Mona stopped her heels as well. She frowned and sighed, “Nothing.”“Then why are you following me?” Starvos questioned lightly but his eyes were threatening that had her to gulp. “I just want to ask you one thing,” Mona then said which had Starvos to raise his eyebrows. “So you are telling me nothing but then ask me a question?” Starvos rolled his eyes and scoffed, “Then tell me what you have to ask me for.” Mona hesitated she then suddenly snapped her eyes to the left that alerted Starvos who also darted his eyes to the left only to find someone running away. From the clothing, he could tell the person wasn’t a servant but rather a trespasser.“You can ask me later,” Starvos then hopped toward the window frame. “Wait!” Mona was alarmed seeing him jump to the window frame as though it was nothing. She held her hands to his arm from the back only able to touch him a little as Starvos had jumped down from the third floor to the ground, arriving in both feet. His eyes looked only to
As she walked closer to the side of the bed, Rose admired the peaceful face of Dominic. She the hummed as a question suddenly appear in her mind. While looking at Mona she questioned, “Will there be a side effect?” “Not at all. It’s not magic either so you don’t need to worry about anything as long as it is successful. Instead, we have to worry about the fact of whether your man could be hypnotize or not,” Mona settled her hand under her chin.“What happen if he couldn’t be hypnotize…?” Rose asked as the worse possible case should be them not being able to see the past from Dominic’s head but it appeared that Mona was hiding another fact.“Well he would remember that you and I both enter his room very late at night, doing something odd that he doesn’t know of. Of course, he wouldn’t suspect you for trying to kill him but our friendship would be found out,” commented Mona. Rose lips gaped, “You could have said this before we planned for it..”Mona chuckle, “We don’t have time so I do
Through the eyes of the black cat was Rose. She was the one who had turned into a black cat as per Mona’s hypnosis which allow her to look into the past that Dominic experienced. Prior to her entering his mind, Mona held the pendulum across her eyes. She could hear Mona’s voice as her consciousness slowly drifted away, “Just look into his past, you don’t have to do anything.” Now, she witnessed the time when Lady Elizabeth had fought with Duke Jeremiah. The man appeared to be relaxed while Lady Elizabeth appeared to be on her toes, seemingly angered and disappointed by him.So it was true… Dominic isn’t the Duke’s son. She turned her eyes back to her beloved lover who was still too young to receive such a shock and appeared to have his world broken apart upon hearing what his mother had said. “So you want him to live without a father? Just like him?” Jeremiah jabbed the sore spot in Elizabeth’s heart as her eyes widened in anger. For a moment Rose could see the golden glow from he
Rose’s eyes widened. Medicine? This was his medicine? She stared at the odd pill that gave her a mix feeling even just by staring at it. She still remembered there was a time during her lesson with Starvos of him reminding her that werewolves are generally stronger than human. Whether it’s their physic and their immune body. This caused them to be healthy even if the humans around them are infected with an illness. They don’t even get fever when season change or flu from allergies. Dominic, who was born a dominant werewolf shouldn’t be experiencing any illness either as a child when he was supposed to be much healthier than anyone in his peers. “I don’t know what I’m sick of either, so you can’t ask me what medicine it is, kitty cat,” Dominic whispered, holding Rose in a hug as he flopped down to the bed behind him. “Mother told me that I shouldn’t go out and that my illness will get worse if I ever step out like today. So keep a secret that I saw them fighting, alright?” Rose sa
Rose knew something was off with the way Lady Elizabeth had acted today out of the every other day. Before she would burst into anger seeing Duke Jeremiah which was understandable as the man inquire nothing but anger when you look at his face and his words that were always poisonous. Dominic also noticed that there was something odd with his mother’s “I love you.” He loved how his mother would say that to him before his sleep or when he wake up in the morning. But today there was that odd expression from his mother that the adult Dominic would describe as hopelessness… They went back to their room where Dominic quickly opened the door for his mother. He happily went to the table, hopping to open the book that his mother had bought last week. Lady Elizabeth looked at Dominic lovingly when she walked in front of him toward the cupboard. Taking some papers, she sat down and wrote down her words with the beautiful cursive letters. Dominic curiously peeked over what his mother wrote bu
Dominic felt as though he had traveled back into his past. When he woke up, he didn’t feel a sense of discomfort rather, he felt as though he had gone to the time where he felt the most childlike, filled with wonder and love. As well as sorrow and regret.He stared at the ceiling, wondering what he had dreamt about that made his heart to feel so calm and filled with happiness. He then turned his face, finding the beautiful girl who had curled to his side with her green eyes closed. He looked at her, admiring her face and her features that were so lovely to him. He loved Rose like how he had loved himself, no, maybe even more than himself. He said that because he didn’t care if he was going to die, knowing that if he die, he would maybe feel at peace but if Rose was gone, he know how the pain would feel even worse than death itself. He reached out his hand to the side of her face, caressing down her skin as though he was trying to make a trail from her skin.Rose can’t help but ope
