The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 30 – The Night Children
(Cole’s POV)“Don’t ever think I don’t want you to be happy, brother,” Lucilla muttered sadly.Even without looking at who opened the door, she knew it was me, and without her inviting me, I stepped and entered her bedroom. While mine had been renovated into the modern bedroom style I wanted, my sister had kept hers classic. Hers was timeless and elegant, and all her bedrooms were never far from the ancient Greek and Roman designs, and she always placed antiques and relics to get the classic bedroom design she had always loved. She had never allowed anyone in this bedroom except me. Among our adopted siblings, only Aarush had the chance to see her room when he had to put stocks in her fridge, which sometimes Xian said that even Lucilla would deny; Aarush was her favorite.Lucilla was standing, facing a six-hundred-year-old oil painting of our family. She always had the habit of keeping one in her bedroom, and this painting somehow captured the best smiles of our family.As I stood bes
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 31 – It Was Not The Plan
(Cole’s POV)When I entered my bedroom, Brielle turned her head in my direction and smiled. It didn’t stop her, though, from preparing for the night; only she wasn’t preparing for a dinner date but for a long search in the woods for Monty, and if lucky, we would probably find Raven.I could not help licking my bottom lip as my eyes swept her from head to toe. Without breaking my gaze from her, I walked toward the bed and sat on the edge just right before her. She flickered her eyes at me but continued to zip the front button of her short romper jumpsuit, which the faux leather material hugged her hourglass body.“Do you really have to wear that?” I pressed my lips to suppress a smile and lay my back on the mattress, placing my hands behind my head to control myself from pulling her to me.“How else can I move fast, Cole?” she smirked, now wearing her black belt and holster.My eyes narrowed, memorizing every instrument she could use for attacking or defending herself, watching her mov
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 32 – Woods Surprise
(Brielle’s POV)It was a full moon.I looked heavenward, wishing the lunar disk was visible to the naked eye, but the clouds assembled above like puffs of cotton, only gray, blocking the moon’s luminescence to earth. Even the sparkling diamonds of stars were shielded, making it look like they were not interested in guiding us tonight on our journey in the dark woods. The full moon had always represented transformation with more intense-emotional energy, but as it hid in the clouds, it was challenging to see the trails snaking through the woods. It took my eyes to adjust in the dark, and I had to trust my other senses to walk the rich earth.No one dared to use the flashlight, but suddenly, the light brightened the ground, making the twisted aerial roots, twigs, and sprawling weeds visible to us. Gen hissed as if she was an animal or insect startled when she saw the light.“What? Flashlights are invented for times like this, you know,” Kione chuckled nervously as she explained.We wer
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 33 – What Are You
(Brielle’s POV)“Shit!” Gen cursed, moving quickly as six more vampires leaped to the ground.My eyes quickly glanced at everyone, and I must admit, Lucilla was very skilled, like her brother. She was near her sister, fighting those coming near Kione, but one burly man pushed Lucilla, causing her to fall to the ground a bit far from the one she was protecting.Kione screamed when a vampire pounced on her, but before the creature could grab her, she moved quickly to her side. Not used to the battleground, Kione cried for help as she fell to the earth, but those people who promised to protect her were busy fighting. She groped the ground and grabbed a rock, giving all her strength to strike it at her attacker. It hissed when she hit its face, but she shrieked, realizing it only angered her assailant. She went on all fours and crawled toward the tree, hoping to hide, but the vampire caught her foot.Gen jumped to the female vampire, pulling her hair and sticking her knife to its back, b
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 34 – No Need To Hide
(Brielle’s POV)Xian was already waiting on the porch, and as soon as Ichiro opened the gate, she ran in our direction. Her face was flooded with fear as she peeked her head to find him, chewing her bottom lip as she glanced at me, then at Gen. “Where’s Cole?” she asked worriedly, peering her head at the gate, even raising her heels when her tall siblings entered the private area. “Cole?” She was likely to cry as she looked for him.“I’m here,” Cole answered calmly as he walked past us.As soon as Xian saw him, she gasped, seeing the blood that mapped crimson on his shirt. The horror in her eyes could not be hidden as she met his eyes. I watched him raise his hand, smiling gently at her as he cupped her right cheek.“I’m fine. Don’t worry about me, Xian.” He glanced at Kione. “Scan Kione’s body. Make sure she’s okay. I’ll wait for you in the infirmary.”Kione did not fight in the woods, yet he worried about her. What was annoying, I was jealous he thought of her more than me since s
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 35 – Afraid, Not Terrified
(Brielle’s POV)If not for the pain reliever Xian gave me, I would probably not wink a bit. It was a long night for everyone, but I was alone in the hospital bed in their infirmary when I woke up. It was eerily quiet, but as I got up, it was the same time Aarush entered the door.“Good morning! Want breakfast? Lunch? Gen’s at the kitchen with Kione and Ichiro,” he smiled, glancing at me before turning his focus to the computer near my bed.I nodded as I climbed down from the bed. It was hard to see if it was night or day in the infirmary, but as I got to the living room, I realized it was almost midday. Not bothering to go to the kitchen, I dashed to the only room I wanted to go to, but as I was already in front of Cole’s door, I could not find the strength to touch the knob.Squeezing my eyes shut and taking a deep breath, I took much courage to open the door. I was sure he knew I was inside his bedroom, but Cole did not bother to turn around. He was standing, shirtless, at the open
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 36 – Your Willing Subject
(Brielle’s POV)As I listened to Cole telling me about the story of their great-great grandparents, Selene, the moonlight goddess, and Ambrogio, I thought it was nothing but a fictitious tale to entertain adults and scare children. Although the Order of the Orion had all these stories written in one book, nothing was said about their vampire children living on earth with different ideals. They were all the same; they created, drank their blood to be like them, and enslaved the ones they turned. There was no story about those kinds whom the gods blessed and were given a chance to live among people.There were stories about male vampires making their mortal wives pregnant, but none about them bearing offspring and living like ordinary humans if they wished to. According to Cole, their slow aging stopped them from living among them.“You’ve never bitten anyone in your life?” I asked curiously.He shook his head. “We take our rules seriously, Brielle. We can only take those which were don
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 37 – We Are Enemies
(Brielle’s POV)Perhaps my blood was pumping excitedly inside my body because my heart was thumping hard inside my chest. I didn’t give myself much chance to think whether it was right or wrong to offer my blood, but after what he did to me last night, saving and protecting me, I was willing to give even a part of my life and blood.“Bite me, Cole. I’m your willing subject,” I whispered.When I pressed my skin to his lips, he grabbed my wrist, and before I could even wink, he was already in front of me, opening his mouth and baring his fangs, ready to bite me. Cole leaned my head to the side, and willingly, I gave him access to my neck and shoulders.My eyes closed, feeling his warm breath on my neck, and before I could recoil, he buried his fangs in my flesh. I thought of scary images of vampires sucking blood from their victims, but it was only for a few seconds because instead of feeling the pang from his sharp teeth, I was in ecstasy.I was his willing subject, but I never thought
