Semua Bab THE BILLIONAIRE WEREWOLF AND HIS DAMSEL IN DISTRESS: Bab 21 - Bab 30

“ The next game is called the game of Echoes.” Luke announced, standing on the makeshift ring where the five used to practice fighting. “Each competitor will go through the East portal which leads to the world of the hollows. For the sake of those who do not know,” he continued. “ Hollows are phantoms that can see guilt, pain, rage, jealousy, and envy. They can also materialize into your greatest fears, your deepest desires and the things that haunt you when you sleep.The five competitors will go through the portal carrying a Zuan candle. They are to travel across the Maze of Moreh carrying the candle until they find their way back to this world. As you know, the Zuan candle doesn't go out, so the competitors have a light to scare away the Hollows.” Luke said. “ And what happens if the candle goes out.” Lupita said. “ The game seems too easy, no?” “ Like I said, the Zuan candle is no ordinary candle. It can only go out if the person who is holding it starts to feel fear, grief, or

“ What did you do to him?” Lupita said as she walked into Luke's room with Anthony, Marlowe and Kanos. After shaking, yelling and begging Luke to wake up, when he collapsed, I checked his pulse and when I realized he was still breathing, I ran to Marlowe's office for help. “I didn't do anything! He was standing there,” I pointed to the spot. “ And then I gave him some tea…” “ Tea?” Kanos said from the window side. “ Yes! I gave him tea, he drank it…” “ What was in the tea that you gave him?” Kanos asked again, his jaw tightening. He was chief of security for the castle and was in charge of making sure nothing bad happened in the Castle. Marlowe finally did the same thing I had done earlier, checking Luke's pulse to see if he was still alive. “ Why do I smell Hyoscine ” Lupita said as she pushed past me to smell the kettle of tea. “ Did you give him Hyoscine?” She asked. “ I don't even know what that is—” I started to defend myself. “ Bull! You gave him Hyoscine and masked i

” I pay my respects to the clan of the Balgarus, the clan of Dorian, the clan of Obsidian, and the clan of Umbrathos. Their bravery and their valour will never be forgotten and will remain unsullied in our hearts. The remaining competitors and the champion will now go through the last portal for the last game. A battle against the Beasts of Druskell. In the third game, every competitor will be required to either leave a memory, their ability to shift or their identity. In the game, there are three beasts. There is the turtle, the dove and the deer. No competitor knows the animal that they will encounter when they go through the portal, so they have to pick what to leave behind and what to keep. If a competitor decides to leave a memory, and encounters the turtle, the turtle may ask a question from the competitors past that the competitor may not be able to answer. If the competitor decides to leave behind their ability to shift, and encounters a deer, the deer may ask that the c

“ I need your help.” I said.“ And you came to me?” Marlowe said without looking at me as he continued to sign his heaps of documents in his study. “ How could you trust Desmond? He attacked Luke. Almost killed him. Now they're friends again and you're okay with that?” “ Desmond and Luke have been friends for fifty years. The only reason they came apart was because of you.” He said. “ That's a lie and you know it. Desmond would betray Luke on a whim even without me.” I said. “ Your efforts are charming, girl, but there's nothing I can do. The effects of Hyoscine cannot be reversed.” “ So you're going to let your son live a life where he's lost over twenty years of his memory?” “ If it means it would get rid of you, then yes. Tonight is the last game. He'll forfeit, you'll go with Desmond, and your life issues will finally be out of my hands.” “ What about the promise you made to my father? What if he comes and he sees I'm not here?” “ Then we'll tell him that the games of Drus

LUKE'S POV Where did she say she was going, Irene?” I asked. “ She didn't tell me…I don't know.” She answered. I was a little shocked that Irene would lie to me. It was something she had never done before. She had already grown so much affection towards Joyce. “ Irene, I'm her husband,” I said. “ I'm not going to hurt her, I'm just going to bring her back so the people who are trying to hurt her won't be able to.” “ Well, she told me not to tell anyone. She said that your memory's all washed of your affection for her. That you didn't care.” “ If I didn't care, Irene, I wouldn't be asking! I just saw my sister and Anthony drugged with Hyoscine. There's something dangerous at play here, and I need you to tell me where Joyce is!”“ She said she was going to find her father or go to Africa or Brazil. She did not say where specifically sir.” “ Well that's a terrible plan.” I said. “ She was scared. Master Marlowe and Mistress Lupita wanted to let her go to the winner, and she could
