Chapter one hundred and twenty six. Anastasia's POV.Nicholas is next to me, his eyes checking at me through the corners, and I smile at myself, inwardly of course. I acted as though I didn't know. As a vampire, he could know that I know, but as long as he isn't talking about it, I don't care. Soon, we arrive in front of a new door. Nicholas opens the new door yet again with his mind. "I see it's something of the norm here." "You all don't know how to open doors with your hands?" I ask with a little sarcasm in my tone, and he chuckles. "Well, well," is all he states as he smiles. "Please..." his voice trails off again as he stretches his hand forward for me to take. I squint my eyes with hesitation before heading in, but then, after a few seconds of staring into his eyes and noticing that he's only just smiling at my childish act, I walk inside. This space is dim, with a few scented candles spread out. I wandered my eyes around, not seeing much, but at least I was able to see a
Chapter one hundred and twenty seven. Anastasia's POV. Do you remember that time when you were typing on your phone and you needed your hands to dry so you could type faster, but then that's when you'd start feeling the sweats coming on and you'd try to control them, but it would be impossible? And the more you fight against it, the more your palms have reason to want to sweat the more. Funny for someone who is a writer and is a palm-sweater, if that makes sense as a meaning for it. Anyway, what happened in my thoughts is exactly what happened to Nicholas. Although, now, he is leading the way to my room. He walks beside me, his eyes gazing downward. I feel somewhat judgmental about his feelings, more like I may have caused them. I mean, I did prompt him to act like that, but if I learned anything tonight, it is that he really does not want to hurt me, at least not physically. We are close to the hallway, and around the corner is where the door to my room is. Oh, yes, back to what
Chapter one hundred and twenty eight. Chapter. Nicholas's POV. It is two weeks, three days, and five hours after the dinner with Anastasia. My monster and I, as much as we never agreed on what happened that night, and despite my annoyance at him for losing control and almost drinking from her when we both know he cannot control it, we are glad that, in a sense, we have been able to make her see us as something other than a demon, which she used to believe before. Now, I am in my room, awaiting the arrival of my brothers. The Brother's Feast is tonight. It is finally here. It is finally happening tonight. By the way, Enit'ayanf is still here, so I am not bothered by him. And to be honest, I know the others would arrive early except for Cornelius, Raven, and Cyrus, who are bosses of their own and like to give me some pain in the ass. I have worn my wooden trousers and put on the black shoes. I am wearing the shirt when the door opens. My sense of smell took over, and without e
Chapter one hundred and twenty nine. Anastasia's POV. I can't help but think of how he could have gotten in contact with me. I mean, this phone isn't supposed to reach anyone else but the vampires around me, and not even just any vampire around me, but the one I am familiar with, so this is just a great shocker that he could reach me. I placed the phone close to my ears again, and this time I could only hear his hard breathing. It made me guess he is very pissed, like, palm-twitchingly pissed...at me? Who knows? "Cole Hunter?" I sound more like I'm affirming than asking for confirmation, and I have a low voice. "I see you have refused to use the object given to you, and tonight is the night these dead beings ought to die. Finally, you have cast yourself as one of them, Anastasia, and for that, I am deeply ashamed of your existence. You're a traitor to everyone in your race, and you must know that. With that said, if you're never allowed to be seen with any human ever again,
Chapter one hundred and thirty. Nicholas's POV. My legs dive through the air, my body heading towards the scene of the fight. At this point, in my mind, I knew I'd had enough with Cole Hunter. I won't let him bother me again, and at this stage, I have a way to achieve that. And that's also why I'm trying not to let Anastasia know anything about it, as I know that if she found out, she would want to stop me. Anyway, arriving at the scene of the fight, I soon sense that Hillary and Enit'ayanf are already diverting their attention from my behind. They are heading to find Cyrus and Raven individually while I focus on Cornelius. Sooner than later, I see his vehicle in the distance. As fascinated and astonished as I am by thr fact thay I cannot snell his scent neither can I connect with him because of the content infused in the air, however, I make my way towards hin and arriving there, once he sees mu presence, the idiot smirks. "And how did you find me, brother?" He smirks even hard
Chapter one hundred and thirty. Nicholas's POV. I wait. Wait for some more seconds. A few more seconds, and I'd do what I wanted to. Cole Hunter is getting closer to me, and I just wait for him. When I see that he is so near, I release another thunder from the sky. Iris blue lit up the sky, giving a dangerous spark. It soon began to turn towards him, and when he saw it, he quickly changed positions. When I see that he has been forced to divert, I use that as a chance to change my route as well. I grab him by the neck and rip one side of his neck with my claws. He screams within a second from the pain, but is quick to regain his stance. Shifting away from me, I want to quickly turn towards him again and attack him when he hits his hand on the ground and the earth beneath me turns into a liquid that it starts to swallow. I couldn't run anymore, no matter how hard I tried. When I see that I'm sinking into the ground, I bend the sky once again, erupting another sort of lightning t
Chapter one hundred and thirty two. Nicholas's POV. I chuckled, and it was dark. The hunting spirit inside Cole Hunter is quite a stubborn one that won't relent even after getting a lot of beatings from me. I head over towards him again and slam my fist into his face. He has almost shifted away from there, but I was very fast. Afterward, from nowhere, he yanks out a metal object in the form of a ring, and surrounding it are pointed edges. Before I could see it coming, he'd gotten a side of his ribs cut. I am still feeling the sizzling pain as the object burns my skin like some meat in hot vegetable oil. "Woah...cool." I tell him with a raging tone and by raising my tone, and I see that he's coming for me again. This time around, I smirk, and then, changing my position as though I wanted to crouch, I slide through the ground and use my legs as the surprise attack, cutting off his own stance from the ground. As he is losing touch with the ground, I stand upright, and with a mild
Chapter one hundred and thirty three. Nicholas's POV. I have just witnessed the Hunter King kill him, making the job of getting him out of my way very easy. There are some things about the supernatural creatures, brought about by our rules and the nature of life, that make some things really absurd when you think about them.If the Hunter King was one who didn't follow the rules of hunting, or whatever the name of that book of law was that they followed, he could have waited for him to become a vampire, and with having been a hunter before, he'd only be a hybrid that way. And although he would become one of the weakest hybrids ever since the combination of the bite would cause a contraction between his hunting spirit and the dead mind of a killing spirit, But that apart, it would give him enough power over me, as a hybrid, to kill me faster, and there, he has achieved what he wanted to. And afterward, he will kill himself if he feels he doesn't want to be fed by anyone.But he would
