"Your Majesty, you cannot leave the palace at this time! Randall and Erica are not around, don't be provoked by the wolves!" said the wall clock.

Jace growled with a pair of fangs sticking out. The black veins all over his body seemed to be more dense and prominent when he was angry. He stood in front of the door to his room, holding a sword firmly in his hand.

"That girl is here!" said the lampshade. "We don't know what will happen next."

"Yeah, it's noon now! Anything can happen, right?" coax a pot of water.

Jace's muscles began to loosen. All the furniture there was a little relieved. Jace tilted his head in thought.

"We are safe in here, Your Majesty!" repeated the old clock. "They won't be able to break through the palace as long as that witch's thorn tree continues to stand there."

"And I'll never be able to get out of here without paying a fortune as long as that cursed tree is around!" Jace replied grimly.

He tossed the longsword onto the bed and walked restlessly to the windo

At the same time, she grabbed a branch that was strong enough and slashed at the two wolves.The wood tip brushed against the muzzle of one of the wolves. However, the second wolf managed to bite Rain's hand. The girl rolled to the ground, trying to escape the wolf's bite. With her strength, Rain kicked the wolf's stomach until the edge was released.The two wolves backed away in fear. Rain crouched in a standby position. Her hands were oozing fresh blood. Rain's breath was panting with sweat dripping down. The weather was quite cold, but she was sweating profusely.The other wolves were alert and surrounded Rain. Rain was careful with her broken wood."Why are my tears suddenly falling? Why am I crying at a time like this? Is this a sign of death?"Rain couldn't move. She was so scared. Although she mastered taekwondo from her father, her father never taught her to fight five wolves at once.The wolf's movements were bizarre. They seem

    "Isn't that a very reckless act, Your Majesty?" Erica hissed.At night, Jace Dauntess has to face the wrath of his icy-faced householder."Erica, you're exaggerating!" Jace protested."This anger is even less than what it should be, Your Majesty!" Erica growled as she folded her arms across her chest.The fire crackled in the tiled stove. The room still harboured traces of the Darkwood Palace's glory—a three-headed eagle of wrought gold, thick carpet, and curtains draped in an abundance of brocade.Erica's complaints were unfinished. All the list of complaints she mentioned in front of Jace as a result of his carelessness and attitude that Jace has become increasingly indifferent lately.Jace rubbed his blackened wrists. He was trying to hide from Erica. But the woman had eyes sharper than an eagle.Erica walked briskly across Jace's extensive study. She went behind Jace's desk and grabbed the man's hand without permission."This is even worse than I thought!" Erica complained.Jace d

    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 walked out of Chiel Burley's private residence after single-handedly defeating the ripping demons. A few steps after crossing the street, Chiel's house exploded. Enormous flames soared into the night sky. Rain grinned while wiping the blood dripping down her forehead."The ripping demon must be buried with their maker. They must be ripped apart together and put into the deepest hell."Gazing up at the dark sky, the full moon shone brightly above her head. Black clouds rolled across the sky. Rain felt a very strong magical energy coming from somewhere.Erica had just arrived at the city of darkness, where she met West and briefly explained everything. Point in seconds, the entire army of darkness from the city of darkness rose and appeared at the border box together; they attacked the pack of wolves trying to protect the city. War is unavoidable.A large, dark creature with wide wings landed right before Rain. Rain had never seen this creature before, but she often heard its name

    Rain had turned around and was about to leave Chiel Burley's house. However, the warlock suddenly sat up straight while clutching his sore neck."Who gave you permission to leave here?" muttered Chiel.Rain's steps stopped, and she turned back to Chiel. "No one needs your approval or permission. You don't even have the right to speak before me!"The peak of the full moon is only a few hours away. Rain must quickly find Jace and save him. Rain didn't know that the impact of the curse she had given would be this terrible. Rain had to stop it before something worse happened.Chiel grinned. He stood up with difficulty and challenged Rain. The face of the warlock in the body of a 10-year-old boy looks annoying.Rain really can remember everything. Her past, especially her childhood. Rain remembered always playing together with Chiel in the Darkwood forest. There was one question that always bothered Rain's mind at that time. Chiel's body never grows old or taller, while Rain continues to g

    "You were born from a forbidden relationship between King Dauntess II and the palace witch—Alyssa Cruise," Chiel said to Rain."King Dauntess II? Jace Dauntess' father?" Rain almost screamed. "Not!"Rain's eyes flashed red. Something burst from within the girl."Markus Orwell is not your father! Your name should be Rain Cruise. Your mother—Alyssa Cruise, never married a king. You have no right to inherit the Dauntess name."Rain shook her head vigorously. A demonic figure that was uncontrollable and which Rain never realized was stored inside her is now present and wants to take the girl's consciousness.Rain choked Chiel's neck suddenly, very strong and fast. Rain pushed Chiel until he fell from his wheelchair. Rain forced the warlock against the wall as she continued to choke him.On the other hand, Haramon was lying unconscious with a pool of blood seeping from his head. Moments ago, Haramon tried to attack Rain, who threatened to kill Chiel. With just one swing of Rain's left hand

