2024-10-29 19:42:56Wet hair and soaked clothes didn’t hinder Zev when facing the men sent by the blood clan. He carried the unconscious lady under the nearby tree as he waited for the enemy’s spies to attack. He thought it wouldn’t be a big deal at all since he believed he was always the strongest, and he would remain to be until the end of his existence. His mind was set to boost his pride and ego, and he spent years alone reflecting and appreciating his might and well-being. Zev Wesley was a narcissist molded by loneliness in his lifetime solitude. But Layla came and her feisty mouth seemed to break the invisible walls separating him from the rest of the world. Her presence was unique, like a precious gem that was yet to be discovered.
‘Those blood-sucking demons need a beating. Hah, what do they call themselves again? Vampire?’ Zev wondered. He turned around to check the surroundings. He knew they were being watched.
“Watch over her, Lucian,” Zev ordered while gent

Layla woke up to the gnashing sound of claws against a steel-like object. She opened her eyes and the sight of monstrous creatures fighting each other stunned her. She brought her hand to her mouth to prevent herself from screaming. After all, she was a lady who could get scared too. And seeing a pale guy with tattered clothes and blood all over him getting pummeled by the sharp and glistening claws of a white monster she never encountered in the past was enough for her to wet her pants in fear. What Layla feared was not exactly the horrendous faces of men battling in front of her but the fact that she was unaware of such existence. Other than her master, Zev, Layla thought no one could be so powerful.“Master? Where is he?” she blurted out when she remembered getting saved by her moody benefactor from drowning in the river. She hurriedly got up to look for the man when Lucian held her in place with his usual bored expression on the face. “Lucian, where’s my master?
Midnight Feast Chapter 31
It was that moment when Layla thought she was in a dire situation. She was always prepared to do whatever Zev would ask her but not to the extent of killing someone. It wasn’t because she was hesitating, not at all. She had killed wolves and even foxes before to survive, Layla sure would kill anyone who tried to get on her way. And it's all because of Zev’s given task. Her concern was, how could she kill a person who was obviously stronger than her?“What’s with that face? Aren’t you willing to do it?” Layla sighed at what Zev said. She faced him with a blank face as she thought of a way to finish the bloody guy who was laying down on the ground just a few meters away. Layla turned in Zev’s direction who was already sitting on the log prepared by his loyal dog.“No, Master. It’s not about being willing or not. I have no choice but to do it to curry favor from you. But I don’t know how to do it, Master,” Layla admitted. She smirked when she saw her d

Zev deepened his voice than usual as he coldly stared at Layla who was dumbfounded by his question. He didn’t even know exactly why, but he couldn’t be wrong. When he looked at her eyes and studied her facial expression at that moment, his guts were telling him something about her running away. And Zev would never want that to happen. ‘She’s mine,’ was what he thought when the idea of giving up Layla to the vampires popped into his mind.“I… Master, I would not dare!” Her voice was firm yet filled with conviction. Zev knew she was lying but what could he do with her? Punishing Layla wouldn’t make her trust him. All he wanted was to get closer to her, if possible, getting closer into her heart would be the ideal way for him to have her stay by his side and do whatever he wanted. It wasn’t like he believed in a superficial thing called love… what he wished for… Zev thought Layla could help him realize it.“Oh. You weren’t?” He stepped closer to her an

*THUMP!*Zev wasted no second and threw Layla on the bed after muttering someone else’s name in her sleep. He knew he should have had nothing against it but the mere thought of the lady thinking about another man while he was cleaning after her mess agitated him to the maximum level.‘Victor?’ The name was familiar, and he thought he heard it from someone somewhere although he couldn’t completely recall.He stared at Layla who was still wearing her soaked shirt. Her short legs and thigh were exposed, and it was a good thing she was wearing underwear. Zev would love to know what happened to her why she ended up half-naked yet the lady was in deep sleep that she couldn’t ask her. “Why do I have to take care of you when you’re supposed to serve me instead?” He sighed when Layla didn’t wake up to give him an answer but snored loudly instead.“Right. How do you take care of someone with a fever?” Zev mumbled. He never ca

The room would have been quiet if not for the heavy breathing and groans coming from Zev’s guests. It was only a few minutes since Lucian left and Zev had started a sweet and spicy conversation with the vampires but the latter seemed opposed to how the host treated them. Zev talked sweetly as if he was harmless--- someone who couldn’t flick even a fly. Besides, his intention was as spicy as chili despite the sugary phrases he spoke. Zev’s words pricked through his guests' flesh.“Tell me, what’s your intention in barging in my territory?” Zev asked for the nth time when the white-haired vampire remained silent. He gave him a few seconds and when he refused to answer, he pummeled him with a rod with Wisteria wood on its tip. His victim moaned in pain. Zev had created holes in his body and he said nothing yet.As impatient as he was, Zev threw the rod and pinched the guy’s cheek. His fingernails pierced through the other’s face when he asked the same
Midnight Feast Chapter 35
The sound of the wooden heels of boots knocking on the concrete floor resounded through the walls. Lucian was quietly treading the way to the master’s bedroom where he assumed where Layla was. He didn’t know why his majesty would take in such a woman despite knowing nothing about her at all. The guard wolf pondered how he could get rid of the lady in case she would try to harm his king. Zev Wesley was Lucian’s only hope to prevent the blood clan’s ultimate plan; to rule over the kingdom and later, the continent. The Weres believed that if there would be someone ruling the world, it should be from their race as they were no doubt superior when it comes to power. And Zev was always been the best candidate.Lucian stopped in front of the door as he sucked in his breath. He intended to persuade the Alpha to lead the remaining Weres from different clans, he shouldn’t be bothered by anything else and Layla was one of those ‘extras’ he shouldn’t be minding. He pushed the d
Midnight Feast Chapter 36
The sound of the water dripping from the holes on the pipe was like a lullaby to Layla’s ears. She had been curling her body on the corner of her cell as she endured the pain all around her body. She knew it wouldn’t take long until she completely felt the numbness she had expected after getting beaten for the day.“Ugh…” she groaned when she tried to move her head when a droplet of water fell on her face. Layla was trying to sleep to recuperate, but it seemed like she wouldn’t be able to unless she moved farther from where the water kept dripping.Layla was left with no choice but to drag her limping body to find a spot where was not broken pipe. She vividly remembered the first time she arrived at the place deep down on the ground where other children her age were imprisoned. The iron bars in her cell and the cold, moldy ground underneath became her ‘home’ though it wasn’t a sweet one.
Midnight Feast Chapter 37
The following days became tolerable for Layla with the new kid joining her in the cell. She had him whenever she needed to talk which she loved doing the most. The boy’s presence reminded her of the days when there were more kids with her, sharing the cold and hard ground where they stuck with each other.“Layla, where did you come from?” the boy asked her once, and she had no idea what to answer. She knew nothing about herself at all except that she recalled being called ‘Layla’ by someone she couldn’t remember. “How did you end up in this place?”Those questions made her yearn for knowledge in order to give the boy a response. But fate had already decided for her and the thought of going against it was too much for a girl who was ignorant of how the world works its wonders.“Forget it. If you can’t remember anything then don’t mind my questions,” he told her while patting her head. Layla loved it when he was petting her. She felt

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
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
