After talking with her sister, Rebecca came to the balcony for some fresh morning air.The squirrels were running up and down the trees. The cuckoos made pleasant noises from within the trees.Just then, she heard a faint sound of flute coming from above. She looked up toward the rooftop.A voice that was easy on the ears followed.“Two livesOne dream;Four eyesOne sight…Two TonguesOne voice;Four legsOne stand…”Rebecca found her heart beating in strange rhythms as she heard these words before. As blood rushed and emotions swelled in her, she rushed upstairs and reached the rooftop.She was expecting to see her husband, but then it was Benjamin who turned to face her.“Two birdsOne love;Four directionsOne destination.”The melodious song ended, and Rebecca felt a hunger and thirst she never had before. How did Benjamin know these words from her memories?Wasn’t it Benyamin who uttered these verses before?So how come Benjamin was able to sing this same song?Her wee-little he
“What the hell is going on?” Rebecca’s voice was filled with confusion, shock, and rage.Benyamin was shocked to see Rebecca. He was fully focused on Dahlia, so he didn’t sense Rebecca coming.He looked at Dahlia who didn’t seem surprised.Was this part of Dahlia’s plan?“Your husband tried to steal my panties,” Dahlia said. “That’s why I tied him up.”“Huh?” Rebecca’s expression warped. A lot of thoughts rushed through her mind, and she doubted Dahlia’s words. “Do you have proof?”Dahlia then pulled out a panty from under Benyamin’s pillow.Rebecca’s eyes enlarged. She looked at Benyamin. “Explain yourself.”“Rebecca, don’t believe this woman. She’s trying to separate us!” Benyamin quickly said.“And why would she do that?” Rebecca asked. “Do you two have some past relationship that I don’t know of?”“N-No,” Benyamin’s heart pounded against his chest. “I don’t even know her.”“You mean to tell me that you don’t know her, but you still let her tie you up when you didn’t do anything wr
Days kept passing.Everybody was getting adjusted to the new atmosphere in the Sterling villa.Elizabeth started going to the weekend parties again with her friends, which helped her deal with Shawn’s absence.Lisa and Roshan also started going to the school.Dorothy had her treatment bill get paid by Selena. She actually wanted Benyamin to massage her arms and legs, but she couldn’t ask him after Rebecca gave her a stern warning.In Rebecca’s room.At night, Benyamin just stepped foot in her room for the first time in a while. Seeing her working on her designs, he smiled, “Tomorrow is our wedding, so instead of sleeping, why are you still working?”Rebecca didn’t stop sketching. “I still can’t get over what happened in the dorms. Why do you not want to talk about it?”“I told you that I’d deal with it, didn’t I?”“Maybe, but I want to know the truth,” she glanced at him. “What is Dahlia to you exactly? Did you two love each other in the past or something?”“Of course not.”Rebecca’s
On the same night.Benjamin and Rye were on the rooftop, their backs facing each other, with the moon in the background.“After tonight, you’ll still have eight more days left in the 40 day time limit,” Rebecca said. “Are you planning on fighting for these eight days too even after their marriage happens?”Benjamin’s mouth was down. “Tomorrow will be the last.”He looked a bit thin because he hadn’t eaten anything in the past 32 days. Even though he did put food in his mouth at times to put on the appearance before others, he never swallowed it down his throat.Rye didn’t feel happy after hearing his words because she could feel his pain and sadness just as much as she could feel her own pain. “Tomorrow is a full moon night. It will be your best chance. Whatever happens, I will not let hatred come between us.”Saying that, she left the rooftop.Benjamin looked at the crystal tear in his hand. It had a golden chain, too. Benjamin made it so that he could gift to Rebecca during the wedd
Breakfasts in the Sterling family generally included a plant and egg-based diet. Today, however, was very different.All the dishes were made by Benjamin, and he cooked vegetable soup, lamb soup, and carrot pudding on top of it.These were the only three dishes he made. He didn’t let Delle cook any other dish.However, nobody complained.The kids loved the carrot pudding, and so did Veronica and Rebecca.Benyamin, however, didn’t touch any of the dishes and settled for water. But after tasting water, he frowned and looked at Benjamin who faintly smiled.Benyamin got up and quickly walked out of the villa and tried to vomit.Dahlia approached him, her arms crossed across her chest. “Did you drink the water in which he mixed baking soda? That was pretty smart of him. Baking soda kills parasites and also alkalizes the body, so it’s going to weaken you demons even more. You can try and vomit all you want, but your stomach probably already absorbed it. You demons underestimate us just beca
The wedding night has arrived on time just like the full moon in all of its splendor.Rebecca did not look happy because Selena did not send invitations to most of the people she should have.Selena didn’t want this wedding news to be spread around the world, either, so she tried her best to suppress it from behind the scenes.Jacob also played his part in doing what his wife wanted him to.Shawn entered the villa, wearing a disguise, as he wanted to see his sister’s marriage and also see his wife and kids once.The wedding was taking place in the front yard.Benjamin was standing in the distance, far from the crowd.Jane and Veronica brought Rye out of the villa. Dressed in dazzling white, she looked like the walking moon.Benjamin didn’t even look in her direction as his back faced the villa.Holding a bouquet of white roses and lilies, she waited for the groom.Moments later, Benyamin also walked out of the villa, as escorted by none but himself. With a hand in his pocket, he walke
The moment blood gushed out of Rebecca’s neck, while her eyes were staring at him, Benjamin immediately snapped.“BENYAMIN~~!!”His roar reverberated through the hearts of all the people there, shaking their very souls.Benjamin’s suit was ripped to pieces as he grew into a mighty silver werewolf and leaped forth.In a flash, Benjamin’s claws cut through Benyamin’s shoulder and snatched Rebecca.Benjamin vanished from people’s sight and landed on the rooftop.Dahlia and Uzza took Benyamin and also vanished from there.Rye stood frozen, and so did Selena and everyone from the Sterling family. The guests were also thrown into chaos as a man had turned into a monster right before their eyes.Louis and Bella were quick to act. They cast a wide spell together, which swiftly erased the recent memory of this wedding itself.However, they did not remove the memories of those from the Sterling family.Almost every guest collapsed on the floor afterward, but Selena and others were still standin
A few days later.At six in the morning.Rebecca woke up and found Benjamin resting with his head at her legs. “Benjamin, why are you sleeping the other way? You’re not a cat. Sleep next to me!”Benjamin rolled over to her side and lay next to her, sharing the same pillow. “Last night, I woke up for water, and then I saw the mole on your thigh, and I wanted to sleep next to it.”Rebecca’s face flushed very much. “Stop it, you are talking like a child!”“Aren’t we both still children in our relationship?” Benjamin gently touched her chin and planted a kiss on her cheek.Rebecca’s face gained some more blood. The same could be said for Benjamin. Both of them were fair and were in the prime of their age, so they appeared a thousand times more attractive when blood rushed to their faces.After Benjamin kissed her, Rebecca felt her emotions stirring up again. She pulled the blanket up and covered both of them and hugged him tightly and showered kisses on him.“I think it’s time for breakfa
