"How did you know this place?" Mila asked, staring at a fairly large house they were now entering into.
Right now, Aaric was driving past its sturdy but very aesthetic looking gates.
"Here." Aaric pointed his head. “All the memories and information that this mind chanced upon were in my possession now.”
"Yes, I remember you saying that," Mila replied nonchalantly.
Yes, actually Aaric had said this before, but seeing it firsthand and witnessing it with her own eyes, still amazed Mila.
All the way to this place, Mila couldn't take her eyes off the outside world. The number of vehicles passing by, the height of the buildings they passed, the color of the sky that changed when the sun went down and other small things.
All of that seemed new to Mila who saw it for the first time after successfully running away from that damned research center.

Aaric understood what Mila was feeling right now, maybe now she felt weak and had no energy, but when her thirst took over her mind, then Mila would turn into a real monster.The same behavior she let out when she attacked Ellen a while ago and it was very dangerous.“I will not do that,” Mila said in a hoarse voice, she slapped Aaric's hand that was trying to hold hers.“You will not last long in your current condition,” Aaric tried to explain. "This is the first time you are feeling this and I am not sure you can hold it in well."The experienced vampires may be able to survive weeks without blood, but for Mila who had always have her needs met, it would be a difficult thing for her to go through. She had never tried training her control over drinking blood."I will be fine." Mila was still stubborn with her stance. “Bite and suck blood? That is disgusting," she grumbled, just imagining herself doing that made her flinch.Aaric rolled his eyes and threw his annoying hair behind his
Mila rolled her eyes when she heard Aaric's answer which she thought was ridiculous.A woman?! Mila really wanted to brutally beat this man.Even though what Aaric said wasn't wrong, since he was currently possessing a woman's body, he still couldn't say that with an innocent face, could he?"Go over there and get the gun she is holding, or do something before Ellen's friend goes crazy and kills us both," Mila ordered Aaric, she grabbed the man's wrist and pushed him forward.Even though Mila was suspicious of exactly what kind of a creature Claire was, because she felt that this woman in front of her was a different person, but now there was an even more urgent matter that had to be resolved first.Staggering, Aaric ended up moving toward Claire and stood beside her.Meanwhile, Claire was still in her original position, pointing a gun at Mila with a determined face. She only glanced at Aaric to make sure that her best friend was safe now."You must be an escaped research object," Cla
The moment the members of the special forces broke down the door of the room, what greeted their eyes was Mila, who had been caught by Claire with a gun pointed at her head while a woman was standing near them with a confused expression.But, of course they didn't really care about Aaric because their focus now was solely on the vampire.The special forces have heard news about a lab being attacked by a group of vampires and received special orders to retrieve their escaped research object."Good job, Lieutenant." A member of the special forces approached Claire, he seemed to be smiling with satisfaction as he removed the black mask that covered half of his face."I will escort her myself," Claire said as the man who called her Lieutenant was about to take custody of Mila from her own hands. "Just get the car ready, I will take care of her."Meanwhile, two members of the special forces came up to Aaric and flanked him on either side to take him out of the room.“This way, please,” one
Mila allowed herself to be led away by the shifter who was posing as Claire again. For one reason she wasn't sure, she felt familiar with this creature.Have they met before? But what was certain was that they did not meet when Mila was still at the research center. They must have met before then. In the vampire palace? Maybe, because Mila was originally from there, right?"Have we met before?" Mila asked, looking at the figure beside her. "I feel familiar to you."The shifter turned to Mila and smiled calmly. "You mean this figure?" He waved his hand to himself. "I do not think so.""No, but you," Mila confirmed.Claire smiled again. “Yes, we have met before. I will tell you everything once you are in a safe place. After we return to our world.”On the other hand, the special forces member who was listening to the conversation, frowned. He glanced back at Claire, confirming that the one with him was his Lieutenant, and it was Claire's figure that he saw.But, why were they talking li
If indeed all of this was the king's plan, then Mila should give him a huge thumbs up, for having come up with a plan to such detail.And after what happened, it felt like Mila became curious about the man whom they were referring to as the vampire king. Perhaps, meeting him wouldn't be such a bad idea…"Then where are we going now?" Mila asked after she finished putting on her clothes and turned around, while Dom was taking something else out of his bag, a pair of shoes."Wear these, we still have a long way to go," he said, kneeling in front of Mila, and was about to put on the shoes for her as well.However, Mila bent over and put on her own shoes. A pair of black running shoes. Why did they choose gloomy colors like these?"I thought the king would pick me up," said Mila. “Since he wanted me so much, I thought he would come see me himself.”Dom laughed softly. “It was very difficult for the king to get out of the palace, due to the assassination threats from the humans that never
