MasukIn a world where different creatures mingled with humans, despite struggling with the world's hardships, fighting for survival, and attempting to escape the clutches of the night creatures, humans, no matter what they did, always ended up as a tool for survival. On their quest to acquire power, freedom, and wealth, this dark power's only source of survival was through one soul; the soul of a freeborn. This soul, being an embodiment of power, could change anything and everything. Kate Warren was this soul. She was a young, spirited woman whose soul was purer than a dove and was sought by different creatures who would do anything to take everything from her. Her soul was a power treasure for the demons and a great source of energy for the witches, while her blood was the life-sustaining elixir for the night creatures. All these things they sought were the keys to unlocking power. Kate was the only survivor in her town when a massacre took place that caused the deaths of her family. Unknown to her, she was the motive behind the massacre. Her bad days changed for the worst when she got abducted by a demon. Facing the chaos surrounding her and building a strong shield around herself Kate found solace in the arms of the night whisper. The whispers of the night had a certain attraction for her. It always drew her to Clarence Roosevelt, whose name shook her very soul and core, and was also death and life to her. Having discovered that the only person who can lead her into and also away from destruction is herself, will she save herself and others from destruction, or will she be the destruction itself? “All she needed to do was listen to the Night Whispers”.

Com os lábios entreabertos, ela observa seu acompanhante através do reflexo. Ele está no box, os movimentos lentos e provocantes enquanto seca os cabelos molhados. Cada gesto é um convite silencioso, cheio de intenções. Os músculos dele se destacam sob a pele úmida, e ela sente um arrepio percorrer sua espinha ao se lembrar de cada toque e suspiro que dividiram há pouco.
O vapor do banho ainda envolve o ambiente, mas não o suficiente para ocultar o corpo dele, que brilha sob a luz suave do banheiro. Vivienne morde o lábio, incapaz de desviar o olhar, enquanto as lembranças do prazer recente inundam sua mente. Seu coração acelera, e ela ainda consegue sentir as mãos dele explorando sua pele, os gemidos abafados que escaparam de seus lábios.
Ele percebe o olhar dela e, com um sorriso malicioso, ergue o rosto, os olhos cravados nela, carregados de luxúria. Sem pressa, ele se aproxima, cada passo deixando claro que a apreciação é mútua. Os olhos de Noah percorrem lentamente cada curva do corpo de Vivienne, um brilho de satisfação evidente em seu olhar.
— Você é insaciável. — Ele sussurra no ouvido dela, deslizando o nariz pelo pescoço exposto, arrancando um gemido suave dos lábios de Vivienne, que se contorce em resposta ao toque dele.
Com um movimento decidido, Noah vira-a para si e a ergue com facilidade, colocando-a sentada na bancada de mármore. Ele se posiciona entre as pernas dela, segurando-a firme pela cintura enquanto a envolve em um beijo intenso, os lábios se movendo com uma urgência contida, como se quisesse gravar aquele momento na pele dela.
Quando ele se afasta, a respiração dele está pesada, mas o olhar ainda traz a sombra de um sorriso satisfeito.
— Mas nosso tempo acabou, tenho compromissos para cumprir. — Noah murmura, a voz grave e sensual contra a pele de Vivienne, que, sem pensar, envolve os braços em volta do pescoço dele, tentando mantê-lo perto.
— Por favor, fique mais um pouco. — Vivienne pede, fazendo um biquinho adorável com os lábios rosados e levemente inchados pelas intensas trocas de beijos. Ela o observa com um olhar suplicante, os olhos brilhando em uma mistura de desejo e um toque de vulnerabilidade que parece afetá-lo profundamente.
Noah hesita por um segundo, as mãos firmes ainda segurando a cintura dela, como se estivesse considerando ceder ao pedido. Ele passa o polegar pelo lábio inferior dela, sentindo a suavidade e a doçura do gesto, os olhos fixos nos dela.
