The nightclub was packed with more people than I thought. I tried to push my way through the room, several guys tried to flirt with me, but i just shrugged them off and headed towards the bartender's lounge. When I got there, I was surprised that no one was sitting at the seats available. A man as tall as I am, was cleaning a glass. He had pale skin and black hair that unusually stood up from the crowd. When he saw me approaching, he smiled, "New here?" "Yes?" My eyebrow furrowed, and I sat down anyway. He gave a light chuckle before putting the glass down. "If you're wondering how I could tell, it's obvious. People don't usually hang around in a bartender's lounge here. They like grinding with other bodies more than drinks. Now, what could I get you, my lady?" When the air somehow cleared for some reason, my nose picked up a vampire's scent coming from the bartender's body. I glanced at him, and he just smiled, but this time showing his fangs.

"Dead?" His eyes widened."Yeah, she passed away long ago. Only a few people must've known, seeing that even the information guild wasn't able to find that out." I replied.If the Rohan Information guild is going so far as to find my mom, the client must be an important individual.I looked at the portrait that I held with both hands. Mom looked so healthy and young that year, no one would've anticipated her death- not even my father.It was also the year that I lost everything important to me.When i recalled those memories, I was surprised when I felt tightness around my chest. This feeling has been occurring to me lately that i can't help but feel relentless."Are you okay?""Yeah... it's nothing." I replied, out of breath and sighed in dismay. "What did the client ask for specifically? Why is she trying to find my mother?""We're not sure yet. Our guild isn't the only organization that's trying to find your mother. Guilds a

"Look, Ryan. When did I ever need someone to cover up for me? Do I look that weak to you?"He sighs, "You know that's not what I meant, isn't it natural for us to be worried? We're your only family.""Family? Stop joking. We're not even blood-related.""So what?" He says in a serious tone, "You're like a sister to me, whether you don't want to be. It's just how I see you. That also applies to Alpha Shaka. I'm sure he treats you like his own daughter."I averted his gaze, "I don't know. I've long forgotten how 'family' exactly works."The days when I lived with my parents were a blurry memory. All I could remember was the nightmare when mom died. The eyes of despair and her loving smile that she displayed when she took her last breath.At that time, I was just a child. Young Venus wasn't prepared to lose the meaning of 'family.'"How have you been doing?" Ryan asks, and I turn to look at him."You mean the mission?""I me

Ryan gasps upon hearing it. But even before he could react, I stomped on his feet discreetly to shut him up. He groaned in pain and cussed out."Shut up!" I whispered, which he nodded in return.I glanced at the two and saw Derek's body stiffened. He kept on staring at me with a face filled with shock, so I took that chance to put Ryan in my room before he bursts out of rage.I quickly closed the door. As my back rested on the wood behind me, It was only then I realized how bad the situation had turned out to be. I tilted my head in confusion as I strode towards Ryan."Why am I acting so random? I can't believe I kept on saying nonsense even when I don't want to."Ryan coughs. "You know what, before talking to yourself, why can't you just heal me for god's sake!""Right," I chuckled and apologized.Alpha Shaka must be waiting for him by now. He's been gone for too long. If he sees Ryan like this, I'm worried that he'll make thin

*AUTHOR's POV*   Derek couldn't explain it. But as he savored each part of her skin, his senses started to heighten even more. The scent of Rosewood Vanilla, pulling him closer to her.  He wanted to get rid of Ryan's scent, so he hungrily licked her all over the place, She began to moan in pleasure as she felt Derek's finger play with her clit in alternating speed. When passion brought her to climax, he watched her closely with a satisfied smirk. "Don't be shy. I know you can moan louder than this."  Venus's eyebrow furrowed, "What?" She does admit that she was holding her moans to herself, but to think that Derek
