2024-10-29 19:42:56The loud noises of people and horses from the main street filled Layla’s ears. She only slept like a couple of hours and was left with no choice but to wake up already. She could never go back to sleep again as the noises were only getting louder.
“Argh! The sun hasn’t shown up yet! Can’t these people see the bright moon still hanging in the sky? There are stars, too. How can they be up so early?” Layla complained, hiding her face between the pillows. She tried covering her ears with her hands and even wrapped her head with a thick blanket, but it was no good, the random voices kept adding up, her head was about to explode.“AHHHHHHHH!” She screamed in frustration. Thankfully, her voice didn’t come out as loud as she imagined because of the pillows and blanket covering her face. Upon the sudden realization, she pulled herself up and sat on the bed before screaming for the second time.“AHHHHHHHH!!!” It was the loudest she could manage, letting out her fRelated chapters

“Don’t you dare!” was what came out of Layla’s mouth out of desperation. She thought she’d be done for when Lucian was all prepared to attack. His sharpened nails were only a few inches away from her face. In the depth of her mind, Layla didn’t want to get hurt even a bit and her wish came true when her voice came out, saying words that totally aligned with what she wanted to say.Lucian was startled when she yelled at his face that he fell on his knees. He glared at Layla who started rubbing her temple to ease the pain she’s feeling. “I thought you want me to kill you,” Lucian muttered, shaking his head in exasperation. “It was not easy but since you begged, I’d love to do it…and here you are, changing your mind at the last second.”“You’re insane! What if you really killed her? His Majesty wouldn’t just kill you but would probably take his time shredding your flesh and feed them to wild wolves,” Boris said, holding his chest while sweating heavily. “Come on! Th

Layla felt her body starting to numb. She tried to move but could barely do so as it seemed like her limbs were tied, she couldn’t feel her lower part where the numbness was concentrated. She opened her eyes in bewilderment to find herself in a strange yet familiar place. There was nothing much inside the room where she’s locked up other than the door in front of her and a small window guarded by rails on her right.‘The dungeon?’ she asked herself in horror. By simply thinking about the terrible place where she used to live, the old wounds she got were opened up. Fear crept into her system as an agonizing chill that even the numbest she felt couldn’t get rid of it crawled through her skin. ‘What happened? Why am I here?’ Layla pondered, racking her brain- recalling what exactly happened that led her to be grounded in such a dissolute place again.She was in deep thought while breathing heavily when the clattering sound from the outside was heard. Layla was too w

Layla knew how painful it would be when getting injuries from whipping and kicking she had when she was still a prisoner in the dungeon. She thought nothing could hurt even more than the beating she got. However, meeting Zev was a thing after another. He didn’t physically abuse her by himself instead, he kicked her to the abyss all over again, having her get used as she got through the darkness in the world. Layla thought she gained nothing but pain and nightmares from those events… It was only when Victor locked her up in a room that reminded her how long it took her to escape from that she finally recovered her senses.Pain rushed throughout Layla’s body. The numbness that saved her for a while was gone, no trace of it left. To her dismay, she had to endure the throbbing in her ankles, probably because of getting her feet cut. She was a bit glad to know it was done cleanly, perhaps with a sharp blade. The cut was also even which she would probably appreciate if only it w

The sound of footsteps rushing to the room where Layla was still lying down alerted her. She had a hunch that her crazy howl might have reached Victor or anyone else, causing her another trouble to resolve. Just like what she assumed, the problems seemed to keep coming to her. After solving one, another one or more would show up.‘All right! So what if I turned into a beast? This should be my plan anyway,’ Layla said to herself, convincing the cowardice residing within in. She knew she’d be in a little advantage if she’s in her beast form but never did she expected that it’s mind-blowing to do it while she’s aware. If she hadn’t seen her chopped off feet on the floor and not connected on legs which turned into a wolf’s hind legs anyway, Layla would have believed that she was healed and recovered. Well, she still believed she was, especially when she didn’t turn out with just two legs when wolves were supposed to have four. Therefore, she concluded that her legs might grow

The look on Darius’ face was more hilarious than how Layla imagined. His brows were raised high on top of his forehead, eyes sunken on the sides of his nose bridge, his nostrils were like caves opening- everything inside seemed visible through its holes, and his mouth formed a perfect ‘o’ shape with his teeth showing. Layla would have not ever thought such expression existed if she didn’t see it with her eyes and she had no idea how he managed to do it. She was preparing herself for a burst of laughter when she noticed a few changes on the guy’s face.“Hey, Darius. What are you looking so intently with my feet? Yes, you heard it right. That’s mine,” Layla said, wiggling her tail to let the guy know she’s still waiting and was really impatient at the moment. “Stop staring at it. Get moving now and let’s start discussing your deal,” she added in a hurry.As much as Layla wanted to make fun of the guy, she couldn’t unless she’d secure her escape. Besides, Victor mig

