Jax's PoV"Did you see her?" I asked Ayden, who had come to visit for the umpteenth time. The man nodded. However, I couldn't translate the expression on his face. "Is there a problem? Ivanna is fine, right?"Ayden shook his head and then looked me in the eye. "She's not okay, Jax. You have to do something. Why not ask Jason for help? He'll definitely help you. You forget that your brother is the clan leader who will help you to be free. No one would dare oppose him."What Ayden said was true, but I wasn't the type to ask my brother for help. With his intentions and goals toward Ivanna, there's no way I would agree with that. And that would be the condition.Blood moon, ritual eating, and strengthening the clan that was Jason's goal. Although I don't know if there is something to do with Ivanna, I don't see it this way."You know how Jason is yourself. Nothing is free in this world, Ayden."Ayden nodded, then let out a breath from which I knew what he said about Ivanna was true. That
Jax's PoV "Ivanna, tell me what he did to you before this?" I urged the half-stoned girl in front of me. According to my assumption, Kay Lee must have bitten her or simply mixed his saliva into Ivanna's wound, which was still recovering. That's why the wound was bleeding again. I didn't know what the man's purpose was, but this was very dangerous for Ivanna if I didn't neutralize it immediately. It cannot be arbitrary to turn a human into a vampire. Especially if it were the way Kay did—by mixing his saliva into Ivanna's bloodstream—that would be toxic to her. I, of course, panicked when I found out about the weirdness happening to Ivanna. It was possible that the girl would eventually turn out like me, but what if she became another horrible creature? In the vampire world, there are vampires and feral. A feral is a bloodsucking creature that is different from a vampire in that it resembles a human when alive, while a feral is another creature that is wild and destroys the order of
Jax's PoV Ivanna let out a sigh from her luscious lips as I kissed every inch of her skin. And when my lips traveled further down, right to her chest, playing there for a while, the sigh turned into a moan. I gave her a bonus by playing with my tongue there, and she reciprocated by squeezing my hair. "Oh, I'm sorry, Jax. It was just a reflex movement because you're—never mind, let's keep going," she said in that sexy raspy voice that makes me go crazy every time I hear it. I was in love and infatuated with everything Ivanna had. And it lasted for thousands of years until finally, cupid gave me a chance to get her heart now, in her third reincarnation. I did as she asked. The game continued, my kisses going lower and lower. Right at her core. I couldn't resist the turmoil of desire already forcing me to head to the main dish. It depended on whether she agreed to me speeding up the pace or if she still wanted to enjoy the slow game for a while longer. I stopped when my eyes stared at
Ivanna's PoV Jax looked at me intensely with his beautiful pair of sapphire-colored eyes. I have instantly swept away as if he was hypnotizing me with his sharp but loving eyes on me. I knew it. I did force him to make love one more time, and he had to bite me immediately so that the pleasure of our struggle would camouflage the pain. However, Jax kept making mistakes that annoyed me. I was upset because I craved him constantly. I could never get enough of him, and even though my whole body felt like it was crumbling, I enjoyed it. "Jax, let's do it now. I'm ready for whatever risk I have to take after I become a vampire like you," I urged him to bite me immediately. After a long stunned moment, he grabbed my hips and brought his face closer to mine. "How about we enjoy life before I bite you? Because I can't guarantee that you will still love me after you become a vampire," he said, sounding earnest, and in his eyes was a fear that I could read right now. "Jax, I will love you ev
Jax's PoV"Jax, stop it, Jax! Jax, wake up! You could kill Ivanna if you keep sucking her blood!" That voice rang in my ears. I couldn't turn myself back into Jax, who would never suck human blood until a punch landed on my temple.BUGH!!!I don't know how long Ayden had been here. Although it was me who contacted him to come in order to control me from consuming Ivanna's blood later, still, realizing his arrival, I was quite surprised, especially when he grabbed me by the collar and was about to throw another punch that could probably kill me because he was wearing the spiked gloves that were his main weapon."Ayden, stop! Okay, I've stopped sucking her blood since earlier. Why are you still attacking me?!" I shouted, which made him release his grip on me."I'm sorry, buddy. I'm just worried that if you suck Ivanna for too long, she might die.""I know that. Then I've already done it, haven't I? Then what? Is it like this? Is it that if I bite someone, they will be unconscious first
Ivanna's PoV I was stunned when I saw what was in my hand. My hair, not just one or two strands, but almost all of it. Was this still the effect of my illness? Or was this the stage after receiving a bite and becoming a vampire—in other words, I would still experience the symptoms of my illness until the serum spread throughout my body? Jax came over to me and confirmed whether my question about these symptoms was due to the effects of the serum or just an adjustment. I didn't know for sure. I don't even remember how long I was unconscious before finally opening my eyes after Jax bit me. He looked at the clump of hair in my hand. "Ivanna, what's going on?" the man asked as he picked up his cell phone and seemed to dial some numbers on the screen. I grabbed the object from his hand, then looked at and caressed his firm jaw that was starting to grow fine hair. "I'm fine, baby. Please don't involve others too much for now. You've made me yours, and I feel no pain at all and—I think y
Jax's PoV Ivanna is no longer the Ivanna I knew. There are many things that are different. She didn't respond when I called her name even repeatedly. Not only that. The physical changes were very significant, and it made me worried. And yesterday was the umpteenth time she lost consciousness and turned into something that started to make my brain think of things. "What happened to me?" the girl asked, having fainted for the umpteenth time and now regaining consciousness. I grabbed her fingers that were still tied to the bed. She looked at me with a different gaze, as if we no longer knew each other. Those two beautiful eyes of hers widened wildly as if they felt a terror that I couldn't read or feel. What Doctor Avery did was precisely what he should have done. She seemed to know that the symptoms Ivanna was experiencing were unnatural. Although it would be natural to know about the disease, Doctor Avery had said that she did not want to risk Ivanna running away if it turned out th
Jax's PoV I rushed back to the hospital to see Doctor Avery and asked Ayden to come. If it was confirmed that Ivanna was in the process of turning into a feral, she must not escape. Because during the blood moon, the feral's strength will increase, plus it is the time for them to look for prey. Based on Jason's statement, Ivanna's life is in danger. "What's going on, Jax? It seems very urgent," Ayden commented upon arriving at the hospital. Ivanna was still unconscious after being transformed into a half-terrible creature. "Do you know Ivanna's condition yet?" I asked back. He shook his head, then took out a small flashlight from his coat pocket and checked Ivanna's eyes and teeth. "Hmm ... I kinda recognize this kind of condition," he said, interrupted when Doctor Avery appeared and greeted us and did a further examination of Ivanna, and said the same thing as what Ayden had said earlier. "I don't understand why it's like this. I didn't do anything to aggravate her condition. I w
