A MAZE OF GREED

"Don't stop, Ruth. Run, run!" Thea yelled again while moving her hands. Before Edwin turned her around and got a chance to see her face, Ruth pulled her hand up and jabbed his nose. Edwin wailed in pain as he felt his nose go numb with pain. Instinctively he freed Ruth to cover his nose with both hands. He bent over a little as his eyes watered because of pain. "You!" He hissed in anger as he leapt again for Ruth. But she managed to run before he could catch her again. Her head turned around in shock when Edwin's hand tore her dress when he tried to grab her. It also surprised Edwin as he had not intended for this to happen. He looked up from the piece of cloth in his hand to see gorgeous hazel eyes. He stood rooted to his spot as his mind went blank. Ruth managed to get out of the property and ran with Thea without looking back. The guard came panting, but Edwin didn't notice him as his eyes were still trained on the gap in the wall, through which Ruth escaped. He slowly looked at the brown fabric in his hand, and the image of those alluring hazel eyes flashed in his mind. He clutched the fabric tightly in his hand, and the word left his lips in a whisper.

CONFESSING THE CRIME!

"Edwin, are you alright?" Ruth asked, holding his hand in hers.

He only nodded his head without a word, but one could feel the tension guarding around him.

Tears didn't stop from Elsie's eyes as she watched her brother hissing in pain as Ruth treat his wounds.

"B-brother Edwin... I... am sorry!" Elsie sat at his feet and apologised for her behaviour.

He told her to stay away from Lester, but she couldn't hold back and ran to see him. If only she had not let Lester's wolf be aware of his mate's presence, then he wouldn't have attacked Edwin.

Edwin remained silent with a deep scowl on his face. Elsie glanced in Ruth's way, asking for help. Ruth blinked her eyes in assurance.

"Lady Elsie, I think your brother needs some rest. I will take him to his chamber. Please inform us about Lord Lester's condition and..." Ruth faltered as she wanted to warn Elsie about the mistake she had already committed.

Elsie nodded her head in understanding. "I will not go near him."