The torch started to run out of oil. It wouldn’t be able to provide light any minute. But that’s not what made Layla worried, instead, the sinister smile on Darius’ face was making her skin crawl. She felt a sudden familiarity from the guy as if she had met him before aside from their encounter the day before in front of the candy stall. Unfortunately, Layla couldn’t put a finger on it. She could only ask him for his true identity and hope to get an answer.“Didn’t you just call me ‘Darius’? That should be my name, right?”Layla should have already been convinced and wouldn’t bother doubting his words if he said it earlier. After observing the guy, she noticed his change of attitude compared to when she met him the other day. And even after considering that it was because of his ‘faking skill’, Layla still couldn’t relax. She knew there was something Darius was hiding from her.“All right, Darius. So, what did you do to Victor? You were so sure about hi
Midnight Feast Chapter 123
“Antidote?” Darius asked, surprised.“Yeah. Since you’re the one who made the poison, you should also know how to make the antidote,” Layla said. The story she heard from Darius changed her mind. She made up her mind to stop Victor from his fantasies. Firstly, she’s not a human. A fact that she only realized later when she met Zev. Secondly, she’s been marked by the alpha. There’s no way she could be with another man other than Zev. Not that she wanted to stay by Victor’s side, but because she had no choice, rather her heart couldn’t make up a lie to part with her master.“If you want me to help you with your plan, you should help me get the antidote first and foremost, Darius. That’s basic,” she continued. “How do you expect me to help you if my body remains to be contaminated by this poison you made, huh?”The guy shook his head. “But it’s not a poison. It’s simply a potion and there’s no antidote,” Darius insisted. “The effects should only make one h

‘A person could never choose his roots but would always have a chance to decide on a way of living and the fruits they bear should be the one to look at, not the origin of the seed which could merely just survived out of luck…or perhaps its fate as what most considered,’ Layla told herself as she looked at Darius who was obediently nodding his head while listening to what she said.The guy could be just like her, never wished to be born as a vampire who needed to suck the other’s blood to survive… Just as how much she wished she wasn’t born a werewolf, whose body and face turned into an animal that could devour a life of a person without feeling bad during the process. And it made her wonder whether Zev and the other Weres glad about being who they were…and Victor, who was consumed by his emotion- thanks to his father who neglected him for being weak, Layla was eager to know about how they exactly feel.One thing was for sure, Layla was not satisfied at all. But

Midnight Feast Epilogue
A Hundred years had passed, and the world remained the same, except for a fact that humans learned to accept other races. The evolution of man went steadfast as new species kept increasing, adding up to the mass number of population on earth. Humans were never be on the top of society neither on the bottom. They continued living a fair life just in the past. However, other races excelled in different fields, contributing their knowledge and skills towards the greater future. Those with powers stood atop, and those with the lowest contribution remained below, though they kept a fair share of respect that everyone deserved to have.The society was composed of three major casts that dominated the world after coexisting for centuries:Shifters were known to be highly skilled and intelligent. Since their body and mind functioned a little more advance than humans, they led the society, holding the most power among the races. There were three sub-races among shifters
Midnight Feast Finale
“NO!”Zev cried as he watched Layla end her life. Her beautiful yet sad smile remained on her face as she chose to end everything with her. Zev’s world seemed to stop when he saw her lifeless body fell on the ground. He couldn’t move an inch, but he knew once he gave up, it would be really over.“Layla!” Victor cried and rushed towards Layla’s dead body. He cradled her in his lap with tears in his eyes, flowing endlessly like the stream. “Don’t die, please. Don’t die! I’ll listen to whatever you say, just don’t die, please.” It was a rare sight to see the vampire lord crying for someone else’s life.It was only a few minutes ago when Zev was still fighting against Victor and Layla’s sudden decision to stop their battle by taking her life brought them back to senses. She had already decided to do it beforehand, Zev could tell she had other reasons. Judging by how she chose the right time to take action and caught both of their attack

“Awoooo~!”Layla snapped back to reality when she heard Zev’s howling. She was certain it was him. No one but Zev could make sure intimidating howl. She turned to face the direction where the alpha kept fighting the vampire lord. They were both filled with bruises and cuts which healed immediately anyway. Knowing how both vampires and werewolves could heal themselves during the battle, knocking either of them would be challenging.“I should do something,” Layla said, determined to stop the battle. Even after what Darius said, she couldn’t just let her sacrifice be in vain. She hoped that Zev would keep his words, and she trusted him, however, she couldn’t be too certain about Victor. The latter might do something that could lead the alpha to kill him. Besides, Darius also mentioned Victor’s plan. It wasn’t like he was still into taking her away from Zev, but what Victor said when he chall

