Bright in the morning, Rose had prepared herself to leave the castle. The maids were all frightened of her and the situation in the castle was horribly tense. No one appeared friendly anymore, no servant wanted to smile to her, as if with the arrival of Lord Benjamin, Leon’s uncle, they were torn between which side they should support.Rose had left her room, walking toward the hallways only for her to hear the two maids who were sweeping on the silent hallway chattering intensely. They appeared quite into the conversation that they didn’t notice Rose who had stood near them.“I’m deadly sure Lord Benjamin would support young master Shawn as the next duke. Knowing how powerful Lord Benjamin is and his support, I’m sure it wouldn’t be long before young master Shawn gained more supporter. Meanwhile young master Dominic had no one instead of himself. No family who would support him and his fiancée is a woman who came from a village.”The other maid quickly hushed her as she spoke louder.

The journey to the fog forest took a lot more hours than Rose thought. But she was glad to have the chance to look around the place, enjoying the view of the outside world which was rare for her to see.By the time she had realized it, she had hung her sleepy head on the firm shoulder beside her. Dominic noticed how she was sleepy and smiled. Brushing the small strand of her hair aside, he then settle his head gently on top of hers.A light shake woke Rose from her sleep. She was startled to see they had arrived on the forest and found Dominic sleeping with his hands crossed.For a long moment, Rose took her time to admire his face. It was hard to think there would be someone this handsome in the world. Where his skin was smooth and his features were dominant.“Good?” “Perfect,” she responded, only to be startled by Dominic’s voice and her own quick response. She found his black eyes opened and his lips curling in a grin. Feeing embarrassed, she narrowed her eyes, “You’ve been awake

Dominic turned his face at the lonely forest only to find Rose missing from his eyes. He studied his surrounding first, wondering where she had went, “Rose?” He asked, wondering if she had walked away as she had find a clue.It was somewhat Rose’s bad behavior to disappear and turn tunnel vision whenever she found a clue, but knowing Rose, she would have tug his sleeve a little, coming to his calling when he called for her name.Yet now she’s gone, unable to be found. His panic spread slowly but potently as his head wrapped around her disappearance. He quickly walked away, trying to find Rose while calling for her name only to stop when his feet had stepped at something. Looking down, he noticed he had stepped on a shoes.Bending down, Dominic took the feminine shoes on his hand. One glimpse was enough for him to know it belonged to Rose.His knuckles cracked at the same time Cain had walked up toward him. He shivered as he felt a deep rage oozing from Dominic. His eyes had turned b

His question was met with the same look that Rose received when she asked about the werewolves curse. Andrius who noticed that they were under a misunderstanding immediately spoke up, “You got things mixed up, us being a werewolf is not a curse. If it is, it would mean everyone here is doomed for life.”“We come from a kingdom where everyone is a werewolf,” explained Anna who walked beside her brother Chris, hiding as though she feared Dominic. “Humans are instead a very strange and odd creature for us. If you think that way, if a human was to suddenly appear in our kingdom, they would think themselves as cursed as well.”Dominic frowned and Rose could fee his hand tightening around her. Like how she was before, he was having a hard time to understand it all. It was difficult for him to believe he wasn’t cursed as since he was young he had been doomed by other’s words.“Let’s talk this out inside my house,” said the elderly lady who was walking with a stick toward them.Rose nodded he

Dominic managed to catch one of the mercenary who was sent to kill him. Pulling the human by the collar, his enemy looked at him in terror. He begged, “Please! I promise I would keep my mouth shout of what had happened tonight! And I promise I will— I will—”Dominic simply looked at his eyes, offering his question, “Do you have a family or a lover waiting for you back at home?”The mercenary didn’t think before nodding his head in energy, fearing Dominic will kill him before he could reply.“I do! I do! I have a child and a wife!”Dominic looked at the man for a couple of second and a sigh left his well shaped lips.“Even when you’re in front of days you still lie, don’t you?”Watching how inhuman the change of Dominic’s eye color from black to golden caused the man to scream, leaving his last word unheard as his scream become his last dying words.Cain rushed into the forest side where it was burning. Oddly why he had instructed the men to look around the forest for any traces of Ros
