LOGINFor sweet and innocent Adriana, life was nothing but a walk through the park. That was, until she turned 18. Adriana feared for this day her whole life, but it was finally time to face them as so many women in her family has done in the past. It was the day for her to attend the Revendal, an annual Grand Ceremony which was held for none other than the pure blood, Draven Cruz. Not only was he famous for his good looks but his temper was well-known amongst the vampires and the humans as well. And now? It was time for him to choose himself a keeper from the ceremony and Adriana silently prays that she wasn't the one. But what happens if he does take a sudden interest in her? Does a human really stand a chance with a vampire?
View MoreAdriana's POV After we made it to the terrace, Draven let out a groan, but I only inhaled deeply, my mind finally coming to ease. The rain had stopped pouring, but it was still cold and windy, just the way I liked it. “I am too tired, doll face. How much longer?” Draven started groaning again, walking up to me near the pool. I let out a sigh of annoyance before shooting him a frown, but Draven was just staring down at the water, probably lost in his own little world. A very bad but satisfying idea came into my head, and without any second thoughts, I found myself sneaking behind Draven before doing the most horrible thing ever. I kicked him right in the ass, sending him flying right into the pool. It didn’t even take seconds for Draven to swim back up. “What the fuck, Adriana?!” he started cursing, but I was laughing too hard now. The look on his face was priceless. “Oh, you think this is funny?” he asked, a sadistic smirk suddenly appearing on his face, sending a million sh
Adriana's POVI tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep that night, despite the fact that Draven was sound asleep right next to me. We had talked a bit more, but after I told him that I wasn’t interested in giving him a chance to make things right, he started giving me the silent treatment. After that, we both just decided to go to sleep well, mostly I decided to. But I couldn’t sleep no matter how hard I tried. And let’s be honest, could you blame me? Draven was acting totally different now, and it was driving me crazy. The worst part was that I couldn’t tell whether that was a good thing or a bad thing. After all, he was being extra sweet and actually trying to be nice to me, for once. Why, though? Did he really have feelings for me? Because back in the day, the Draven I knew wouldn’t have given two shits whether I was upset or not. He would have done whatever he pleased and gotten away with it. But it was different now. He was actually trying to apologize and begging me to giv
Adriana's POV “I am not jealous. I just get fucking pissed when people take away what’s rightfully mine.”I could sense the anger in his tone. Instead of arguing with him, I decided to calm him down a little. He was misunderstanding anyway; I might as well clear it up.“Draven, I am not his to claim, alright? We’re just friends and...”“Yeah, right.” I watched him turn around to stare right up at the ceiling, a hand slumping on his forehead, and I raised a brow at him. “I see the way you look at him, Adriana…” He turned to face me again, and my eyes widened when I realized that his face was only an inch away from mine now. “And I see the way you look at me…”I stared dead into his eyes, and at this point, my heart ached for him. Even in the dark, I could see the pain and hurt in his eyes. Before I could say anything more, he concealed the hurt with his usual expressionless mask, causing my heart to drop.“It’s just different,” he added.“I could say the same about you and Lian
Adriana's POV He stopped to look down at me, and I went silent as I brought his wrist closer, my fingers trailing the veins on his arms. God, I was getting obsessed with every part of him again, and that was not good.I could feel his body tense up under my touch, but I didn’t make it a big deal. Instead, I took a deep breath and gave him a pleading look, to which Draven responded with a hard look on his face. He cocked an eyebrow at his wrist, motioning me to hurry up, and I let out a sigh in defeat, knowing that he would do it his "own" way if I didn’t cooperate right now.After making a last face in disgust, I licked off a drop of blood and scrunched up when the bitter taste filled my mouth.“You have to drink more than that.”“I can’t do it; it’s gross!”“Well, I’m not really giving you a choice right now, am I, doll face?” Draven shot right back, and his sudden outburst made me jump a little before I looked at him with wide eyes, tears slightly glistening inside them, but I
