Benjamin kept trying to contact Rain via his cell phone. The last call he made was when he had just arrived at Westlake Station. At that time, Ben could not contact Rain's cell phone. The message he sent was also not read by the girl, let alone replied.Ben walked towards the station exit. As he passed the information board, he quickly grabbed a flyer and a Westlake travel map. Ben approached one of the guards near the entrance. He opened the travel map and showed it to the station attendant."Sir, how do I get to this place?"The station attendant narrowed his eyes and looked Ben up and down. His mouth was constantly chewing gum. The big, fat officer didn't seem to like Ben's question."Are you a tourist?" asked the officer."Yes. I'm on a winter tour —probably," Ben answered hesitantly.The officer continued to chew while squinting. He glanced at Ben suspiciously."The place has long been closed by the local government. No more tourists are allowed to come there. Public transportati
"Bring her back, Benjamin!" she whispered emphatically in Ben's face.Ben left her without saying much. He was like a madman who kept running and bumping into anyone who got in his way. Ben left the old church. He hooded the hoodie and folded his arms across his chest. His steps were comprehensive and fast.Wet roads at night. The rain had just stopped when Ben arrived at the station. The rain left a lot of puddles. He had to jump and choose a path slightly to the edge to avoid the puddles.Ben stopped in front of the old Westlake housing estate. He was standing under a blue street lamp. Moths swarmed the light bulb above his head."Should I go back to them?" Ben looked very upset. "If that's the only way to find Rain, then I'll do anything!"Whoa!Ben saw a black shadow flashing fast on the roof of one of the buildings. He stepped away from the street lamp and hid in the shadow of a large willow tree. Ben looked at the tops of the houses there. Something flew out of the chimney of on
Rain blinked. She felt she had slept too long. When Rain was fully awake, she saw that the room around her was still dark. However, it wasn't completely dark because Sam had left the light beside Rain's bed a dim yellowish glow. However, the piercing cold air told Rain it was getting late.She sat on the bed. Rain moved her bandaged hands and feet. She didn't feel any pain at all. Rain was surprised."Are the herbs that great they have?"Out of curiosity, Rain removed the bandage on her arm. Rain touched the skin of her arm. The wolf bite marks almost tear apart her flesh, only leaving a faint scar."Wow, amazing! Am I not dreaming?" Rain slapped her cheek and felt the pain.Still in disbelief, she turned to the bandage on the leg. Rain remembered how the wolf's jaws pressed firmly against her calf. The pain made her faint.Carefully, Rain removed the bandage on her leg. When all the bandages were removed, Rain stared wide-eyed."This wound has completely healed?"She moved her feet.
"Aah...." Rain screeched in fear.She fell on the forest floor full of humus. As soon as Rain turned around, she saw a man figure standing behind her in a dark jacket.The man reached out and covered Rain's mouth. Rain tried to rebel. However, her body strength was feeble. The man hugged and pinned Rain's body so she wouldn't move. They lay under a fallen tree."Shh… don't make a sound. It's me, Ben!" whispered the man behind Rain's ear.Rain recognized Ben's voice. It is Ben. The muscles in Rain's body that had previously tensed up now began to relax. She felt relieved, even if only for a moment.Crack... Crack... There was the sound of heavy, dragging footsteps. The sound of footsteps drew closer to Rain, and Ben hid."Don't make a sound, okay? I will let go of my hand!" said Ben.Rain nodded in understanding. Her eyes were wary, and so was Ben. The lantern's light also flashed not far from where they were hiding."Who are they? Did the group know that I was following them? Then how
Jace Dauntess had a long journey with the monitors. Sometimes he rides in a horse-drawn carriage like tonight, but usually, he rides a black horse flanked by his guards. Randall, Erica, and the rest of the group followed him from a safe distance.What they do on certain nights, especially a whole night, is more like a show of strength. All that Jace had to do to protect his position as Darkwood's leader and as a consequence of the curse that befell him."Are you getting used to all this, Your Majesty?"A white owl suddenly appeared in the horse carriage. The owl was perched right in the carriage window that Jace had opened.“I noticed you managed to keep your life longer lately. What is your secret, Your Majesty? Have you managed to find the true meaning of love?”The owl's head spun 360 degrees with eyes as black as night. He stopped turning his head and glared at Jace.Jace's eyes lit up bright red. A thin black smoke began to envelop his entire body."Oh, Don't be angry, Your Majes
A skinny black wolf jumped from behind Ben and tried to pounce on the man's shoulder. Just as Rain shouted in warning, Ben turned around while swinging the log he was holding.The sparks from the wood that Ben brought splattered around Ben and the wolf's body. The firewood Ben wielded as a weapon was enough to frighten the wolves but couldn't stop them from attacking."Rain, hurry into the hut, lock all the doors and windows tightly!" shouted Ben."But, what about you? I can't leave you out here alone. These wolves are very scary. They've already pounced on me."Ben is busy chasing the wolves."What?" He was shocked when he heard Rain's confession that the wolves had attacked her.Ben stood facing a pack of wolves that had come from the Forest. They seem never to run out. Rain could only stare at Ben's firm back.Without Rain knowing, some wolves began to retreat. The wolves hesitated to attack Ben. However, the most prominent wolf acting as the herd's leader was undaunted. He continu
Rain Orwell's consciousness seemed to be sucked in very strongly. Her body staggered from back to front. Deftly, Rain looked for a handle so as not to fall. Her eyes were wide open with severe shortness of breath as if something had just lifted Rain from the depths of a high-pressure ocean.Rain stood holding on to the edge of the table. Her ears were ringing loudly. Her eyes were blurry. She shook her head to return her body functions to normal."Where am I?" Rain's left palm held her forehead like a drunk person."Miss Orwell, are you all right?"Somehow Rain saw the figure of Erica sitting in front of her behind a desk. Erica was still wearing the black suit like yesterday."Where am I?" Rain repeated her question. She looked up and looked around at the surroundings where she was standing. "Where is this?""You are in Mr. Dauntess' study." Erica looked confused by Rain's attitude. "Are you sick? You look so pale. Did you eat and sleep well last night?""Overnight?" Rain repeated Er
Erica stretched out her right hand, and Rain returned it. They shake each other."Congratulations, Miss Orwell! I hope you are happy with your new job."Rain didn't know whether to be happy or afraid, considering the years she had worked for. Which means she will also be locked up in the castle for years."What do you think?" inquired Erica."Should I spend my youth here? In this gloomy castle?" Rain smiled bitterly.Erica sighed. "That really depends on how capable you are of healing Young Master.""What? Cure? I'm not a doctor. Besides, I don't know what disease he is suffering from?"Erica drew closer to Rain and placed her index finger on Rain's chest. "He's sick here!"Rain raised her hand in confusion. "He has a heart attack? Lungs?"Erica brought her lips to Rain's ear. "His heart aches. He was injured because his body turned sinister. If you are able to get him out of the castle and see the world, maybe his illne
