Layla’s back was embedded in Zev’s head as he watched her leave. He was frozen on the spot when he heard what she said. Surprisingly, he thought what she said made sense. Sooner or later, Layla may betray him. However, as long as that day hadn’t come yet, he could still put her under his control. But she was not like any ordinary women served at his table, she was alive and had survived because of her greed. There was no way she would easily bow down to anyone and if she really did, it would be just a facade to hide her real intention. It was that possibility that made him careful around her. He was into her hidden strength at one point and then suddenly changed his mind after some time. After all, Zev still couldn’t control himself of his own volition. He tended to do some things against his will, Nah, it was better to call it his another personality, and it was because of the curse binding his soul. The curse that made him go beyond human and beast and probably more than just beco

Growls and grunts brought Zev back to his senses. The pain he felt was gone although there was something in his chest which made him uncomfortable. He ignored the weird sensation and pulled himself up. There was no one beside him and the broken glass scattered around caught his attention.“Ugh…” He groaned when he felt dizzy. He was sure the symptoms were due to the poison in his body. It had been a few days since he was infected from Layla’s bite and so many things had happened which made him forget about extracting the poison out of his system. Not that he had some ways to do it, but trying should have lessened the pain.“Ah!” A guttural scream coming from outside alarmed Zev. To his surprise, it sounded like Lucian’s voice. He remembered giving the latter a task to complete and knowing that he’s back could mean that he either completed it or that he failed, so he returned to give him the details.‘What’s going on?’ Zev wondered a

The sweet fragrance of various flowers filled Layla’s nostrils as she relaxed in the lukewarm water. She opened her eyes slowly and Zev’s pretty face was the first thing she saw. They were so close to each other and the good thing was that he was sleeping. She squinted her eyes for a bit to make sure she wasn’t dreaming. She wasn’t satisfied until she felt the pain on her thigh when she pinched herself. There were no flowers around, only burning torches and dry clothes neatly placed on the table in the corner of the room, but the flowery scent was only getting stronger. It almost made her lose consciousness again. It was too fragrant that could make anyone feel dizzy after inhaling it in a short time.‘Where am I? Zev’s bathroom?’ She pondered as she checked the environment. Layla was surprised to find herself in a tub and that… she was bathing with the man. Her eyes narrowed as she moved away slowly from him, hoping he wouldn’t wake up. Or sh

Pale face, trembling lips, and trying to avert his gaze while gasping, Zev knew Lucian was hiding something from him. And whatever that was, he’d make him spill it out. Zev took a deep breath and glanced at the guy’s chest. “Are you hiding something?” He grinned. “Of course you do. You’re breathing unevenly… you’re not lying to me, but you ain’t telling everything.”Lucian sucked in his breath before exhaling the air he just inhaled. “Your Majesty, I…” he stuttered, still contemplating whether to reveal his secret or not. “I… I have a twin brother,” Lucian continued.Zev frowned. ‘Twin brother?’ He shrugged. “Oh? What does it have to do with your investigation?” He had an idea, but he preferred to hear it from the guy. “Don’t make me ask you every time. I don’t have enough time to keep you company tonight. Just tell me what you know,” Zev lifted his crossed his legs, and waited for the guard wolf to talk.“Your Majesty, I have a twi

Zev felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. He didn’t have to check what’s causing it. There was no doubt, it was the mark Layla gave her. Good thing, Layla was there to ease the pain. Just like his Alpha’s mark, the mark she left on him seemed to have the same purpose; to bind the alpha and his mate. It was a visible vow between the two fated Weres. A mark that could strengthen the bond between them. Zev had always wondered how could someone like Layla existed without other Were clans knowing. He should have remembered her around when he was still not cursed, yet he heard nothing about a female white Were, and she’s even a Werewolf just like him.He stared at her green eyes and spoke, “Aren’t you afraid to get burnt by the flame you lit? If you wish to continue, you have to be well-prepared.” Zev waited for the young lady’s reply, but he was disappointed. Layla gave him a cold look before turning her back on him. She was about to get off him when he tugged her on the ar
