Fated to the Beast 57| Clarissa and Two Warlocks
When Rain turned to Ben and tried to clarify whether the figure she met in the forest was Ben or was it just Rain's dream and imagination? However, at that moment, someone rattled the latch on the gate until it made a loud sound. Ben immediately went to the second-floor window directly opposite the gate. Ben could see who was making a fuss ahead through the window. "Guys!" Ben ran back to where Rain and Jace were. "Someone's coming." Rain and Jace were shocked. "Is that my dad?" Ben glanced out the window and looked at the fence someone was trying to open. He shook his head. "Not Mr. Orwell. However, there was a woman and two men there. Rain, do you know them? Or do they live on the ground floor?" "Woman and man?" The curious Jace finally ran across the room and peeked through the window. Jace hissed. "Those two men are warlocks!" "Warlocks? What do you mean?" Ben was confused. "Is that a cool term for someone?" No one answered Ben's curiosity. "Why would a warlock come to my
Fated to the Beast 58| The Mystery of Mr. Orwell
"Two weeks ago, I've come here and checked the whole place. I didn't find it anywhere. Now you insist on asking me to bring you here. You can look it up yourself if you don't believe me." Clarissa's voice sounded very nervous and desperate. "Don't play dumb," said one of the warlocks in a snarling voice. "We know that bastard has a daughter. My men found her pictures in the hospital bed where he was being treated." At that moment, Rain's pair of eyes opened wide. "Jace, they're talking about my dad! Those who brought my dad? That woman betrayed my dad?" Rain is very emotional. She would almost disappear if Jace didn't hold herself back and cover Rain's mouth. "Please, don't make a sound!" whispered Jace. Rain could only shed tears silently. She was eager to know where her father was now and how he was doing. The two warlocks turned towards the bookshelf where Rain and the two men were hiding. They were suspicious because they thought they heard voices from there. Clarissa quick
Fated to the Beast 59| Back to the Palace
The three were in the carriage heading to the Darkwood Kingdom via Westlake Station. Jace looked still angry at Rain. He sat away from the girl. "Thanks for bringing me along," said Ben. "I thought you would choose to go with him and ignore me." "Don't get excited just yet, Ben. I don't fully trust you, either. Sorry. I brought you along because I wanted to prove Jace's words wrong." Ben looks both disappointed and grateful. "At least you still have a little bit of faith in me. I'm so scared now. Where have you been all this time? What kind of work are you doing? Eventually, I'll find out." Rain looked around the train that was taking them to Westlake Station. There were no passengers in the carriage other than the three of them. Rain glanced at the window. Outside it began to be shrouded in thick fog. Even though no other passengers were in the carriage, they were riding in. Rain was sure that the dark forces were around. Only they didn't show up because of Benjamin's presence.
Fated to the Beast 60| Wrong Place
"Shut up and come with me!" Rain suddenly felt her body stiffen. "Jace?" she thought. Jace removed his embrace from Rain's body and turned the girl to face him. "Did you forget where you belonged?" Jace Dauntess stood tall before Rain with his skin covered in black runes. Rain felt something was different. She thought the runes were showing more and more than usual. Even half of Jace's face, which was previously clean, was now covered in runes. "Is this just my feeling?" "Yes, the runes on my body are increasing—resulting in me leaving the Darkwood forest and using excessive force. I should have used makeup as you taught me, not covered it with charms. Just so you know, if this rune fills every inch of the surface of my body, then I will forever manifest as a beast." Rain gaped, and subconsciously she had her hand over her mouth. "Why do you do all that when you know the risks are so great?" "I hunt with time. My choices are only two points: time is running out, and I die, or t
Fated to the Beast 61| The Key
"What happened to your room?" Rain looked around the room that had previously been Jace's private room. She couldn't believe that the room was now filled with lots of vines, twisted tree branches, fallen leaves, and even bits of wet soil that had been carried away. "Careful, watch the steps--" Before Jace finished speaking, Rain's head hit one of the tree branches wrapped around Jace's bedpost. Rain backed away in a panic, but instead, she tripped over a plant root. Jace grabbed Rain's waist quickly and held her back so she wouldn't fall over. Rain paled. She was confused and felt stupid. "Thank you. Can you explain what this is?" "These plants are angry because I left the palace for a few days. They swell and twist everywhere every time I use the power of the runes on my body. They are like a curse bound to my body. These plants represent the black energy that resides within my soul." "Does that mean the black energy in your body is getting bigger?" "They will get bigger with
Fated to the Beast 62| Ralph the Guardian Tree
Rain fell silent in surprise. Then she began to speak in a passionate voice. "So basically, you're saying that my dad was a warlock? And he got involved in the rebellion to eliminate humans and rule the world?" No answer from anyone. Ralph, the old tree, only moved his branches faintly and Jace remained hidden in the black rose thorns. "Then my dad ran away with something crucial for the peace of this world?" Rain laughed. "It was as if I had just heard a fairy tale about American superheroes. It is bizarre. I'm sure you're talking about someone else. That's not my father." Rain almost screamed to express her anxiety and anger. There was the sound of Ralph the tree sighing. Then Rain turned in the direction where Jace was shrouded in vines of thorny roses. She walked stiffly, stomping and avoiding the tangled roots and vines on the floor of Jace's bedroom. "Jace..." "Please don't come to any closer, Rain. I don't want you to see me in this state." "Then why did you bring me her
Fated to the Beast 63| Visiting the Cabin in the Forest
"You guys still joke about silly things like that?" Ben smirked and replaced his spoon with a new one. After breakfast, they didn't know what to do. Rain was supposed to be working. She felt uncomfortable if she had to perform in front of Benjamin and serve Jace like a king. "Yeah, he's the king here, and I'm his servant. I feel awkward if I have to do all that in front of Ben," Rain complained in front of Erica. Erica just stared at Rain coldly with no expression at all like usual. Then the women said something that made Rain really couldn't believe it was coming out of Erica's mouth. "Miss Orwell, you technically still have your day off for the next few days. It's just that you really can't leave Darkwood no matter what." Rain stared. "Does that mean I'm free to do anything as long as I don't leave this palace?" "Yes, that's right. Randall can drive you if you want to go into town and take a walk. But I don't recommend it if you want to go to the forest. Do you remember the la
Fated to the Beast 64| Dominant Key Blood
"Who knows? I suddenly felt uncomfortable. Maybe I caught a bit of a cold or something. Do you mind if we go home now?" "Yes, of course. Maybe we've gone too far, and you're exhausted. Your face is ashen. You're sweating quite a lot. I thought you were sick." Ben reached over to Rain's forehead and felt the girl have a slight fever. Ben suddenly knelt in the middle of the cabin with his back to Rain. "What are you doing, Ben?" "Get on my back. I will carry you back to the old palace." "No, Ben. I can walk. I'm fine." Rain is still forced to walk. Rain's footsteps suddenly faltered as they passed through the cabin door, and her vision darkened. Benjamin caught the girl's body just right before she wholly collapsed to the floor. "You're always stubborn. I told you you had a slight fever. Let me carry you until we get back." "No, Ben. Do not! My body is too heavy." Rain blushed. "I don't want to keep bothering you." "There's nothing heavier than my own life," whispered Ben. Wit
