Rose shrieked when she felt the pull sucking her hand deeper to the bushes. She tried to get away but the hand that pulled her in was much more stronger than she could handle.

As Rose tried to find a way to release her hand, a voice appeared next to her ears, "Leave! Leave this place now!"

Rose's eyes snapped open. On her front was the wooden ceiling of her bed. Her heart was still racing and her consciousness was muddled in confusion between reality and her nightmare.

She pushed herself from the bed weakly. Her hands, even down to her feet was trembling like a newborn deer. Rose placed her hand over her chest, feeling her loud heartbeat.

What was that dream?! She knew she had been unsettled for the past few days. Her surrounding was different from her usual home, there was a woman who warned her to leave Dominic in an underlaying threat, and last was Dominic's story about his mother.

Rose looked at her surrounding. The silence was painfully stinging. Now she understood what kind of l

Beside the table was a freshly painted portrait placed next to the table. The painting only had the base color placed in them, letting Rose to only view the silhouette of what the woman had painted. She wondered if it was a large castle but upon a closer look, Rose saw a silhouette of a large bear-like creature and humans around it that was trying to subdue the creature."I had been wondering where did you two went last time," Lady Ashley spoke out.Rose's eyes narrowed, she can't help and asked, "I think everyone in the castle knows where we went."As she had guessed, the woman's expression turned to surprise, staring at her as if she couldn't believe the words had come from her mouth."Everything inside the castle is hard to keep as a secret," Lady Ashley offe

    Dominic pulled out his sword from the body of his enemy. Blood. The heavy, nauseating stench of rusty iron fragrance of blood filled his nose. Having a sharp sense of smell backfired him at this kind of situation where the smell of blood would churn his stomach. But that would happen only in the past, when he was younger."They have been more and more persistent to kill you since you left the castle," Cain stated. This was the eighteen attack coming after Dominic's life once they took off from the castle.Dominic was barely concerned about the amount of people coming from his life as he knew there was only one person behind the whole attack. It won't end until he take off the root of his problem which he would promise to do soon enough.Dominic's eyes moved from the body on the floor toward the forest behind them. Stepping on the body, he made his way to the entrance of the forest which was covered with heavy fogs. As though the darkness was not enough to hinder his sight, there was a

    Continuing his investigation, Dominic still couldn't make it through the fog. His group had went inside the forest only for it to bring them back outside of the forest as though they had never stepped inside.On the third day, Cain proposed, "Perhaps we should take down the whole forest."Dominic weighed on the idea. He didn't mind destroying the forest if it was the way to enter through but he had a feeling that the fog didn't start out normally and cutting off the trees will not help as their solution."No," Dominic hummed, "It doesn't seem like we would be able to enter the forest any time soon. Let's go back to the castle."Cain was taken aback to the point his eyes widened from his socket, "Go back? But we haven't found anything?" Cain had been beside Dominic since his master was young as they were the same age, they went through the same moment throughout their teens. He knew Dominic better than most people in the castle, perhaps the second next to his cousin Veronica.Dominic w

She knew now Lady Ashley is capable to kill her, take her life. But she was more worried that she won't be able to warn Dominic of the vicious plan that his step mother had planned.

    Dominic brought her outside of the castle, standing in a place where there were less people roaming around. Dominic looked at her face that was colored in worries and smiled, "Do you think one day, I would turn into a danger to you?"Rose's eyes widened and immediately she shook her head, "I wasn't worried about that. It's Lady Ashley, she wants to kill you."To her surprise, Dominic only raised his shoulder before bringing them back down. There was no surprise on his face, "You knew about this?" She asked."I don't know the exact time when she want to kill me but this is not the first time that it would surprise me. Instead, it would be surprising if she didn't plan to kill me," Dominic replied in ease.Rose was at loss of words, "Is that why?"

He held Rose's hand naturally and looked aside to her older sister who unlike her sweet smell held a deep rotten scent, making his nose to wince at the sharp stinky fragrance.

Her voice was filled with happiness as she went to hug her sister.Josie's hand was spread on air as Rose went to hug her. His arm remained on the air as she didn't returned her sister's hug.

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.

    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.

    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
