The Taste of Heaven 57. Not Home
Nevea watched as Zach broke down in front of her. The tears and his pained face made her breath stuck in her throat. She didn't know what had happened. One moment Zach was observing her. The next moment, he dashed in her direction in desperation. "Zach, hey, you okay?" Instead of answering her, Zach kept on sobbing. His body trembled tremendously while he continued to beg her to wake up. After overcoming her shock, Nevea finally could guess what had happened to him. A vision. And it wasn't a pretty one. Nevea then squatted down, taking his hands on hers, then stroking them gently. Hoping that it might help him to realize that what he saw wasn't happening at the current time. "I am here. Wake up." She saidZach lifted his head. His teary eyes looked straight at Nevea. There was a hint of recognition in his orbs. However, it disappeared again; then, another tear escaped his eyes. The scene of his miserable state was like a knife that plunged deep into Nevea's heart. His expressio
The Taste of Heaven 58. The Flame Must Be Beautiful
Two days later, there was still no sign of Zach. Nevea had given up waiting. If he wanted to be alone, so be it. “Fuck him,” Nevea grumbled as she scooped the food into her mouth. The dining area was so quiet, and she was the only one sitting at the table, like some rich woman who lives alone. “Can I visit Kiara today?” She asked Silas, who stood rigidly at the corner of the room. “I am afraid you should wait for Mr. Dacre, Ms. Nevea.” Came Silas’ replied. It was still the same as yesterday. “If you are bored, I can accompany you to walk around the house.”Nevea waved her hand in the air. She remembered every corner of the house and didn’t want to waste more time strolling again. “What about Lola? How is she?”“Still screaming nonstop and cursing you, of course.” “Right,” Nevea replied weakly. If only Zach didn’t escape, she would have asked him to compel Lola already. But that man went hiding, so all the plans went down the drain. Now, she couldn’t meet Kiara and also Lola. Th
The Taste of Heaven 59. My Heaven, My Little Fairy
Zach only gave her a chaste kiss. Then he pushed her against the door. "You shouldn't say something like that. Vlassta members should care about the well-being of others."Nevea rolled her eyes. "I am not with Vlassta anymore."When those words left Nevea's mouth, Zach knew he had to have her. Thus, he gave her another kiss. Putting all that he had been feeling for the past two days—anger, pain, and frustration—into the kiss.Acted on instinct, Nevea put her arms around Zach's neck, and he lifted her body, which instantly made her legs wrap around his waist. The chaste kiss was no more. Now, they were ravenous for each other's mouths, hungrily consuming with an insatiable hunger. Their tongues twirled and wrangled with savage intensity, lapping and sucking each other with an unrestrained passion. Every movement brought them closer, intensifying the rapture of their kiss. The kiss wasn't enough to satiate the intense burn they felt. They needed to be skin to skin, to touch each othe
The Taste of Heaven 60. Fusing
Standing not too far from each other, Nevea kept her gaze on Zach's golden orbs. It gleamed beautifully while staring at her. Not only that, but his eyes also softened a lot. Although Nevea couldn't feel any dangerous aura from Zach, she couldn't be sure. "Zach?""Why are you keep calling me like that?" He took two steps, which made Nevea back away. "Am I scaring you?" Nevea shook her head, and he added. "Did I do something wrong? Tell me." Placing her hand on top of her chest, she answered. "I am just confused. You look different.""How?" He took a step forward again. And this time, Nevea didn't move even an inch. "What are you?" She probed another question instead of giving him the answer. Zach suddenly appears right before Nevea's eyes. He cupped her face in between his palm. "You are scared." He said with a soft tone. "Don't be scared of me. I am the last person you should be scared of." His fingers caressed at her skin. Damn, his softness and gentleness made her head clouded
The Taste of Heaven 61. A Talk With Kiara
From outside the cell, Zach observed how calm Kiara looked despite the heavy chains restraining her movement. According to Silas’ report, Kiara only resisted when he kidnapped her here, but she behaved perfectly well afterward. It was almost like being in Zach’s dungeon was her goal. Pushing the cell, he went inside and took a seat right in front of her. Perhaps she sensed his presence because Kiara dragged her feet towards him the next moment. His body bent slightly, waiting for Kiara to reach him. “You,” Kiara said as she finally got a good view to look at the man before her. “It’s really you.” She sneered. “It seems you know Nevea and me so well. Care to tell me, what’s our relationship with each other?” Zach crossed his legs and leaned on the chair calmly. “Relationship?” Kiara laughed. “I am not insane enough to sell my soul to a demon. Although I can’t say the same about Nevea.”Zach’s brows furrowed. “Being in love with a demon equals selling a soul. That’s quite new.”“Yo
The Taste of Heaven 62. Message
Nevea entered the cell to meet Kiara two hours after Zach ended his session. She remembered how pale Zach’s face was and how much his body shook after seeing her. That alone could tell her that Kiara had described or shown him something horrible. At least, this time, he didn’t run away from her. Instead, he seeks comfort from her. Taking a few deep breaths, Nevea finally walked closer to Kiara. She actually didn’t know what to expect from this conversation with Kiara. At first, Kiara seemed to be her ally, but now it didn’t feel like that anymore. Kiara knew too many things; even her motive was still grey. “You look great.” Kiara began. “And the mark looks disgustingly beautiful.” Nevea instantly touched the mark on her neck. “You don’t like it? It’s pretty, though.”Kiara clicked her tongue. “I’ve seen that mark before, Nevea. You have given yourself to him again. What a surprise.” Kiara said with a flat tone. “I don’t. Not everything.”“That mark won’t appear if you didn’t sur
The Taste of Heaven 63. Wife
Zach, Nevea, and Silas stood silently while looking at the words on the wall. After Nevea informed them about Kiara’s disappearance, they dispatched all the guards to look for that woman. Still, their efforts were useless since Kiara’s shadow couldn’t be seen anywhere. So, they ended up in the dungeon. “So you are telling me someone is after you?” Zach broke the silence.“Hmm.” Nevea hummed. “Let’s hunt her down.” Zach spun around and walked to leave the cell.“Wait,” Nevea said, grabbing his hand. “We should deal with Vlassta first.” “Okay.” Zach agreed. He took Nevea’s hand so they could walk hand in hand to exit the dungeon while Silas followed behind them. Suddenly Zach looked over his shoulder to meet Silas’ eyes, then instructed. “Gather all the people who have worked for me before you in the hall. I want to meet them in ten minutes.”“What do you need them to do, Mr. Dacre? Perhaps I can do it myself.” Silas offered, to which Zach replied with a glare. His confidence slu
The Taste of Heaven 64. Comfort
In the meeting room, Nevea sat across Logan and Raven. After the incident last night, Nevea and Zach didn't talk much since both of them were having difficulties believing the servant's claim. They basically avoided talking about it. Instead, they began discussing Vlassta. Yesterday, Nevea asked Zach to compel Lola and told him to tell Logan she was ready to talk with them. "Where is Lola? Is she okay?" Logan started. "She is fine. Don't worry; Silas is picking her up." Nevea took a cup of tea on the table, brought it to her mouth, and sipped it while keeping her eyes fixed on both of them. "How have you been?" It was Raven. "Are you hurt?"Nevea placed the cup back and lifted her gaze to meet Raven. She felt awful for picking Zach's side without telling Raven anything about her problem. Raven used to be the person she sought when there were too many things going on, but this time, Raven didn't have a place in her issues. Just like Lola, Raven wouldn't understand. For Nevea, it

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
