"You’re not helping, Jacob!" Zara said angrily.Jacob's attack on the soul sucker Hades, another of the Ampulex brothers, was a complete mistake. The Ampulex brothers rushed to the Dark mansion at the same time but ended up killing each other in an abandoned building far from most people. He didn't know where Zachery and Jayden were but he had a feeling that they would show up at any moment.The Ampulex who reported them to the soul police are accusing them of being treated by people like them. He can't be blamed if the enemies think that way. Claire is being protected by the soul reaper and it will be even more difficult for Jayden to get Claire. Apart from that, Jayden's movements have been monitored and he has also been careful when approaching Claire.Jacob felt divided there. He was glad that Claire was protected from the soul suckers. But he was annoyed because soul suckers attacked them almost every night. It wasn't that they couldn't match with them. They can decapitate the we
What the heck?!"Before you touch that one, Hades, let me give him a good show," Jayden said looking around.Everyone was busy fighting and didn't lose focus even when Jayden arrived carrying Claire. Jacob felt that Hades let go of him but his attention was not there. Everyone was focused on Jayden's female captive. If earlier there was no fear and his chest would not tighten even though he knew he had nothing to lose from what Hades would do, now that he has released him, he feels even more nervous and afraid. His chest felt like he was going to collapse from the tension. He didn't even know Jayden's plan. It intended to suck Claire's soul right in front of him.No! He can't agree!He went through the weak soul suckers but there were more holding him back now."Hold that," Hades ordered his disciples. "Put it in a better view where he can see Jayden's show."His disciples followed. But while they were pulling him, he kept going.Jacob’s teeth nearly broke in anticipation when he saw
Claire woke up to the blaring alarm of the phone on the side table. She is feeling very well. It was not like the last time she opened her eyes and felt the weakness of her body.She was stunned for a moment. Her eyes widened as she turned around as her phone continued to ring. She is in the condo. How did she get home if the last thing she remembers is that she was in the middle of a chaos of creatures she didn't know what? She tried to recall the last memory. That man. That was the last thing she saw and...Clare gasped as she remembered what madness the man was talking about. Why he said those things, she didn't know. Maybe because of her state at that moment. There is the feeling that if the troubling feelings brought by the man are not told, she will never have another chance. It's like a storm that comes and goes suddenly.If the man drove her, how did she know where she was staying? Is he a stalker?Claire shook her head and her phone alarm went off. She reached for it and turn
Claire seems to be in a whirlwind. Everything is very fast. It's dizzying. The man inside her unit was none other than the man who took her to the rooftop, the man whose body was glowing and floating when she was in the parking area of the condo-building. The man she last saw when her eyes closed before passing out. This is the man who often fills her mind and wants to see. But now that they met again, she didn't know what else to feel first.She was confused yet she wanted to feel how it was to be kissed by those beautiful red lips. So, she let him kiss her. How would it feel being hugged by those long, big arms? How would it feel if her body was naked and was pressed against him?She felt his hand on the back of her head. He gently pulled her hair down. When he ended the kiss, she looked up and stared into those blue eyes."You're asking for this, Claire," the man snorted angrily. But despite the anger, she could see yearning in his eyes. The wild passion and need. And maybe, if she
A light seemed to shine on the man's face as his eyes flashed. He landed on top of her and gave her a searing kiss."Let's do it again," he said without giving her a chance to refuse. His hands were all over her body once again and her naked desire just swallowed her whole."Can I ask a question?" Claire leaned towards the man. After she could barely count the moment, their bodies became one, they were enveloped in silence. She could feel his eyes on her, as his arms wrapped around her waist. He became gentle and his anger loosened up."What is it?" despite the deep breaths it asked. Not even taking his eyes off her. She even thinks that men hardly even blink. That if he blinks, he was afraid that she might suddenly disappear from his sight."I still don't know your name."The man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed. He raised his eyebrows. “What's funny?” "I'm sorry. I thought you remember me. To think that you've given your body to me. Giving yourself to someone you don
The worried face of Jacob appeared to Claire when she opened her eyes again. She looked around. She was there in her unit."Hey... are you okay?" There is still a trace in Jacob’s voice that he wants to panic.When she nodded, he let out a loud and deep breath. That seems like a long time to stopped himself from breathing."Damn!" he said. "Do you know what you're doing to me?"Claire just looking to him. Concern and relief are obvious in his perfect face."You're going to kill me worrying about you, Claire! You've been unconscious for a few minutes. I don't know where to take you. I can't get you to the doctor and I know..." He let out a deep sigh again.Claire got up. She wants to smile. Why is it so good to hear that Jacob is just so worried about her?"What?" Jacob snorted in annoyance, still frowning."Huh?""Why are you smiling like that? What's so funny? Do you think this is funny? That you faint in front of me?" Jacob stood up. Angry already. He went back and forth several tim
