Chapter 26.1 … … Tik tak… Tik tak… Tik tak… The noise of the large clock in the center of the royal palace was echoing with loud and nerving sounds, when a soldier rushed into the prince’s office. His heavy panting and loud breathing could be heard clearly as he ran from the main entrance into the fourth floor. “Prince Eugene!!!” he yelled with fear scratching his face “Pr… Prince Eugene… Humans… Lady… They… We couldn’t save… Uh… I am sorry… Prince Eugene…” “Hey, calm down and take a breath.” Prince Eugene, the handsome silver-haired and rare wolf, left his desk and approached the soldier lightly. “Did something bad happen??” “The worst!!!” “Take a breath and speak up!” The soldier clutched at his chest, lowered his eyes into the floor, took a deep breath, and hesitantly said: “Humans barged into the palace’s walls…” “Yes…” “We tried to stop them, but many soldiers were killed…” “Yes.” “They scattered spies insid
Chapter 26.2…… When he had first met her, her electrifying smile had completely won him over. So too had her cupid-bow lips, her coral-black hair and her eyes of paradise-blue which glittered as clear as a mountain stream. His wounds ached with pain and his left leg throbbed. Tap. A pause. Tap-tap. A longer pause. He felt an acute pain and a ringing sound filled his head. He tried to stay upright and summon strength and for a brief moment he did. Then his left leg betrayed him and he felt a hard rap above his ear. “Man up, soldiers!” A sergeant called to plan on the prince of furies’ death. He had Hercules shoulders and a hard stare. When he raised his voice, it was as loud as bottled thunder. He glared with contempt at the young recruits who were cowering in the trench. A soldier called out to the sarge from the end of the trench. “Our men have fallen, sergeant Louis!” Sergeant Louis cursed and leaned into the ear of the recruit. He said something to the novice and ma
hapter 26.3…… He stepped into the gates of the castle, as blood oozed out of his wounds and his legs felt paralyzed. He stared around him, at every corner, and sniffed the air searching for her faint smell. His eyes wandered to find any traces of her, yet she was not close, as if she had disappeared from earth. His heart beat hastily, his temperature rose, his blood boiled in his veins and the urge to kill kicked in again. He could fall for his monster again, but that time he was afraid he could not control it and lose his sanity. “Noelle!!” he screamed loudly “NOELE!!! Where are you???? I am here for you!!! Noelle!!” He let out a shaky breath as he felt his mouth was bone dry. A small lump was sitting in his throat and he had suddenly lost the ability of speech. His heart was pounding against his ribs as if trying to fulfill a thousand beats, and he exhaled deeply, releasing some of the tension that had built up in his shoulders. He felt a sudden sickening sensati
Chapter 27…… The world started lighting up as he opened his eyes slowly, his vision was slightly blurred and he could see a woman’s face in front of him. Her eyes were red, probably from crying for him, and her head was wrapped with bandages. He could not totally read the situation around him, but he noticed that his hands, feet, head and chest were all wrapped with bandages. “Noelle…” he murmured as he slightly opened his eyes. “Eugene…” called the girl “Eugene… Did you wake up?? Are you fully conscious now?? Say hello if you are alive!” “Where am I?” “Eugene… This is my cottage… Don’t you remember?? You were deeply injured.” An electrifying pain pulsated in his chest, reminding him of his situation. Lydia was the woman who saved and nursed him, and her face was pale, her eyes were red, her eyebrows were frowned and her breath was tight. Could she have woke up the whole night for him? “How are you feeling now??” Lydia asked. “Are you in pain? Who
Chapter 1…… “Run… Hide!!” Yelled a woman “Stay away from them!!” The woman cried as blood gushed out of her mouth. Lydia sobbed as she lifted her mother’s head into her lap. It was a shock for a 6 years old girl to lose her mother and witness her being torn out like a paper in their claws. “No! I do not want to leave you!” screamed Lydia “I can not leave mama! I can not live without you!” She held her mother closer to her small and fragile body, hoping she could get more power to protect her mother from their attack. “Ly… Lydia…” mumbled the mother “Y… You can… Can not… You shall… You must s… Survive… You have to run…” “But…” cried Lydia “You are not safe here… G… Go away and hide… I will die anyway! I can not do it!! Please run! I beg you!” “No!!” “RUNAWAY!! RUN NOW!!” “Please, do not say so! You can make it! We can make it together!! I believe you can survive! I do not want to lose you! I do not want to be alone! Mama, I am sca
Chapter 2…… “Lydia!! Get down, now!!” yelled the voice “We have prepared you and your animals a feast. So, have a breakfast and eat together with your type.” Just as the same nuisance as every day. Lydia went downwards the stairs, as she could see her stepmother’s silhouette in the corridor with two maids, placing her arms at her hips with a mockery look on her face. The two maids were holding some leftovers of the morning breakfast, which were packed poorly, as if they did not consider Lydia a human being or a part of the family. “Get your trash out and eat with your animals.” Mocked the stepmother. Lydia held her so-called feast, as none of the food was edible for people to eat, and stepped out of the villa. Her sister Sofia watched the scene from across the living room, as she smirked at her without a single pity on her face. Lydia was used to such scenarios whenever her father would leave her with her stepmother and stepsister for a business trip. Sofia was t
Chapter 3…… In front of the cabin, Lydia loaded her pistol and stepped carefully towards the cottage. She was scared that they might hear her loud heartbeats. Her breath was shallow and deep, she was trying to drag more air into her shivering lips. Her forehead was sweating, even if it was an afternoon of February. All of sudden, she barged hastily into the cabin, holding her pistol tightly and placing her finger on the trigger, ready to shoot at any time. She pointed the pistol to the front, as her hands were trembling and shivering. Could she be able to do it? “Do not move!!” she yelled “I will shoot!!!” She looked around her, but found no one in front. She was sure that someone would be hiding in the cabin, however she was shocked that she found no one. Frightening her, was the large pond of red fresh blood, that seemed still warm and new. She knew, then, that they were near around. Then, out of blue, a man from behind the door barged at her, wrapping his musc
Chapter 4…… Upon opening his eyes, the whole world was blurry and dark for him, he felt that he had drown into an abyss of hell. His chest was tight as if a heavy elephant was stomping on it. His wound was aching as if he was stabbed thousands of times. His body felt light and powerless as if his soul was departing from it. He could not hear. He could not see. He could not feel. “Mr. White Man…” he could hear a voice calling, trying to bring him out of his abyss “Mr. White Man… Mr. White Man… Can you hear me? If you are alive say yes, if you are dead say no! Mr. White Man!” “Who the hell is ‘Mr. White Man’?” he questioned as he felt her voice had brought him out from death. “Ahh! You are alive! You worried the hell out of me!!” “Were… Were you… Calling me ‘Mr. White Man’?” “Oh! Did you like it? I use to give names to my animals, and your hair is sooo white.” “Am… Am I an animal… To you?” “Ehe!” “Shut your ‘Ehe’ up!” “Mr. Whit
