The Taste of Heaven 25. Silas's Choice
Silas' footsteps were soft, almost imperceptible, as he left Nevea and Zach behind. His lips moved silently as he whispered a prayer for Nevea's wellbeing. Then, he sauntered away with a determined look on his face as he knew he had to choose a side by the end of the night. Silas entered the throne room, and Levi was there, sitting lazily with his legs wide open as he watched the moon from the vast window. "You are done early today." Levi greeted him without averting his gaze from the stunning light of the moon.Silas took a seat across from Levi and probed a question. "I need your advice."That completely caught Levi's attention. His body moved swiftly to face him, and his temple frowned. "You are the advisor here, and I am the king. You should be asking yourself.""I am serious. This is between life and death."Silas's darkening gaze and the deep, low rumble of his voice told Levi he was dead serious. The air became still and oppressive."Okay, what is it?" Levi rested his back aga
The Taste of Heaven 26. Consequence
Zach returned to his residence around nine in the evening. He hummed as he made his way toward the second floor. On his hand was a big plastic back that contained his gift for Nevea. With every step he took, a trail of blood fell to paint the marble floor. As he walked, he could feel the heavy tension in the air. He glanced around and met the eyes of several people who had gathered there. Their eyes widened with fear, and some even took a step back. Zach was used to the fear that followed him like a shadow, but today the intensity of their reactions seemed magnified by ten or a hundred times.His brows arched in question, but none dared to step in and explain to him. "What happened?" He asked coldly. They were glancing at each other, forcing one another to bring the news to him. Their action made Zach's brows deepen. "The…the room on the second floor—"Even before his servant finished his sentence, Zach had moved in a flash. He watched as the door was left ajar; there was no sign o
The Taste of Heaven 27. A Visit to Palace
Raven stayed with Nevea in her room while Lola went away as her boyfriend, Ian, suddenly called for her. The atmosphere between them suddenly turned stiff, as they did not know what to say to each other. Nevea kept glancing at Raven and to the door, and so did Raven. Raven took a sharp breath and braved himself to put his palm on top of hers, "Are you okay?" he asked tenderly. Nevea gave a weak smile and clasped his fingers as if she needed strength from him. But, honestly, she was not okay. Her head was still filled with the thought of ruining Zach with her hands. It was too much, almost impossible for her to hold her anger. "You don't seem okay to me. Do you want to talk about it?""No, but can you hug me?" Her eyes bore into his. Tiredness was palpable in her blue orbs, and Raven did not have the heart to refuse. "Come here." Raven opened his arms wide, and Nevea hugged him without hesitation. He was warm, probably the warmest living being she had ever known. "You know, Rave, I
The Taste of Heaven 28. Zachary Dacre
Logan and Robert strode leisurely in the hallway of the palace. In front of them was the commander of the royal guard, Vito West. They arrived at the palace twenty minutes before their appointment, and Vito was tasked to show them the way. Usually, a low-ranked guard would be responsible for escorting visitors, but it seemed like the royals were a bit wary of their visit, so they let the commander lead them. "Please," Vito opened the door to the office room, letting the two enter, and he followed behind. Robert and Logan entered the room. King-Levi, and his advisor, Silas, were in the room. They immediately pay their respect by bowing their head slightly. "I believe it's been a long time since we saw each other, Logan. I wouldn't say I am pleased to see you since you tend to bring me headaches every time you visit me." Levi's face was flat as he greeted them without bothering to play nice. "Long time no see, Logan, Robert," Silas extended his hand to offer a handshake with them. "P
The Taste of Heaven 29. Without Power
"Hello there." Zach emerged from Sara's back, waved his hand to her, and blinked playfully. "Why is he here?" Nevea pointed at Zach with her index finger. The scowl on her face was barely hidden as her gaze bore into his. From the way he stood calmly behind Sara, Nevea knew that Zach came here to play, not only with her but with the higher-ups as well. "I don't think it's wise for him to be here. Who knows, he might kill someone out of boredom.""Ouch," Zach said. He hoisted his hand and placed it on his chest, pretending like he had been hit by something. "Your accusation wounded my heart, Nevea." Nevea rolled her eyes in boredom. This man and his consistent line. He must be one without creativity. "I'm serious. He is dangerous." "Don't worry about him. We have Logan, Robert, and Brett here to protect us." Sara grabbed Nevea's hand and led her to the empty and dim cell. The cell was just like how Nevea remembered. The walls had turned dirtier over the course of years, but what di
The Taste of Heaven 30. Mission To Stormsire
After Zach left Vlassta, Nevea was permitted to go as well. However, she would be locked again in her room. And this time, no one would be able to visit her except the higher-ups. “What do you think about them?” Logan asked Robert. They had been watching from the start and couldn’t pinpoint the loophole in Zach’s statement. Not only that, but they also received all the documents from Silas to support Zach’s claim. “It’s either he is honest, or he has planned everything, so he knows what to do,” Robert answered as his gaze deepened. “What do you think about his relationship with Nevea? I think his fascination toward her is true.” Robert could see how Zach’s eyes gleamed when he looked at Nevea. Something like that couldn’t be faked. “I think so. He seemed to take joy from her anger.” Logan added, “We can’t blame him for anything for now, but if he somehow makes a mess, do you think it’s wise to use Nevea to eliminate him?”“But we can’t trust Nevea either.” Robert retorted. “Right.”
The Taste of Heaven 31. The Bloody Movement
The following day, Nevea drove to Stormsire alone. The journey from the Grouver took a bit longer than usual since the traffic was terrible. During her journey, Nevea could not stop thinking about the mess she was in. Somehow, whenever she thought about a solution, it always led to death. As if it was her fate. She sighed heavily and hit the steering wheel aggressively.Deciding to empty her mind, she focused on driving safely. Around thirty minutes later, her car came to a complete halt as the numerous iron gate with a tag covered with lots of spider webs entered her field of vision. WELCOME TO STORMSIRE. Nevea read it loudly, then continued her journey to the most dangerous city in Rimore. As she drove past several buildings, she noticed numerous people gazing at her car with sinister glints. Nevea assumed they might know she was not a vampire. They'd either wanted to suck her dry, rob her, or maybe both. She paid no attention to those small flies. She was here on a mission to sav
The Taste of Heaven 32. Old Acquittance
In the end, Zach got what he wanted. He stayed in room 312, precisely beside Nevea's room. He could listen to everything Nevea did in her room, from the sound she made when she cursed to the water that dropped onto her body until the slightest move she made on her bed. Zach was like a creep. No, he was a creep. If he were normal or had a little decency in him, he would not do that. He would turn off his hearing ability and sleep like a log. "Too bad for her. I am not normal, nor am I a gentleman," Zach grumbled while focusing on the sound Nevea made. Nevea was completely clueless about Zach's stalking behavior as she was too focused on researching tomorrow's auction. Each year the auction would be held forth times. During that time, many rare items were sold at unimaginable amounts, especially items equal to secret information. Money was never a problem because Vlassta gave her enough to spend. The clock kept ticking as she engaged in her work until she totally lost track of time.

The Taste of Heaven 73. Tragedy
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
The Taste of Heaven 72. Lover
"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
The Taste of Heaven 67. Wings
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
