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.

DEEP SECRETS OF THE PAST

Theodora watched her husband pacing back and forth, his hands behind his back, and a deep scowl settled on his face. And at that moment she realised how old he looked.

The death of his mate had finally taken a toll on him, and she could see it. She wondered how strong he still was as a werewolf and how long he could be there to provide her protection, status and power.

That thought also brought up Douglas Morgan in her mind. She was constantly avoiding him after knowing his true colours. Theodora's breath quivered, and her gaze fell to her feet.

Why can't any man love her the way Gerald did? Theodora wished she had known the truth back then. She wished Zerith had dared to go against her father and told her the truth. Maybe then... only then she wouldn't have been feeling this empty within.

Augustus's ears perked up, catching on her quivering breath. His grey eyes darted at her, frowning even further.

"What happened, Theodora? Are you okay?"
