She is a snake.A vicious snake who could suck the soul out of a person with just one look.To talk to her was a sacrifice of their lives. But it was Kohl.The cogent Basilisk blood in Raya enabled her to glimpse into the soul of the person who opened his wounds up and was at the brink of death. She reads him like an open book, her eyes were closed. His life was so interesting, especially the climax."What do you see?" Kohl asks the woman, sitting in front of her on the floor. He leans against the hut's rough structure and sighs with a glass of warm milk in his hand."He's fine, as long as he doesn't scream his lungs out as soon as he wakes up.""Why would he do that?" Kohl asks innocently."I'm half vampire, Kohl. What do you think?""He's just a delta wolf who slipped and fell from the castle, Raya. What makes you think he would hold such hatred towards you?" Raya Lule smirks at his statement. She stands on her feet, walking towards him and stopping mid-distance."He's not what you

"Fight a God? Who's the God here, Kohl!? Don't be delusional! She's just a Phoenix! She's like us, a creature of this planet! Don't compare her with someone omnipotent like... like a God!" At Lucien's desperate cries, Raya looks up at the man yelling his verdict on top of his lungs. She knew why he was yelling at his master. Because that was the only truth.And truth can be bitter."No..." Lucien sits back down, thudding against the poor wall structure. "Look, I've been very nice to a fool who's promised a fight to the strongest creature on earth. Heck! How could you be such an imbecile! And on top of that...a female Phoenix!? Do you not recognise the power difference a male and a female Phoenix have!?" "Are they differently powered with their genders!?" "Of course– argh! A female is far more powerful than a male. They are the few species on earth where the female population overpower the male. And coming to think of it...is she alone? Is she associated with another Phoenix? I am

Her eyes...They were like galaxies of hell. She breathed fire in his gut when they kissed. He should've known then. That fire engulfed him to no turning back. He was totally into her to notice her vicious intent before being consumed by the fire she kindled in his pit.It was of no use, the act of repenting. It was all gone.Taking a deep breath, Lucien allows himself to sink into the water and allow the blue reduce his own blue. He hoped that her fire would be extinguished today, in this stream as he reaches the bed of the stream quickly. It was slippery, as if suggesting him to fall into her again. But Lucien would not let it happen to him again.As he rose from the surface, he was a changed man.His promise to his masteer comes foremost than his extinguished love for his mate.If that was the case...why would he not reject her and move on from her?Even if his heart and mind allowed the 'moving on'...his wolf disagreed with him. Ever since the day of his marked betrayal from her,

He was asleep. Kohl puts a rough jute blanket on his sensitive upper body to cover him from the cold atmosphere. It shouldn't needed anytime close in the future, ever again. His skin has been very enduring till now. But just this once, Raya let's it happen, after knowing the rashes he's going to wake up with.She sees the old man's care in his actions. "Tell me," She begins,"When was the last time you took care of someone?" "A little boy...a few decades back. He was human too." Kohl answers her truthfully. The mules were pulling their cart after they've watched her house being destroyed by the villagers. She did not lie, she did not give home to the Human and the Werewolf. They were merely strangers in her long, almost immortal life.Her hut was burned down by a vampire of the village who served nothing but bad omen. He had a weird obsession with premature flesh of young girls. He enjoyed feasting on them every night.His obsession had started a few months back, where he also made

Well, he was panting like a dog. Shifting back into his human form, he had just one thing to say, "Don't ever...ever allow me to give you two a ride, ever again."Kohl laughs loudly and dismisses his words with a gentle wave of his hand. Raya shakes her head for the umpteenth time at the duo. She seemed to have calmed down."Well, I guess we did make it on time. In fact, we're early too. So why don't we go around a village for a while? Like a tour around to increase familiarity?""Sounds good to me." Kohl agrees to Raya's words. He peeks up on the village who had tight security, consisted of a human and a vampire. It should be a tough job, the Human thought. Lucien's panting adds as background as he feels his ruptured and textured skin on his back. He went too fast and they held his fur too tight. A few patches on his back hurt even after he changed into his human form. Although, he will be back to normal within a minute. "Okay...what district was this again?"Raya turns towards L