Dominic chuckled happily, hugging her even tighter. The words she said was more than he deserve. She was the love he wanted, the love that god had given to him as a treasure for all his misfortune. Rose then pushed herself from the bed. Stretching her back, he watched as light shine over the corners of her face, bringing alive her angelic features to life."Should we get up?" Rose asked for him to push himself from the bed to sit. Leaning forward he kissed her lips in a peck before taking her lower lips in a smooch. "We should. We don't want you to get hungry don't we?" As they got downstairs, lady Catherine looked happier than ever today. Curious, Rose came to the woman and smiled, "You look very happy, grandmother." "Oh of course! I just heard a great news!" Said lady Catherine. Dominic turned his face to lord Salemn, his grandfather, wondering what was it that had made his grandmother so delighted and in joy. Lord Salemn didn't reply and instead answered with a rub of his che
Rose blinked from Starvos' request. Truthfully she didn't expect him to come with them back to Essex, thus why she didn't expect him to ask about the castle of the duchy and the people in it. But it was only correct for him to ask as it was the place where Lady Elizabeth was threatened. She wondered if she should tell him about why Lady Elizabeth decided to stay in Essex and that she had never ran away from him but because she was trying to protect Dominic. But how should she explained this to him? Without revealing the fact she had read Dominic's past was there a way for her to tell him of what had truly happened?"Did she also died in the castle?" Starvos then asked, startling her. Rose nodded her head and responded, "On the third floor in the East room.""I would like to visit there," Starvos relied his emotion sincerely. "What about the people in it? Who hurt her?"The first was one obvious, "Lord Jeremiah, and his second wife who would always try to kill Dominic no matter what
The guests had filled the entrance of the castle faster than how a fire would spread. Colors filled the white walls as not a single place inside was missed from being decorated. Some of the guests gladly greeted Dominic and his wife, Rose. They had acknowledge her soon and even called Dominic “duke”. As soon after the incident, Dominic ruled out is father’s death and take over the duchy, being the new ruler of his fief. “Congratulation on your marriage, I apologize for being late with my words of happiness, Duke Dominic,” said one of the guest, Mr. Hanggs. “It’s nice to see you too, madam Rose.”“Pleasure to meet you,” Rose greeted the man’s words back. “How is the land now to you, Mr. Hanggs?” Dominic asked the wise man who seemed to be quiet. “It does feel different now. I gradually found people who could suddenly fill empty barrel with water as miracle instead of fearing them. I’m also glad to see how wise our King is as he had rooted off all the corrupted royals. Now Essex fee
The ground shook and the impact of the explosion launched both Dominic and Rose backward. When Rose couldn’t hold him tighter anymore, she almost slipped from his back and fell. Seeing that, Dominic changed to his human form, capturing her body even though he was on air and shielded her in a tight hug as they roll down across the cold floor with a harsh thud. Both Shawn and Gallahan was thrown backward. They tried to nail their feet on the floor to no avail as the extreme explosion would had destroyed the entire land if not because of the shield that Gallahan had perfected for years from his life. The entire world turn black for a moment and by the time it turn brighter again, Shawn saw Gallahan who had sprawled across the floor and Balbazor who had been reduced into a scorched human corpse. Even after that however, Balbazor didn’t stop moving. He crawled with his body like a snake, disregarding how his fingers had been turned into ash. No one could ever see his features anymore, o
Gallahan faced off Balbazor alone. It was a crazy feat to not even die after receiving the harmful attack that was made to eradicate humans and Gallahan’s performance so far have shocked everyone including Balbazor himself. “You are agile,” commented Balbazor. “But if this tentacles weren’t around me, I would have destroyed you in seconds by now.” “Making excuses now? When you killed my family with your curse, you were extremely silent. I’ll put that mouth of yours to rest too,” Gallahan quirked a smirked, urging anger and fuming Balbazor. The ancient demon opened his mouth again but this time, Gallahan had a smarter option. Rather than shielding himself, he rushed forward. Balbazor smiled, thinking how foolish this human is for coming on to him face to face but he was startled as he saw Gallahan had dodged his previous explosion attack. This time, Gallahan murmured a spell and a sharp blue light appeared from his hand which went straight directly to Balbazor’s thick neck. The an
