The Taste of Heaven 17. The Annual Test
After Nevea's last meeting with Sara, everything went well in her life. She enjoyed her mundane routine. Today was supposed to be the day Vlassta announced the group for the annual test. That was why hunters with experience of fewer than ten years gathered in the hallway, facing the big screen hanging on the wall. "I have a bad feeling," Lola whispered to her. Ever since Cristy and Nevea's confrontation, wariness never left Lola, even for a second. Nevea pinched Lola's arm playfully. "Don't worry. Nothing will happen." She turned her head in Raven's direction and smiled at him as she knew Raven was also worried about her. "But I—" Lola's words were cut short by the crowd's loud shout of cheer and annoyance. The screen had changed from pitch black to white, showing a list of names. There were ten different groups, and Nevea fell into group B with Cristy and Ryan. While Lola was in group E along with Raven and someone she had never heard of. Below the group name was the location for
The Taste of Heaven 18. Trapped
Moving from Nevea, Zach observed Cristy and Ryan from another monitor. Those two people behaved sneakily. Soon two other people joined them, and Zach was certain they were cooking something stupid in their empty brains. The two people who joined Cristy and Ryan were two men with distinct features. The shorter man was bald, and the big man had long brown hair tied neatly in a bun. Zach zoomed in and looked at them closely. "Unregistered vampires, huh," Zach muttered. His fingers stroked his chin, thinking about what those hunters could be thinking. He would not bother with them as long as they did not mess with Nevea.Cristy grinned when she saw the two vampires in front of her. She could already imagine Nevea's sound of agony filling this empty forest. It would be her music theme for her victory. Just a little more and Nevea's existence on earth would remain a memory, but only if she were fortunate enough to live in someone's mind. Thinking about that made Cristy's body tremble from
The Taste of Heaven 19. Sleep, Little Girl
The bald one struck an attack on her stomach while the other one held her neck captive. Their fangs bared, and eyes glowed red as the sweetest aroma of Nevea's blood invaded their nostrils. They were confident that Nevea was one of those who had high-quality blood, one that tasted heavenly. "I don't know your problem with that woman, but I will give you quick death after tasting your blood." The man with hair styled in a bun said. Nevea spit at his face; anger was palpable on her face. "I am not going to die. It's you." After saying that, she planted her blade on the vampire's neck, stabbing him repeatedly without mercy. Blood spurred to her face, yet she did not mind. Her goal was clear; she wanted the man before her to fall on her feet. The bald man was angered at Nevea's action. He jumped on her and slapped her cheeks, worsening Nevea's small wound on her lips; fresh blood flowed from the injury. "How dare you, human!" The bald man yelled. He eyed his partner lying on the ground
The Taste of Heaven 20. Angel
Around nine in the evening, Brett Floyd came to the hollow wood. He met Romy, the ground guard, at the forest entrance gate. “Evening, Mr. Floyd.” Romy greeted Brett politely. He averted Brett’s gaze. “Evening,” Brett replied. He looked at the wild forest shortly and spoke again. “I presume nothing bad happened, right?” “Yes. Everything is perfect, Mr. Floyd.” Romy let a lie slip out of his mouth. Besides two unregistered vampires that invaded the ground, nothing else happened. He believed the young vampire named Cristy would not do anything stupid. “Very well. Let’s check the ground then.” They strolled in the forest. Looking for the sign of the three hunters. The pungent smell of blood assaulted their senses as they got deeper into the woods. Several lifeless bodies were scattered on the damp soil. Brett paid no attention to those things, as it was expected to happen. Brett looked at his notes to see who was on the ground. “Cristy, Ryan, Nevea!” He yelled. However, his scream m
The Taste of Heaven 21. Chained
Nevea's eyelids quiver ever-so-slightly, adjusting to the light that entered her vision. Her hands instantly lifted to cover her eyes, but her movement was restrained. Then her eyes flung open, observing the strange environment she was in. Something heavy was on her belly, which forced her to look, and she found a muscular hand. Nevea jerked her head to the side; shock engulfed her to see Zach sleeping soundly beside her. Nevea brushed his hand off and attempted to escape, but her slight movement awakened Zach. Nevea swore when that man blinked; a thought flashed in her mind that he was illegally the perfect man who ever existed. But she pushed the unruly idea at the back of her mind. "Why am I here?" Nevea asked calmly, although her heart was anything but peaceful."You are hurt. Sleep more." Zach tried to reach her hand, but the woman slipped away. "Don't move too hard, or you'll hurt your hand." He pointed at the chain that was attached to the bedpost. Nevea was so engrossed in
The Taste of Heaven 22. A Kiss To Make It Better
Once Zach had left the room, Nevea never saw him again for three days. It was almost like he had vanished from the world. Alone in the room, Nevea had nothing to do except sleep and ate. A young woman occasionally visited her to bring the food and helped wash her body. She was not treated poorly. On the contrary, all her necessities were high quality, especially the food. She would never get to taste heavenly food other than from this place. Regardless of those treatments, anger had not subsided in her; it only grew with each passing second. Nevea kept pulling her hands forward, making them clink loudly. Strangely, she found that sound had a calming effect on her. Although her wrist was scratched and bled multiple times due to her action, she ignored it. The pain was her escape to avoid thinking about her reality. Her current situation was a complete and utter nightmare. She could not do anything to escape since she had no knowledge about her surroundings. Even if she tried, Zach or
The Taste of Heaven 23. Perfect Match
Inside the room, the rogues were poised to attack, their eyes fixed on her with a sinister hunger. Anticipation hung in the air like a noose, and their saliva pooled on the ground like oil, repulsing her. She tilted her neck left and right, easing the tension from too much sleeping. When the rogues heard Nevea's faint sound, they roared with fury and pounded toward her. She sprinted away, her eyes flicking across the room, frantically seeking a weapon she could use. When her gaze locked on a gun lying on the ground behind one of the rogues, she didn't hesitate before going for it.Behind the door, Zach sat crossed-legged, waiting patiently as he listened to Nevea's grunt and heavy breath due to her fight. His hand raised to hide a wicked smile across his face as he heard the low groan of rogues. It was entrancing, more captivating than a classic piece from a renowned musician. Then he heard her voice, strong and fierce. "Come here, fucker!" Her cursing was like a poem to him. Crazy?
