"No!" Scott snapped. He walked over to our car, noted the number, and made a call. His next words left us all in shock, except for Luna. "Listen to me very carefully! I need you to do something big this time. It is a matter of life and death. The number I just gave you, I need you to shift its locations through all CCTV footage, and also alter the memories of this car throughout Shadowbrook.

Oh, yeah! One more thing! Visit the secret back entrance of the Li Lake, collect the blood samples, and start working on searching for him right away!” He then hung up and turned to Luna.

Luna's eyes narrowed. "Who did you call? What is going on?"

Scott sighed. "We need to leave immediately."

“You all are coming with me, and no, I am not asking!” He almost commanded and entered his car. So with no time to argue, we piled into the car.

He drove us to a decent little café located away from Shadowbrook. It was a place I had never been to before. We all settled down at a table in the corner, and he ki

  • Demon's Obsession - I'm Bound to Him   Ghost of The Past

    "It’s because," he murmured, his voice soft yet cutting, "the hare underestimated the turtle. She believed the turtle to be slow, stupid, and incapable that she forgot..." he let the words hang, his lips brushing against my skin as he planted a cold kiss on my cheek, "That a turtle is a reptile after all." I trembled, my body frozen as his words sank in. My thoughts raced, searching for a way out of this, a way to break free, but I felt trapped, paralyzed by the weight of his presence. "When the hare reached the end of the race, she didn't realize she ended up in an ambush!" His tone turned even colder as he circled around the claw marks he had left before "Snap, snap! And..." He backed off and hissed, "She was gone!" He reached close to my ear again."In this little tale, *you* are the hare," he hissed, his tone sharpening like a blade. His hand shot forward, fingers curling around my throat in a vice-like grip. I gasped, choking as his grip tightened, the pressure building until

  • Demon's Obsession - I'm Bound to Him   One Step Forward

    His hands found my shoulders, his grip firm but gentle, grounding me when everything else felt uncertain. He smiled, and though his expression was warm, there was a flicker of something deeper—something raw—just beneath the surface. "I promise, we’ll get through this together," he said.His voice wavered ever so slightly, and that’s when I noticed the tears brimming in his eyes. They didn’t fall, nor did he swallow them down. Instead, they lingered there, a testament to the pain he was carrying but refusing to let loose.And then, he reached for my hand. His fingers tangled with mine, and I couldn’t help but stare at the connection. The warmth of his touch spread through me, grounding and disarming all at once. I looked up at him, my gaze searching his face.What was it that gave him this strength? Was it love—the kind I had never fully given him? Or was it the pain I had inflicted upon him, a wound I had carved into him without realizing the depth of it? Whatever it was, I wished I h

  • Demon's Obsession - I'm Bound to Him   His broken soul

    “You’re not mad at me?” I asked, my voice breathless as we circled each other.He smirked, his movements relaxed yet calculating. “Why would I be mad at you?”I didn’t have time to answer before he tossed the stick aside, advancing with a confidence that was almost unnerving. His next punch came faster, but I caught it, twisting his arm just enough to make him wince.“It’s not the first time I’ve been turned down by someone I cared about,” he said, his voice softer now, carrying a weight that hadn’t been there before. He forced a smile, but it didn’t reach his eyes.I paused, lowering my arms. “You’ve… been in love before?”He shook his head, a bitter laugh escaping his lips. “It’s not about falling in love,” he said, his tone laced with disappointment. “It’s about ever loving someone—whether it’s your dad, your mom...” He trailed off, reaching for his water bottle. Taking a slow sip, he added, “...or anyone you’ve ever been close to.”I didn’t know how to respond, the sudden vulnerab

  • Demon's Obsession - I'm Bound to Him   A Clear Warning

    I narrowed my eyes, gritting my teeth as defiance surged within me. "Or what?" I spat, raising my chin in challenge.A sinister smile tugged at the corners of his lips, and with deliberate slowness, he raised the blade in his hand. The cold steel kissed my temple, trailing down the side of my face with maddening gentleness, before resting lightly against the curve of my neck.His voice dropped to a venomous whisper, so close that every word felt like a dagger slicing into me. "Just know this—I am not merciful. I won’t let you go." His smile deepened, twisting into something darker. "But I won’t kill you either, though I will make you beg for them both!"The blade pressed just enough to send a warning shiver through my body, though it only broke my skin a little bit."One by one," he continued, his words soaked in malice, "I will wipe out every last one of your friends. And I will make sure you watch them suffer, helpless and broken. I’ll burn every tree under which you seek shelter. I

  • Demon's Obsession - I'm Bound to Him   Silent Suffering

    Now I stood in a tunnel, long and cavernous, stretching endlessly in both directions. The walls were shrouded in an impenetrable darkness, their edges melting into the black void. No light flickered here, no sound stirred the air. The silence was so intense it felt alive, wrapping around me like a thick blanket, squeezing the breath from my lungs.And then I heard it—a hiccup.The sound, small and fragile, broke the suffocating silence like a crack in glass. I spun toward it, my eyes straining to see through the dark. Someone was there, curled up on the ground, his body trembling as he shielded his head with his hands.I squinted, my steps slow and cautious as I approached. The closer I got, the more I could make out—the tousled hair, and the quivering shoulders. And then I saw him. Blonde hair, his face hidden against his curled-up knees, as though he were trying to vanish into himself.My steps quickened, driven by an urgency I couldn’t suppress, and I closed the distance between us

  • Demon's Obsession - I'm Bound to Him   Crumbling inside

    I dropped my gaze to the floor, my fingers tightening around the edge of the book. I couldn’t find the words to respond. How could I? The pain in my chest swelled, too big, too raw. “You know,” he continued, his voice softer now, “I’m still new to all of this, but… I don’t think what you two had was a spell.” Those words jolted me, forcing my eyes to meet his. There was something steady and earnest in his expression, something that held me there even as my throat tightened and my vision blurred with tears. He gave a small shrug, a gesture almost awkward but kind. “Consider me your friend. Or… a brother, if that’s easier—” Before he could finish, I couldn’t hold it back anymore. I lunged forward, clinging to him as the dam broke. Silent sobs wracked my body, spilling out all the pain I’d tried so desperately to suppress. “It’s okay,” he murmured, his arms circling me hesitantly at first, then more firmly. He rubbed slow circles on my back, his voice low and soothing. “It’s ok
