2024-10-29 19:42:56The savory smell of roasted meat enveloped the dining hall. It was the first thing that caught Layla’s attention as she walked past the kitchen while looking for her master. She didn’t expect to see the table filled with food. There were fruits in the basket, cooked meat, and even a glass of fruit juice. Her eyes form into a heart-shaped like as she tried her best not to drool in front of the food.
“You’re here,” Zev mumbled as he put down his glass of water. “What are you waiting for? Dig in,” he ordered which sounded marvelous in Layla’s ears.
The young lady excitedly slumped on the chair with her watering mouth. The view in front of her was appetizing and too good to be real. She spent a few minutes staring at them while quietly praying they wouldn’t disappear or that she wasn’t dreaming. After all, she couldn’t imagine having to eat such delicious food.
“Are you going to eat or not? You’ve been gawking at them for too long alrea

The soft cushion made Zev feel comfortable while sitting. He had the urge to sleep but knowing he shouldn’t she changed his position. It was all thanks to Layla who kept him wide awake almost the whole night. He was lucky to get a nap in the dawn when she was finally sleeping soundly. He found out that if he wanted to have a good sleep, he should be sleeping away from her.Speaking of which, Zev was also asking himself why he let that troublesome lady stay close with him. He shouldn’t mind it when it comes to other things but sleeping. He may seem the type to have anything he wanted but ever since he was cursed, he lost interest in anything aside from freedom. He hadn’t slept with anyone else before too. That night when he met and exchanged a few dialogues with Layla, was that same night when he fell asleep with someone beside him, and she was a woman. How rare was that?However, he wouldn’t deny that the lady’s presence was somehow soothing his rag

The wind was blowing gently and it wasn’t helping Layla at all. She hadn’t realized how scary it was to be standing on the cliff. Jumping off could even lead to her death. But there was nothing she could do as it was her master’s order. Well, she could choose to disobey which she wouldn’t ever do unless she wanted to waste all her efforts to get him to trust her. The last time she did it was out of determination to survive. She was driven by her desperate will to live that she was able to jump from such heights. Layla may not admit it but she was more than happy to find out she was alive after her epic escape from her pursuers that day.“Do you need a hand?” She heard him say. Layla shook her head. She might be able to survive before through sheer luck and knowing that luck could be all used up anytime, the young lady didn’t want to bet her life with it. “We’ve been here for a few minutes now and you haven’t jumped off yet. Did you change your mind?”

*cough cough cough*Layla’s hard coughing could be heard throughout the kitchen. She was sitting on the chair while hugging her knees. She wasn’t trying to boast something earlier when she decided to jump off but the consequences were somehow intolerable. The young lady realized she might catch a cold again.“Truly, regret is always in the end,” she whispered, wrapping the blanket tightly around her. She was grateful when Zev took her out of the water right after she fell on the river. She didn’t stop sneezing until they got home and even started to cough.‘Ah. This isn’t the first time I coughed but the I’m feeling a little better right now,’ she thought. Why wouldn’t she feel like that when someone was there to take care of her? Actually, Zev didn’t mean to take care of her at all. He just happened to promise a treat so he was doing his best to cook something.Layla watched her master focusing on a book he was hol

Since they’re up to compete with each other, Zev suggested that they’d go on their own. Layla agreed with him and got to choose which way to go. She headed straight ahead from where they were standing and Zev took a turn on the side.‘I should find the target first. The earlier I start, the better,’ Layla told herself as she roamed her eyes around, hoping to catch a glimpse of her delicious meat.Her thoughts were filled with roasted meat as she subconsciously drooled while walking aimlessly. She had a satisfying lunch just a couple of hours ago yet she couldn’t help but crave food. She was enjoying herself as she imagined having dozens of serving when suddenly, Zev’s face appeared in her mind. ‘Ugh! Why would he pop up like that!’ She rolled her eyes in frustration when her festive imagination was ruined.“All right. I should focus now. I need to win this bet. Not only I’d get to eat more meat but I’d get a wish granted as well. Th

The breeze became colder. Zev was patiently waiting for Layla who had gone hunting for her dinner. It had been a few hours and the sun was about to set yet there was no sign of the young lady.‘Is it that hard for her to hunt something? I should have taught her how to hunt birds first,’ Zev thought as he leaned his back on the tree trunk. In front of him was a pile of unconscious boar he caught in a swift attack earlier. He stared at his loot blankly. A few decades ago, he would be contented to eat boar’s meat during his meal. Until he was cursed by the deity. He couldn’t get satisfied with the animal’s flesh. Although he could still eat them, they wouldn’t be enough to fill his hunger. And that’s when he started to prey on humans. Especially those hunters whom he would encounter back then. His life completely changed when he started to find pleasure in human flesh.“Master!” It was Layla. She was running out of breath as she ran towards him with a

“HAHAHAHAH! How can you be so stupid?” Zev’s laughter filled the dining hall. He couldn’t stop laughing after hearing Layla’s story.“Master, your food is getting cold. You shouldn’t forget to eat while listening to me talk,” Layla said. She was only hiding it but she wanted to smack the man’s face on his plate. “You can’t blame me. It was my first time hunting. I didn’t even know that my dagger wouldn’t be enough to silence a boar,” she refuted.She did her best to catch that boar and with just one single mistake, everything went to waste. Layla took a bite of the rabbit’s meat she roasted. It tasted nice and tender though she would honestly prefer the boars’ savory meat.‘That damn boar, I’ll find you and make sure to roast your whole,’ she promised. She couldn’t forget how her prey escaped her grasp. And when she thought her legs would be enough to immobilize it was on the advanced level of stupidity.“It’s fine.

Zev took a deep breath. He intended to get Layla drunk but he didn’t expect it to be so fast. She only had a couple of glasses of wine and she was already crying her heart out. For whatever reason, he would like to know but before that, he already prepared several questions to ask her.“Hey, little Layla. Do you want to drink more?” He asked her. The young lady was hugging the wine glass she was drinking from earlier.“Yes, please.” Zev could no longer count how many times Layla said the same phrase. “Give me more,” she added while handing out her glass.“Sure, sure,” he replied as he poured her glass. “You can have as much as you want. Isn’t that nice?”Layla nodded her head. He sighed. Zev had never expected him to do such a trick just to gather information. He watched the lady emptied her glass one after another. He waited for another hour before he started questioning her.“Layla, do you know so

*Thump*Layla woke up to the pain she felt on her back. Her vision was blurry and she couldn’t see almost everything in the dark room she was in. The last time she was awake, she remembered having a drink with Zev.“Ugh…” she groaned when sharp objects pierced through her skin. She felt her flesh ripping off. ‘What’s going on?’ Layla thought.“Bitch, I’ll kill you.” Layla heard a familiar’s voice talking to her. He was just a few inches away as she could feel his breath on her face. There was a strong scent of blood coming from him as well.“W-What do you want from me?” she asked. Her voice turned out hoarse. “Ack!” Layla attempted to cough out the thick substance in her throat she guessed was blood.“Die,” the familiar voice whispered, and an instant, Layla was stabbed in her stomach. “I really wanted to drink your blood but before that, I would like to see you bathe on it. Just like that damn beas

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