The Taste of Heaven 24. Escape Plan
Raven paced back and forth in front of Logan's office. He had been waiting three days to hear news of the fate of his friend Nevea – since Vlassta had announced Cristy and Ryan were dead.The hunters began speculating who was behind the incident. Although death during the annual test was not uncommon, it still brought much light to the issue. They were already pointing fingers at Nevea, demanding that when she was found, she had to be punished immediately. That was why Raven was worried sick. If Nevea walked from the gate of Vlassta alive, she would be deemed a suspect. No one would want to welcome her except him and Lola. If Nevea were to be punished according to the law, she would get a death sentence for killing her fellow hunters. Raven's heart raced as he saw Lola step out of Logan's office. He rushed towards her, desperate for news. "What did he say?" he asked urgently. Lola looked away and sadly shook her head; her shoulders slumped in defeat. "There is no news yet, and when

Gio looked up to see the beautiful moon shining brightly for them. Beside him was Efrain, who had taken off his black hood, showing his disfigured face. They were in the middle of the forest. New vampires they had turned before were put in the coffin. They were positioned in a circle. At the center was a flat stone, a place for Nevea.Efrain laughed, knowing he would get what he wanted in a matter of hours. Years of waiting in agony would be worth it. Efrain snapped his head to the back. “Ah, Zach and our fairy are already here,” Efrain mumbled. Then inhaled and exhaled through his mouth before focusing on making an illusion for them. That should be enough to make Zach busy. “What about Vlassta, Master?”“Release our warrior.” “Understood, Master.”***Nevea, Zach, and Vlassta moved inside the forest from different sides. Zach walked at the front while extending his hand to Nevea so they would not separate. Silas was also with them. He trailed behind Nevea. They had decided to l

"Everything has been settled, Master." Gio talked while sitting far away from his master. "Have you found out about the other fairy?" Gio's body tremored because he did not get a whim of the fairy who messed with their place. It only meant that the fairy was not as clueless as Nevea. Perhaps, the fairy was here on a mission. "Unfortunately, I can't find anything, Master."Efrain, the master, waved his hand in the air producing a strong wind that went in Gio's direction. The wind managed to slice the skin on Gio's cheek, yet his loyal servant did not budge from his seat. Gio received the punishment willingly since he was not capable enough. "Prepare the puppet and leave me alone." Efrain walked back and forth in his room. He had an inkling that the other fairy would ruin his plan. More importantly, he could guess that the fairy would do something unimaginable. For now, he was sure that the fairy wanted Nevea. "Zach, Vlassta, and now there is another fairy involved." Efrain slamm
The Taste of Heaven 71. Picking A Side
Raven rubbed his eyes after seeing Nevea sleep peacefully on the chair next to his bed. The woman appeared to be peaceful. Her hair which had now changed to brown fell freely on her back. Her chest kept rose and falling in a steady rhythm. The view that greeted him brought a content smile to Raven’s mouth. Gathering all his power, Raven changed his position to sit and face Nevea directly. He watched her intently like a fool in love. Oh, right. He was indeed a fool in love. It felt like years since the last time he saw her. So against his better judgment, Raven extended his hand to reach for her and feel her cheek against his skin. The warmth made Raven’s smile bloom even more. He swore he could watch her like this for eternity. “Stop looking at my woman like that.” Came cold and dangerous to destroy all the fairy tales in Raven’s head. Raven looked past Nevea’s shoulder and found Zach leaning on the door frame with arms folded before his chest while his legs crossed together. Tha
The Taste of Heaven 70. Dilemma
After their talk, Nevea and Zach spend their time searching for a clue by hanging out in the library. First, they read each book that contains demons and fairies. But, all the information they got was far from what they had experienced. When they read the history of demons, it is always related closely to hell and another sort of religion. And about fairies, it was just a story of a bunch of cute little things. What they read was pretty much useless. Not even once they mentioned purity. Kindness was there, but the ridiculous rule about desire was not mentioned. At this point, they were desperate. There was no way of knowing if these things unless they got all the puzzles inside their head. Kiara was out of options because that woman literally ceased from earth. Not only Kiara but Jude also went missing. There was no trace of Gio either. “What about your human friend?”“Raven? There has been no reply until today.”“Your friend is useless. You should’ve let my people do their job in
