The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 32 – Woods Surprise
(Brielle’s POV)It was a full moon.I looked heavenward, wishing the lunar disk was visible to the naked eye, but the clouds assembled above like puffs of cotton, only gray, blocking the moon’s luminescence to earth. Even the sparkling diamonds of stars were shielded, making it look like they were not interested in guiding us tonight on our journey in the dark woods. The full moon had always represented transformation with more intense-emotional energy, but as it hid in the clouds, it was challenging to see the trails snaking through the woods. It took my eyes to adjust in the dark, and I had to trust my other senses to walk the rich earth.No one dared to use the flashlight, but suddenly, the light brightened the ground, making the twisted aerial roots, twigs, and sprawling weeds visible to us. Gen hissed as if she was an animal or insect startled when she saw the light.“What? Flashlights are invented for times like this, you know,” Kione chuckled nervously as she explained.We wer

(Brielle’s POV)“Shit!” Gen cursed, moving quickly as six more vampires leaped to the ground.My eyes quickly glanced at everyone, and I must admit, Lucilla was very skilled, like her brother. She was near her sister, fighting those coming near Kione, but one burly man pushed Lucilla, causing her to fall to the ground a bit far from the one she was protecting.Kione screamed when a vampire pounced on her, but before the creature could grab her, she moved quickly to her side. Not used to the battleground, Kione cried for help as she fell to the earth, but those people who promised to protect her were busy fighting. She groped the ground and grabbed a rock, giving all her strength to strike it at her attacker. It hissed when she hit its face, but she shrieked, realizing it only angered her assailant. She went on all fours and crawled toward the tree, hoping to hide, but the vampire caught her foot.Gen jumped to the female vampire, pulling her hair and sticking her knife to its back, b

(Brielle’s POV)Xian was already waiting on the porch, and as soon as Ichiro opened the gate, she ran in our direction. Her face was flooded with fear as she peeked her head to find him, chewing her bottom lip as she glanced at me, then at Gen. “Where’s Cole?” she asked worriedly, peering her head at the gate, even raising her heels when her tall siblings entered the private area. “Cole?” She was likely to cry as she looked for him.“I’m here,” Cole answered calmly as he walked past us.As soon as Xian saw him, she gasped, seeing the blood that mapped crimson on his shirt. The horror in her eyes could not be hidden as she met his eyes. I watched him raise his hand, smiling gently at her as he cupped her right cheek.“I’m fine. Don’t worry about me, Xian.” He glanced at Kione. “Scan Kione’s body. Make sure she’s okay. I’ll wait for you in the infirmary.”Kione did not fight in the woods, yet he worried about her. What was annoying, I was jealous he thought of her more than me since s

(Brielle’s POV)If not for the pain reliever Xian gave me, I would probably not wink a bit. It was a long night for everyone, but I was alone in the hospital bed in their infirmary when I woke up. It was eerily quiet, but as I got up, it was the same time Aarush entered the door.“Good morning! Want breakfast? Lunch? Gen’s at the kitchen with Kione and Ichiro,” he smiled, glancing at me before turning his focus to the computer near my bed.I nodded as I climbed down from the bed. It was hard to see if it was night or day in the infirmary, but as I got to the living room, I realized it was almost midday. Not bothering to go to the kitchen, I dashed to the only room I wanted to go to, but as I was already in front of Cole’s door, I could not find the strength to touch the knob.Squeezing my eyes shut and taking a deep breath, I took much courage to open the door. I was sure he knew I was inside his bedroom, but Cole did not bother to turn around. He was standing, shirtless, at the open

