Chapter 27
Layla didn’t know what went wrong with her escape plan. She disregarded the distance she walked towards the south just to run away from the strangers she met. She thought everything went according to her strategy, but she was more than surprised to see her pursuers waiting for her ahead. Her mind was not only confused but was also running out of ideas about why she was still followed.
The flood brought her to another part of the forest. The water receded like its only purpose was to distribute a little amount on every part of the woods. Layla found herself lying on the ground with her back. And when she opened her eyes, the last people she wanted to see were there, staring at her while waiting until she could finally grasp her situation.
“Hoho~ we met again, little girl,” the red-haired man muttered while smiling at her. His smile wasn’t kind at all, and she had to reason to return it, so she gave him a scowl- the kind she always saw painted on her

“Is that Layla?” Zev mumbled to himself when he heard the high-pitched familiar scream. He knew for sure that aside from his little stupid, no other woman was in the whole peninsula. “Lucian, make sure to make the trap you set work properly,” he reminded the man who was quietly doing whatever he said.“Layla should be somewhere on the river,” the white-haired said and headed to the nearby river just a few meters ahead. “Prepare yourself, those intruders should be giving her a hard time. I want her alive, not dead,” was what Zev said before rushing to his destination, leaving the other who didn’t have enough time to respond anything.‘This should be it,’ Zev thought while looking around. There was no trace of interruption in the movement of water on the river and no signs of Layla yet.“AHH!” It was Layla’s scream from above that caught his attention. Zev quickly raised his head to check only to see the lady whom he thought was stupi

Wet hair and soaked clothes didn’t hinder Zev when facing the men sent by the blood clan. He carried the unconscious lady under the nearby tree as he waited for the enemy’s spies to attack. He thought it wouldn’t be a big deal at all since he believed he was always the strongest, and he would remain to be until the end of his existence. His mind was set to boost his pride and ego, and he spent years alone reflecting and appreciating his might and well-being. Zev Wesley was a narcissist molded by loneliness in his lifetime solitude. But Layla came and her feisty mouth seemed to break the invisible walls separating him from the rest of the world. Her presence was unique, like a precious gem that was yet to be discovered.‘Those blood-sucking demons need a beating. Hah, what do they call themselves again? Vampire?’ Zev wondered. He turned around to check the surroundings. He knew they were being watched.“Watch over her, Lucian,” Zev ordered while gent

Layla woke up to the gnashing sound of claws against a steel-like object. She opened her eyes and the sight of monstrous creatures fighting each other stunned her. She brought her hand to her mouth to prevent herself from screaming. After all, she was a lady who could get scared too. And seeing a pale guy with tattered clothes and blood all over him getting pummeled by the sharp and glistening claws of a white monster she never encountered in the past was enough for her to wet her pants in fear. What Layla feared was not exactly the horrendous faces of men battling in front of her but the fact that she was unaware of such existence. Other than her master, Zev, Layla thought no one could be so powerful.“Master? Where is he?” she blurted out when she remembered getting saved by her moody benefactor from drowning in the river. She hurriedly got up to look for the man when Lucian held her in place with his usual bored expression on the face. “Lucian, where’s my master?

It was that moment when Layla thought she was in a dire situation. She was always prepared to do whatever Zev would ask her but not to the extent of killing someone. It wasn’t because she was hesitating, not at all. She had killed wolves and even foxes before to survive, Layla sure would kill anyone who tried to get on her way. And it's all because of Zev’s given task. Her concern was, how could she kill a person who was obviously stronger than her?“What’s with that face? Aren’t you willing to do it?” Layla sighed at what Zev said. She faced him with a blank face as she thought of a way to finish the bloody guy who was laying down on the ground just a few meters away. Layla turned in Zev’s direction who was already sitting on the log prepared by his loyal dog.“No, Master. It’s not about being willing or not. I have no choice but to do it to curry favor from you. But I don’t know how to do it, Master,” Layla admitted. She smirked when she saw her d

Zev deepened his voice than usual as he coldly stared at Layla who was dumbfounded by his question. He didn’t even know exactly why, but he couldn’t be wrong. When he looked at her eyes and studied her facial expression at that moment, his guts were telling him something about her running away. And Zev would never want that to happen. ‘She’s mine,’ was what he thought when the idea of giving up Layla to the vampires popped into his mind.“I… Master, I would not dare!” Her voice was firm yet filled with conviction. Zev knew she was lying but what could he do with her? Punishing Layla wouldn’t make her trust him. All he wanted was to get closer to her, if possible, getting closer into her heart would be the ideal way for him to have her stay by his side and do whatever he wanted. It wasn’t like he believed in a superficial thing called love… what he wished for… Zev thought Layla could help him realize it.“Oh. You weren’t?” He stepped closer to her an

*THUMP!*Zev wasted no second and threw Layla on the bed after muttering someone else’s name in her sleep. He knew he should have had nothing against it but the mere thought of the lady thinking about another man while he was cleaning after her mess agitated him to the maximum level.‘Victor?’ The name was familiar, and he thought he heard it from someone somewhere although he couldn’t completely recall.He stared at Layla who was still wearing her soaked shirt. Her short legs and thigh were exposed, and it was a good thing she was wearing underwear. Zev would love to know what happened to her why she ended up half-naked yet the lady was in deep sleep that she couldn’t ask her. “Why do I have to take care of you when you’re supposed to serve me instead?” He sighed when Layla didn’t wake up to give him an answer but snored loudly instead.“Right. How do you take care of someone with a fever?” Zev mumbled. He never ca

The room would have been quiet if not for the heavy breathing and groans coming from Zev’s guests. It was only a few minutes since Lucian left and Zev had started a sweet and spicy conversation with the vampires but the latter seemed opposed to how the host treated them. Zev talked sweetly as if he was harmless--- someone who couldn’t flick even a fly. Besides, his intention was as spicy as chili despite the sugary phrases he spoke. Zev’s words pricked through his guests' flesh.“Tell me, what’s your intention in barging in my territory?” Zev asked for the nth time when the white-haired vampire remained silent. He gave him a few seconds and when he refused to answer, he pummeled him with a rod with Wisteria wood on its tip. His victim moaned in pain. Zev had created holes in his body and he said nothing yet.As impatient as he was, Zev threw the rod and pinched the guy’s cheek. His fingernails pierced through the other’s face when he asked the same
Midnight Feast Chapter 35
The sound of the wooden heels of boots knocking on the concrete floor resounded through the walls. Lucian was quietly treading the way to the master’s bedroom where he assumed where Layla was. He didn’t know why his majesty would take in such a woman despite knowing nothing about her at all. The guard wolf pondered how he could get rid of the lady in case she would try to harm his king. Zev Wesley was Lucian’s only hope to prevent the blood clan’s ultimate plan; to rule over the kingdom and later, the continent. The Weres believed that if there would be someone ruling the world, it should be from their race as they were no doubt superior when it comes to power. And Zev was always been the best candidate.Lucian stopped in front of the door as he sucked in his breath. He intended to persuade the Alpha to lead the remaining Weres from different clans, he shouldn’t be bothered by anything else and Layla was one of those ‘extras’ he shouldn’t be minding. He pushed the d
