Chapter 36

Meanwhile, Ethan and Jeston together with Samuel were able to leave the Riverdale Forest without encountering any werewolves. They quickly proceeded to the spot where their motorcycle was being parked.

Since Jeston had injured his arm he could not drive. Only Ethan could drive among the three of them. However, Ethan was still thinking about Titania. He was worried that she was still in the forest. It would be a big problem if the werewolves would be able to catch her.

'D@mn! That Brat… she's giving me both a headache and heart attack. I should find her soon.' Ethan told himself.

"Jeston, listen to me. I will drive you until we reach the main road. If we happen to see cars or any vehicles we will ask the driver to hitch with him and drive you to the nearest hospital. After that, I will go back here to find Titania. Besides, Samuel is badly injured, riding a motorcycle with his current condition is not advisable."

Jeston agreed with Ethan's plan. 

"Okay, I understand. I hope you can find Titania soon before something bad can happen to her. But you have to be careful too. If you feel that you can't win against them then you should just forget about Titania. Save yourself first, Dude." Jeston couldn't help but advise him. He didn't want Ethan's life to be put in danger too.

Jeston knew that Ethan was worried sick about Titania though he was currently mad at her for disobeying his order and escaping from them a while ago. Ethan was the first one to ride the motorcycle. Then Jeston guided Samuel and made him sit in the middle, between Ethan and him.

Ethan started the engine and they immediately left the place. It did not take long when they reached the main road. It was already dawn so traveling vehicles were very rare at this hour. They continued their journey until they saw an approaching car.

Jeston waved at the driver inside the car, signaling him to stop. He was glad that the driver listened to him and stopped just a meter away from them. The driver was a middle-aged man, riding his four by four pick-up truck.

"Sir, can we hitch a ride? This is an emergency situation. We are hunters from Hunters Association Academy." Jeston showed him his Hunter Identification Card. He was the one who talked to the driver.

Then he turned to Samuel. "We had an encounter with the werewolves in the Riverdale Forest and my comrade was badly injured. I also injured my arm. Can you bring us to the nearby hospital as soon as possible?"

Upon hearing his explanation, the man didn't hesitate to give them a ride. He immediately opened the car door for them. He was shocked when he saw the sorry state of Samuel. His body was covered by different claw marks. His other wounds were still fresh.

"Come inside, We need to move fast or else your friend will not make it." The middle-aged man blurted out with urgency.

Samuel was being carried by Ethan. He placed him on the back passenger seat. After that Jeston followed and stepped into the car.

"Thank you so much, sir. Please take good care of them." Ethan said, feeling grateful to the good samaritan who gave them a free ride.

"How about you young man? Are you not going with us?" The middle-aged man asked Ethan in confusion.

"No sir. I still have someone whom I need to rescue inside that forest." Ethan said to him truthfully.

"Alright, young man. Just be careful!" The middle-aged man bade him goodbye.

Soon, the driver stepped on the gas and the car sped off, leaving Ethan alone on the dark road. He exhaled deeply when he saw the car disappear from his sight. At least, he didn't need to worry about Jeston and Samuel. Now he could focus on searching Titania.

"Titania! You stupid brat! Just you wait. Make sure that you stay alive. I still have to punish you." Ethan said through his gritted teeth.

He rode his motorcycle once again as he drove back to the Riverdales Forest. It did not take long when Ethan caught a glimpse of a figure walking on the main road. Ethan slowed down for him to check who's that person. When he got a clear view of that person, it felt like the heavy burden weighing on his heart a while ago suddenly lifted.

The person who was on the side of the road was none other than but the brat he was looking for, Titania Eros! Meanwhile, Titania also noticed the incoming motorcycle.

"Lucky me! Now, I found a ride." Titania rejoiced as she waved her two hands, signaling the driver of the motorcycle to stop.

When the motorcycle stopped in front of her, Titania's eyes widened in surprise. The driver was Ethan! She didn't know whether she should cry or laugh after seeing the grim and ugly expression of Ethan. His look right now was more frightening than the werewolf who tried to attack her a while ago.

"H-Hi, Ethan!" Titania greeted him. Her smile looked awful as she was now very nervous because of Ethan's menacing eyes giving her a deathly glare.

"Get on the back! Right now!" Titania jolted because of his sudden outburst. He yelled at her.

Titania swallowed up anxiously before nodding at him. 'I am doomed!' She thought to herself.

She rode the motorcycle silently. Ethan didn't speak further. He turned the motorcycle and sped off. Titania had no choice but to clutch on his waist, or else she might fall off the motorcycle.

'D@mn! Riding a motorcycle with Etha is more dangerous than riding at the back of Dylan in his werewolf form.' Titania complained in her thoughts.

Unknown to Titania, Ethan felt relieved the moment he saw her. He was glad that she was safe. He assessed her a while ago. She didn't look injured or hurt anywhere. She can even smile at him. Now, his racing heart had finally calmed down. He just pretended to be mad because he didn't want her to know how nervous and worried he was for her. But he was still upset with her reckless actions.

To vent his frustration, Ethan intentionally drove the motorcycle at a high speed causing Titania to wrap her arms around his waist and hold him tightly. This was some sort of punishment for her. But he would confront her further once they reached the academy.

For now, he needed to catch up with the pick-up that was transporting Jeston and Samuel to the nearby hospital. He wanted to make sure that they would get the immediate care and treatment.
