Zev’s heart seemed to jump out of his chest. He never thought he would feel so overwhelmed the way he did when Layla returned his feelings. The doubts in his mind were clearing away as his resolve to keep Layla by his side had gotten stronger. He wasn’t lying when he said he’d fight against anyone for Layla. And his desire to have her for himself was fired up after she told him she felt the same. Zev brushed off any thoughts unrelated to Layla and decided to focus on her alone at the moment.He held her hands and pinned them down over her head as he aimed for her lips. Zev started by kissing her gently as he slowly changed the pace every time Layla got used to his touch. They shared a deep, passionate kiss for minutes until they could barely breathe. He watched Layla gasped for air the second he let go of her lips and took the chance to continue kissing her right after she inhaled again.The sweetness on her lips was never-fading like there was a sugar factory be

Clouds gathered around the full moon, and thunders roared across the sky. The lightning kept striking the ground while the timbers in the forest burned. Fire scattered rapidly to every tree and wild grasses. Zev was standing still as he watched everything slowly turned into ashes, leaving his old self alone in deep sorrow and regret after realizing what he did.“Zev! ZEV!” It was the deity Layla’s voice, calling his old self in the midst of the burning woods. She was in tears when she stumbled on the dead bodies on the ground. Holding her chest in pain, she lifted her head to see Zev kneeling, his body covered in blood. “Zev!” Layla exclaimed and came rushing to the man who was in a daze.“What have you done?! You promised me!” Layla cried, hitting his chest with her delicate fists. She was trembling as she continued blaming him. “The forest is burning. Leave,” she told him and tried to drag him back to his feet. “Zev Wesley! Are you listening to me

Layla’s eyes widened when she felt a piercing pain going through her chest. She subconsciously pushed Zev away and propped herself up. The flames surrounding them which weren’t there a few moments ago reminded her of a past she thought she’d long forgotten. She grabbed the satin cloth she put aside earlier and slid inside it. Layla tried to be calm despite the disturbing heat caused by the fire. “Zev, let’s get out of here,” she said and pulled the man up, dragging him with all her strength. “I don’t know what’s going on, but we need to leave,” Layla added in utter panic. Her eyes kept wandering around, looking for a way out. The trees and bushes nearby kept burning, and the only place left unaffected was the stream. Layla tugged Zev by the arm and headed to the river to jump, but Zev stood still on the ground. “What are you doing?!” Layla shrieked impatiently. She wasn&

Layla’s scream was dissolved in the air. Time seemed to stop for her when she saw how Zev received the impact from Levius’ attack. Her heart stopped beating for a second before the basement blasted into smithereens, leaving her and Levius on the safe side while the others who were caught up with the explosion ended up severely injured. “Zev!” Layla shouted. The smoke was too thick, and she couldn’t see anything. “Levius! Let go of me! I said, let go of me!” She struggled in his hold, but her effort was pointless. Levius turned a deaf ear on her and continued shooting the same energy call, causing the earth to rumble because of its powerful impact. She tried to warn him, but failed. It seemed like Levius was using some spell that made them invisible somehow. Zev knew she was there but couldn’t hear her at all. And even with how loud she screamed, he didn’t show any reaction and was still c

“How stubborn. This young deity seems not satisfied with what you’ve arranged for her fate.” “Now, don’t start blaming me here. It took me a few decades to have them meet each other. I’m doing the best I can!” “Yeah? But you chose a hard path for our little deity. She was sincere with her feelings and the werewolf guy loves her. They deserve to be happy!” “Well, why don’t you leave them alone? Maybe they’ll find happiness when they no longer love each other. Sometimes, I think it’s all because you let them fall in love, that’s why they have to suffer.” “Nope, it's not my fault. They love each other and I love them too. I made sure to strengthen their bond no matter how difficult their life would be. Just like what I have said, you should be generous enough and let them be together as much as they want!&rdq