The Taste of Heaven 69. Raven's Action
Raven read the words on the tiny papers in his hand. Robert Dixon is working with The Bloody Movement. Don’t tell Logan until you get concrete proof. There was no sign of who wrote that note. It just appeared out of the blue three days ago. Since then, Raven could not look at Robert the same way. His mind filled with many speculations about that doctor. So, he began looking for a clue. “You’ve been staring at dr. Dixon for too long. Are you changing your preference after Nevea’s rejection?” Lola asked as she chewed her food. She had realized Raben’s strange gaze towards Robert since yesterday. At first, she thought that maybe Raven had something to discuss with Robert, but after seeing the intensity of Raven’s stare, Lola was not sure anymore that Raven wanted to consult with Robert. “Nonsense.”“Then why are you looking at him like that? You look like a creep.”“Don’t mind me; just eat your food,” Raven told her, then focused again on Robert. When Robert finally stepped out of
The Taste of Heaven 68. Confession?
As if everything was not enough. A sudden mass of vampires came from each side of the corner, surrounding Nevea and Zach. The new vampires stared at them with intense killing intent in their eyes. Zach scoffed. The nerve that bloody movement people for making this stupid plan. He looked at Nevea, who had lost half of her consciousness while battling with her pain. He caressed her hair softly and then murmured. "I'll be back."After saying that, Zach immediately went into a complete killing machine. He slayed each vampire that tried to get close to him or Nevea. He brutally killed them without battling an eye. He smiled each time he ripped the vampire's head from its body. Despite the heavy scent of blood and the loud echo of their cry, Zach found that it brought him a sense of peace. It was like this is how it was supposed to be. Him killing everyone without mercy. "All of you should die." He said, then snapped the vampire's head. Since he was focusing on the front, one of the v

As the process was done, Gio and Robert left the container. Leaving Jude alone to deal with the rest of the task. Zach kicked the closet open and walked out without worrying that Gio and Robert would be back again. Nevea trailed behind Zach, still in shock that Robert was part of The Bloody Movement. "Where is their final destination?" Zach inquired while scanning the whole area again. "We will bring them to another container in Grouver." "Drive normally, and we will be right behind you."Jude obeyed. Once again, Zach and Nevea drove in silence. They followed the big truck that brought twenty new vampires to Grouver. The snippet of Robert and Gio's conversation still left a bad taste in Zach's mouth. He wondered who their master was because the master seemed to know a lot more than Kiara. Zach believed it would be good to meet face-to-face with the so-called master. "Do you think we should tell Logan about Robert?" Nevea probed the question that had been bugging her for a while
The Taste of Heaven 66. True Face
The pungent scent of antiseptic dominated the container. Around an hour ago, Jude helped them sneak in after the talk with Gio. Overall, their conversation revealed nothing significant. It was just a simple report about the number of humans Jude has.Gio left as soon as he confirmed Jude had twenty humans and reminded them that the transformation would be held thirty minutes before midnight. So now here, Nevea and Zach, stuck in a big closet with a small hole to see the outside of the area.Feeling annoyed at Zach’s constant movement, Nevea nudged him with her elbow and said, “Stop moving around, Zach. They will hear you.”“They won’t,” Zach replied nonchalantly while focusing on looking from the small hole.“What is happening out there?”“Nothing has happened yet. Your fellow humans are still lying miserably on their beds, waiting for their death.”“They won’t die. Tomorrow they will be your fellow vampires.”“Aren’t you going to help them? Save them from turning into a blood-sucking
The Taste of Heaven 65. Back To Stormsire
“Where are we going?” Nevea asked when Zach started the engine. Yesterday, they made a deal not to talk about the whole ‘wife’ thing again until they got their memories back. Fortunately, after hugging him for a while, Zach regained his composure back. However, he still refused to talk about his feelings. “To hunt for the bloody movement. They are going to perform another transforming process today in Stormsire.” “How did you know that?”“I have my way.”The rest of the journey was spent in silence. Nevea didn’t bother to dig further into Zach’s informant and kept his mouth shut for the whole ride. Seeming not wanting to talk with her for even a second. When they passed the gate, the familiar views greeted them.Unlike the first time she visited, it was pouring hard this time, making the busy road turn silent. Only a few were wandering outside. Their car came to a halt in front of the bar. Zach’s elbow rested on the car’s window while his other hand gripped the steering wheel. H
