LOGINEvaWhen the explosion finally stops, I quickly get off Liam's body, unable to stop looking at him with a deep blush on my face.Ah... Damn it! Why did I have to think about his lips kissing mine right now? I need to stop thinking about that! Enough already!"Eva, your hair..." Liam quickly gets up, looking at me with great concern."Damn it, what a mess."Moving away from Liam, who was trying to help me, I take off my coat and the shirt I'm wearing underneath, using those clothes to put out the flames still burning in my hair."Eva, are you okay? That looks extremely painful. Do you want me to call an ambulance or something?"After the explosion, my back and arms are covered in burns, but I don't feel any pain. Because of my Dhampir nature, fire doesn't really hurt me that much. It barely even stings. The burns are already beginning to heal thanks to my natural regeneration."Don't exaggerate," I reply, still putting out the flames in my hair. "It'll only take a second to heal. I don
Eva"So, you live in the old Moonridge pack security building now?" Liam asks curiously."It was a gift," I reply curtly."From Nicolae Moonridge? I never would have imagined that. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who likes vampires.""My sister gave it to us. She provided us with a place to live."I suppose that's only half the truth. Although Lily pressured her fiancé into giving us the building so we could make it our home, I know Nicolae did it because he feels guilty. He still regrets not being able to protect me, which led to my death and subsequent transformation into a Dhampir.Nicolae's guilt and Lily's love for me were the reasons they handed the building over to Alric for our clan."Yeah, that sounds like something Liliana would do," Liam replies softly."She has a very big heart...""She does, especially when it comes to you. Even though you aren't related by blood, she treats you more like her sister than she treats me.""Jealous?" I ask with a little smile."Of co
EvaFeeling fed up with this guy's jokes and comments, I grab him by the neck with all my strength, trying to intimidate him into giving me back the USB drive. However, Liam shows no fear. He simply flashes that same stupid, arrogant smile again."Relax, bloodsucker. It's not like I'm going to steal it from you," Liam says with some difficulty."Then give me the device back. I'm not playing around. I'll break your neck," I threaten furiously."Are you sure about that?"Just as I expected, Liam didn't come to such a dangerous place all by himself. Five werewolves emerge from the shadows and surround us, all ready to pounce on me if I try to hurt their cowardly leader.This is getting so irritating..."Listen, we have the same goal, all right?" Liam asks, placing one hand on my arm. "Let go of me, and I'll explain everything."Although I was still doubtful because of my anger, I let go of Liam's neck. After coughing a couple of times, he began explaining why he'd come to that club, tell
EvaMy heart starts pounding, beating much faster than it has in the past few months since I was transformed. I'm standing very close to Liam, his handsome face almost touching mine, while his muscular body pins me against the wall.He makes me nervous. I've seen scenes like this a thousand times in romance movies, but now that it's happening to me, all I want to do is punch Liam and run away. It's way too embarrassing!Wrapping one arm around my waist, I feel Liam lower his lips to my neck, where he begins kissing my skin.My eyes widen, and I let out a gasp of surprise because every kiss he places on my sensitive skin feels like fire. They literally burn, but they don't hurt at all... I'd never felt anything like this before.Liam brushes a few strands of my hair behind my ear before giving my neck a playful bite. When I feel him do that, I can't suppress a gasp, and my hands shakily move to his shoulders."You're pretty good at this, almost like an expert," Liam jokes against my ea
EvaI go blank for a second... Discovering that this club is full of werewolves explains a lot, such as their irritation toward me from the very first moment they saw me, or the way they looked at me with contempt. They always knew I was a vampire."Aren't vampires supposed to have an enhanced sense of smell, just like wolves?" Liam asks."We do.""Then how come you didn't realize this place was full of werewolves? Are you crazy or something?"I remain silent because explaining the whole reason might be a little complicated, so I simply prefer to keep quiet for a moment.Dhampirs are half-vampires. We don't develop all the abilities of vampires. In my case, I don't have a good sense of smell. I'd never really missed it... Until now.Ignoring Liam's questions and how annoyed he looks, another question comes to mind. If this is a club for "evil" werewolves, what was Alexander doing visiting this place regularly over the past few months?"I think I should leave," I whisper softly."Yes,
EvaWhen Aaron reveals my identity as a vampire, a tense silence falls between us. Everyone's eyes turn toward me as if I were some kind of freak, making me feel somewhat threatened."Of course she's not a vampire," Liam says quickly."Is your sense of smell defective?" Aaron asks with slight annoyance. "Your 'girlfriend' reeks of bloodsucker from a mile away. It's obvious she's one of them."Once again, everyone throws murderous looks my way, so furious that, for a second, I want to run away because my instincts are screaming that this is getting more and more dangerous. However, acting as if everything is perfectly normal, Liam holds my hand, preventing me from doing anything else."Interestingly enough, that's also a misunderstanding. My beloved girlfriend..." Liam glances at me."Adele..." I whisper, remembering my fake name."My beloved girlfriend, Adele," Liam continues, playing along. "She works regularly with some vampires. As you know, the Moonridge pack has had certain busin