(Brielle’s POV)As I listened to Cole telling me about the story of their great-great grandparents, Selene, the moonlight goddess, and Ambrogio, I thought it was nothing but a fictitious tale to entertain adults and scare children. Although the Order of the Orion had all these stories written in one book, nothing was said about their vampire children living on earth with different ideals. They were all the same; they created, drank their blood to be like them, and enslaved the ones they turned. There was no story about those kinds whom the gods blessed and were given a chance to live among people.There were stories about male vampires making their mortal wives pregnant, but none about them bearing offspring and living like ordinary humans if they wished to. According to Cole, their slow aging stopped them from living among them.“You’ve never bitten anyone in your life?” I asked curiously.He shook his head. “We take our rules seriously, Brielle. We can only take those which were don
Last Updated : 2022-12-11The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 37 – We Are Enemies
(Brielle’s POV)Perhaps my blood was pumping excitedly inside my body because my heart was thumping hard inside my chest. I didn’t give myself much chance to think whether it was right or wrong to offer my blood, but after what he did to me last night, saving and protecting me, I was willing to give even a part of my life and blood.“Bite me, Cole. I’m your willing subject,” I whispered.When I pressed my skin to his lips, he grabbed my wrist, and before I could even wink, he was already in front of me, opening his mouth and baring his fangs, ready to bite me. Cole leaned my head to the side, and willingly, I gave him access to my neck and shoulders.My eyes closed, feeling his warm breath on my neck, and before I could recoil, he buried his fangs in my flesh. I thought of scary images of vampires sucking blood from their victims, but it was only for a few seconds because instead of feeling the pang from his sharp teeth, I was in ecstasy.I was his willing subject, but I never thought
Last Updated : 2022-12-13The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 38 – Love at First Bite
(Cole’s POV)I was healing fast because it was Brielle’s blood, not someone else. The blood of the mate would always be potent whether the partner was a vampire, human, or even a werewolf. When she gave me permission to bite and drink her blood, I knew she had opened her heart and accepted me for who I was. It made our connection stronger, making us powerful, but despite that, Brielle was my own version of kryptonite.Brielle’s kiss was demanding, waiting hungrily for me to kiss her back. My hand slid the back of her neck, pushing her closer to me as I devoured her mouth, sliding my tongue into her parted lips and deepening our kiss as she eagerly welcomed me.Slowly, I lay her back on the mattress and tore her blouse, not minding unbuttoning it or pulling off her clothes. I didn’t want to break our kiss, but as my hand grazed her neck to her mounds, she arched her body toward me and grabbed my hand to touch her beautiful breast, silently begging me to kiss her elsewhere.“Oh, Cole,”

(Cole’s POV)“You’re just thinking it because you’ve seen my life, Brielle,” I said, kissing her forehead and noting in my mind to call my father if it was possible that humans could get hungry with blood when they willingly gave their blood to their masters.But Brielle was not my slave, not even my willing subject.She startled me when she took my wrist, bit me, and laughed hard when my body jolted with her sudden attack. She looked adorable, and I would never get tired of gazing at her charming smile for eternity. I gasped when she licked her lips and kissed my palm before placing it on her cheek.“I don’t want this day to end, Cole,” she muttered and smiled.My eyes narrowed, thinking, what if Brielle tasted my blood?“Are you always this curious?” I asked her, taking my hand away from her cheek and placing my fingers on her hair to brush a few strands from her face.“Yeah. Maybe I was destined to meet you, Cole,” she grinned. “But they said drinking vampire blood would turn you i

The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 89 – The Curse
(Brielle’s POV)“So?” Xian blinked curiously at Bryce.I was still in shock at what Bryce did to Lucilla. Although I could not say if what I felt was jealousy, there was a prick in my heart, remembering Cole and Levana’s union and now him kissing Lucilla. I clenched my hands, hiding my worries about what she might do to him. I couldn’t shake off the disturbing thoughts that he gave her a reason to kill him.“So… What?” Bryce asked, wiping his lips on the back of his hand as if he had something awful in his mouth.“No magic?” Xian’s eyes were wide as she asked. “Spark? Or…”Bryce scoffed. “If you think I can be her life mate, you’re wasting your time. I told you I want to kill her with irritation, thinking I was -”Ichiro burst into laughter, interrupting Bryce. “Wow! I can’t believe you fell for that,” he exclaimed.“You said…” His face turned crimson as he pursed his lips tightly.“You really believe that? God, how would we know?” Xian rolled her eyes and scoffed. “Our sister’s eight