Dom's heart pumped rapidly and his body began to feel cold, while his vision began to blur. This was really bad!In such a precarious situation, Dom had to get Mila off of him immediately before the princess sucked his body dry and finished him off in the process.Weakly, Dom tried to pull Mila's body away from him, keeping himself out of her reach, but Mila was too strong and her instincts told her not to let go of her prey.Meanwhile, passersbys immediately got out of the way, screaming in terror and started picking up their cell phones to either record the incident or call the special forces, informing them that non- human beings were out in the open.And if the special forces arrived there before they could sort things out, no one could guarantee that Mila would survive the situation, because it was certain that they would arrest Mila by using any way possible, maybe even kill her if Mila refused, which was very likely to happen.With great efforts, Dom tried to pull Mila's head a
Liam unclasped Mila's clenched hand, letting the still unconscious girl droop her head on his shoulder.Mila's forehead wrinkled and her eyebrows furrowed, as if she was experiencing a terrifying nightmare.Earlier, Liam had been told by Arabella that it was possible that Mila had lost her memory after decades of experimentation on her by those bastard people.Arabella knew this because she had been observing Mila for quite a long time without Aaric knowing it. In fact, when she decided to appear before Aaric, it was her own impulsive decision that was not at all in line with Liam's commands.And although their plan to pick Mila up almost failed because Aaric had taken her away, as long as Liam could get this girl again, he would use every possible means to get her back to his side.So, by ignoring the strict prohibition of the elders, Liam broke all the rules they made and came for Mila.Who would have thought that at that critical moment, Mila actually lost control because her wild
There were about seven elders sitting in their designated chairs and staring at the king with disapproval for what he had just done.According to them, going to the human world just to save Mila was not a wise move, considering what had happened to the previous kings.Liam's reckless actions shouldn't be taken lightly because there were already several vampires and other creatures they could rely on and trust to bring the queen back."The soul possessor had escaped with Princess Mila when we attacked the research center and if it wasn't for the king's quick order to change the strategy, it is certain that we would still be looking for Princess Mila's whereabouts," Andreas tried to defend Liam in front of the elders. “Moreover, after what happened with the soul possessor, we can’t trust anyone a hundred percent.” But his actions were labelled offensive in the eyes of the seven people.“You have no right to speak here!” Rang, one of the seven elders, rebuked Andreas loudly which made th
“I know that eyes…” Cosmo said in low voice, as she chuckled brightly. “I know that determination to not want to trust me. But I don’t lie when I told you that Mila is in the dungeon. She went to see her lover. What do you think about that?” she taunted the king, but this time, she indeed didn’t lie. “I don’t believe you…” Liam growled dangerously at her, but this creature seemed to not afraid of him at all. “You don’t need to do that,” Cosmo said firmly. “You will never scare me.” The only thing that Cosmo wanted from Liam was for him to bring her here, because even though she looked like Cosmo, but she was not her and whatever she did and no matter what she had done, she would never be able to open this damn door, therefore, she needed to lure him to this place. “So, you fool me because you want to know the knowledge of this place?” Liam asked, the corner of his lips tugged upward when he spoke, but he could only chuckle when Cosmo was smiling at him, which made the dark witch co
“Maybe you are right,” Aaric finally spoke and that was the first thing that he mentioned.“About?” Mila couldn’t understand about what was right about her. “Do you have some idea?” Mila asked expectanly.“I think I have, but I don’t know if this will work or not.” Aaric was hesitated to try this and he didn’t think that it would work, but they needed to try this, right? They needed to make it worked, right?Aaric gritted his teeth, as he tried to cheered himself up because this was very devastating and he didn’t know whether it was right or not to do this. The only thing that he could say was for them to try this.“Whatever it is, it will be better than we don’t do anything and wait for me to disappear like dust,” Mila said, determination in her eyes when she said that. she looked very stunning with her black hair and black eyes.Actually, Aaric loved the way she looked right now, this made her looked more mysterious and beautiful.It was not that she was not beautiful in her white h
“Let’s go.” Liam looked at Mila sternly, but when he tried to take her hand again, she avoided him.“No, let’s see first. They are inside the room.” Mila didn’t want to back down, she insisted for the king to open the door and take a look inside. “This is only for a while, it will not take a minute if they are not here. You are already here, so why don’t you take a look inside the room?”“Why are you so insisting for me to take a look inside?” Liam narrowed his eyes because he couldn’t understand this. “You are so sure that they were inside. How do you know that?”Liam narrowed his eyes to look at her closely because he didn’t believe at all what she was saying right now. How could she know ant insist that they were inside when she didn’t even have any clue about it?“I am sure that they are inside,” Mila insisted, she looked at him with pleading eyes, as she tried to make him understand the situation. “You are already here, why don’t you just humor me and walk into that door to see w
