The breeze became colder. Zev was patiently waiting for Layla who had gone hunting for her dinner. It had been a few hours and the sun was about to set yet there was no sign of the young lady.
‘Is it that hard for her to hunt something? I should have taught her how to hunt birds first,’ Zev thought as he leaned his back on the tree trunk. In front of him was a pile of unconscious boar he caught in a swift attack earlier. He stared at his loot blankly. A few decades ago, he would be contented to eat boar’s meat during his meal. Until he was cursed by the deity. He couldn’t get satisfied with the animal’s flesh. Although he could still eat them, they wouldn’t be enough to fill his hunger. And that’s when he started to prey on humans. Especially those hunters whom he would encounter back then. His life completely changed when he started to find pleasure in human flesh.
“Master!” It was Layla. She was running out of breath as she ran towards him with a
“HAHAHAHAH! How can you be so stupid?” Zev’s laughter filled the dining hall. He couldn’t stop laughing after hearing Layla’s story.“Master, your food is getting cold. You shouldn’t forget to eat while listening to me talk,” Layla said. She was only hiding it but she wanted to smack the man’s face on his plate. “You can’t blame me. It was my first time hunting. I didn’t even know that my dagger wouldn’t be enough to silence a boar,” she refuted.She did her best to catch that boar and with just one single mistake, everything went to waste. Layla took a bite of the rabbit’s meat she roasted. It tasted nice and tender though she would honestly prefer the boars’ savory meat.‘That damn boar, I’ll find you and make sure to roast your whole,’ she promised. She couldn’t forget how her prey escaped her grasp. And when she thought her legs would be enough to immobilize it was on the advanced level of stupidity.“It’s fine.
Zev took a deep breath. He intended to get Layla drunk but he didn’t expect it to be so fast. She only had a couple of glasses of wine and she was already crying her heart out. For whatever reason, he would like to know but before that, he already prepared several questions to ask her.“Hey, little Layla. Do you want to drink more?” He asked her. The young lady was hugging the wine glass she was drinking from earlier.“Yes, please.” Zev could no longer count how many times Layla said the same phrase. “Give me more,” she added while handing out her glass.“Sure, sure,” he replied as he poured her glass. “You can have as much as you want. Isn’t that nice?”Layla nodded her head. He sighed. Zev had never expected him to do such a trick just to gather information. He watched the lady emptied her glass one after another. He waited for another hour before he started questioning her.“Layla, do you know so
*Thump*Layla woke up to the pain she felt on her back. Her vision was blurry and she couldn’t see almost everything in the dark room she was in. The last time she was awake, she remembered having a drink with Zev.“Ugh…” she groaned when sharp objects pierced through her skin. She felt her flesh ripping off. ‘What’s going on?’ Layla thought.“Bitch, I’ll kill you.” Layla heard a familiar’s voice talking to her. He was just a few inches away as she could feel his breath on her face. There was a strong scent of blood coming from him as well.“W-What do you want from me?” she asked. Her voice turned out hoarse. “Ack!” Layla attempted to cough out the thick substance in her throat she guessed was blood.“Die,” the familiar voice whispered, and an instant, Layla was stabbed in her stomach. “I really wanted to drink your blood but before that, I would like to see you bathe on it. Just like that damn beas
The Wesley's was always proud and never letting anything trivial hinder their plans. Zev Wesley was the only one left in his clan as he was trapped in the Verte peninsula by the guardian deity, he spent decades within the invisible bounds while his kinsmen were helplessly slaughtered by the blood clan. He had a vague idea about what happened outside the peninsula until one of the guard wolves who served the upper ranked Weres came to his mansion and begged for his protection as he told him what happened to the others.With Layla beside him, Zev thought he could ruin the enemy’s plan. He was determined to use the young lady against the vampire lord who seemed to have a delicate affection towards his prey. Zev was always careful with his plans. He was born with a manipulative mind, beastly strength, and demonic powers. And he thought he could swallow everything within his reach. However, little did he expect, Layla’s devastated state would move his frozen heart. For t
The warm breath fanning her face and the gentle heartbeat she felt vibrating on her chest made Layla opened her eyes. She could barely remember anything that happened thus she took her time pondering. Her eyes automatically folded once again upon listening to the tender beats coming from the person who was hugging her. She tried to get away, but the grip was only getting tighter.“Um…” Layla her head away as she opened her eyes and saw a perfect v-shaped jawline with a dancing throat which made her swallow her saliva. She didn’t know why but looking at those features subconsciously made her open her mouth to drool. She was about to take a bite to mess with the alluring shape of the jaw when she realized something. No one in the house would spend a night sleeping with her but him. “M-Master,” she whispered. She didn’t want to wake him up and cause herself trouble early in the morning.Layla waited for him to say something but when he didn’t she quiet
Layla’s back was embedded in Zev’s head as he watched her leave. He was frozen on the spot when he heard what she said. Surprisingly, he thought what she said made sense. Sooner or later, Layla may betray him. However, as long as that day hadn’t come yet, he could still put her under his control. But she was not like any ordinary women served at his table, she was alive and had survived because of her greed. There was no way she would easily bow down to anyone and if she really did, it would be just a facade to hide her real intention. It was that possibility that made him careful around her. He was into her hidden strength at one point and then suddenly changed his mind after some time. After all, Zev still couldn’t control himself of his own volition. He tended to do some things against his will, Nah, it was better to call it his another personality, and it was because of the curse binding his soul. The curse that made him go beyond human and beast and probably more than just beco
The sound of wind pressure swiftly coming was clear enough for Layla to dodge before she could hear Zev’s voice warning her of the incoming trouble. She slid to the side avoiding the blow which towards her. Thanks to her incredible hearing ability which she acquired after spending years inside the underground cell she was locked in. Layla knew she could be stood a chance in a one-on-one fight if her reflexes were good enough which she just started to train. No one would have thought she would be tested the moment she came back to Zev’s mansion. Even though confused, Layla focused as she checked the person who was trying to hit her.‘Lucian?’ She wondered why the man only appeared after his disappearance the other day. Well, it wasn’t like Lucian would help her when she was about to get killed. The man was too loyal to betray Zev and by the looks of it, he might have thought she was trying to kill him thus he attacked her. Especially when Zev was too weak to say some
Growls and grunts brought Zev back to his senses. The pain he felt was gone although there was something in his chest which made him uncomfortable. He ignored the weird sensation and pulled himself up. There was no one beside him and the broken glass scattered around caught his attention.“Ugh…” He groaned when he felt dizzy. He was sure the symptoms were due to the poison in his body. It had been a few days since he was infected from Layla’s bite and so many things had happened which made him forget about extracting the poison out of his system. Not that he had some ways to do it, but trying should have lessened the pain.“Ah!” A guttural scream coming from outside alarmed Zev. To his surprise, it sounded like Lucian’s voice. He remembered giving the latter a task to complete and knowing that he’s back could mean that he either completed it or that he failed, so he returned to give him the details.‘What’s going on?’ Zev wondered a
