“Uhm…” Layla whimpered to the touch she felt all over her body. There was something heavy on top of her, and she hadn’t had the slightest idea what it was. Her mind was in a blank state that she couldn’t think straight. She didn’t know what to think about in the first place. Layla was exhausted, both her mind and body refused to work for a certain moment. And that was the very first time she wished she was dead.

“Layla~” It was the same voice calling her for the past few days. She didn’t know who it was nor that she tried to know anyway. One thing for sure, Layla didn’t care about whose voice it was. She didn’t care about anything at all. She just wanted to feel peace…even if it meant staying in the dark place where she could see and hear nothing.

“Urgh…” Her voice came out rather subtle. She recognized her voice but was not a bit interested as to why she was making such a sound. Moans and groans came out of her mouth repeatedly like its all the sound it could ma

    *cough* *cough*Layla couldn’t stop coughing blood. Her will was strong and yet her body needed recuperation. She’s almost at her limit, if not for Darius giving her a recovery potion, she must have already kicked the bucket. The thing was, even if she’s still alive, her body remained so weak after getting amputated. The scars that were left by whips and sticks weren’t fading at all, making Layla look nothing less than how she did when she was first sent as the ‘offering’ to the demon of the west.As part of the plan, Layla had to wear the white satin dress she wore before. It was well crafted for someone who’s going to die, either by the severe injuries she contained or getting eaten. Knowing what could happen to her when Zev found her on the altar wearing the same dress which his previous preys wore, Layla couldn’t help but feel a little relieved that she could replace someone. She didn’t expect Zev to hold back h

    The clouds slowly covered the sky earlier in the evening. No stars could be seen, leaving the deepening night into darkness. In a few hours, the glory of the full moon was expected. And for the meantime, evil was taking the chance to lurked in the widespread shadow. Darkness was evil’s best friend and chaos was always to be expected when these two meet.“Your Majesty,” Levius mumbled, greeting Zev who was silently sitting on the armchair inside his room. “Everyone is ready,” he informed, bending down to pay his respect.Zev didn’t say a word but lifted his hand and slightly waved it. He expected Levius to understand the gesture which the latter did.“I’m going to stay by your side tonight, Your Majesty,” Levius said, straightening his back. “If only my brother, Lucian is here… I’ll be more at ease to leave your safety in his hands.”“Pfft…” Zev laughed. “How long do you plan to act as if you care? Nobody is here to find out about your real identity… Ah, it’s

    If there was one place which the moon seemed to favor the most, it would be no other than the Verte peninsula. The moonlight beamed on the spaces between the leaves and twigs of the lush trees in the forest, illuminating even the grounds underneath the shades. The warm and gentle light radiating from the moon in its fullest form penetrated all the lifeforms below, gracing their humble existence with its loving light.One of them was Zev Wesley, the only descendant of the Wesley family from the werewolf clan. As the strongest among other Weres, he was honored to enjoy a feast that everyone couldn’t afford. His beastly nature was never fulfilled and thus, having a feast once in every month, at the most special moment when the full moon rose above the skies. Zev would have to satisfy the demon within him by gobbling up anything offered to him in the alter. And just like the previous occasion, at midnight, Zev Wesley found a human offering on the altar.There shouldn’t be a

    The howls of wolves, as well as the seemingly endless cries, could be heard from afar. It shouldn’t be too much to listen to except for Layla who could recognize each and everyone’s voices despite the distance. She shut her eyes tightly while shifting to her beast form, doing the same trick she tried before when her feet were cut off. With hopes that her legs could grow back, Layla endured the pain as her body changed its shape…turning her into a majestic creature under the faint moonlight.“You don’t have to force yourself to shift,” Zev said, looking at her with those lovely silver-gray eyes that kept glowing like rare gems in the night.Layla shook her head. She wanted to surpass her limit. And even though she was beaten into a pulp, after getting close to Zev, having to sniff his unique woody scent, and kissed him with deep affection, she felt like everything was possible. Layla knew her chances of surviving the pain at th

    Zev’s heart seemed to jump out of his chest. He never thought he would feel so overwhelmed the way he did when Layla returned his feelings. The doubts in his mind were clearing away as his resolve to keep Layla by his side had gotten stronger. He wasn’t lying when he said he’d fight against anyone for Layla. And his desire to have her for himself was fired up after she told him she felt the same. Zev brushed off any thoughts unrelated to Layla and decided to focus on her alone at the moment.He held her hands and pinned them down over her head as he aimed for her lips. Zev started by kissing her gently as he slowly changed the pace every time Layla got used to his touch. They shared a deep, passionate kiss for minutes until they could barely breathe. He watched Layla gasped for air the second he let go of her lips and took the chance to continue kissing her right after she inhaled again.The sweetness on her lips was never-fading like there was a sugar factory be

    The moonlight faded and was replaced by the bright sun rays radiating through the woods. Zev opened his eyes to the sound of the water rushing by the river and the pleasant breeze blowing the leaves and twigs in the vast forest. He put a hand over his eyes to protect them from the sun. It surprised him to find himself in a strange but somehow familiar place. It was not long ago since he drifted to sleep and waking up suddenly with the night sky gone after just a few minutes was already hard to believe. Zev looked around and saw no one beside him.‘Where’s Layla?’ He asked himself. If his memories served him right, Layla should be sleeping in his arms. After what they did, he was expecting her to sleep more. Confused and worried, Zev got up from lying down and looked for Layla. And just when he was about to take a step, he noticed he’s wearing clothes which he didn’t remember putting on before. The fabric reminded him of those that were used to make clothes when

    Clouds gathered around the full moon, and thunders roared across the sky. The lightning kept striking the ground while the timbers in the forest burned. Fire scattered rapidly to every tree and wild grasses. Zev was standing still as he watched everything slowly turned into ashes, leaving his old self alone in deep sorrow and regret after realizing what he did.“Zev! ZEV!” It was the deity Layla’s voice, calling his old self in the midst of the burning woods. She was in tears when she stumbled on the dead bodies on the ground. Holding her chest in pain, she lifted her head to see Zev kneeling, his body covered in blood. “Zev!” Layla exclaimed and came rushing to the man who was in a daze.“What have you done?! You promised me!” Layla cried, hitting his chest with her delicate fists. She was trembling as she continued blaming him. “The forest is burning. Leave,” she told him and tried to drag him back to his feet. “Zev Wesley! Are you listening to me

    “Layla…” Zev called out as he abruptly got up from lying down. He was running out of breath when he opened his eyes and realized it was still nighttime. “Was it a dream?” he asked and was relieved to see Layla sleeping soundly beside him.“I guess not,” he said, leaning down to kiss her. “It all happened in the past after all. Having reminded like that was indeed necessary,” Zev muttered and continued planting kissing on Layla’s cheeks. He stopped when he recalled something important. He fixed his position and Layla’s head that was falling off his arm.Zev was confused to find himself not wearing anything. He clearly remembered having some clothes on a while ago. If his memory served him right, it should the same set of clothes that were specially made for the reigning alpha of the pack that came from the Wesley family.‘Those clothes… I’m not wearing them anymore,’ Zev pondered for a while and clicked his tongue when he recalled wh

  • 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
