The Author's POV

Chapter 389

His hair may have been longer, and his body was a lot more muscular, but the man before him was indeed Ren.

Starting at Ren, Kevin did not know what to say, and his feet came to a pause.

Lowering his head, his eyes continued to look at Ren. Three years? How long was it now? He did not know…it felt like a really long time. He changed so much.

A chill ran down Kevin's spine as their eyes met.

He felt this inexplicable sense of terror coming from Ren.

"Ren…"

Kevin softly muttered, his brows furrowing together.

'He's not in the right state of mind.'

Ren had this blank look on his face, one that seemed to be unable to properly comprehend the situation. Mounting Aaron from above, he had his hands pressed on his throat.

A tense silence enshrouded the forest.

Kevin wasn't dumb. He knew exactly what was going on. Ren was trying to kill Aaron.

Rustle—!

A rustling sound suddenly came from behind Kevin. Turning around, he realized that it was Emma and the others. Walking out of the bushes, Emma squinted her eyes as she look at Kevin.

"What's going on h…what?"

It was then that she suddenly noticed something else. Turning her head, her eyes soon paused on Ren and her face froze.

"…w…what."

Out of pure instinct, she took a step back.

Rustle— Rustle—

Behind her, Amanda, Jin, and Melissa also walked out and when they noticed Emma's expression, they turned to look in the same direction as where she was looking at.

Their faces froze too.

"I…impossible…"

Emma muttered out loud, breaking the silence. Pointing her hand, which was trembling, in Ren's direction, her mouth opened and closed multiple times.

"W…what is he doing here?"

She turned her head and looked at Kevin. Her mouth trembling.

"Wasn't he supposed to be dead…tell me I'm not seeing things?"

The presence he gave off scared her. It was this chilling presence that made her hair stand.

It sort of reminded her of the time back in Hollberg, but…this time it was a lot more extreme. The bloodlust exuding from out of his body felt suffocating.

She wasn't the only one that felt this way as Jin, Amanda, and Melissa all warily looked in Ren's direction.

Something was off about him.

"What are you doing, Ren?"

Kevin softly said in a calm manner.

He understood where Ren was coming from. He had read about the things that he had been going through and fully understood that at the moment he wasn't in his right state of mind.

If possible, Kevin would've turned a blind eye to what was currently happening, but that was impossible.

If Aaron died, horrible consequences could ensue. He couldn't allow Ren to kill Aaron. At least not today.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Kevin slowly approached Ren.

"Ren, it's me, Kevin. I'm sure you know who I am."

Behind him, the others did not stop him. Worry and many other different emotions flashed across their eyes as they stared at Ren and Kevin. Especially Jin who stood rooted on his spot like a statue.

Shock dying his entire face. His mind was unable to comprehend the situation before him.

Soon, Kevin stopped in front of Ren. His eyes paused on the hand that was grabbing onto Aaron's neck.

"Ren, let go of Aaron."

His voice was soft, but everyone around him could hear it.

"You know you can't kill him. Think about the consequences that would happen once you kill him. It won't just be affecting you, but it will affect us too…"

His words seemed to have an effect on Ren, who slowly loosened the grip of his hand. Kevin sighed in relief once he saw this. A smile appeared on his face.
