Sitting across from each other and separated by a wooden table, Ryn and Walter looked quite serious. It is time for all to be revealed. Ryn must hear the story—the dark story—about her family that happened years ago."Before I tell you everything, would you mind telling me about your nightmare?" Walter said this without shifting his gaze.Ryn licked her lips and took a deep breath. It was hard for Ryn to tell him about the dream without getting goosebumps. It was so horrible. Indeed! And even just thinking about it, her heartbeat was racing."If you can't—""I will do it," Ryn interrupted. The girl took a deep breath to convince herself she could do it."Are you sure? I know this is hard for you. I won't be too pushy if you can't do it," Walter said."I’m sure I can do it." Ryn nodded confidently. The girl briefly paused her words as she summoned the courage to dive into the nightmare that haunted her every night. "I hid behind a giant white oak tree. There was a house with a large ya
'Is this the reason why God sent my soul to Wolfspring? To avenge the death of her family?' Ryn thought.She sat in front of the mirror, looking at the reflection of the sad-eyed face staring back at her."Talk to me, Ryn! Is this what you wanted? Do you want me to take your revenge?" She asked.Ryn waited for the reflection to answer her question for some time. But she felt even more foolish the longer she waited. She was not the Evil Queen sitting in front of her magic mirror anyway."This is ridiculous." the girl snorted and got up.Ryn turned around and walked toward the bed. Then a voice was heard calling her name, making her steps stop. Ryn turned her head and looked around."Who's there?" the girl asked.She turned vigilantly."Who's talking?" she asked again, to no one in particular."I'm here, Ryn," replied a voice.The girl traced where the voice came from, and her gaze lingered on the mirror she had left behind. She was shocked to see her reflection still there, sitting on
The grudge had set the soul on fire. Every second that passed was making her even more vengeful. The girl trained very hard. She put everything she had into beating down her opponents. She was unstoppable. Every attack she made sent her opponents reeling in pain. "Come on! I need more powerful opponents! Shift!" shouted Ryn after defeating her third opponent in this training session. Fighting them as humans did not satisfy her. Three times, Ryn had beaten her opponent. "Not this time, Ryn. You won't have a chance against us if we shift," Lance refused. "Don't be a chickenshit! Are you afraid I'll beat you?" taunted Ryn. "Enough!" Walter's voice distracted Ryn and Lance. Walter watched from a distance as Ryn began to lose control. This would not be good for Ryn or her training partner. Walter walked up to the girl with a barely readable expression. "Ah, what a coincidence you came," Ryn said with an intent smile at him. The girl set a stance in the next second and was ready to at
Even if it came as a wolf, Merry would not fail to recognize who was there. A dashing wolf with gray fur and piercing red eyes was the ruthless Alpha of the entire Wolfspring."Albert!" Merry hissed with a tightened jaw.The woman pulled an arrow and aimed it at the spot between Albert's eyes.The threat did not intimidate Albert. His piercing eyes scanned the wooden houses behind Merry. He had never seen this place before. The area that he thought was uninhabited turned out to be hiding something completely unexpected. The scent of herbs and wolfsbane was so strong that it pierced the sense of smell. Whatever it was, Albert was very sure that this woman was not just any woman. There was something about this place. Something that made Albert feel like his strength weaker by the minute.'Who exactly are these people?" Albert thought to himself."Back off! This place isn't where you're supposed to be!" ordered Merry.A little movement Albert m
Jayden paced in front of the observation room. Inside his head, questions kept swirling about who might have attacked Albert with the poison. Then he found one possible suspect, Ryn. "Why did he go there alone?" Jayden muttered. He knew Albert had gone alone to Wolfsbane Hill because he didn't want to put his pack members at risk. However, who would have thought that he would harm himself? "Whoever she is, that girl is very dangerous," he monologued. The observation room door opened not long after. Mike came out and shook his head slowly. His face showed that the examination results were not as expected. "How is he?" asked Jayden as he approached the doctor. Mike gestured for Jayden to sit on the waiting chair. He took off his medical mask and sighed. " His heartbeats are getting weaker. The poison is spreading fast, and there's not much I can do until we figure out what the poison is. We still have to wait for the laboratory t
"This poison is trying to kill him. Look, it doesn't take more than three hours, and the poison looks like it's going to burst his veins," Mike said as he pointed to the veins in Albert's hand that were turning blue. The doctor's words snapped Judith out of her reverie. She took a breath and let it out slowly. She then smiled as the corners of her eyes crinkled. Then she said, "Give me a syringe. I hope my potion will buy you some time until you get the antidote." "Just a second," Mike said. He left Judith and Albert in the room. Judith swung her legs slowly, shifting positions to get closer to look at Albert's face. She locked her eyes on the Alpha's pale face. She reached out as if to touch that face. "Albert Dexter, the strongest and ruthless Alpha in Wolfspring." Behind her medical mask, the corners of Judith's lips lifted slightly. "No power is eternal, Alpha," she continued in a low voice. The door opened just as Judith finished her sentence. She turned back and saw Mike on
Walter understood what she meant from the way Merry looked at him. Merry did not want to talk about this with Lance and Ryn. And it seemed that what had happened was what he had thought. Walter reached out to her wound."How bad is it?" Walter asked."Just a claw wound. He lunged at me. Luckily, Ryn came and saved me," Merry replied."Ryn?" asked Walter, to which Merry nodded in reply.There was anxiety in his eyes. It meant that Albert already knew that Ryn lived there, so it could not be ignored. Albert would come back to attack them."Ryn hit him with a wooden block when he was about to tear me apart, but I couldn't avoid this wound," Merry explained while half-raising his injured hand.Walter licked his lips as he sighed softly. He was relieved that Merry was not seriously injured. However, it did not put him at ease, as the threat could come again. He turned his body toward Lance after a while."Tell the others to be on guard until morning!" he ordered.Lance replied with a singl
Ryn's eyelids moved slowly as her ears heard the faint humming. She opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was the refractive light from the window."So, what is it this time?" Lance's voice sounded from the left side of the bed. The man was sitting at the window when he jumped and walked towards the bed. "You have a new hobby of sleeping on the floor, huh?" he asked with one eyebrow raised."Me? What the--" The girl's words trailed off as the memory of the last thing that happened to her last night flashed through her mind. She turned her head quickly toward Lance with widened eyes. "What happened to me?" she asked.Lance opened his jaw with narrowed eyes. The question left him clueless. Ryn's strange behavior was no surprise to him, but this question seemed even more confusing. At first, he thought Ryn had fallen asleep on the floor accidentally. However, the question made Lance think that something had happened to her.The man sat on the edge of the bed with a probing look. "You'
