With a speed that stunned Rain, Franco disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Is that how he disappeared before?" Rain muttered. "There's absolutely no sign of dust to indicate where he might have stepped."

No one answered Rain's curiosity. Jace was moving. He ran towards the arch that opened into the wall. Rain couldn't see anything but the beams of light that Jace carried. Rain didn't understand what it was. The light is like a lantern, but it is yellowish-green and glows.

Rain followed Jace's footsteps through the yellowish-green light source; she went through the same arch. There appeared to be a large ballroom. The rubble of the floor was made of the same white marble and was cracked. Winding balconies run along the walls. The fence is covered with orange-red rust.

Rain took another closer look at the room. There was a gold-framed mirror hanging crossed between the balconies. Each mirror is crowned by a gilded pinch head. Cobwebs also hovered in the air covering everything they

    The young man Rain had met in the elevator was now standing opposite Jace. Meanwhile, another wolf pierced through the crowd to stand next to the young man. This newly arrived wolf transformed into a brown-skinned girl with dark red hair. She wore a short leather skirt. "Ethan, they have violated our territory," said the female werewolf, who looked very possessive at the young man named Ethan. "They are already outside the territory of the Darkwood Kingdom. Let's kill them. They have killed many of us, and now they encroach on our territory." Rain gulped, hearing the werewolf girl's words. "I don't know what the history is, but every time they enter the Darkwood forest, these wolves always seem to hate humans and all creatures other than their group." Jace didn't flinch at all. He pressed the tip of his black bone dagger against Franco's neck. "Which one of you is in charge of this place? Is that you?" Jace challenged Ethan, who was standing in front of him. Jace's voice was flat

    "Where did you hear that from?" Jace repeated his question. Franco frowned disdainfully. "All the inhabitants of the underworld know that. Mayor Flynn has paid a warlock to create a new band of rippers. These rippers are assigned to hunt down the witch. They want to get the witch. When they find her, there will be no more false peace between us. There is only war. No law will prevent me from ripping out your heart and throwing it into the streets, you greedy damned human! You guys are trying to control us—underground creatures?" That was enough for Rain. She ran towards one of the rooms where the growl was coming from. She pushed Cammile aside, blocking her path, and snatched the keys from Ethan's hands. They were all so busy listening to Franco's lecture that they didn't realize what Rain was doing. Rain ran into a dark room with only a few dim light sources from outside. In the darkest corner of the room, Rain heard the clatter of chains being dragged along with the roar of a lou

    "This is a stupid hope!" thought Rain. "Why would I expect Benjamin to come to my aid and think he was part of a pack of wolves? Benjamin is just a mortal. He's currently a wolf because of the alcohol magic he's cast." Rain looked at Jace, who continued to struggle. "I just need to rely on my own strength," Rain muttered as she fumbled for the dagger she kept under her skirt. She gripped the base of the blade very firmly. It felt cold and foreign. "Jace, I'm sorry if I can only be your burden!" Rain said to Jace as if it was their last goodbye. Rain pulled out the dagger and lifted it with trembling hands. The window exploded into a rain of broken glass. Rain screamed. The girl looked at the wolves who were arm's length from her, and Jace turned around in surprise. Shock and horror mixed on their faces. Through the broken window entered a dozen forms as dark as night. They were in the form of shadows and moved silently. They lunged through the blown-out windows. Their eyes were a

    Rain thrashed and kicked empty air. She was trying to get away from anyone who wanted to attack her. She thought it was on the roof. It was just another room with a massive hole in the wall. The wind that brought cold air rushed through the gaping hole with great force. "Hey, calm down, it's me! Rain, calm down. It's me, Benjamin." Upon hearing Ben's voice, the girl suddenly relaxed and turned around. It's not imaginary. Benjamin was indeed there and had returned to his standard human form. Rain was very relieved. She reached out and touched Benjamin's cheek. Rain also checked every part of Benjamin's body. She had to make sure there wasn't even an inch of Ben's body that didn't return to normal. "You're back as before? Your feathers are gone! Look, your long muzzle isn't there either!" Rain squealed with joy like a child getting a surprise. Rain could not think because she was so excited. But Benjamin's reaction was not as happy as Rain's. The young man looked gloomy for someone

    Rain noticed a strange behaviour in Benjamin. The man suddenly knelt down and bowed at Rain's feet like a cat lying down lazily. In the next second, everything happened so fast. Ben's body suddenly disappears or changes and is replaced by a vast bluish-grey wolf. Rain backed away in fear. I was so shocked, Rain sat down, and her butt landed on the floor hard. Rain was still backing down while crawling with both hands behind her back. Rain felt betrayed. The grey wolf looked at Rain with a pair of gentle eyes. Rain didn't feel any threat from the wolf's figure. Instead, her eyes reflected warmth. Nothing but Benjamin's voice seemed to speak to Rain through her head. "Don't be afraid. It's me. I won't hurt you, Rain. Get on my back, and we'll jump from here." Rain shook her head, trying to get the voices out of her mind. No matter how hard she convinced herself that it was all an illusion, the wolf was really there before her eyes. The wolf brought its muzzle closer to Rain. The g

    "You have endangered others with your stubbornness. This one incident, I will not let you go again like that!" shouted a beautiful woman whose face was almost similar to Ben's. The woman intercepted the arrival of Ben and Rain. They had just returned to a luxurious house on the outskirts of the famous Westlake Lake. Their bodies were covered in wounds and bleeding. "I didn't mean to do that, Mom," Ben said. Rain was confused. She glances at Ben, who doesn't tell her anything about their plans to meet Ben's parents. "I can't run away from home this time. You're right. I shouldn't even come back to this house but have to hunt and chase them." "Benjamin Flynn!" shouted the mother, then sighed. "If only physical pain could hold you back, but you'll be spending the next few days in the infirmary." "Benjamin Flynn?" Rain repeated while looking at Ben sharply. "You're Mayor Flynn's son?" Rain almost backed away in fright. Noticing Rain's change in attitude, Ben's mother suddenly became

    "You want to sleep here?" Rain asked Ben with a slight frown on her face. "I don't think so, Ben. If your parents find out, they will definitely think something else about our relationship." "I hope there really is something between us," Ben said softly, barely audible to Rain. "What? You said something?" Benjamin sat up straight and exhaled heavily. "Okay, while we have some alone time which we don't have very often these days. How about we do something else? That is if you're not sleepy." "Something else? What's that? Does this have anything to do with what you want to tell me about the truth about Jace Dauntess? And the truth about who you are?" "Oh, come on, Rain!" Ben raised his hands in exasperation. "I will definitely tell you, but not now. Look at our current performance; it's very chaotic. How about you give me a few minutes to get dressed properly? Because I wanted to give you something—a surprise that I hope you like." Rain pursed her lips. "Not after so many things ha

    The dragon flew away and grumbled. Jace waved cheerfully at him even though his face was ashen and his body weak. Jace walks escorted by the forces of darkness. They went to the City of Darkness to meet West and his siblings. After facing an attack by the werewolves at the memory plaza and losing Rain in plain sight, Jace becomes very weak.

How many years will Jace live to protect the Darkwood Kingdom and its entire bloodline, if any?

And will the people of Darkwood accept Jace, or will the people in time think that Jace is not normal? Those thoughts kept filling Jac

    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? The last time I saw

    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