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 88 – First Kiss From The Worst Enemy
(Brielle’s POV)“I thought they could not read our minds?” Bryce asked, followed by his surprised gasp.Lucilla smirked. “Idiot! I don’t need to read her mind to know what she’s thinking.” She rolled her eyes and continued to climb the stairs.Bryce opened his mouth to retaliate, but Xian grabbed his arm, taking his attention.“I need your blood, hunter,” she smiled and blinked her eyes adorably. When he didn’t move, she sneered. “You need me to check if your blood’s healthy or…”“No need,” he sighed, frowning at the stairs. “If she can fly, why does she have to use the stairs?”I pressed my lips to suppress a smile, but when I looked at Xian and Ichiro, I was glad a laugh did not leave my mouth. They frowned, not finding his joke funny.“Not funny?” Bryce smirked.I glared at him, warning him to stop before Xian decided to get every ounce of blood from his body.““What? I can’t joke, but she’s allowed to hurt my feelings?” Bryce smirked. “Is she always like that?”Xian rolled her ey
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 87 – The Only Way
(Brielle’s POV)“Gen, what have you done?” I murmured in horror, gasping in disbelief and standing beside Bryce.Bryce stood frozen in the doorway, his eyes widened and his mouth agape. His hands tightly gripped the knife handle, but he seemed unable to move it. He had probably tried to pull it out, but what he had witnessed inside the luxurious log house immobilized him. Like Bryce, I was in a state of shock. We both stood there for what seemed like an eternity, trying to process what had just happened.“Brielle, help me.”Immediately, I wandered my eyes around the room, looking for Kione. She was sitting in the farthest corner of the room, almost like hiding. Her body shook as she sobbed, and when our eyes met, I felt a pang of sadness in my heart. Gen was on the couch, motionless, and her left arm was hanging limply on the floor. The blood on her wrist told us what had happened before we arrived.Gen…I could not believe Gen was dead.“Oh, dear heaven! Kione, what have you done?”
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 86 – The Cry
(Brielle’s POV)I parted my lips, welcoming his tongue, hoping that when it touched mine, it would bring a surging reaction inside me, but nothing melted… nothing exploded. But I could say that Bryce was not only a skilled hunter but also an expert kisser.As Bryce wrapped his arms around my waist, closing the gap in our bodies, I lifted my arms, clinging like a vine to his neck, closing my eyes, and kissing him back with the hope of pushing away the pain of remembering Cole, not wanting me in his life, andHow should I define our kiss?It was sweet and…Bryce broke the kiss before I could finish describing it and eased back. His lips turned into an amused grin. He lifted his hand and grazed my cheek.“Done analyzing?” He chuckled softly.I bet my cheeks blushed because he laughed again. “I am not analyzing, Bryce,” I denied. “If it wasn’t obvious, let me tell you… I am kissing you, and I can say you’re good.”“Good?” he smirked, his eyes on my lips.I swallowed hard, looking elsewher
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 85 – The Welcomed Intention
(Brielle’s POV)The diamond in the engagement ring on my finger sparkled when sunlight kissed the stone. I didn’t know why I still wore it when, in my heart, I knew I would not marry Bryce. After Levana left, I decided to stay and sit under the tree, looking blankly at the woods, not caring if there was a danger ahead of me.Even if the highest official of the Order of the Orion would come and threaten to kill me, I would not care. What I had seen in the cabin and what Levana had said were enough to make my body numb, and if anyone pierced a knife to my heart, the pain was too much to feel anything.“Brielle.”He seemed distant, and his worried call made me blink in confusion as I listened to the familiar voice. “Brielle,” he called again, shaking my shoulder.When I craned my neck to see who it was, I blinked again and saw Bryce standing before me. My eyes narrowed as I looked at him from head to foot. I noticed he was dressed in full gear, with all his weapons strapped to his body.
