We hurried inside another huge building—compared to our clinics, this hospital is too vast! I'm clamping my fingers adhesively on Andrew's sleeve, fast pacing to the emergency room and there we found Ruth and Manjiro. Both of them are flushing and pale. Manjiro meets me in advance and asks, "Dandeline, what's going on with Linly?" "Why are you asking me? I just arrived. What happened beforehand?" "She fainted out of the blue," Ruth reports. "We were just talking in the living room when she turned pale, then her pulse was gone. The doctor said she was dead on arrival. They can't state their findings as of now. She just... suddenly... passed away." "That horror show... It was all because of that!" Manjiro blames. "What!?" Andrew blurts out. "You should've told me she can't handle it! I have collections of superhero movies!" "Absurd." I touch both sides of Manjiro's cheeks to calm him down. "You're well aware she was born dead. Her life depends on the Moon Goddess. But now that the
We've planned everything for a week. Ruth has been beautifying my face for an hour already. And I am impatiently following her instructions—even though I stay in one position—ever since she trimmed my eyebrows. I've never done it to myself! All I can do on this occasion is to trust their trend. She lends me a seat in front of the mirror when she's done. Then all my frustrations convert into guilt. I carefully tap my cheeks. "Ruth... what have you done to my face!?" "It's our make-up trend. Don't you like it?" "I absolutely love it! You're so talented!" I rewarded her with praise. She perfectly shaped my eyebrows, the color of my lips is feminine, and the overall make-up matches my skin; resulting in as a humble doll. Plus, my hair is straightened, that's how I realized the length reaches my waist. I almost feel like staring at my reflection and seeing someone else. "I'd like to stay like this forever." "No, ma'am. That will itch your skin," she warns. The perfume she sprays on m
He's such a blusterous maniac! There's a reserved room on the top floor exclusively for us where we can have our private coitus. But he's too aggressive, my arms are stuck in his clenches while shoving and kissing me on the door. The way he digs my mouth with his tongue suffocates me. I pushed him but his grip remained on my arms, then he dragged me to his bed and pinned my wrists—twisting his lips on top of me. "I knew it, you're worthwhile, lady. Perhaps I shall not return you to your wolf boyfriend and you stay stuck here with me," he said seductively—and absolutely infuriating! "Only a compelled woman will hit on you. Have some hygiene—!" I was in the middle of complaining when he sucked my lips with kisses again! Not minding the stain of my red lips on his. Or maybe I just dislike the smell of this man, far from being better than the smell of my mate. Moreover, there's something intriguing about the smell of his bed: it smells like sea salt! He tears the sleeves of my dress a
I stood in front of them. "This is what you want, no?" "How brave of you, lady. I bet you've accomplished what you need in my spellbook, so no, I came here for something better," he said, jingling my high heels hanging on his fingers. "To claim you other than the spellbook." I sighed hard. "If you want to play death with me, job well done! You're already killing me in cringe!" I throw his spellbook at him and he catches it. "Let Andrew go!" I demanded. Ruth and the maids have been weeping for him. "I'm sorry, granny... They f-forced me to reveal your whereabouts... and this h-house. I'll make sure to... to fire them!" Andrew confesses. Then Afvshaganifs presses the gun on his head. Ruth's scream is even louder and furious. But it changed nothing to save Andrew as Afvshaganifs triggers his gun and murdered Andrew instantly! The pirates surrounding the surrendered maids including Manjiro murdered them all by ax! I was ready to blast an enchantment against them when their captain to
We've gathered in the living room surrounding the sleeping captain. The maids are serving us hot chocolate drinks and for themselves too. Everyone is sleepless. While Andrew is relentless with his servants' welfare, I can sense his humbleness. He says, "They could've been traumatized. It will be better for all if they take a day off once you return to your timeline." "It will be better for Ruth if you tell her what happened to you," I replied. "Right! I was on my way home when Avi and his minions ambushed my car. They beat me several times until I mentioned your house. They took me along to prove my words and that's when I called on the phone." "And you told me that Afvshaganifs is your friend?" "Yes, he can still be my friend once he redeems himself. But for real, I don't want to die twice. Once is enough. Death is too painful if you're fighting for nothing." "In actuality, we only die once. But once you can die twice, fear shall fear you similar to this scumbag." I partia
I can see what she can see and it's inside my old house—the exact date where we left. I made her fly around the house but Haiban is not around. The blizzard has frozen and darkened the whole city. The previous destruction is still evident anywhere Acro looks. I saw the dreadful situation on the ground; dead wolves, a heap of snow, a frozen lake, and a total mess. Landing on a roof to see the previous battlefield of two Alphas with Haiban, I am greatly dismayed to see their lifeless bodies partially covered with snow. Acro flies high again to the castle, that's where I found Haiban killing the terrified kids inside the castle's first hall. He's not shedding blood but he's taking away their lives by his spellbook. Acro passes by as quick as thunder across Haiban's face, then roosts on a statue, facing Haiban. He's looking at Acro, at me, that's when I speak, "Hey, father," over the telephone. The kids got a chance to escape, when he was about to enchant them, I controlled him like a
"You can see it!?" "You don't?" He unleashes his claws to fight the reaper I cannot see and I do my best to protect my sleepy twins. I've found only a handkerchief in the drawers and this will do. I enchanted it into a bigger cloth like a blanket and covered us underneath it. Hessuel is stronger now against the invisible reaper, he succeeded to kick it away from the room before I called him to cover underneath, too. Then after a few moments of waiting and silence, I lifted the blanket when we teleported safely into the refugees' hall. Lanasia immediately offers assistance to my twins. There's a mattress where her baby is lying. "I leave them to you for the meantime," I said. "Do you have a solution for this catastrophe?" she asks eagerly. "... I have but I can't underestimate Haiban anymore. If we succeed, we can bring back all the lives he had taken away." Zaeramil overheard what I said. "Allow me to help! If there's a chance to save them, I will give you my assistance!" He’s
We came inside the palace with our holding hands. And we found Haiban in the grand staircase, caressing Acro on his arm. He's on his own other than their pet. I presumed what I saw earlier was just an illusion. Also, Haiban is literally waiting for our arrival. "You came back from the future, my child! You're my very first worthy challenger!" he greets. "You came from the future?" my mate asks. I said, "Yes." "Wow... Lots of strange things happened because of my father. Does the future smell like pirates?" "What? That's not important and it's a long story!" I couldn't help but sniff my skin! That lousy pirate schemed this! Haiban is laughing and says, "I would like to hear that story! How did you get back? How do you plan to stop me now? I've already annihilated more than half of the werewolf population." 5 spellbooks appeared around him and he picks one before the other 4 ascend to disappearance. "I have more cards than you think." "Are you trying to say that we're hopeles