— Vivi, você me deixa louco. — Ele confessa, a voz mais rouca, lutando contra o próprio desejo, enquanto se inclina para um beijo, curto, mas cheio de promessas não ditas. — Eu adoraria ficar, mas se eu não sair agora, perderei compromissos importantes. — Finaliza, beijando-a novamente, desta vez com intensidade, até a deixar sem fôlego. Com um último beijo, ele se afasta, saindo do banheiro e deixando no ar a eletricidade daquele momento.
Vivienne suspira, ainda sentindo o corpo quente e o desejo que ele sempre deixa para trás. Morde os lábios, tentando lidar com a confusão de sentimentos que Noah desperta nela. Ela sabe que o que sente por ele vai muito além do físico. Está completamente apaixonada. Mas, ao sair do quarto, sente o vazio a envolver, e o silêncio pesa.
Ela nota um envelope na cama. Com o coração pesado, ela se aproxima e, ao abrir, encontra um cheque de cem mil dólares e um bilhete curto.
“Serviço prestado conforme esperado. Você nunca me decepciona.”
Vivienne sente o peito se apertar. Amassa o cheque com raiva, a frustração e a dor tomando conta. Ele sempre faz isso, deixa dinheiro e palavras frias, tratando-a como se fosse apenas um serviço contratado. Ele diz que significam mais, mas esse bilhete só reforça o oposto, fazendo-a se sentir descartável.
Ela j**a o cheque amassado na mesa de cabeceira e encara o quarto vazio, a solidão se fortalecendo. Ela está apaixonada, mas se pergunta se ele algum dia enxergará isso. Se ele conseguirá tratá-la como alguém que importa de verdade.
Vivienne se senta na cama, as lágrimas descendo silenciosamente. Quer mais do que esses encontros escondidos. Quer ser mais do que um segredo bem guardado. Quer ser importante para ele, ser vista. E, enquanto se deita na cama, encarando o teto, se pergunta se algum dia terá coragem de exigir o que realmente merece.
Na manhã seguinte, Vivienne acorda sobressaltada ao som insistente do celular tocando. Olha para o relógio e sente um frio na espinha ao perceber que está atrasada para o trabalho. Trabalha como assistente do CEO da principal empresa financeira da cidade, a holding Muller Capital Partners, e não pode se dar ao luxo de atrasos.
— Estou com sérios problemas. — Murmura, soltando uma risada nervosa enquanto esfrega o rosto. — Esquece isso, Vivienne. — Sussurra para si mesma, tentando afastar as dúvidas que a atormentam. Sabe o quanto a relação com Noah é complicada.
Balança a cabeça, decidida a focar no trabalho e deixar os dilemas pessoais de lado, pelo menos por enquanto. Com o cabelo arrumado e o blazer ajustado, pega a bolsa e sai às pressas, preparada para enfrentar mais um dia na Muller Capital Partners, tentando ignorar a voz interior que insiste em lembrar a noite passada e o bilhete que a fez questionar até onde conseguirá suportar essa situação.
— Senhorita Bettendorf, você está atrasada. — A secretária do andar chama a atenção de Vivienne assim que ela sai do elevador privativo, que apenas os funcionários daquele andar têm permissão de usar.
— Eu sei. — Vivienne responde, caminhando rapidamente para sua mesa, localizada próxima à sala do CEO.
— Senhorita Bettendorf? — A secretária chama, mas Vivienne ignora, atravessando a recepção com passos decididos e adentrando a sala de seu chefe, apenas para encontrar o ambiente vazio.
— Onde está o senhor Muller? — Vivienne questiona, voltando-se para a secretária com uma expressão confusa e levemente irritada. Ela conhece a agenda dele e sabe não haver compromissos marcados para aquele horário.
— O senhor Muller está em uma viagem de negócios. — A secretária responde, com um sorriso profissional e levemente provocativo, claramente descontente por ser ignorada. — Ele volta em duas semanas. Você saberia disso se tivesse verificado seus e-mails. — Completa, com um tom sarcástico que faz Vivienne arquear as sobrancelhas.
— Noah viajou? — Vivienne murmura para si mesma, surpresa, esquecendo-se completamente de manter o tom profissional. — Quero dizer, o senhor Muller. — Corrige-se rapidamente, sentindo o constrangimento tingir suas bochechas. Mesmo que estejam envolvidos, na empresa ele é apenas o seu chefe. Ela precisa se lembrar disso.