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 84 – Enemies Can't Be Together
(Brielle’s POV)A cry escaped my mouth, remembering Cole, moaning Levana’s name. It shattered my heart into a million pieces, and the pain was beyond incomparable to anything painful that I could think of. I didn’t know how I managed to move, but as soon as I could, I ran away from the cabin. My eyes were blurry because of the endless tears rolling down my face, but despite that, I didn’t stop running. I didn’t care where my feet led me; I just wanted to get out of this place… of this island. Then I stopped abruptly, pressing my hands against the rough bark of the tree trunk and gasping for air, realizing one thing. I was running in a circle and never reaching the inside of the protective sphere. My body was still shaking from running and crying, and when I looked around to gather my thoughts and steady my breathing.“Damn it!” I hissed, looking up and planning to get up on the tree to see where I was exactly.Four days ago, as I set foot on this island, I admired its beauty, but n
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 83 – The Undeniable Message
(Brielle’s POV)Lying on the couch in the dimly lit living room, my eyes were drawn to the old grandfather clock standing in the corner. It was five minutes before one in the morning. I didn’t have to spend eternity with the Kirkwood not to know Aarush’s pattern. At this wee hour, he would go down, walk to the kitchen alone, and have his midnight snack before going to bed.Humming, Aarush’s steps creaked on the wooden floor as he walked toward the kitchen. I leaped to the ground, landing softly in front of him.“Uh-oh!” Aarush groaned and turned around, trying to escape.I lunged forward and grabbed the collar of his shirt, pulling him towards me. Determined to keep him under control, I maneuvered his arms behind his back quickly, pinning them in place with a firm grip. I could feel the tension in Aarush’s body as he wriggled, trying to escape, so with one hand holding onto his wrist, I used my other arm and applied pressure to his neck, making sure he could not move an inch.“Not so
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 82 – Return To Me
(Brielle’s POV)Lucilla stood before the grand, arched window wall from the living room. In her slim but long white summer dress, she could pass like a ghost as if waiting for the return of a loved one. After getting the result from the sample I gave, Xian gave me medicine that knocked me out, and when I woke up, it was past four in the afternoon. I thought Lucilla was alone, but when I climbed down the stairs and got to the living room, Gen was on the couch, brushing Kione’s hair with her fingers as her girlfriend rested on her lap. Xian and Travis were on the floor, sitting with crossed legs and heads almost sticking together while their eyes pinned on the screen of a laptop, murmuring what seemed to be a heated discussion, while Aarush and Ichiro were in the bar area, drinking beer. Not that I was worried about Bryce, but not seeing him inside made me anxious. I didn’t trust Travis, and he could have done something terrible to him. Bryce may be a skilled hunter, but Travis be
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 81 – Suddenly A Pressing Concern
(Brielle’s POV)“How did you know?” My eyes were wide as I asked curiously.Gen pressed her lips tightly and guffawed when she could no longer hold it. “God, I can’t believe I got you,” she said, her face red from laughing. “Brielle, you graduated at the top of your class. You’re the best hunter in your batch, and yet, you’re… you’re -”“Stupid?” I continued for her. Her eyes filled with tears, and she gasped for breath until she was able to calm down. She took a deep breath and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes before turning to me.“Brielle, Levana’s family is like the Kirkwood’s protector,” she said with a look of amusement and disbelief. “Didn’t Travis tell you they’re twins, and their family has been serving the Kirkwood for a very long time? Their dad serves in their council, like your dad to the Order.”I sighed and pursed my lips, not answering her question. I knew the first one, but Travis didn’t need to tell me what they do for the Kirkwood. Levana came to rescu
