The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 74 – The Prey
(Brielle’s POV)I hit the ground gracefully but didn’t have time to admire myself because I had to run. Run? It was more like to escape… but from whom?I narrowed my eyes, listening carefully to the faint swoosh sound behind me. I gasped, wincing at the intense pain of the wound from an arrow, even though it missed my arm. I ran toward the tree and pulled the shaft from the tree’s body.The familiar design of the fletching and the silver bullet point made my heart hammer as I recognized who owned it. It used to be my grandfather’s and was given to Dad. I was twelve when my father gave me this handmade arrow as a gift.“Argh!” I hissed, tilting my head to check the wound. The slight cut caused a tingling pain and was getting worse.The noises from a distance proved to me that I was being chased. My ears twitched, recognizing their voices.“Giles!” I snarled, running again but halting abruptly and blinking when my vision blurred; the woods became foggy and fuzzy.Taking a deep breath, I
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 75 – Not Our Kind
(Brielle’s POV)It was the longest two minutes of my life, Bryce and me in the corner of the room, hiding like terrified ordinary humans from a vampire’s threat. Whenever we tried to advance in Kione’s direction, attempting to snatch Gen, she would scream in a high-pitched sound, gripping her neck harder.“Don’t stop me, Brielle. That’s my sister,” Bryce gritted his teeth, grabbing my arm firmly.Only then I realized I was not hiding but blocking him from attacking Kione. I was using my body, preventing him from hurting Cole’s sister.“What’s happening here?” Xian entered the room.We hardly notice the door opening. When I glanced in her direction, she was standing in the doorway; her arms were crossed over her chest while her eyebrows were raised, watching us curiously as if there was no threat inside the room.Kione hissed angrily, but her sister ignored her. Xian picked up the white warding tray on the floor and hummed happily as she entered the room.“Oh, please, Kione, enough wit
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 76 – Not Gertrude's Idea
(Brielle’s POV)“An experiment.”It was Kione who answered. She murmured her answer and straightened up, lowering her gaze. The look on her face told me she was not proud of it.“What?” Bryce gasped; horror flowed in his eyes.“Newborn vampires will always be hungry for blood and confused for a long time. Sometimes, they forget who they are,” Kione added.Blood escaped Bryce’s face, then a surge of it went to his head, making his skin red in rage. When he understood what Kione meant, he looked at Xian and glowered at her.“You made us your bait?” He growled, gripping the edge of the bar table.If the table wasn’t attached to the wall, he might have thrown it to the person sitting across from him. Kione smiled and continued to eat, ignoring Bryce.I pressed my lips together, glancing at Cole, but like Xian, he was quiet. Aarush walked toward his sister, blocking his body before Bryce could jump and strangle his sister.“Oh, please, Bryce. We were watching you. Just in case, we want you
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 77 – Giving A Chance
(Brielle’s POV)“You’re making that up,” I gasped, stepping back from Bryce.My mother would interfere in my decisions; I knew that, but not as dangerous as this one. She tried to stop me, thinking I was insane for falling in love with Cole, but she would never put her line of work and status in the Order to save me.Bryce shook his head. “She did what she had to do. We knew Gertrude would need help, and she was right. Your grandmother came to me. It’s nuts, Brielle, but I had to agree with your Mom for you and my sister. If Gertrude’s here, she will tell you I’m not lying.”He lifted his hand, reaching for my hand, but he drew it back when I shook my head vehemently.“You’re lying, Bryce,” I scoffed, taking a deep breath as I glanced over my shoulder to see where to run, to hide from him.“Believe what you want to believe, Brielle. We’re both hunters, and you know it’s not easy to walk into that old building just like that.”I sniffled, my heart crying because I knew what he said was
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 78 – Not Marrying Bryce
(Brielle's POV)“Travis,” he answered. “T-R-A -”I raised my hand, stopping him.“I heard you. My hearing’s perfectly okay,” I muttered, widening my eyes, stunned at the line of blood dripping from his nose.He smirked and wagged his eyebrows. “I’m more handsome than Cole, right?”“You’re human?” I said shockingly, raising my hand and pointing my index finger at my nose.“What? What?” He asked in a panic and lifted his hand, gasping at the sight of blood. “Damn!” he muttered, craning his neck and pinching his nose.He turned around and stepped forward, walking away from me.“Wait!” I almost sprinted following him.For a human being, his pace was relatively fast. When he turned left, my forehead creased as Travis disappeared from the long hallway.I sat on the floor and leaned on the wall, not minding the cold and pouting as I pinned my eyes on the engagement ring. As I brushed Travis off my mind, I was filled with what Bryce had said about my mother. I groaned, closing my eyes in defe
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 79 – Unanswered Question
(Brielle's POV)“Pregnant?” Aarush guessed.His guess alarmed and caught everyone off guard, and even I was taken aback. I had not thought of it. Besides, it was still too early to tell. I opened my mouth to deny it, but the thought of Cole hearing everything made me decide to shut it. But then, my silence sent anxiety into the room.“Are you pregnant?” Xian asked, her eyes wide as she looked at me, slowly fixing her gaze on my abdomen as if she had a built-in scanner in her eyes.“Will that solve everything if I am?” I tried hard not to laugh, imagining Cole stopping somewhere and waiting for my answer. There was an eerie silence in the well-lit hallway, and as I waited for Cole to show up, I could feel the weight of Xian’s stare on me. She was obviously shocked. Even Kione, a newborn vampire, was taken aback and looked at me as if unsure what to do with me.“No, you only complicate the situation,” Aarush broke the silence. His forehead creased, and then he shook his head. “I mean”
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 80 – A Threat, Not An Ally
(Brielle’s POV)The sky was illuminated with a soft orange hue when the sleek vessel broke the surface and glided smoothly toward the dock. No one talked as we quickly made our way to the deck except for Travis, who tried to crack a joke, but no one dared to laugh.As Lucilla led us on the creaky deck, the only source of light we had was from the small beams of flashlights, casting eerie shadows across our path. I stopped, wanting to look back to see if Cole had joined us, but Kione hissed when I halted. Sighing, I stepped forward and stopped only when we reached the gravel surface of the road. Travis mentioned earlier that we were alone on the island, but something felt off as we walked into the dense woods. The sound of the insects that had been chirping incessantly faded, causing an eerie silence as if to tell us we weren’t meant to be there. I flickered my eyes on the woods, adjusting my eyes in the dark. I didn’t want to be startled by outcasts pouncing on us.“Don’t worry, Br
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 81 – Suddenly A Pressing Concern
(Brielle’s POV)“How did you know?” My eyes were wide as I asked curiously.Gen pressed her lips tightly and guffawed when she could no longer hold it. “God, I can’t believe I got you,” she said, her face red from laughing. “Brielle, you graduated at the top of your class. You’re the best hunter in your batch, and yet, you’re… you’re -”“Stupid?” I continued for her. Her eyes filled with tears, and she gasped for breath until she was able to calm down. She took a deep breath and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes before turning to me.“Brielle, Levana’s family is like the Kirkwood’s protector,” she said with a look of amusement and disbelief. “Didn’t Travis tell you they’re twins, and their family has been serving the Kirkwood for a very long time? Their dad serves in their council, like your dad to the Order.”I sighed and pursed my lips, not answering her question. I knew the first one, but Travis didn’t need to tell me what they do for the Kirkwood. Levana came to rescu