“Brother, are we not related?” Young Shawn’s voice echoed against his ears. Dominic looked down at the child that had overheard the conversation of the adult. Gently he wrapped his fingers around his brother’s little ones and gave him a gentle smile, “Does it matter? Nothing will change even if we aren’t related, you will always be my brother.”Back to the present, Dominic found himself yelling at Shawn’s name as Balbazor had thrown a powerful magic at them. Rose’s eyes snapped open, showing the glistening green eyes of her had changed into purple. At the same time she uttered her spell, the wall broke. Dominic took no chance. He jumped from the staircase, landing down his two feet as a wolf and ran after Shawn. Surprisingly, Gallahan had stood in front of Shawn, shielding them both from the explosion. “I told you to stay away child!” Gallahan yelled to Rose who had rebuilt the wall.“I can help you ease the miasma,” she said, convincing the man only to see him frowning in disagre
When Dominic and Rose arrived at the foot of the door, they found that the glow of purple light had stopped and was quickly greeted by the roar of a monster. “It’s Balbazor, the ancient demon,” Rose explained, jumping down from his body. Dominic shook off his fur and turned into his human form, standing right beside her fully clothed. Although there are other pressing matter she couldn’t help and pointed out, “You can be clothed now?” “Hm?” Dominic looked down on himself, “Right I got taught by the other werewolves how to do that the last time we met.” Rose smiled, thinking how surely the relationship between him and his father had evolved into something closer where they could teach and talk to each other eye to eye. Seeing the progress, she felt moved. “Well what is with this Balbazor?” Dominic pushed the door open for her, they both entering the mansion only to feel the ground beneath them shaking. “He is the ancient demon who had formed contract with the first sorceress. She
Gallahan wasn’t daunted by the fact that Balbazor was more than fifth fold of him, looking even bigger and monstrous. Shawn could feel that demon had no pity or hesitation on him, willingly killing anyone who stood on his way. For a moment Shawn questioned how he could ever kill this monstrous being in front of him, finding it abhorrent that his entire instinct yelled that killing it would be close to impossible. Even coming near the monster he could feel the brimming heat that would burn his skin. “Shawn,” Gallahan called his attention to make sure the younger man wouldn’t feel daunted and eaten alive by his own fear. Shawn then watched Gallahan who in comparison seemed to be eagerly waiting for this chance to come his hand. It was something he had been waiting for a long time… finally he could avenge the death of his family who all ended due this demon’s twisted curse! “I want to kill you, you won’t even believe how much I have been looking forward to this day. My heart is beati
Dominic’s silver eyes also noticed the swirl of purple glow from the black mansion and turned his head again to the view before him. “What did you and the Master talked about?” Inquired Dominic while they run through the forest. “I told him that I will do something about the demon inside Isaac if he could help me end my curse but then he surprised me by saying that he doesn’t need help.” Rose responded. “I trust him.” “I do think he is someone who wouldn’t hurt his fellow sorcerer, you weren’t wrong in trusting him,” Dominic encouraged her. “But that sound too good to be true. He always ask people for payment if he help them.” “He did ask for something, he said to continue fooling my demon, Babylion,” uttered Rose. “I asked him why and he told me so he could use Babylion to kill that ancient demon in response.”“So this entire charade is because of him.” Dominic narrowed his eyes. They can’t seem to trust the Master completely, that man would do anything if it means to fulfil his
Shawn’s eyebrows furrowed as he saw a bright purple glow appearing from the room where the master and Isaac had fought in. As the master’s hand had been touched, Isaac had fulfilled his promise to erase the curse that plagued the Master. This should have call for a celebration regardless of the Master’s wish of never leaving the cave. But by fulfilling Isaac’s promise, the demon in him finally demanded for his reward and that reward was… for him to manifest into the world inside his body!When something suddenly clicked in his mind, Shawn bubbled out of anger.“Damn it! Damn it!” Shawn yelled, finally realizing the big mistake that he made by trusting that damn sorcerer king! He rushed out of the room, questioning everything that the sorcerer had done. He first of told him to imbue his magic on the crystal ball as if doing that would help. He said that by calming Isaac, he could convince him to drive out the demon inside. He also claimed that he wouldn’t kill Isaac thus why he had
Rose could feel the dark magic that entered her skin, crawling in such a disgusting way that she wanted to hurl but she couldn’t. There was something that was stopping her from moving and she couldn’t understand it as it felt slightly different when compared to the demonic magic that he uses on her. “Rose, make my life more colorful, won’t you?” Whispered Babylion. “Now go and betray your beloved. I want to see his face twisting in pain. From your memories, he seemed to the most fun to mess with.” Rose wanted to say no, she wanted to yell and disagree with Babylion’s words but she couldn’t move. She then had the sudden idea to play by what Babylion wanted and nodded her head slowly, agreeing that she would betray Dominic while her eyes turning unfocused, looking exactly similar as to someone who had just been bewitched.“Good, now play with me.” Back to the present, Rose run through her thins hands between her hair and pushed the golden locks to the back of her head, she sighed hea
