He wasn’t sure if it's going to work but Zev punctured his fangs, deeply into Layla’s skin. The mark he left before bathed in blood as he kept digging his sharp teeth on her shoulder. The bleeding continued whenever he drilled through her flesh. Zev could taste Layla’s blood filled with poison, yet he didn’t care at all. He only wanted to get rid of all the toxic in her body and while doing it, he thought strengthening their bond wouldn’t be bad. “Ugh!” Layla groaned, probably because of the pain brought by his bites. Zev wanted to pierce his fangs on her neck where her blood would be easily extracted, but it would be more painful. His teeth were made to tore flesh and not to suck blood like vampires. Since Layla could heal her wounds even without his help, he settled on perforating her shoulder instead. “Your majesty, you’ll get affected by the poison if you keep doing that,” Leviu

“You promised!” Layla yelled at Levius. After Zev’s recovery, the man decided to take a stroll outside. She took the chance to have a conversation with Levius who promised her the answers to her questions. However, the guy was set to turn a deaf ear on her. “How could you get back on your words? I trusted you!”Levius heaved a sigh which made the creases on Layla’s forehead deeper. “You trusted me?” The guy shot her a suspicious look.“Why else would I approach you about it? I know you could give me answers, and I’m expecting you wouldn’t turn your back on a promise,” Layla stated. The perfect time to confirm her doubts was when Zev’s still away. She was dying to know how possibly she could be one of his kind. The worst part was her memory of what happened on a particular night. She knew she had to trust her instinct more than anyone and anything else but what she thought she was at that moment was something her mind and conscience couldn’t easily a

Layla whimpered when her back landed on the soft bed. It was comfortable, and she loved the feeling only if no one’s on top of her, pinning her under. She was about to push the Zev away from her, but he moved faster and pulled away from the kiss.“There’s no turning back, little Layla,” the man muttered while staring at her eyes. “You started this,” he added and fondled her face.“I…” Layla couldn’t continue what she wanted to say. After all, Zev was right. She was the one who kissed him first otherwise the man wouldn’t do the same. The years she spent in the dungeon made her learn how men would deal with their opposite sex, especially in a secluded corner where the walls and the floors were cold and the body needed more heat. Zev was a man, a demon, and a beast who probably wanted the same experience when alone with a woman like her.“Hmm?” Zev leaned closer and blew air to her neck, sending more chills to her already frozen nerves

*CRASH*The loud noise filled the room whenever Zev threw anything he grabbed from the bedside table towards the person who disturbed him. He didn’t care who it was. The guy ruined his mood and he wanted to vent his anger to anyone but the lady who was shivering badly beside him.“Get out!” He yelled and snatched the last vase left on the table. He threw it right on his target’s face who didn’t even try to dodge his attack. “Tsk!” Zev clicked his tongue in annoyance when his subordinate dared not to flee after what he did. He sighed and let his back fall on the bed while Layla remained speechless on the side, her body still trembling in fear as the blood from her severed arm kept oozing out.“What do you have, Lucian?” Zev asked with his eyes focused on the lady who cowered down her head. “Forget it if it's nothing important, otherwise, don’t waste my time and just say it,” he added without giving a single glance at the guy. He reac

‘He knows…’ Zev was rendered speechless. He tried to hide the shock he felt, but his expression gave him away. He could only wonder how someone like Levius knew something that shouldn’t be known. It was his deepest secret as well as his weakness. Once his enemies knew about how incapable he could be when it comes to killing his opponent, it would definitely be used against him in the future fight. And that was the least Zev wanted them to know. His kingly temperament was enough to get anyone on their knees yet the mask he had been wearing for years could be exposed at any time. It was something he didn’t consider before, thinking it would take another century for him to break free from the curse...or maybe not at all for the rest of his life. Unexpectedly, the person whom he almost entrusted his fate in exchange for getting rid of the curse actually knew about his secret.“What do you mean by that?” Zev asked, testing the waters. He was interested to find out whethe
