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.

WITHOUT THE WEREWOLVES!

*A WEEK AGO*

Edwin couldn't help his mind that kept running back to Ruth time and again. He was monitoring her every move closely, especially with the threat of spies roaming Vincardine.

He had that brown cloth again wrapped around his wrist. It helped him to think rationally, and maintain his sanity.

Edwin had his men sent on the trails of those invaders. They had found most of them by now, and the remaining ones should be under his claws soon.

"Master!"

Edwin saw Rees entering his chamber. He nodded at him as an acknowledgement.

"We have found one more of them. And..."

"And?" Edwin arched his brow.

"And he is sent by the Council."

That came as no surprise. Of course, they would do such a thing.

"Barret Addington?"

"We do not know yet if it is his own doing or the Council is involved in it. But we have found some letters at the man's place that have the Council's stamp." Rees informed.

"Hmmm..." Edwin stayed silent for a while. His mind working the calculations.
