The wolf screamed violently and jumped on her. Maria cried, struggling with it as they got into a tough fight.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYmRLYdmtL
"Help!" Maria sobbed, her heart pounding against her ribs as if she were about to have a heart attack.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ypo4c3bcu
"Ray, stop!"140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTiQerC9eH
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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNrOv9cIZS
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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrOLRRqWRI
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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpEkvNJ6VH
"What exactly do you want?" He stated coldly.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6Vx5wOpux
When she heard his voice, Maria shivered. His tone was as icy as a pail of ice water dumped over her.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjwKrwMimG
"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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVcXb48qrc
"I'll start going."140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkFy4ecms3
Markus looked at her for a bit before speaking. "I believe it is late." He looked up at the sky.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOk1OvmR0n
"You are welcome to remain." He stated flatly.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtHP6MauuQ
"Wait!" Maria screamed as she noticed Markus turning to leave. "Your wol..."
"He's quite obedient." He interrupted her.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQLcdW5E3u
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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcby1yGAsdE
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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCytVHHkHBQ
"You can take a break over there." He motioned to the mattress.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPhSUpMKHP
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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsMsQ0KO4z
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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvNwVbkqrk
Maria stood up and walked around the room, inspecting every detail.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvkury6N8y
'You should go to bed."140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2Y8b4pQmD
As he spoke, Maria practically leapt out of her skin.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7bPLpmQ6I
"hum." She murmured as she returned to the mattress and lay down. After a few minutes, Maria fell asleep, snoring quietly.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH9ZcgOzEs
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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheg0SHlr6q
When she heard the familiar voice, Maria snapped her eyes wide. She sat up and looked around.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzhX74wKAe
"What?" Maria's unexpected move startled Mary.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnNDe6q0XS
"Where has he gone? Where has Ray gone?"140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgAwOAhdvc
Mary appeared more confused. "What on earth are you talking about?"140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbusgSdGU5O
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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O9ussidBf
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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi95EhLFsGc
"You remember me?"140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uFQVFPBV7
