Chapter 17

Azrael still didn't wake up after an hour. Maybe it was the effect of the poison. I sighed and stood up from the bed. I really need blood right now. My vision is slowly turning red. My bloodthirst is getting worse. It made me feel weak. It's getting harder to control, especially if I am so thirsty for blood.

There's a light knock on the door when I tried to twist the doorknob. I opened the door and Layla's worried face greeted me. I gasped a little when she hugged me. I closed my eyes as I tried to control myself, not to suck on Layla's neck.

"Alex, are you okay?" she asked while frowning. Worry is still clear in her eyes. I nodded.

She frowned while staring behind my back. I followed where she's looking, and she fixed her eyes on Azrael, who was still peacefully sleeping in my bed. Layla gasped.