Liam’s gaze hardened when he heard that. “You were attacked?” He looked at her deeply into her eyes when he said this.“Yes, I were attacked, she attacked me and I couldn’t avoid it and the next thing that I know, this is what happen to me.” Mila looked at strands of her hair, as Liam did the same thing.He took strands of her hair and looked at it closely, as he tried to see what kind of magic was there. “What curse that she used on you?” Liam asked in furious tone.He didn’t want anything happened to his wife, they had just married a few hours ago, but the problem had come bombarding them from all direction, how could they avoid this situation?This surely drove Liam crazy just to think about it alone. He really wanted to kill all of those bastards human.But then, this problem came up and he couldn’t ignore it.“We need to go to the forbidden room,” Mila demanded, snapped Liam back to reality because he didn’t respond to her words. “We need to go there before its too late,” she sai
“You know that I am right, right?” Aaric asked her. “You skipped your class.”Pouting, Mila looked at Aaric in disdain look. “I was not skipping class,” Mila said grimly. “I was not paid attention, that’s all.”After saying that, Mila grumbled something under her breath incoherently, meanwhile, Aaric just smiled softly to see her like this.But, his smile faded when he realized Mila’s current situation right now.It was clear to see that her hair and eyes had started to become darker and darker, she didn’t look like herself right now and this was really concerning. He didn’t know what was the right thing to do at this moment, but one thing for sure, this had to be stopped right away or else they would really lose Mila forever.The thought alone left Aaric speechless.For certain level, he could relate Mila’s condition to his own condition, because he didn’t have his own body, his own form, if they lost from this world, it would be only their soul that was left, but in that case, no on
“This is not you, Mila.” Aaric cupped her face and brushed away her tears. “Now, we need to go out from here, okay? If you don’t want to see it, you don’t need to, you can close your eyes and I will lead you out of this room.”Mila nodded, but she didn’t close her eyes just like what Aaric said. “Do you know how to face this curse?” Mila asked, as she was so afraid because her hair started to become even darker than before, she bit her lisp helplessly.If her time passed and there was nothing she could do, what would happen to her? Leaving like a ghost for another decades?Was this that had happened to Cosmo? Was this what happened to her before this? That soemoene had tricked her in this problem and made her lived in that way for another few decades?Mila gritted her teeth she didn’t think this was a nice idea for her to believe this, but then she couldn’t help it. She was afraid about what could happen to her right now.“Don’t be afraid, we can find a way to this problem.” Aaric kis
“Are you okay?” Mila asked, as she approached the cage and when she tried to touch it, she immediately retracted her hands and then watched in fear to the blazing steel.Yes, it didn’t burn Aaric, but the steel was very hot because of the fire beneath it.“This is so hot!” Mila complained she was stunned. She was shocked to realize that Aaric had been there for a long time.How could he endure all of that? was he crazy to be able to put up with that? Mila was not sure what she was thinking right now…“How can you be here?” Aaric started to ask her because there was no way she would be here without any help. “Why are you here?” that was the question that he wanted to ask the most.Actually, there were a few more question that he wanted to ask her, but those two were the most question that he wanted to the answer of.“I am here because I have to be here.” Mila furrowed her brows, this was not the time to ask this question, since they needed to get him out of there.Didn’t he want to go
Mila felt she was so tired, but then when she bent down and her hair slid from her shoulder, she could see her hair was not as white as before. It started to turn grey.The color had started to get darker than before and this made her scared to say the least, because she knew what would come to her after this. How could she do not scare when it came to this.Would she disappear? The thought of it alone made Mila had to grit her teeth and clench her jaw, just in order for her to keep her focus. She needed her focus now and didn’t disarray from her first intention.Yet, it was hard to shake her own worriness, since this was something that she couldn’t deny. Sooner or later, she would disappear, just like how Cosmo told her. Her hair became grey right now, which meant it would be dark black in a few hours again.And at that time, when all of that happened, there was nothing that Mila could do again. There was no turning back from that point.She would doom and if Mila was the only person
It was Cosmo all along, it was her, who wanted to sit on the throne and was crowned as the queen. This was all the curse about. She was the one, who wanted all of this.And Mila just realized it now. it was too late…It was too late for her right now to change anything. How could she be so stupid to just realize it now? but then, who would have thought that this kind of magic was existed and moreover, how could someone like Cosmo became like her?This simply didn’t make any sense and moreover, she had never heard this type of magic at all, not to mention that, even Liam didn’t believe about the existence of the curse. She didn’t believe her about Cosmo, he always thought that she was only her imagination, it was only hallucination.“What is it, Mila? I have not yet answer but the look on your face had told me that you already knew what is my ultimate goal is.” Cosmo tilted her head, she gave this look whenever she looked down on Mila. “Why don’t you say it to me about what is your bes
