Fate was something that’s hard to battle with. A fateful moment confronting luck could happen in everyone’s life at least once or twice. It was hard to decipher at times and difficult to accept on some occasions. When the guardian of death came to fetch someone on earth to the other world, fate was the only one that could stop it. It could be either a fateful destiny or a fateful lucky day. As for Layla, she didn’t know which she belonged with though she was a stroke of sudden bad luck arrived and saved her from her dying last moment.

“Mm…” the beaten up young lady moaned when she opened her eyes. The sun rays hitting the shiny, clear and seemingly smooth object by the window reflected a solid white light that hurt her eyes. She was not used to the light yet and having seen too much with such brightness was not easy for her to take. “Ah!” A husky scream came out of her mouth w

    ‘Almost!’ Layla heaved a sigh after successfully saving herself from falling into the pit of danger. She was lucky to grab on the stronger branch next to her. With her trembling and bleeding hand, she moved her lower body up and crawled closer to her goal.“Ha-hahaha!” A hilarious laugh escaped her mouth despite having her throat feeling dry, she couldn’t help but cheer on herself a bit after escaping death several times already. Layla teared-up while laughing a lot. When satisfied, and actually could hardly breathe to laugh some more, she rested her back on the branches spreading in a different direction. She was right about it. The spot was perfect for her to get some rest in the meantime. At least, she had to find ways to fix her broken arm.The ripping sound of cloth when she yanked a piece from her shirt filled her ears. It was like an irate rhythm in her head which annoyed her somehow. The shirt she was wearing was tattered which made it easy

    Zev woke up to the sound of the rain. He rubbed his forehead as he tried to remember what happened.“AH!”A loud cry coming from outside made him quickly get up from laying down on the floor. The rain was not too heavy but enough to make the ground muddy. His lips turned up when he saw a young, beautiful lady desperately holding on to the tree branch. It looked like she slipped and was afraid to fall, so she couldn’t let go despite the condition of her hand.“What the heck?” Zev mumbled when he sighted the lady’s other arm hanging on her side. It was utterly useless, and he was amazed by how she kept herself alive. “She’s tough,” he praised her.His eyes wandered under the tree. Zev was surprised to see a pack of gray wolves and red foxes. As far as he could remember, those wild animals dared not to come around his mansion. He shook his head when he remembered calling them out to challenge the lady. “Ah, it seems li

    The crease on the man’s forehead appeared. Layla frowned at his expression. “Please put me down, Master. Trust me, I will not disappoint you.” She gave him an encouraging smile.“Did you hear what you just said?” He clicked his tongue while staring directly into her eyes. She stared back at him, and they remained quiet for a second until the man’s face turned dark.*Bogsh*“Ugh!” Layla groaned when her back landed on the ground. She spitted blood as she muttered a firm “Shit” under her breath. It was not her first time but the pain was always memorable.“What’s with that glare?” the man asked her when she threw him a scowl. “Didn’t you want me to put you down? I just did you another favor,” he refuted.‘Wow. He can actually say something like that,’ Layla thought. She bit her lower lip to prevent herself from starting an argument. Little did she know, the man had to do the same to stop himself from

    Layla felt overjoyed whenever she killed one and more wolves. She turned the tables around after her first kill. Everything seemed to be easier; to kill, to survive, and to live. She was drunk with physical strength and power. Amid the bloodshed under the rain, she heard a faint voice calling for her. The voice was yelling her name and saying something, but she ignored it. It was the first time and it was so unreal. No one would ever call her name. Nah, no one ever cared what was her name. She was used to being called a ‘bitch’, a ‘trash’, and many more. Sometimes, she even couldn’t remember her name. Well, it didn’t matter.“LAYLA!”A man’s voice resounded in Layla’s ears. She had an urge to look back for a moment to see who was calling her but the bliss she was feeling wouldn’t let her. She was thirsty for revenge, for violence, for bloodshed, and death. The painful truth that kept her alive was ruling over her frail body. She was alone and no one

    Eyes widen in shock with her hands up in the air, Layla couldn’t make a more epic expression in her awkward position after having her first kiss stolen. Yes, it was her first. Since she was scarred on the face, no one even dared to kiss her as they felt disgusted by her scar. Well, the feeling was mutual, she felt nothing but disgust and loathing towards them anyway. However, the soft, feathery sensation his lips brought to hers was soothing despite a bit of force applied to its every move.When the kiss deepened, Layla was back to reality. She took the chance to push the man away when he was immersed in what he was doing. “HMP!” Layla abruptly covered her lips after moving her face away. She was lucky he was caught off guard, or she might have trouble pushing him. Her face turned red in embarrassment. She wasn’t the kind that would get embarrassed because a man kissed her since she knew a little about sexual orientation. What made her ashamed was the fact her breat

    Layla was carried away by the bliss she found while biting him. Her teeth weren’t as sharp as his but it didn’t stop her to nibbled on his shoulder. As his fangs bore deep into her skin, her dull canines burrow down on his flesh. It was a shallow bite compared to Zev’s and it made him laugh a little while enjoying himself with her.They quite lasted in that position pleasing themselves. Zev only stopped when he realized something was wrong with the young lady. His face turned pale when an excruciating pain penetrated through his skin from his shoulder where she was biting him. It was then when he discovered that she was no longer biting with her teeth but the set of fangs growing in her mouth which appeared to be sharper than how he imagined.“Ugh!” Zev groaned when Layla plunged deeper while sucking his blood alongside leaving a mark just like how he did to her. The sensation made him stop and decided to push the lady away. “Shit!” He cursed under

    “How does it taste like? Good?” Zev was focused on her while she was busy digging in the boar's meat she grilled. "Is it tasty? Does the seasoning match with your palette? You're not saying anything," he added.Layla rolled her eyes. He asked her the same question for the fifth time. And she already told him to give it a try for the fourth time. She could see him waiting for her response through her peripheral vision, but she decided to ignore it and munched on the meat on the stick instead. It was like the best day of her life; she’s alive, clothed, and eating.The young lady was also grateful that she had a place to stay. Just like what she thought before, it was safer to stay with the man since no one should dare to come from the dungeon to retrieve her. She had no plan of going back after she survived death many times. Layla wanted to enjoy her remaining days as she knew her ‘master’ might get tired and disposed of her sooner or later. He was a

    Layla held the knife tightly in her hand. She was kneeling beside the unconscious young man who sneaked inside the mansion without her master’s consent. As his punishment for ruining the peaceful time inside the mansion, her master asked her to peel off the man’s skin. Layla would dare not disobey his order and wouldn’t even hesitate to follow his instruction as part of her plan of earning his trust. She was able to complete his first task which in one day instead of three and that should please him though at the same time, made him expect more from her. She was not allowed to disappoint him, or she might really be dead in an instant.“What are you waiting for?”She took a deep breath while looking at the stranger’s face. Zev took him to a vacant room and placed him on top of an iron table. He also placed a piece of cloth on top of him to hide his exposed body. Not that Layla would mind it. Come on, she saw naked men many times, and she thought ther

  • 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

    “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

    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,

    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
