Before he came home, Dominic received the small letter sent by Cain using the pigeon. In the letter, it warned how Rose had overheard another of Ashley's plan to kill him.

    Dominic raised his hand, smiling as he saw the fright coloring Ashley's face. He stepped slower and closer to the woman. Ashly who was too scared to move shouted, "Help me! Help me!"Her eyes frantically demand for help from her servants but instead, they flee leaving her behind much to her annoyance. Only the housekeeper wasn't able to move from her place, as if afraid in doing so will only notify Dominic of her presence."Have any words?" Dominic questioned soundly but his eyes were bleak without an emotion or a sound conscience that Ashley could put her trust in."You will never win over me!" Ashley yelled. "You would never!"Without heeding to her words, he continued to walk. Ashley crawled behind while keeping her eyes on him. She refused to look pathetic to her very last moment. Everything she counted on was all for this moment!"Even if I die, no one will accept you!" She threw the words from her mouth urgently, knowing the sore spot on Dominic's heart.

    Rose couldn't describe what she felt. A kiss that she had always heard from the women who experienced their loveliest first time of a kiss, was described to be an otherworldly experience. For sure, that was correct.Dominic's golden eyes entered her vision. She tried to move, overwhelmed and confused but that only led to Dominic holding her waist tighter. His fingers in a snake-like movement slipped to her wrist, taking one to the side and holding them tightly as if to coax her.Her other hand that struggled was pinned and crushed to his chest, allowing her to feel the loud heartbeat of herself and also Dominic's. Feeling the loud pace from his chest, her eyes widened and she looked at him in confusion.Dominic then held the back of her head which fits like a glove, tilting her face to briefly coax her stubborn lips to open up.Dominic grinned when her emerald eyes glazed, "Close your eyes," he instructed.It was too difficult for Rose to refuse what he demanded.

    Rose had questioned Ashley's condition not out of worry for the woman but instead Dominic. She could tell it was him who had attacked Ashley and while the duchy could punish the common folks according to their standards, it wasn't the same treatment for their fellow nobles. Unless a given reason was ruled out, it was a criminal act to murder.The high authorities! Rose had never seen the authorities before, but she knew what kind of people they were. They were the type to only follow their rules and punish those they deem as a criminal into an instant death sentence. Their name could even scare the nobles, knowing most of the death sentence that was ruled out by the kingdom came from them instead of the King and Queen."She was attacked by her most trusted maid," explained Josephine as they walked away from the room and directed themselves to where Lady Ashley was located.A few servants were shocked to see Rose and though they were afraid to let her see the lady, they weren't able to

He then left from the hallways, making his way outside of the castle."He didn't visit the duchess room," whispered the maids, loud enough for Rose to hear without trying."It is as they said, the duchess is never loved by the Duke. Even though she seems to love him a lot, how pitiful," the second maid clicked her tongue.Rose could tell the same thing as the maid said. The Duchess's keen intent on killing Dominic, was it because she didn't want to be removed from the castle?Regardless, the woman knew what she had done and had it coming for her. Although Rose grew up in a world of kindness, she wasn't naive to feel sympathy nor hope for the lady's survival for the woman's best interest.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