Clarence directly teleported himself to the forest near the council building. He walked the remaining distance before entering the building through the huge black gate that was heavily guarded inside. The guards bowed when they saw him walk in. Reaching the entrance of the building, he was met by a scrawny-looking man with pale white skin and red eyes. He was no doubt a vampire but a low-ranked Vampire. "Master Clarence" The man greeted opening the door for Clarence "You came early today," He said as they made their way inside the building. "You were not expecting to see me?" Clarence asked in a bored tone while walking with his chin raised in confidence and his step firm on the hard floor. "N…no master Clarence. It's just that…" The man stuttered as he tried to keep up with Clarence's long strides. "It's understandable Markus" Clarence cut him off "There are a lot who wouldn't like my presence today" Markus did not say anything to this. The council meeting was
Kate looked down at her folded palms. What was her decision? She hasn't made up her mind yet and she didn't know what to say. She was not sure if she can stay here, but she was also sure those demons will kill her if she went back to her town. She was confused about what to do. It made her feel soberer to realize that she didn't have anyone to ask guidance from. She couldn't ask Madam Rosie, she will tell her to follow her heart. But what is her heart saying? Her heart was cold and her mind was fuzzy, she couldn't think straight anymore. "I can give you all the time to think about it but…" He drawled "They wouldn't also have time to think about it when they're killing you" Was that an encouraging word or a threat to something? Will they really kill her? Of course, they will, she had seen how the last one was about to kill her. Kate looked up at Clarence whose gaze never left her. She couldn't figure out what the man was thinking. Can she live with a man who can disappe
"What do you mean?" Kate looked the man in the eye. "I think you should finish your meal before we talk about this" Clarence said resting his back on his chair. Kate decided to eat since she was hungry. She didn't have the strength to argue with this man but one thing she knew was that she was not going to stay with him.Taking everything she could find on the table she ate as she had never eaten before. Forget table manners, hunger will make you behave like a woman without ethics. Clarence watched the woman in front of him stuffing food into her mouth. Who knew she was this hungry, perhaps she has not eaten since morning. He silently watched her as she ate while thinking of how to convince her to stay. She looked like the stubborn type who wouldn't listen to him. But he will make sure she stayed.When kate was done eating, James came in and cleared the table. She turned to Clarence "What were you saying, that I'm going to stay here?" "Yes," Clarence answered
In an old cave where no human has ever gone, maybe the fear of what they will find or the fear of meeting the night creatures, or probably both made them not step into the deep forest. The ones who claimed to be brave went and never come back again. But no one knew this was where some of the demons resided. Not everyone knew about the existence of demons. They only knew about the night creatures and the witches. Even when the demons killed humans, the blame was always put on the night creatures. The council has done everything they could to keep everything gentle where both the demons, the night creatures, the humans, and the rumored witches will stay without causing chaos. That was the agenda they have been working on for decades which has been unfruitful, especially the massacre that took place a decade ago that involved Kate's town. Inside the cave, it was blazing hot, and different types of demons were everywhere. Some had the shape of a deformed human with blac
Kate and Madam Rosie went back to the shop after bidding goodbye to Borrel. "Now Kate lass, tell me what happened there. You got me so worried" Madam Rosie said as they sat down on one of the benches inside the shop. Kate took in deep breaths as she started narrating "I don't know Mada
"I see you're awake" All the nerves on Kate's body turned alert. She slowly turned to face the monster that kidnapped her, but what she saw was a different person. The man standing in front of her is beautifully handsome. His eyes had the darkest shade of red, his pointed nose wa
The demon continued fighting with the man, not backing down. He kept on throwing more knives and balls of fire but before they got to the man, they disappeared. Confused with what was happening "What are you?" The demon voice sounded more croaky now he was fighting. "What I am?" T
Kate walked into the mansion, fascinated with everything she saw. The beautiful large fountain at the center of the compound, and the smaller one in the garden added to the beauty of the mansion. The beautiful flowers and the well_trimmed fields that surrounded the fountain gave it a peace
