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
Zev was looking forward to how Layla would turn him into minced meat with her blade. A hundred stab was something he could not underestimate, especially when the person stabbing him was mad. And Layla happened to be one, she seemed to enjoy what she was doing since he gave her permission to do what she wanted. Zev only hoped that she would be satisfied. After all, the deal should be in his favor. Sacrificing his body which going to heal anytime soon anyway would be worth it all once he got her on his side for as long as he wanted her to be.“97!” He heard Layla counted as she buried her dagger which already turned crimson due to his blood. On the contrary, Lucian’s screamed stopped before Layla could stab her twenty times. With his injury, Zev wondered if he was still alive or had finally met his end. But a guard wolf was not easy to deal with, it was just that Lucian angered a Were.Zev was tempted to see her for a bit, but he fought the urge to do
The sweet fragrance of various flowers filled Layla’s nostrils as she relaxed in the lukewarm water. She opened her eyes slowly and Zev’s pretty face was the first thing she saw. They were so close to each other and the good thing was that he was sleeping. She squinted her eyes for a bit to make sure she wasn’t dreaming. She wasn’t satisfied until she felt the pain on her thigh when she pinched herself.There were no flowers around, only burning torches and dry clothes neatly placed on the table in the corner of the room, but the flowery scent was only getting stronger. It almost made her lose consciousness again. It was too fragrant that could make anyone feel dizzy after inhaling it in a short time.‘Where am I? Zev’s bathroom?’ She pondered as she checked the environment. Layla was surprised to find herself in a tub and that… she was bathing with the man. Her eyes narrowed as she moved away slowly from him, hoping he wouldn’t wake up. Or sh