Claire just couldn't hold it anymore. She could feel her mouth opening slowly. She also felt as if her soul was being pulled out of her earthly body. What more could she do now? Her body has no strength. Without any ability to protect herself. She doesn't even have a memory. She didn't even know how to survive the impending danger. "Get off her!"Jayden stopped sipping and let go of her. Claire seemed to be filled with hope when she heard the familiar voice of a woman. She was like a piece of paper falling on a cold concrete floor. From where she was, she could watch a woman wrestle with the soul sucker. Her figure is familiar. She recognized the woman by the occasional glimpse of her face during the fight. This is the astral body that was with Jacob in the parking area. This is the woman who tried to ask Jacob to leave while Jayden was attacking her.What and why is she helping her now? Even though Claire didn't understand, she was grateful. At least she still has a chance to stay in
Jacob frowned. Why all of a sudden, he could hear Claire's thoughts? Whereas when she was just a human, no matter how hard he tried to listen to the girl's thoughts, he couldn't. Just when he didn't care anymore why his mortal ability to her wasn't working, then it peeked out again.Just like last twenty years. When he was weak, he heard Claire's grievances, her regret for what she had done and her complete absorption and self-confession of how much sin she had committed against him even though she was far away.Jacob was struck with extreme fear and trepidation, Is it possible that he was only hearing Claire's thoughts when he was about to lose her?Jacob shook his head and gently looked at the girl leaning on him. He reached her body and pressed her tightly to his body, then kissed the top of her head. He was in that position for a long time. He could not explain the intense fear and nervousness. Claire could not be lost to him. He will not agree. Never. He will do everything to sto
"Where's Kaitlin?"Milla don't want to ask that but it's necessary. She hadn't seen the woman since her family arrived there. She wants to know everything about the house they will live in temporarily."She's in her room. She's not feeling well," Renz answered."Is she sick?""No, she just feels bad."Milla immediately suspected something bad happened. If the woman isn't sick, if she wasn't wounded in a fight or bitten by a wolf and didn't come down to meet them, there must be something wrong."Doesn't she want us here?" Milla asked."Oh, no. She doesn't care about that. We are just having a few personal problems. You don't have to worry about her."Milla did not comment further. She no longer cares if their problems are personal. She continued to walk. Renz followed her. She waits for what he has to say as if it won't come and she drowns in the tension between them."Shall we talk about the plan?" Milla reminded."Oh, that. Yes, of course. I just suddenly remembered when I left you o
The helicopter still in the air, Milla already knew something bad had happened. A distant view of the smoke coming from the location of the estate. The underground town is under the mansion and the entire subdivision where it resides."Renz, w-what do you think is going on?" Milla asked.He didn't say a word and maneuvered the helicopter down. He immediately slung the bag containing the weapons over his shoulder and ran through the estate. Surrounding the subdivision, are the members of the Armată. Renz immediately asked one of them. They find out that Rollin blew up Rasulo three hours ago. Many were killed, the estate and the houses in the subdivision collapsed. For now, the situation is under control although the lives lost cannot be brought back.Milla's steps are fast to find her daughter. She immediately saw her, along with her grandmother. The girl was holding the Barbie doll and the music box that Renz had given her before."Are you all right, sweetie?"Ryana nodded."When we h
"You didn't have to come here, Renz!"Milla was irritated again when she saw Renz at the door. She was ready for a bloody fight when she felt the presence of their kind outside the cabin. Laura would never linger outside the house so she thought it was an enemy. Renz was the only one there."You might be late.""You've been walking around outside for a while.""I was checking security."Milla can't accept that Renz will join her on a mission but she can't do anything. She also couldn't give up her job. She will not be content in a quiet place if she knows that she is not doing anything to end the ongoing war. Maybe one day, she will wake up without her daughter. She can't forgive herself when it happens.When the bedroom door opened, she immediately turned to her daughter. She just held the walking doll while staring at Renz. "Go back to your room, Ryana."A few moments passed before she obeyed. She carried her bag. There were her weapons."You gave her such a masculine name. Why coul
