Fated to the Beast 15| Forbidden Black Rose
"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 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
Last Updated : 2023-05-21Fated to the Beast 22| Bloody Clothes
"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

Fated to the Beast 117| Curse Breaker's First Kiss - Ending
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
Fated to the Beast 116| Cursed Heart
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
Fated to the Beast 115| Lost Memory Returns (2)
"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
Fated to the Beast 114| The Return of Lost Memories
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
Fated to the Beast 113| Run and Save Yourself!
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
Fated to the Beast 112| Following Erica
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? The last time I saw
Fated to the Beast 110| You Betrayed, Erica?
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
Fated to the Beast 109| You look like the Witch
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
