Chapter 33
*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

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

The sound of the water dripping from the holes on the pipe was like a lullaby to Layla’s ears. She had been curling her body on the corner of her cell as she endured the pain all around her body. She knew it wouldn’t take long until she completely felt the numbness she had expected after getting beaten for the day.“Ugh…” she groaned when she tried to move her head when a droplet of water fell on her face. Layla was trying to sleep to recuperate, but it seemed like she wouldn’t be able to unless she moved farther from where the water kept dripping.Layla was left with no choice but to drag her limping body to find a spot where was not broken pipe. She vividly remembered the first time she arrived at the place deep down on the ground where other children her age were imprisoned. The iron bars in her cell and the cold, moldy ground underneath became her ‘home’ though it wasn’t a sweet one.

The following days became tolerable for Layla with the new kid joining her in the cell. She had him whenever she needed to talk which she loved doing the most. The boy’s presence reminded her of the days when there were more kids with her, sharing the cold and hard ground where they stuck with each other.“Layla, where did you come from?” the boy asked her once, and she had no idea what to answer. She knew nothing about herself at all except that she recalled being called ‘Layla’ by someone she couldn’t remember. “How did you end up in this place?”Those questions made her yearn for knowledge in order to give the boy a response. But fate had already decided for her and the thought of going against it was too much for a girl who was ignorant of how the world works its wonders.“Forget it. If you can’t remember anything then don’t mind my questions,” he told her while patting her head. Layla loved it when he was petting her. She felt

Layla choked as she struggled from the tight grip on her neck. She moved was kicking in the air when she realized she had been lifted. Her hands were trying to grab something to hold on to as she refused to die yet. Getting strangled by the nobleman who managed the dungeon was one of the daily doses of ‘punishment’ she’d get after becoming completely useless since her eye was severed and her face was scarred. After all, her young mind made her realized that the place just above the cold and dark cell was no paradise but a dining hall for people hungry for sin. And Sir Gary happened to provide what they needed--- immorality.“Ah, what a waste. You had a pretty face before, and I was expecting you to bring me a fortune,” Sir Gary said regretfully. “Now that you’re ugly, you deserve to get more scars. You have to give back at least after I provide you shelter and food all these years!” He slapped her face with his thick and heavy, rough palms, one after another u

Zev rubbed his forehead while looking at the sleeping lady who seemed to take her time on the bed despite getting strangled earlier. He was amused at how she could stay asleep after what he had done to her.‘Terrific,’ Zev thought, praising the lady’s stupidity. ‘She would have been killed in her sleep and she had no idea about it,’ he added as he gave her a scrutinizing look. After contemplating to whether sleep by her side like the previous night and maybe spend the entire night planning on how to punish her once she woke up or find another room to sleep. He didn’t even need to sleep at all but he had nothing to do yet. He wasn’t in the mood to deal with his ‘guests’ as well. What Zev wanted to do was to see the little lady who was still recovering from fever suffer from his unreasonable tasks.“Little Layla, when will you wake up?” He asked her as he sat on the bed next to her. The white-haired brushed a few strands of hair from Layla’s face

Layla woke up to the tight voice murmuring beside her. She couldn’t comprehend the words someone was telling her. She found it weird. Usually, she would be able to hear even a small sound coming from afar. She didn’t open her eyes yet as she felt dizzy. Her thoughts were muddled and just like falling in the endless spiral well, she felt terrible. All she cared about was to keep herself warm. She ignored the hustling as she roamed her hands to find something warm… something she could hug to ease the cold.“Hmm…” she hummed when her hands came across a wall radiating with heat. It was firm and hard but was comfortable. Layla pulled herself closer and rubbed her cheeks. How she loved the cozy sensation.“Do you want to die?” It was that familiar voice again. Layla didn’t mind what it said and decided to enjoy the homely treat. She was about to drift back to her deep sleep after getting h

The savory smell of roasted meat enveloped the dining hall. It was the first thing that caught Layla’s attention as she walked past the kitchen while looking for her master. She didn’t expect to see the table filled with food. There were fruits in the basket, cooked meat, and even a glass of fruit juice. Her eyes form into a heart-shaped like as she tried her best not to drool in front of the food.“You’re here,” Zev mumbled as he put down his glass of water. “What are you waiting for? Dig in,” he ordered which sounded marvelous in Layla’s ears.The young lady excitedly slumped on the chair with her watering mouth. The view in front of her was appetizing and too good to be real. She spent a few minutes staring at them while quietly praying they wouldn’t disappear or that she wasn’t dreaming. After all, she couldn’t imagine having to eat such delicious food.“Are you going to eat or not? You’ve been gawking at them for too long alrea