‘My life was quiet, you came again and all my strategies were ruined again. I really hate you, Renz!’ Milla was restless. Renz is determined to tell the Consilium about her. She just agreed because she was given no other choice. Apart from that, she is also struggling to find out where she lives, if she is safe there because Rollin's men are said to be scattered all over Romania. Rollin wanted his homeland to be the center of his power. Rather than Renz finding out about their son, she preferred to agree with him, comforting him for the time being by agreeing to appear before the Consilium. But she will not allow him to come to her house.As soon as they entered Rasulo, nostalgia filled Milla's heart. It had been a long time since she last went there but it was still as beautiful as before."Do you remember our many dates here?" Ren asked her."Shut up!" she returned irritated."What's wrong with you?""I'm not happy when married men want to reminisce with me," she blurted out.Renz i
"Renz, this is a very important mission."Renz immediately nodded at what Sorin said. The mission was not sanctioned by the entire Council. Only the two Supremes Sorin and Stevan know."You are going there alone and once and for all, will find out if there is indeed a mercenary."Renz nodded again. Even if the two didn't say it, he knew they doubted Laura. Laura always carries information that is said to be from one of her trusted personnel. No one knows who that person of Laura is or if there is such a thing. Although all the information from that "mercenary" helped a lot, they didn't know if it was true. What if Laura herself, is just making up all those stories and her loyalty has also changed? Information can be helpful, but it might just be a pitfall in a larger plan.It seemed impossible but at this time they could not trust anyone. Their allies are turning their backs, loyal allies are doubting their ability. Rollin's time had come.What Renz witnessed that Rollin did in some o
"Are you all right?"Milla couldn't answer Ryan's question. They were already on the plane and she hadn't slept much. Her eyes were puffy and she was sweating coldly while suppressing body tremors. She knew that her bad feelings weren't just because she was angry. Something inside of her was crippling her. She would have thought that she also had typhoid fever from there but she was not in the last mission where they went to drink water from there."What are you feeling?"That's when Milla's stomach felt a terrible pain. Almost all the passengers looked at her, maybe because of the loudness of her shouting. They were immediately attended to by flight attendants.Milla screamed several times inside the plane. Unfortunately, they were going to Singapore and the trip was short.When the plane landed, an ambulance was waiting and she was taken to the nearest hospital. They tested her. She was hooked on dextrose. The pain does not go away and she is crying because of that."You're pregnant
It's like Milla is back to being a teenager. She didn't know what to wear. She even bought a new dress at a mall for that day. She and Renz will talk in depth later because they haven't been able to talk clearly in the past because of Kaitlin's appearance.That time, She would make sure everything was clear between them. She hopes that the result of their heart-to-heart talk will be good. She saw no other reason for Renz's words than that they shared the same feelings. It was obvious. Renz himself said that if his feelings for her were simply love for a friend, he wouldn't have done all that. Maybe Renz is only now realizing his feelings. Maybe like all men in the world, he had to experience what the world can offer before understanding that there is only one woman who is different from everyone else and the one, he loves and wants.“That's me!" Milla laughed and spoke. She was so happy that she couldn't hold a single thought in her head.It was only three in the afternoon, when Renz
"You're awfully quiet."Mill turned to Ryan. They are in a lodge and tomorrow they will drive to another province. Their mission in the Province is over. She just couldn't help but regret because she didn't see Renz. He didn't know when she got here that she was in the province. She is not sure if his cousin said that.According to Renz’s cousin, Renz also at that place but the man chose not to show himself. What exactly is new there? Why is she still sad? Didn't she decide that that phase of her life with him was over?"I'm just missing my family," she just said to Ryan."Are you going to be, okay?"Milla answered with a nod and a smile. She went to her room. She sighed steadily while peering out the window. Renz’s cousin said, he will just watch until they leave. He did not appear to his companions but before they returned to the plains, he appeared to her. He was a kind guy, indeed, and funny, too.‘Renz, you jerk. Why am I missing you so much?’ Milla decided to lie down. They stil
"She's looking at you. Damn."Renz secretly winced at what his cousin said. They were in a pub and there is a nice woman looking at Renz. It wasn't the first time something like that had happened. "Sorry, cousin.""Hey, don't tell me you're sorry, man. You're adding insult to injury."Renz laughed. He glanced at his cousin female target. She was so beautiful, all right. He likes Latina. She is... What exactly does he want in a woman? But he no longer knows now. He had tried them all. And he vowed to keep on trying. When he promised Ronnie's grandmother he would not take her away, a part of his life stopped and a new and different life began.He made it begin, forced himself for it to begin. He taught himself to play and join the dance that he should have been joining. Why couldn't he be like his cousin who would screw any pretty lady who was interested in him? He planted in his mind what his mother had said."You're at the prime of your life-live well or regret not having lived. Go ou
