Chapter 72
Layla woke up to the whimpering sound beside her and was surprised to see the man crouching on the bed while hugging his body as he trembled in a somewhat she thought might be ‘fear’. She tried to call him, but he wouldn’t open his eyes. For some reason, she was worried about him that she forgot about the memories she recovered in sleep. Well, it wasn’t just a simple ‘sleep’ as she still could recall the pain she felt earlier. Shrugging off the thoughts in her mind, Layla shook her head and rushed to the door when she saw Levius carrying a basket with herbs. She asked the guy what was the basket for and when the other realized she was awake, he almost jumped away from her saying, “I thought you’d die,” which made her more displeased towards him.
Levius discussed the details with her about what happened after she cut her hand with her blade while training in the woods in the afternoon. The guy mentioned her getting him into trouble for mentioning the ‘pois

“You promised!” Layla yelled at Levius. After Zev’s recovery, the man decided to take a stroll outside. She took the chance to have a conversation with Levius who promised her the answers to her questions. However, the guy was set to turn a deaf ear on her. “How could you get back on your words? I trusted you!”Levius heaved a sigh which made the creases on Layla’s forehead deeper. “You trusted me?” The guy shot her a suspicious look.“Why else would I approach you about it? I know you could give me answers, and I’m expecting you wouldn’t turn your back on a promise,” Layla stated. The perfect time to confirm her doubts was when Zev’s still away. She was dying to know how possibly she could be one of his kind. The worst part was her memory of what happened on a particular night. She knew she had to trust her instinct more than anyone and anything else but what she thought she was at that moment was something her mind and conscience couldn’t easily a

Layla slowly opened her eyes despite what Levius said. She could not care less about his words. Somehow, what the guy said had an impact on her. She certainly couldn’t tell what exactly it was, but she knew deep down in her heart that something had been moved. Levius’ mellow voice saying those sincere words packed with regret and sorrow, Layla’s emotion went into chaos. Until she lifted her hand to remove his grip on her, that’ was when she saw the man she seemed to forget for a moment.Anger. That’s what Layla saw in Zev’s eyes. She was assuming to see how Levius looked like after their conversation and didn’t expect to meet Zev’s blazing gray eyes. The latter was honest enough to show his disgust towards her and for some reason, Layla wanted to run towards him and inquire why he gave her that kind of stare. She felt guilty of a crime she wasn’t aware of. But the way she grew up made her shrug the thoughts off her head and focused on what she had in her

Layla whimpered when her back landed on the soft bed. It was comfortable, and she loved the feeling only if no one’s on top of her, pinning her under. She was about to push the Zev away from her, but he moved faster and pulled away from the kiss.“There’s no turning back, little Layla,” the man muttered while staring at her eyes. “You started this,” he added and fondled her face.“I…” Layla couldn’t continue what she wanted to say. After all, Zev was right. She was the one who kissed him first otherwise the man wouldn’t do the same. The years she spent in the dungeon made her learn how men would deal with their opposite sex, especially in a secluded corner where the walls and the floors were cold and the body needed more heat. Zev was a man, a demon, and a beast who probably wanted the same experience when alone with a woman like her.“Hmm?” Zev leaned closer and blew air to her neck, sending more chills to her already frozen nerves

Zev sucked in his breath when he felt the pain rubbing on his skin. He never expected Layla to feed on him, not even once did he think she would. His body was slowly numbing on the pain which was good for him. It was one of his abilities to help him last in battles. Unfortunately, he could only keep fighting without winning. After all, the curse wouldn’t allow him to kill anything nor anyone he despised.He put his weight on the lady as he pinned her down and she didn’t try to argue. Zev glared to intimidate Layla, but the latter was in a daze as she savored a piece of his flesh. He clenched his fists in anger. He could forgive her boldness when she marked him once but treating him like a meal was out of line. Zev took a deep breath and held the lady’s chin between his fingers. He stared at her who was still in awe while licking the side of her lips.“Does it taste good?” He asked her to which she responded with a nod and a smile. “Of course it’s go

*CRASH*The loud noise filled the room whenever Zev threw anything he grabbed from the bedside table towards the person who disturbed him. He didn’t care who it was. The guy ruined his mood and he wanted to vent his anger to anyone but the lady who was shivering badly beside him.“Get out!” He yelled and snatched the last vase left on the table. He threw it right on his target’s face who didn’t even try to dodge his attack. “Tsk!” Zev clicked his tongue in annoyance when his subordinate dared not to flee after what he did. He sighed and let his back fall on the bed while Layla remained speechless on the side, her body still trembling in fear as the blood from her severed arm kept oozing out.“What do you have, Lucian?” Zev asked with his eyes focused on the lady who cowered down her head. “Forget it if it's nothing important, otherwise, don’t waste my time and just say it,” he added without giving a single glance at the guy. He reac

Zev’s eyes were gone wider. He already considered it to be the case but having it confirmed was still surprising. The poison in Layla’s blood was unexpectedly enough to scare even the Vampire lord. And he was bitten by her. He shook his head to clear his mind. Things were getting complicated and when he looked at all the root causes of the previously major events, Zev couldn’t help but think that Layla could be the possible reason. She was like a weak butterfly fluttering her wings in the middle of nowhere where she thought the odds of life were against her, not knowing that the faintest movement she made could turn the world upside down. Zev smirked. It seemed like he got the best pawn he could ever have and there was no doubting about it anymore.“It’s her blood,” he mumbled under his breath.“Yes, Your Majesty. I’m certain it was Layla’s,” Lucian said.“Where are the others? I told them to hunt for their food starting tonight. Ce

‘He knows…’ Zev was rendered speechless. He tried to hide the shock he felt, but his expression gave him away. He could only wonder how someone like Levius knew something that shouldn’t be known. It was his deepest secret as well as his weakness. Once his enemies knew about how incapable he could be when it comes to killing his opponent, it would definitely be used against him in the future fight. And that was the least Zev wanted them to know. His kingly temperament was enough to get anyone on their knees yet the mask he had been wearing for years could be exposed at any time. It was something he didn’t consider before, thinking it would take another century for him to break free from the curse...or maybe not at all for the rest of his life. Unexpectedly, the person whom he almost entrusted his fate in exchange for getting rid of the curse actually knew about his secret.“What do you mean by that?” Zev asked, testing the waters. He was interested to find out whethe

“How’s the training?” Zev inquired as he walked down the stairs one morning. Three days had passed, and he was looking forward to hearing something good from Lucian’s team. After thinking over the situation they were in, Zev decided to make some changes to his plan. Instead of waiting for the blood clan to invade, he thought it would be better if he gained a foothold on the enemy’s territory. Followed by his thorough planning, considering all the possible factors that may affect his goal, Zev had been silently observing how Lucian managed his men.“Your Majesty,” Lucian greeted and slightly bent down. “I’m not good with words, so I hope you’ll see the improvement for yourself,” he said with a smile.Zev nodded his head and walked ahead. “Gather them ar