The chaos continued.Layla stood in the middle while everyone around her fought until their last breath. Her mind was telling her to do something to stop them, but she couldn’t even take a step. After using up most of her life force in that one spell, she expected to get weak. It was her negligence to think about the consequences once those who already died in battle come back alive. Layla certainly didn’t expect them to continue the battle which already costed them their lives. And just when she was willing to sacrifice and take all the blame, they all started to waste the second chance she gave.‘No, this is not good. If this continues, the forest will fall ruined again.’ Layla wandered her eyes around to find anyone who could help her stop the battle. But to no avail, everyone seemed busy throwing their lives away. “Don’t… Zev, you promise… Don’t fight,” she whispered while reaching out her hand towards Zev’s direction.“Layla!”

“Since you’ve already returned to the realm, I’m expecting you to come back once you settled everything on earth,” the king of deity told Layla. “In any case you changed your mind about something, you should come and let me know about it. You’ll never know, I might grant you a wish,” he added before sending her back to earth to complete what she had started.“Aw!” Layla groaned when she felt something hard hitting her head. She opened her eyes to see Levius glaring at her. “Levius?” The name naturally came out of her mouth as if she’d known its owner. ‘Where am I? I was just talking to the king…’ Layla rubbed her forehead and looked around. “I see… So, that’s what happened,” she mumbled to herself.“What are you even doing down there?” It was Lucian again. His voice couldn’t get any louder. “His Majesty is gravely wounded, and you’re just still in a daze! What kind of lover are you? Get up and do something usefu

“How stubborn. This young deity seems not satisfied with what you’ve arranged for her fate.”“Now, don’t start blaming me here. It took me a few decades to have them meet each other. I’m doing the best I can!”“Yeah? But you chose a hard path for our little deity. She was sincere with her feelings and the werewolf guy loves her. They deserve to be happy!”“Well, why don’t you leave them alone? Maybe they’ll find happiness when they no longer love each other. Sometimes, I think it’s all because you let them fall in love, that’s why they have to suffer.”“Nope, it's not my fault. They love each other and I love them too. I made sure to strengthen their bond no matter how difficult their life would be. Just like what I have said, you should be generous enough and let them be together as much as they want!&rdq
Midnight Feast Chapter 138
The dire situation they were in made Layla give up on questioning Zev’s sheepish grin. She wanted to hear the story behind his mischievousness while they were supposed to run for their life, chased by a tornado which came out of nowhere. Well, she guessed it was all Levius’ doing. And just like that, Zev glided in the air in his robe with her in his arms. They might be in a dangerous situation, but Layla couldn’t suppress the excitement she felt as they were running away.‘This feels so good. If only he carried me like this before when he sprinted back to the mansion after hunting wild boars, I might have fallen in love with him earlier,’ Layla thought with a wide smile spread on her face.“Go faster, Zev! Levius’ minion is getting closer!” Layla yelled and Zev did what he was told.They headed to the forest, which no longer looked like one. The trees were all burnt,
Midnight Feast Chapter 137
Layla’s scream was dissolved in the air. Time seemed to stop for her when she saw how Zev received the impact from Levius’ attack. Her heart stopped beating for a second before the basement blasted into smithereens, leaving her and Levius on the safe side while the others who were caught up with the explosion ended up severely injured.“Zev!” Layla shouted. The smoke was too thick, and she couldn’t see anything. “Levius! Let go of me! I said, let go of me!” She struggled in his hold, but her effort was pointless. Levius turned a deaf ear on her and continued shooting the same energy call, causing the earth to rumble because of its powerful impact.She tried to warn him, but failed. It seemed like Levius was using some spell that made them invisible somehow. Zev knew she was there but couldn’t hear her at all. And even with how loud she screamed, he didn’t show any reaction and was still c

“Just like I expected, the fire didn’t spread near the mansion. It would be the safest place to gather everyone and discuss the plan you proposed,” Zev said when they reached the estate. Layla just nodded her head as a response, even though she knew he wouldn’t see it.A loud crash on the door caught everyone’s attention in the living room. Layla didn’t miss the fierce glance in Lucian’s and the other’s eyes when Zev bolted inside the house by bumping, breaking the huge and thick wooden entrance.“Your Majesty,” everyone said in chorus as they bent down all at the same moment.Layla moved down from Zev’s back and awkwardly bowed her head. She was too embarrassed to look at anyone.“You just came back in time,” Lucian muttered as he stepped forward. He threw Layla a quick glance but ignored her when she tried to look back at
