The wolf screamed violently and jumped on her. Maria cried, struggling with it as they got into a tough fight.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUiVv15zs3
"Help!" Maria sobbed, her heart pounding against her ribs as if she were about to have a heart attack.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVn1nLhaJc
"Ray, stop!"97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdQ1VpLYWu
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.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IJ8r5AejK
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.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RZmYtHP1e
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.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7EfXs0Ekf
"What exactly do you want?" He stated coldly.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMVBWyBzOj
When she heard his voice, Maria shivered. His tone was as icy as a pail of ice water dumped over her.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCUSFm5iDd
"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.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTRI95FURO
"I'll start going."97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTyJ3e0g6f
Markus looked at her for a bit before speaking. "I believe it is late." He looked up at the sky.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg1hmVU65N
"You are welcome to remain." He stated flatly.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Kav1y9cR3
"Wait!" Maria screamed as she noticed Markus turning to leave. "Your wol..."
"He's quite obedient." He interrupted her.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGtotLeClZ
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.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjAjnZWI7j
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.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDndjsRzGW5
"You can take a break over there." He motioned to the mattress.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsQsim23th
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.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWMtpScM8t
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.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4y2EF4d7C
Maria stood up and walked around the room, inspecting every detail.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rc7InMF8G
'You should go to bed."97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qkIfQ2Luj
As he spoke, Maria practically leapt out of her skin.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWo1mr8kG7
"hum." She murmured as she returned to the mattress and lay down. After a few minutes, Maria fell asleep, snoring quietly.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfm72pEDFD
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.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrDbyc23oz
When she heard the familiar voice, Maria snapped her eyes wide. She sat up and looked around.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhInWQrY6Ch
"What?" Maria's unexpected move startled Mary.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3kWETF2JR
"Where has he gone? Where has Ray gone?"97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VBVfW9GF4
Mary appeared more confused. "What on earth are you talking about?"97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplUJ9MELwJ
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.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSM9OqBs5N
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.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YN4DAgtCS
"You remember me?"97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LKIoXCKQu
