The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 39 – Sweet Blood
(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 40 – Not Welcome
(Brielle’s POV)“Fifteen minutes.”Aarush alerted us when he walked to the kitchen but stopped at the island to grab a garlic cheese breadstick from the rectangular white platter Xian had baked. Cole explained to me that this was Xian’s way of releasing stress. Baking. Today she had chosen Ichiro and Aarush’s favorite snack, and she seemed to have succeeded when Aarush moaned as he took a bite. He finished one piece before sitting across from us.“Should we stay here and wait?” Ichiro glanced at us before opening the refrigerator.Before Aarush came, he and Kione were planning what to serve for dinner, part of their drama of making everyone nothing but ordinary. I wanted to remind them that we knew they were vampire hunters and that there was no need to pretend, but I understood their worries. None of us would like others to have a hint that Cole and Lucilla were different.“Should we stay here and wait?” he asked curiously. “We could stay in the family room.”“Too late. They’re at th
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 41 – More Time
(Brielle’s POV)“What do you mean you can’t?” I asked Giles and then glanced at Lucilla, who shrugged as she looked in Giles’ direction. “It’s up to him if he wants to stay here or get inside,” she said, raising both hands and turning her back on us.“I can’t,” he repeated and sighed, waiting for Lucilla to be gone. “I need to talk to you before joining the others inside.”I almost breathed in relief, but I held my breath, not wanting him to think there was something more about what happened last night. Pursing my lips, I glanced at the ajar door and then nodded at him, walking toward the door and closing it.“What do you want to talk about?” I asked, sitting on the step Gen sat on a while ago.“About last night,” He began, leaning on the railing, facing the door as if waiting for anyone to go out. “What exactly happened?”Ah! He was confirming Gen’s report. Raising my eyebrows, I tilted my head and smirked at him.“Didn’t Gen tell you everything?” I asked, looking him in the eye.“W
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 42 – Passing the Initiation
(Cole’s POV)“You think this is enough?” Kione asked without looking at us.Kione breathed out nervously as she studied the food served at the dinner table, then raised her index finger, counting the plates she had placed on the table. If the dishes she and Ichiro prepared were not enough, only they could know about it. Dessert, maybe?“Don’t worry, Kione. This is like a feast for us already,” Gen chuckled. “We don’t get the chance to eat a full meal while on a hunt.”She turned her head and smiled at Gen as she brought the one Kione thought might be missing, the drinks.“Really? That hard to be a hunter, huh?” Her eyebrows knitted for a second, then she shrugged her shoulders. “How about a massage later?”“I’d love that,” she winked at her. “Giving Brielle a massage later, Cole?” She turned to me, wiggling her eyebrows, her lips curving a naughty smile.Gen guffawed when Brielle’s cheeks turned red but pressed her lips when she saw Aarush leading the others to the dining room. She li
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 43 – We Have All Night
(Brielle’s POV)I could not stop pacing the room when we entered the master’s bedroom. Giles must be kidding me, doing one of his tricks to prove I didn’t belong to them. I nearly had a panic attack when he announced his change of plan of not going back tomorrow to our headquarters.Cole’s three sisters, except for Gen, were sitting on the edge of the Alaskan bed and following my every movement. Gen was lying on her stomach, her chin on her arms as she looked at me.“Is she okay?” I heard Kione whispering to her girlfriend.“I’m not sure, but I didn’t know there’s such a thing as an initiation in the group,” she climbed down the bed and blocked my way. “Why don’t you just think of this as your chance of Giles and Adam seeing you as their equal?”My lips puckered up as I stared at her. “Why are you giving so much away, Gen?”“Me?” She raised her eyebrows, pointing her index fingers at herself.I shook my head because I didn’t know if it was Gen or me who was giving too much information
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 44 – Mine… Forever
(Cole’s POV)The sun was just about to rise from the horizon, but Giles and his men were already out, engaging in physical activity. The night must have gifted them with good sleep because they seemed full of energy as they ran. I stood by the patio, pretending to have my coffee, but I was actually watching their moves, studying their strengths and ability.It was just after the witching hour when I woke up as Brielle got up and climbed down from the bed. I pretended to be asleep so she would not feel obligated to return to bed, but as she walked naked to pick up her clothes, I could not stop watching her get dressed. When she turned her gaze to the bed and saw me awake, she gave me a wicked smile, walked toward me in her sexy clothes, and kissed me ferociously before walking out of the bedroom.Giles called them, giving them some time for stretching and then doing hand-to-hand combat after pairing Gen and Adam, and Brielle against Bryce. My head moved in the direction where Brielle a
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 45 – Not Ready To Leave
(Brielle’s POV)“You won, but you look like you lost,” Cole tilted his head to look at my face as we walked toward the kitchen, hoping to have a cup of coffee.A while ago, I was ecstatic, but now I looked like someone who won the lottery but lost my ticket. It was never a good win. I have seen how Bryce and Giles fought, and they were not here in the best squad in the Order if they were not good in the field.“Here’s what I thought,” I whispered, leaning closer to him. “Bryce was trying to be nice to me because you’re watching, and Giles wanted to go easy on me.”He chuckled, kissing my temple. “You, my huntress, are good. If I had not seen you fight, I would have believed they took it easy on you.”I sighed, glad that Cole could not read my mind. It would have been embarrassing if he knew that I had this intuition that Bryce liked me and that Giles had something running on his mind like an evil plan.“How about we do the training together?” Cole asked as we reached the kitchen.“Bri
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 46 – A Surprise In The Woods
(Brielle’s POV)There was something homey about the woods, maybe because I grew up in a place nearly like this. From here, it would take a total of ten hours to reach the headquarters since we had to cross water. It was located on an eleven square kilometers island that had never been included on the map as if it had never existed.The headquarters covered almost three square kilometers of the island, and the remaining eleven were mostly the woods, farms, and the town, which included the church, schools, residential areas, and small businesses, but all owned by the members of the Order of the Orion.My father, who held a high position in the Order, has the privilege of living in an exclusive residential area. Our home was perched in the middle of the woods, where I grew up, and was mostly trained by my parents. This was one of Giles’ many reasons for not liking me. He worked so hard to be one of the best hunters, and he thought I became part of his troop because of connections.Earlie

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