    Rain stood up, panting. She held her stomach, which felt like it was being stabbed. God knows how long and far she ran from the Darkwood forest to Westlake City. All the way in Rain's mind, there was only one name. Currently, the distance between Rain and the owner of that name was only separated by a double black door.Without hesitation, Rain immediately pressed the button beside the door hard, fast, and repeatedly. The owner of the house did not appear to answer the door. Rain has no more time. She's racing against time.Rain clenched her fists and started pounding on the black door with all her might. She no longer cared about the throbbing pain in her knuckles. She kept banging on the door like a madman.On the umpteenth bang, the door finally swung open. It was still too dark when the house owner was forced awake to receive a disturbing visitor."Where is Chiel?"Haramon, Chiel Burley's personal assistant, answered the door. He stood confused. His pair of sleepy eyes could not b

    The wolf's lips were drawn back so that its sharp teeth showed clearly. Rain saw his red tongue sticking out. There was hatred in his eyes when he saw Erica. It was hatred that was pure and uniquely human.Rain started to think. "The wolf is no stranger! But, where have I seen him before, huh? Was he the pack that attacked me in the Darkwood forest? Or is he part of Hardy's pack?"Rain's thoughts were broken when she heard Erica's voice."Are you coming for the girl or me?" With sweat pouring from her temples, Erica asked, but her hands were steady and tightly gripped by the whips in her hands.The wolf stepped towards Erica with a low growl."There's still time," Erica said. "Markus will definitely want to take you back. Just leave Mayor Flynn."With a growl, the wolf lunged. Erica shouted as she swung her whip in the air to chase the wolf into the wolf's side. The wolf backed away, and Rain saw the blood dripping between the dense fur. Blood flowed again as the wolf tried to attack

    After slapping Erica in such a daring manner, Rain wished she could glean some explanation about her father's connection to everything that had happened. However, Erica remained silent like an unshakable rock.The door closed behind Erica, leaving Rain alone in Jace's room. There was only Rain's heavy breathing and the sound of her fingertips trying to tug at the door handle and banging, all to no avail."Damn it! Erica locked me in here. What does she really want? And my dad, why is he involved in all this? He was behaving very strangely. He's not like my dad, but someone else who is a complete stranger."After trying various ways to escape Jace's room and failing, Rain finally smashed herself against the door again and again until she was tired. Her side ached. Rain slumped to the floor and tried not to cry."Somewhere, my dad is taking Jace somewhere, and I don't know what he's going to do with that young man. I should be more worried about my dad. But now, I feel disgusted and ang

    "I want your promise first," Erica said firmly one more time."First? You don't believe me, Erica?" Markus smiled humorlessly. "I will definitely do as you have asked. A promise is a promise. Although I was a bit surprised when I received your message. I didn't think you would mind living in a palace as grand as this. You never like being in silence?""You don't know how that feels," Erica hissed. "Every time I feel afraid if the child dies.""That's right. I don't know." Mark's voice sounded sad as if he pitied Erica. But there was dislike in Mark's eyes. There was also reproach in his tone. "If you haven't succeeded in resurrecting the witch, you shouldn't have called me here."Erica's face contorted. "It's not easy to restore her strength. People have to find a way, but nothing works. Including… us." Erica's voice trembled."You mean that fragile prince?" Markus turned to Jace, who was tangled in thorns on one wall. Mark chuckled. "Kids grow up fast, don't they?

    Rain heard Jace screaming in his room in the east tower. When Rain ran and pushed open Jace's bedroom door, she saw the room filled with swirling black mist.Rain was confused by the situation that occurred. When she approached while calling out Jace's name in panic, pain spread across Rain's arms, cheeks, and even all over Rain's body. The girl screamed. Then instinctively, Rain covered her face with her hands.Rain felt something wrapped around her body. Feels like the barbed wire that is sharp and stabbing. Rain squirmed and struggled. However, the entanglement felt increasingly piercing the skin until it penetrated the flesh."Not! What's this? Jace, are you all right? What's going on here?"Rain couldn't see anything other than the dense fog clumping around her. She thought Jace was again possessed by the monster inside him. However, Rain heard the sound of footsteps."That's enough!" shouted Erica in a calm voice.Erica waved her hand in front of her face, and instantly, the bla

    Rain turned to Erica and let go of the woman's grip. Then she turned to Ben. Now, Rain looked at Ben seriously and said something only they could hear."No one knows how to cure it," said Rain. "Jace has been injured by a powerful ripping demon. No mortal doctor knows how to treat a wound like that."Ben had already opened his mouth and was about to issue words to refute Rain's statement. Ben thought he had many different ways of treatment that may be Rain didn't know about. But, suddenly, Ben chose not to speak and fell silent. Ben realized it would all be in vain. Because Ben knows that when Rain has made a decision, the girl will not turn away from her commitment.Erica felt disappointed, and she thought Rain would instead join Benjamin. Erica did not blame the girl's decision. Because of the situation, if you look at it from anywhere, Jace looks really detrimental to Rain. Thus, Erica turned around and returned to her friends."She doesn't want to come with us?" asked Samantha dis
