This pull is strange, scary but amazing. The problem now is, how do I keep the most stubborn Vampire to ever exist safe without having a fight with her?

“Okay, sure. Leveled is disgusting. " “It sounds old," Ezekiel said. “People here are old, Ezekiel.” Maximo rolled his eyes. “I just realized that the people at the Sidee continent are too young. Luna's father was 30+ years old, right?” Zachary nodded. He looked at the paper and read out loud the details.“Yeah, he is. Anyway, A-ranked monsters are hard to find. It says here that they are big. Well, the monsters are getting bigger and bigger as they level up. We will gain 800 points for killing an A-ranked monster. For killing a boss, we will gain 1000 points Next is S-ranked monsters.

I watched Rhyker standing behind the counter and flipped the scrambled eggs with his pan, he was shirtless and wore a white apron with black joggers. He had one particular tattoo on the back of his neck, it's a drawing of a crown, the crown of Rosla. He whistled while making scrambled eggs. "Are you awake Hemilia? I'm sorry I wasn't in our bed, I wanted to make breakfast for you." He said not looking at me, I gawked at his strong and broad back that is able to give comforting hugs from him. "What's the special occasion?" I chuckled and walked toward him, he turned around and smiled.

I see your monsters, I see your pain. Tell me your problems, I'll chase them away. I 'll be your lighthouse, I'll make it okay. When I see your monsters, I'll stand out so brave and chase them all away He finishes strumming his guitar, and now he's looking directly into my eyes. I don't know if it is because of his power or not, but I feel my whole system is calming down whenever I am with him, even though he also betrays me.

"While that King sleeps in his high tower? While the man who framed you drinks champagne? They are calling you a child-killer, Aurelia. They are cheering for your death." I closed my eyes, seeing Kaelen’s cold face as he turned his back on me. I felt the slap from the Luna again. I felt the silver chain hitting my chest. The sadness started to drain away, replaced by a heat so intense it felt like my blood was turning into lava. "They think I'm a monster," I whispered. "So be the monster they fear," the wolf tempted. “Give me your soul. Let me into the cracks they broke in you. I will give you the strength to tear their world apart. I will give you the power to make them crawl."

His hand lifted, hovered just inches from the handle. If he turned it , if he stepped inside there’d be no undoing it. Not this time. He could finish what they started. Bury himself so deep inside that mouth, inside that want, that for a few hours, he wouldn’t have to think about betrayal and bloodlines and wedding vows. He could forget. But the thing about monsters was they followed you, even after the lights went out. And Rafael already knew, no matter how hard he tried to kill this thing between them, it wouldn’t stay buried.

Beneath the carved warning, four crude tally marks stood out. After a moment's thought, I took the utility knife and carved another stroke into my skin. Searching my pockets, I found a folded scrap of paper… and a few more hidden in the corners of my room. [The monster is tampering with my memory. Trust no one. Not even myself.] [The monster's cycle isn't endless. If you can't escape within a set number of loops, you will die. Permanently.]

The day that would have marked the beginning of a lifetime for us. Closing my eyes, I heaved a long exhale and propped my head against the headboard. Even though the curtained darkness of closed lids, it was her face was floated in—over and over again. It was the first time I realized that I might wear the skin of a monster, but my heart was still human. And I belonged to her. The pain that hit me came in waves. It clawed under my skin, infused with the blood in my veins, and drilled into the marrow of my bones until the ache made me hollow inside out.

She met my gaze, unwavering. “Because,” she said softly, “I’m starting to realize the monster isn’t really a monster.” I scoffed, looking away. “You don’t know what you’re talking about.” But Rae wasn’t finished. “Monsters don’t get broken over a lost friendship.” I clenched my jaw. “And monsters,” she added, “don’t save the girl who drives them crazy.” I finally looked at her. She was right in front of me now, close enough that I could feel the warmth of her presence.

“That thing is able to do that huh. I’ve never encountered it directly before, just passed by or seen from far away so I didn’t know. I have, however, seen some monsters that are capable of causing such conditions.” “You mean the pressure thing that I just felt?” “Yes, it’s similar to how people release a high concentration of astra or mana.
