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.

WHO SAID THIS IS ALPHA'S WOLF?

The Welby family stood on the second floor of their house, still confused. Only Mr Welby knew what he was doing. They all stared at one of the paintings in the hallway- a painting of a big black wolf with obsidian eyes and electric blue streaks staring right back at them under a full moon.

It was the same painting that held Ruth captive and mesmerized when she saw it for the first time.

"Father?" Rees still hadn't understood what his father meant by that painting.

"Do you know the story behind this painting?" Mr Welby asked, staring at it with moistened eyes though his face remained stoic.

"One day you came home with this painting. When I asked you about it, you only said that this is the gift." Mrs Welby said, recalling that day.

"Yes, this was a gift. A gift from Lord Walter."

Thea and Rees looked shocked at the elder man.
