Love that Kills Date
Ash booked a restaurant—the whole restaurant—for our date. He said he wanted to make me feel safe and comfortable. Some might say that he was showing off his authority and wealth, but I couldn't help but be touched by his thoughtfulness. He made me feel cherished. He made me feel as if I mattered. That feeling was so unfamiliar, I needed to pinch myself several times to make sure I wasn't dreaming.The restaurant was on the thirtieth floor of the soaring skyscraper. The place resembled those luxurious, high-end spots in the Mortal Realm that had always been beyond my reach. Now, I was walking into an elegant, and most likely extremely expensive restaurant, knowing that Ash and I were going to be the only guests. It felt surreal.The waiter led us to the upper level, to the table in the alcove surrounded by windows. "You can see the entire center of Caligo City from this place," Ash said, pointing at the kaleidoscope of street lights and architectural wonders that form an amazingly rom
Love that Kills Like a dream
I froze. My mouth opened, but I wasn't even sure how I was supposed to explain this situation. I stood before Ash, barefoot and wearing nothing but a silk nightgown. Not to mention that staring at Ash's freshly showered, ideally chiseled body was ferociously distracting. "I found the passage," I started mumbling. "I can see that." He stepped closer, locking her eyes on me. I swallowed. "I didn't know that it leads to your room…" Well, truthfully, I kind of hoped that it led to Ash's room, but I would never admit it. His jaw tensed. "Would you rather someone else was here? Hunter perhaps?" "What?! No!" I exclaimed. "I just…" Within a heartbeat, he closed the passage behind me and pushed me against the door. His hands landed flat on the sides of my head, caging me. "You came to me in the middle of the night with your body covered only in a sheer piece of fabric." He leaned over my ear. "Why don't you tell me what you want, Nala?" "I…" The words didn't seem to form any logical sent
Love that Kills Dreams
"Do you want to tell me about it?" Ash asked, pouring tea into my cup.I spent the whole night in his bed, and most of the night in his arms. I woke up with my cheek splayed flat on his firm chest and my hand touching the hard muscles of his abdomen. Sleeping and waking up like this was new to me. It was crossing a new level of intimacy, and I loved every second of it.Ash's touch erased all the uneasiness my nightmare brought me. I couldn't believe I was able to simply sleep next to him... or use him as a pillow, but that was what happened, and nothing about this new phase of our relationship made me feel ashamed or flustered.When we woke up, Ash gave me one of his shirts to replace the nightgown he had torn the night before. He surprised me when he said that he wanted us to eat breakfast together as if he wanted to keep me in his room a little longer. I didn't protest. And so, here we were, eating breakfast and drinking tea while looking into each other's eyes."Do you have nightma
Love that Kills About Him
Something odd happened to my face. Some of my mimic muscles had been electrified, and now the corners of my lips stilled in a permanent smile. It wasn't uncomfortable to wear, just strange. Furthermore, the smile spread more fiercely across my mouth every time Ash looked at me. I was almost certain that I looked idiotic, but I didn't care. The way he made me feel recompensated for all the awkwardness.We didn't do anything indecent. Ash held my hand or stroked my hair. At least one of his arms was constantly around me as if he needed to be certain that I was close. I submitted gladly, enjoying this unfamiliar state. I think I might be experiencing the closest thing to happiness.Unfortunately, our blissful morning didn't last long. Calvel came to deliver more urgent news to Ash. I didn't ask what it was about, but judging by Ash's severe expression, it couldn't be anything good. After a brief conversation, he returned to sit beside me while Calvel waited by the open door."I need to l
Love that Kills Loved one
I spent most of the day thinking about Ash and everything that had happened to him because of Morfran. My heart ached for Ash. All the more I wanted to know what he was forced to do each time he was summoned in front of the King.I had never met the current Vampire King, but I already hated him with every fiber of my being. I knew that I would do anything to help Ash defeat this sick bastard and his son. If my blood could make him stronger, then I would let him drink from me. I would do anything to save him from suffering. I promised myself that from that moment on, I was going to trust him and help him in any way I could. That also included doing my absolute best at the upcoming Blue Moon party. I was going to start by picking the most stunning dress...I was supposed to spend the afternoon shopping, but as it turned out, the security team decided that this event had to be thoroughly planned... and moved to the next day. Since Hunter was also engaged in planning all the security deta
Love that Kills Shadow of the past
I woke up restless and tensed. The vision I had in my sleep felt like entering someone's memories, as if someone had allowed me to see glimpses of their past. I wondered if it was real. It felt real. It was almost as if I traveled through space and time to witness the moment Estelle met Ash. Although, I couldn't say that I was comfortable watching the two of them... I wondered why I was forced to see it. Was it because I was curious about her before I fell asleep? Well, the problem was, now I had even more questions than I had before. I spent a lot of time in the shower, trying to wash off all the lingering anxieties, but it didn't help. Especially the way Ash looked in that vision at Estelle, which engraved itself in my mind and sent me wave after wave of sourness. Perhaps the reason why I felt this way was that when Ash noticed me, I foolishly assumed that he treated me special, that I was someone unique to him. Now I couldn't shake off the feeling that I could have been yet another
Love that Kills Stressed
Two days later, Ash was still away, handling something Calvel called "important matters." Calvel returned alone and immediately restarted my self-defense training. With him, Nicor, and Amanda in their full teacher modes, my preparations for the upcoming Blue Moon Ball in the King's castle became extremely intense. Nonetheless, whenever I had a moment to think, my mind returned to the matter of Ash and Estelle's relationship.Ash must have loved her. All the more, I wondered what made Estelle kill herself. The woman in my vision seemed strong and confident. I couldn't imagine someone like her breaking down and giving up on her life."Nala, you're not focused!" Calvel growled as I tried to punch the sandbag in front of me."I'm trying!" I swore. "It's just… I don't have the muscles to do that…"Calvel sighed and crossed his arms. "You don't need them. All you need is to know how to throw a punch and then do it using your inner force."I dropped my hands in frustration. "If there's a swi
Love that Kills The Blue Moon Ball
Ash's fiery gaze stayed on me the entire time we were in the car. He held my hand in his, his thumb constantly tracing lines across my palm. My whole body shivered, and I secretly wished we never made it to the castle. I wished that we had lost our way, lost our driver, and found ourselves somewhere alone.I bit my lip as another shudder pierced through me, heating everything within me. I didn't take my hand away. I didn't want him to stop whatever he was doing. God, I wanted him to never stop touching me."You're so beautiful," he whispered, and I all but moaned. I could see his gaze wandering down to my neck and then to my cleavage. I could see the tips of his fangs flashing in the faint moonlight, and I pressed my thighs together. "I will be very indecent when we get to the ball. Bear with me," he warned.I swallowed hard. I must have become the horniest woman on the planet since I thought I wouldn't mind him taking me in public. I craved him, and my desire grew by the second.The
