The wolf screamed violently and jumped on her. Maria cried, struggling with it as they got into a tough fight.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwc3a8LMKK
"Help!" Maria sobbed, her heart pounding against her ribs as if she were about to have a heart attack.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCxfWHtKjm
"Ray, stop!"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAX5fqGPro
Someone roared at the wolf, and he immediately resisted; Snared at her. He appeared discouraged and dissatisfied. He howled and retreated into the cave, his face solemn.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iAQ6OZKpu
Maria panted as she saw the wolf enter the cave. A man was standing at the cave's entrance. He stood beautifully, his hands in his pockets, his face expressionless, his hair softly dancing in the air.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZTsmKgTzT
Maria's spine tingled as she felt terrified by his powerful aura. He stood gallant and exuded a terrific appearance. With a straight face, he looked down at Maria.
"Who, who, who are you?" She stumbled.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSaJalNSKh
"What exactly do you want?" He stated coldly.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGe1O8HQA6
When she heard his voice, Maria shivered. His tone was as icy as a pail of ice water dumped over her.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtls7zKHJ2
"I........I was lost. Sorry for bothering you." She forced a grin. She stood on her feet and snarled in pain as she examined the wound on her arm.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOithwLZKg
"I'll start going."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWlTjcWw1Y
Markus looked at her for a bit before speaking. "I believe it is late." He looked up at the sky.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHW22Dj5yL
"You are welcome to remain." He stated flatly.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnsUlUSGkO
"Wait!" Maria screamed as she noticed Markus turning to leave. "Your wol..."
"He's quite obedient." He interrupted her.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlOWpFPdZe
What?! Maria's jaw flew open in shock. "EXTREMELY OBEDIENT!!!"
Markus entered, and Maria swiftly followed, strolling behind him. The cave was small, run-down, and deserted. It appeared to have been abandon for thousands of years. There was a mattress, a chair, and Ray, who lay in a corner.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLJjKv6N3e
When Maria saw Ray, she panicked and gripped Markus' arms. As Markus cast a peek towards Ray, he howled gently and looked downcast. Markus grasped Maria's wrist and yanked her hand away from him. Maria realized she was holding his arm and swiftly overcame her fright. She offered him a false smile as if she were an idiot.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp8ddUJNzG
"You can take a break over there." He motioned to the mattress.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB8jx1lZAs
Maria chewed her bottom lip. She approached the mattress cautiously and sat on it, her gaze fixed on Ray.
Markus caught himself staring at her wound and hastily withdrew his gaze. He sat in the chair, his arms crossed across his chest. Maria became concerned when she observed Markus napping. That wolf! What if he dumps her yet again? But hold on! How does he manage to tame a wolf? Maria looked at Markus, puzzled. Is he like Mary? "No!" she responded, shaking her head in denial.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnUFnrNj5f
Maria snarled in agony, feeling anguish in her injured arm. She was ready to close her eyes and place her hands on her arms when she remembered Ray; when she returned her attention to the wolf, he had already dozed off. Maria's face furrowed in amusement.
Both the master and the wolf appeared to be nodding off. Her tongue clinked.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKxq8dHf3X
Maria stood up and walked around the room, inspecting every detail.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YbHAoe3y4
'You should go to bed."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1jQWU69ko
As he spoke, Maria practically leapt out of her skin.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdmapYnPub
"hum." She murmured as she returned to the mattress and lay down. After a few minutes, Maria fell asleep, snoring quietly.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a0WLfQ4fI
It was early morning when Maria felt a hand on her shoulder. Before opening her eyes, she turned left and right, small murmurs escaping her lips.
"What on earth happened to your arm?" I'd been looking for you everywhere. I thought you'd lost." Mary stated angrily.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkq452fgzd
When she heard the familiar voice, Maria snapped her eyes wide. She sat up and looked around.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRGd5x3Rg0
"What?" Maria's unexpected move startled Mary.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvVPPicXbS
"Where has he gone? Where has Ray gone?"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74rHTJDK8R
Mary appeared more confused. "What on earth are you talking about?"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOYvVQEGPJ
Maria looked all across the cave, but she couldn't find them. When they returned to the castle, Maria recounted all that happened to Mary.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn5Nyj35U5
Maria returned to the cave several times after that day, but she couldn't find Markus. She used to be filled with questions since the day she saw Markus and his wolf. And she couldn't get them out of her head.
Markus was astounded that she remembered him after all these years. He was astounded. He came to a halt and turned to face her.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sXmQ1X8A8
"You remember me?"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpPrXMPlFL
