As Eden gently backed Pearl towards her house, her slender body relaxed against his, her calm, steady heartbeat a soothing rhythm against his back. Despite the opportunity to utilize his super speed, Eden resisted the temptation, prioritizing Pearl's peaceful slumber over their timely arrival. The gentle sway of her body against his was oddly comforting, and he found himself savoring the intimate proximity.

As they approached the house, Eden's piercing blue eyes scanned the darkened windows, noting that everyone was already asleep. The front door was locked, but the window remained open, a subtle invitation for Eden to enter. A soft sigh escaped his lips, his chiseled features set in a wry expression. "I guess I'll be breaking in," he murmured, his voice low and smooth.

With Pearl still asleep on his back, Eden carefully made his way to the open window, his movements deliberate and silent. He hoisted himself up, Pearl's body secure against his, and slipped into the house, disappearing

    Author's POV Kyle's eyes, a deep, piercing sapphire, filled with concern as he backed Abigail away from the danger that lurked ahead. "Sorry, but I can't let you get yourself involved in this," he said, his voice firm but gentle. "Those twins are very dangerous, unlike any vampire hunter you may have come across. It would be suicidal trying to do battle with them."Abigail's slender figure rose from her seated position, her movements fluid and deliberate. She drew closer to Kyle, her bright eyes sparkling with determination as she stood behind him. "I do know how dangerous they are," she said, her voice steady and confident. "Half-vampire, half-witch."Kyle's surprise was evident on his chiseled features, his eyes widening in astonishment as he turned to face Abigail. He had not expected her to be aware of the twin hunters' unique heritage, and his mind racing with the implications. If she knew this, how could she possibly think of battling them? The outcome would be disastrous, a ce

    Author's POV Abigail's bright eyes sparkled with a hint of excitement as she began to explain the origins of the twin hunters. "Yes, the hunters originally were neither witches nor vampires," she said, her slender fingers gesturing emphatically. "They were just normal, ordinary human hunters. Weak, slow, and not that fearsome, but they have always hated vampires greatly, so they had a very powerful witch turn them into a weapon, the ultimate weapon to destroy vampires."As Abigail spoke, Kyle's piercing sapphire eyes listened intently, his chiseled features set in a thoughtful expression. His dark hair was perfectly messy, framing his handsome face. He stood tall, his 6ft3 frame towering over Abigail, but his eyes never left hers, drinking in every word."They were made into half-witches and half-vampire in the presence of the dark moon," Abigail continued, her voice low and mysterious. "They were never bitten by an actual vampire nor were they born a witch." Kyle's eyes widened, imp

His angular face was inches from hers, his blond hair mussed in a way that added to his rugged charm. "Tell me, do you enjoy his touches the way you do mine?" he asked, his voice low and husky, sending shivers down Carolina's spine.Carolina's words came out in a moan, her voice barely audible. "No.." Her eyes fluttered closed, her face tilted upwards, inviting Nathan's kisses. Nathan was driving her crazy, not just with his touches, but with his words as well. True to her words, the dread's touch was nothing compared to Nathan's. Her body reacted differently to his touch, every single caress making her skin vibrate with excitement.Nathan's hands moved up her arm like a crawling spider stalking its prey, his fingers finally claiming her breasts. He kissed her passionately on the lips, then down on her neck, his hot breath sending shivers down her spine. "D

    Author's POV Inside his room, Eden sat on the edge of his bed, his movements economical and precise as he undressed himself, starting first with his shoes. The soft creak of the bed beneath him seemed to echo through the room, a subtle reminder of his presence. As he loosened the laces of his shoes, his mind began to wander, his thoughts drifting away to the human girl Pearl.

I thought you would need a space of your own and some privacy," he explained, his voice measured.Abigail's eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze piercing. "Privacy?" she repeated. "Or don't you want me around you?"Kyle's face flushed, and he took a step forward, his hands held out in a placating gesture. "No, I do," he said quickly.

    Pearl's POVAs I stepped into the room, wrapped in a clean, white towel, my bright blue eyes sparkled with a sense of refreshment. My long, curly brown hair was a tangled mess, dripping with water from the shower. I walked straight to the makeup table, my bare feet making soft squelching sounds on the floor. Sitting down, I pulled out a portable hand dryer and a large comb from the drawer.Staring at the medium-sized mirror hung on the wall in front of me, I began to dry my hair carefully with the hand dryer. The warm air danced through my locks, sending droplets of water flying in all directions. As I worked, my slender fingers expertly navigated the tangles, smoothing out my hair into long, gently strands. The process took about 20 minutes, and when I was done, I stood up from the makeup table, feeling refreshed and revitalized.I walked over to the wardrobe, my towel-clad body swaying slightly with each step. As I opened the doors, a wave of possibilities greeted me. I wasn't the t

"Really, you call that a greeting? And what happened last night?" she demanded, her eyes boring into mine.I buried my head slightly, my cheeks flushing with embarrassment. "I...I'm sorry, Mum," I began, my voice barely above a whisper, before trailing off, unsure of how to continue."Why didn't you inform us when you got back from the party with your friend Nelly? Your father and I were surprised to find you sleeping in your bed early this morning," she asked, her voice tinged with a hint of curiosity.I muttered a confuse

We used to call it the Ghost House when we were kids, and the memories of our childhood fears came flooding back. Kaleb, however, seemed undeterred, his flashlight casting eerie shadows on the walls as he searched for the mysterious package sent by his uncle."Why would your uncle send a package here, of all places?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. The house seemed to swallow sound, making me feel like I was speaking into a void.Kaleb shrugged, his eyes scanning the dusty floorboards. "I have no idea. But I'm going to find out."As he continued his search, memories of our childhood adventures came flooding back. We used to dare each other to knock on the door, to see if the "ghosts" would answer. Now, as I looked around at the cobweb-covered chandeliers and the faded wallpaper, it all seemed kinda silly. There were no ghosts, just a creepy old house that seemed to have been left

We know you're hiding something. You're just not remembering yet."Maxwell's frustration boiled over. "I'm telling you, I don't know any brothers! You have to believe me! I'm not lying!"Dracko chuckled, a cold, mirthless sound. "We'll see about that. Gracko, why don't you help refresh Maxwell's memory?"Gracko's eyes lit up with sadistic glee as he began to inflict pain on Maxwell. Maxwell's screams echoed through the car pack, but Gracko just laughed, his eyes gleaming with excitement.Finally, unable to bear the pain any longer, Maxwell begged, "Please, stop!

"Alright, listen up. The shipment needs to be offloaded at the docks by midnight. I want it done quietly, no fuss.
