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
"Oh, the clothes are already damaged. You can throw it away!" Jace said casually.Rain turned around to find Jace standing in front of the bathroom door, wearing only a towel around his waist and the other covering his head and face. In Rain's hand was a white shirt that was torn at the chest and covered in blood like the claws of a beast.Rain knows how it feels to be ripped apart and torn by wolves, even though she's unsure if it's reality or a dream. When she saw the clothes and the blood, Rain immediately panicked. Rain ran over to Jace."What's wrong with you?" Jace backed away uncomfortably.But, Rain continued to approach him. Rain put her hands on Jace's chest and stomach. She checked for parts of Jace's body that might be injured but didn't say anything."Are you hurt, Sir? Your clothes are bleeding. Are you okay?" Rain panicked.Jace froze. He'd never gotten that kind of attention. He didn't even notice that Rain was touching his d
The Hardys' house was shrouded in a thick fog that could only be seen from the roof of one wing of the building. The chirping of birds was heard softly in the cold morning. The remnants of snow were seen clumping together around the tightly closed windows.Knock. Knock. Knock."Benjamin?" called Antony at the guest room door.There was no answer from within. The room at the end of the hall was silent and tightly closed. The windows were also tightly closed by curtains for the past few days. From under the gap in the door, black smoke could be seen that occasionally came out to caress the toe of Antony's sports shoes."Hah!" he sighed. He parted his long hair that hung down to his face while holding his arms. "Make sure you rest well. Good night, Ben..."This morning, Antony was wearing his favorite dark gray tracksuit, the same color as his hair. Behind Antony Hardy came the sound of approaching footsteps. Antony turned and saw his little brother&m
Jace Dauntess wasn't there, and his private room was empty. Rain stood alone like a confused person."Master Dauntess?" called Rain while looking around for the man's whereabouts. Rain thought Jace was making a joke and hid.The wind was blowing hard from the wide-open window. The dark curtains floated in the wind. Rain had to cover her face while walking there."Where is he going? Jumped out of the window?" thought Rain.Rain stood in front of the window staring at the darkness of the Darkwood forest with a shivering body."Hah, this is ridiculous! He would definitely die if he actually jumped from here, right? I'm sure it's just a trick." Rain pulled the window and locked it tightly again."Humph!" she sighed. Rain began to pay close attention to the interior of Jace's room. "He must be hiding here."Rain walked around looking for gaps, secret rooms, or whatever Jace might use to hide. She also checked any wall panels that might hav
Ethan's body fell to the floor. Suddenly, Ben released his noose on the dark brown-haired teenager, who tends to be black. Ethan took a deep breath to eliminate the tightness that ensnared him a moment ago."No need, Ethan." Ben held his hand to Ethan, and the teenager instantly shuffled away."I don't care if other people always think of us as the Flynn family's guard dogs. If that's what we can do for this family and Papa's cause, why not? You guys were always kind and protected us." Ethan felt so bad for Ben."Ethan, you don't have to worry. I'm fine." Ben tried to calm the young werewolf.After ensuring all is well, Ethan resigns and leaves Ben's room. Ethan walked down the hall where the lights were out. The hallway was a little dark even though there was a light source from the gaps in the room's door."Yo," said Anthony, leaning against the side of the hall.Ethan looked at his brother in annoyance and looked away. "What?""Not
"What happened, Your Majesty?" Erica almost got hit by Jace, who ran away in a hurry as she was about to knock on Jace's door. Jace was surprised to see Erica standing there casually. Jace became flustered and tried to hide his embarrassed face. "But, what a coincidence if we meet here. I don't have to go in there, do I?" Erica smirked. "You don't want your secret to be out, do you?" Jace hissed. "You know I don't keep any secrets in my room!" Erica snorted. "Not until last night, yeah!" Jace's face was red and very embarrassed. He seemed caught in the middle of sin. "Ahem! What's the point of you coming here so early, Erica?" Jace's eyes narrowed. "Did you come to stalk me? This early?" "Hey, you're looking at me like I'm the villain here!" Erica raised her hands in disappointment. "How about we have breakfast together downstairs?" Outside, it was snowing heavily. Jace could see the snow from the east tower window. "Not!" Erica tried to look disappointed. "Too bad, I though
