Chapter 108
The gritting sound of the door when Zev pushed it open resounded throughout the room. There was a torch burning on the side of the entryway as he stepped in, its light showing the silhouette of a man tied on the post standing in the middle. The view was bothersome as well as the groan coming from the person.
“Still alive, huh? That’s nice,” Zev said, nearing the guy whose bloody face became clearer when observed closely. “How’s the Wisteria wood in your stomach? Should I remove it now? There’s still a lot of devices here for you to try,” he added, looking over at the table where a set of torture equipment could be seen carefully arranged.“Urgh… are you disappointed that I’m still alive?”Zev raised a brow, tilting his head to the side with a playful smile pasted on his face. “Disappointed? Didn’t I just compliment you for being alive? I said,” he mumbled, leanRelated chapters
Midnight Feast Chapter 109
The sorrowful melody of lute resounding in Layla’s ears made her regain consciousness, slowly. She opened her eyes carefully, looking forward to seeing who was playing such melody with longing and sadness. She could feel it…the tingling pain in her chest grew stronger the more she listened to the song.It took Layla a few seconds to completely open her eyes which soon after widened in surprise to find herself in an unfamiliar room. She abruptly got up from lying down on a soft yet uncomfortable bed... it wasn’t because of the texture but the thought of not knowing where exactly she was at that moment caused her to put all her guards up. Layla would even think it’s the safest to sleep on the ground in a familiar forest where she’s aware of the beast lurking in the shadows than a fancy room she hadn’t seen before.“You’re awake,” a gentle voice asked the same time as the song ended.Layla didn’t notice it earlier but when she turned to her right, a man wa

Layla's heart throbbed so fast as if drums were paying inside her chest, she sauntered towards the man who seemed not surprised to see her. Her emotions were a mess. Scared of getting rejected, Layla warned herself before calling out the name she had forgotten for years. And not to mention, the man was no ordinary. She even witnessed how he fought with Zev before.“Victor…” Layla mumbled, sweating coldly on the outside while something was burning inside her, she couldn’t explain. She hadn’t felt the same way when she saw him several weeks ago. After all, she had no idea who he was at that time. The current situation was different as the man’s presence reminded him of a friend who’s dear to her.“Brother, you know her?” The man who brought Layla in asked. She turned to look back at him, wondering why he called Victor his ‘brother’. But just like her, confusion was written on t
Midnight Feast Chapter 111
A joyous laugh filled the four corners of the room. Layla frowned at Victor’s reaction but made sure to keep herself calm. After playing dumb like it didn’t matter whether the man was the vampire lord, Layla still couldn’t put her guards down yet, and never ever unless she wished for death. However, as much as she hoped everything would be fine, getting laughed at after making up a lie while trying her hardest to act like nothing was the matter at all, made Layla felt wronged. And at some point, she noticed how Victor’s laughing tone changed, causing the atmosphere to grow eerie all of a sudden.It was undeniable that Zev, a werewolf Alpha, and Victor, the vampire lord wouldn’t get along no matter what. Layla had no idea why as she only got to know what the world was like a month ago but thinking about how those two reacted with each other in an encounter, she could feel the animosity in between. Perhaps, a werewolf was meant to hate a vampire and vice versa.

The heated-up atmosphere was interrupted when the door opened, revealing the pale-looking young man who went by the name Darius- as what Victor called him, holding a folded (clothes) while sweating a lot.“Here are your c-clothes,” Darius said, huffing. He was obviously having a hard time breathing but still forced a smile at Layla who was amused for a moment. “I’m s-sorry. The servants washed it earlier as it’s stained with mud, so it took some time drying it for you to wear. It’s totally clean now,” he added, hoping for a gratifying response instead of reading the situation inside the room.“Good. I’ll get dressed then,” Layla mumbled, making her way out of Victor’s hovering arms. “Excuse me,” she said when the man didn’t budge at all. However, Victor remained still and so Layla had to use force to leave the corner where she’s trapped.“How bold,” Victor muttered when she walked past him. She didn’t say anything and headed to Darius for her clothes. “

“Did you forget I told you to watch over her? She’s dumb most of the time but would never try to run away! I believe she wouldn’t” Zev yelled, scolding the messenger who just arrived from the capital. He lost his wits the moment he heard the news. Zev knew that his plan was flawless, though whether it will work just fine should depend on the people doing it.“Your Majesty, Layla might be an airhead at times but would always find a way out of trouble. I assumed that by the time the messenger came here to report, she’d be running back to the mansion while thinking of an alibi for why she’s missing,” Levius said as he sat on the couch, trying to calm the Alpha who could do nothing but send someone to find his chosen mate. “Besides, Lucian would surely take care of it. In case Layla remains missing for a longer time, my brother would definitely find her for you,” he added, giving a signal to the messenger to leave.Zev didn't say anything and watched the poor guy left wi

Layla couldn’t sleep. She kept tossing on the bed, making herself dizzy to feel sleepy yet remained active instead. The night in the capital was different from when she’s in Zev's mansion in the peninsula. Fewer insects were buzzing outside in the trees, but the chattering of people in the nearby stalls and stores which were still open for business even at the late hour filled her ears. Without a doubt, the capital was a more lively place and this fact annoyed Layla.She wished to sleep to recuperate after exerting herself too much just to escape from Victor. Not to mention that she’d been feeling weak ever since she accidentally met the vampire lord like he’s absorbing all her strength when she’s within a certain distance around him. Layla thought it was just a coincidence, but thinking back when she encountered Victor’s siblings in the candy stall earlier that day, she seemed to faint because of the siblings’ presence.

Layla told Lucian everything. From when she arrived in the capital early in the morning until how she was able to escape from Victor. She didn’t forget to mention the vampire’s lord’s plan, her relationship with him before he became the vampire lord, and the enemy's plan which also involved her. Basically, Victor would probably do anything to achieve his goal and he seemed ready to start a war against Zev just to realize his dream. Lucian remained quiet, without saying any unnecessary comments about how she handled things her way.“And you think you’re going to fail this task?” He asked her when she finished telling him everything.‘Was he listening to me at all?’ Layla thought, glaring at Lucian who asked her something that should be very obvious. The guy raised his hands in the air, shaking his head as if he surrendered and didn’t want to pursue the matter of his question anymore.“He killed his brother when I was sent to the peninsula as the offering
Midnight Feast Chapter 116
The loud noises of people and horses from the main street filled Layla’s ears. She only slept like a couple of hours and was left with no choice but to wake up already. She could never go back to sleep again as the noises were only getting louder.“Argh! The sun hasn’t shown up yet! Can’t these people see the bright moon still hanging in the sky? There are stars, too. How can they be up so early?” Layla complained, hiding her face between the pillows. She tried covering her ears with her hands and even wrapped her head with a thick blanket, but it was no good, the random voices kept adding up, her head was about to explode.“AHHHHHHHH!” She screamed in frustration. Thankfully, her voice didn’t come out as loud as she imagined because of the pillows and blanket covering her face. Upon the sudden realization, she pulled herself up and sat on the bed before screaming for the second time.“AHHHHHHHH!!!” It was the loudest she could manage, letting out her f
