Fated to the Beast 48| Spark
Thousands of lights seemed to pierce Rain's tightly closed eyelids. There was a high shrill sound like a child wailing in fear in the distance. Rain felt nauseous and then opened her eyes very slowly. "My head hurts!" Rain groaned. Her bare back and arms felt like they were stabbed by something sharp and cold. Rain moved her hand. Her palms felt like she was lying on the wet and cold grass. Rain looked up and stared at the sky that stretched black and dense. "There are no stars. No moon. The sky was really dark. Where am I now?" Someone walked over and knelt beside Rain's head. The girl looked up with difficulty. She saw the figure of Jace Dauntess, still wearing a hoodie to cover his ugly face, apparently kneeling there. Rain was ready to say the words, but Jace put his index finger to her lips. "Shut up and don't make a sound!" Rain nodded weakly. Not far from where Rain was lying on her back, she could hear a shrill voice splitting her ears. Rain turned her head to the side

Rain could faintly hear the voices of several people talking not far from where she was. Rain still couldn't open her eyes. Her body and eyes felt heavy, but her ears could pick up on the sounds. "They're talking about me? It's the voices of Jace and Erica." Rain felt like sleeping all the time. Somehow she felt very comfortable where she was now. There was a sweet scent of chamomile tea and warm croissants wafting through her nose. Rain's stomach was churning. She's starving. "When was the last time I ate?" Rain tried to squirm but couldn't. "It's dangerous here. We'd better go back, Your Majesty!" "I will take Rain to Darkwood." "No, Your Majesty! Let's leave the girl here!" said Erica. Rain sharpened her hearing. "Why? Why did we take it off after we got it?" Jace protested Erica's decision. Erica sounded a sigh. "We don't even know if she's a witch or not?" "Isn't what we've seen enough evidence to prove that she's a witch? If we don't bring her back now, we won't have
Last Updated : 2023-05-24Fated to the Beast 50| Storage Lockers at Athens Station
"At which station?" Jace was getting annoyed. They had flown back and forth to several nearby stations and had no results according to Rain's father's instructions. "I don't know, Jace. I thought the station my father was referring to was the closest in town or the closest to the hospital where he was being treated. But we did not get anything from all the storage areas in the two stations." Rain spoke without looking at Jace. She looked very panicked and also tired. They were at the last closest station they could get to. "Do you have any other clues?" Jace was getting impatient. "That's a clue we're working on right now." Rain sighed and chose silence while sitting in the carriage. Her hands clasped to her chest. They decided to take the train to the next station, wrapped up in silent anger. Rain stayed close to Jace. The girl felt a little guilty, especially when she saw that Jace looked exhausted. Rain didn't mind being silenced. She had a chance to think. Rain kept relivin

"Very unpleasant welcome!" grumbled Rain. "It looks the same!" said Jace. "What?" Rain is very frustrated. "These lockers! Everything is the same. The shape and order of their numbers are nothing special. Are you sure you're here?" Rain released a breath she didn't realize she had been holding in for a long time. "Good!" she said. Rain reached into her coat pocket and pulled out a key from it. "Do you have a key?" Jace couldn't believe it. Standing in one of the lockers, she noticed a scratch on the door. The last time she was there was about five years ago. Rain still remembers that her father left something in the locker before they left for the city to start a new life. "These scratches look like long, continuous claw marks being scratched deeply into the wood. Are you sure this is the cupboard?" "I don't remember. It was five years ago. And when you pointed at the giant gourd, I suddenly remembered this locker." Rain put in the key without thinking, and the locker door op

Suddenly in the middle of the stairs, Jace raised his hand and made a stop motion. Rain couldn't quite see Jace's gesture, but because the man had stopped, she stopped too halfway up the stairs. "What is it?" Rain whispered in fear. "Did you find anything up there?" "I don't know, but I don't feel any demons present at the moment. I don't think there's any trace of them in this old house." Rain took a deep breath. "Then why did you suddenly stop?" "Is there a specific place you want to go? Because there's no way, we can go around all day looking for something we don't even know what it is?" Rain sighed. "Okay. I want to try to see my room." "And where exactly is it?" Asked like that, Rain froze. She had no memory of where her room was or anything that connected it to the house. She only remembered the willow tree in the front yard and that too vaguely. Before they could go any further towards the top floor, suddenly, the door on the ground floor where they had entered creaked.

Another black-winged creature swooped down on Jace out of nowhere. This creature looks like a woman's figure, black hair is tied to the top of her head, and her biceps are lined with rugged iron. "What kind of monsters are these?" Jace thought. Erica and Randall stepped in front of Jace to protect him. However, the creature's target was not the prince. The beast came to capture the dark forces of the prince's guard. "That black-winged creature came to hunt down my troops?" Jace cursed. With one broad movement, the black creature released something like a shimmering web in the air and wrapped Randall and Erica together. The monster knocked Randall and Erica to the ground due to the weight of the metal net. "Silver net?" mumbled Jace. The winged creature dragged Randall and Erica, trapped in the net, along the ground. The monster seemed to be taking steps to lift them into the sky. Jace didn't hesitate. There is a time to act quietly, and there is a time to go on the offensive.

"What happened? What creatures are they? And where did they come from? What for?" Rain kept asking Jace. She demanded as detailed an answer as possible. "Do you see my hands, face, and body?" "What do you mean they came from your body?" Jace was annoyed. "See these black tendrils that resemble tattoos? All over my skin?" "Okay? Then?" "Yeah, these are cursed runes. The creatures that just caught you and flew like half-bird humans were also humans. They turned into that because of the same cursed rune. Did you notice the black color all over their bodies?" Rain is stunned. "So… they turned into monsters? Did that happen to you too, Jace?" Jace shrugged his shoulders. "The difference is, I can control some of my power because of the magic roses in Darkwood. Those who just caught you can't do it. They were completely controlled by something or someone who inscribed those cursed runes onto their bodies and souls." Jace continued. "The runes are excruciating. People who are marked

Adaline returned to the living room with a tray of tea and cookies that had just been removed from the oven. The tea and cookies were even still steaming warm. But, as soon as she passed the curtain of shells, the tray of tea and cookies fell to the floor. Adaline, who originally had a smiling face, suddenly pursed her lips tightly. She got furious. The living room of the house is empty. Jace and Rain had left without saying a word. "You won't be able to get away with it!" Adaline growled furiously. Suddenly, black runes were all over her skin, turning her body into a terrifying monster. Rain and Jace had already made their way back to town. They went to the address where Mr Orwell's apartment was located. They were standing in front of a small brown row house. Mr Orwell's apartment was near the other row houses lining St. Marie Ann. A sharp breeze blew against their faces and shook the sign on the post box near the steps. Jace read the print aloud, "The Orwells' Home." Jace

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
Fated to the Beast 111| Jace Taken Away
"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
