Chapter 10 I COULDN'T help it. I just wanted to greet the morning sun when I went to the porch but after seeing Roam effortlessly cut the giant trunks of woods with his axe like he was Thor, I found myself  staring at his sexy back like it was a once in a lifetime phenomena to have a sight of his majestic bod. His back muscles would flex with his every movement, yet with all the force I assumed was needed to cut such large pieces of woods, I wondered why he was not sweating as much as I was expecting?Not that I found it sexy when a man was doing manly stuff and their skin were sparkling because of their sweat. I was just... oh, right. I figured it out. Was it because he wasn't normal?"You nasty, nasty mind. Since when did you built allegiance with my stupid heart, hmm? He ain't someone to fangirl over," I murmured to myself. Great. Now I was sure I was losing my mind.I sighed and looked at Roam again but what he did next

Chapter 12 IT ALL HAPPENED TOO FAST. The magic his touch was sending all throughout my body burned me instantly as we stared at each other with nothing but familiarity in the strands of our pools. It was as if our souls had waited forever just to be reunited, and even though I barely understood where this recognition was coming from, I gave in to something I knew I'd regret."Jemimah..." he called me hoarsely, struggling to get a hold of himself. He was looking more dangerous when he's like this, but it was the kind of danger I didn't think I should be fearing about.I knew I should never play with fire I could never kill, but the moment Roam stroke my jaw with his rough finger, my eyes glistened with the same raw desire I was seeing in his eyes. "You just saved me, Ahuvi... You saved me again..."Warmth clawed my heart as I gave him a small, genuine smile. "You scared me, but I'm happy you're okay now."His eyes sparkled with sheer h

Chapter 14 I COULDN'T take my eyes off Roam's chest. We were back in the house and we're at the living room to take care of his wounds. He had lots of cuts and scratches but what bothered me a lot was the ripped part of his chest. He insisted I to keep me close even when I was terrified. I did not understand what was going on, and when Roam looked into my worried pools, he let out a sigh and laid his back comfortably on the backrest of the couch. Well, he wasn't entirely comfortable. His forehead was creased and pain was visible in his eyes."Shouldn't you remove your necklace so we can take care of your wounds better--""No." His jaw locked and I saw his eyes darkened, telling me he didn't like my suggestion at all. My forehead creased even more. "Oh--kay? Fine. Don't remove it. No big deal. You don't have to be grumpy." I shook my head when I remembered how he behaved when we first met and during the time I first woke up

Chapter 16 MY HEART banged hardly inside my chest as horror sketch on my face. Vampires, but unlike Yzmael, they looked--lifeless, and undeniably terrifying. Their complexion were too pale and bluish veins appear underneath their skin. Darkness was already conquering the bleeding sky, and as I looked into their scarlet eyes, I saw nothing but their hunger for something.My eyes widened when I realized what they were craving for. My blood. They were hungry for my blood...The painful truth about the real world suck into my mind. I was a mere human. One of the creatures who would always belong at the bottom of the food chain while people like them exist, hiding in plain sight, blending with their preys and ready to attack once the perfect moment would come.One of them held me by my hair and pulled me up. I groaned in pain, unable to get off the blonde's grip. It felt like my scalp was getting stripped off my skull but they didn't seem to care

Chapter 17YZMAEL had to take his steps slowly so I wouldn't get left behind. Rain was heavily pouring already as we made it to the house. He stopped by the door, but when he realized he wouldn't be able to get in without Roam inviting him, he sighed and looked at the porch."We're gonna have to get him inside through the bedroom's porch. I can climb up but you're gonna need to drag him in. Do you think you can do that?" he asked, worried about my ankle even when he, too looked ragged. I bit my lower lip and looked at Roam with a heavy heart. My tears wouldn't stop falling as I blamed myself for what happened. It was my fault why he was like this now. Dragging him in with my ankle swelling was the least I could do.I looked at Yzmael again. Wiping my cheeks with the back of my hand, I took in some air before I nodded. "I'll open the porch's door and prepare the blanket. I won't be able to carry him to the bed so might as well make the floor comforta
