The soft cushion made Zev feel comfortable while sitting. He had the urge to sleep but knowing he shouldn’t she changed his position. It was all thanks to Layla who kept him wide awake almost the whole night. He was lucky to get a nap in the dawn when she was finally sleeping soundly. He found out that if he wanted to have a good sleep, he should be sleeping away from her.Speaking of which, Zev was also asking himself why he let that troublesome lady stay close with him. He shouldn’t mind it when it comes to other things but sleeping. He may seem the type to have anything he wanted but ever since he was cursed, he lost interest in anything aside from freedom. He hadn’t slept with anyone else before too. That night when he met and exchanged a few dialogues with Layla, was that same night when he fell asleep with someone beside him, and she was a woman. How rare was that?However, he wouldn’t deny that the lady’s presence was somehow soothing his rag

*cough cough cough*Layla’s hard coughing could be heard throughout the kitchen. She was sitting on the chair while hugging her knees. She wasn’t trying to boast something earlier when she decided to jump off but the consequences were somehow intolerable. The young lady realized she might catch a cold again.“Truly, regret is always in the end,” she whispered, wrapping the blanket tightly around her. She was grateful when Zev took her out of the water right after she fell on the river. She didn’t stop sneezing until they got home and even started to cough.‘Ah. This isn’t the first time I coughed but the I’m feeling a little better right now,’ she thought. Why wouldn’t she feel like that when someone was there to take care of her? Actually, Zev didn’t mean to take care of her at all. He just happened to promise a treat so he was doing his best to cook something.Layla watched her master focusing on a book he was hol

The breeze became colder. Zev was patiently waiting for Layla who had gone hunting for her dinner. It had been a few hours and the sun was about to set yet there was no sign of the young lady.‘Is it that hard for her to hunt something? I should have taught her how to hunt birds first,’ Zev thought as he leaned his back on the tree trunk. In front of him was a pile of unconscious boar he caught in a swift attack earlier. He stared at his loot blankly. A few decades ago, he would be contented to eat boar’s meat during his meal. Until he was cursed by the deity. He couldn’t get satisfied with the animal’s flesh. Although he could still eat them, they wouldn’t be enough to fill his hunger. And that’s when he started to prey on humans. Especially those hunters whom he would encounter back then. His life completely changed when he started to find pleasure in human flesh.“Master!” It was Layla. She was running out of breath as she ran towards him with a

Zev took a deep breath. He intended to get Layla drunk but he didn’t expect it to be so fast. She only had a couple of glasses of wine and she was already crying her heart out. For whatever reason, he would like to know but before that, he already prepared several questions to ask her.“Hey, little Layla. Do you want to drink more?” He asked her. The young lady was hugging the wine glass she was drinking from earlier.“Yes, please.” Zev could no longer count how many times Layla said the same phrase. “Give me more,” she added while handing out her glass.“Sure, sure,” he replied as he poured her glass. “You can have as much as you want. Isn’t that nice?”Layla nodded her head. He sighed. Zev had never expected him to do such a trick just to gather information. He watched the lady emptied her glass one after another. He waited for another hour before he started questioning her.“Layla, do you know so

The Wesley's was always proud and never letting anything trivial hinder their plans. Zev Wesley was the only one left in his clan as he was trapped in the Verte peninsula by the guardian deity, he spent decades within the invisible bounds while his kinsmen were helplessly slaughtered by the blood clan. He had a vague idea about what happened outside the peninsula until one of the guard wolves who served the upper ranked Weres came to his mansion and begged for his protection as he told him what happened to the others.With Layla beside him, Zev thought he could ruin the enemy’s plan. He was determined to use the young lady against the vampire lord who seemed to have a delicate affection towards his prey. Zev was always careful with his plans. He was born with a manipulative mind, beastly strength, and demonic powers. And he thought he could swallow everything within his reach. However, little did he expect, Layla’s devastated state would move his frozen heart. For t
