The moment he tasted her blood, Zach felt like he was on cloud nine, He remembered tasting her blood when they kissed, but none could compare to biting directly on her neck. Her blood taste devive. It tasted better than the blood he had ever tasted before. His eyes blazed, and, for a second, they bled to golden. He sucked and sucked until the metallic taste of her blood filled his sense. He almost completely lost his mind if Nevea didn't touch his shoulder to wake him from the trance. Zach stopped sucking and then licked the wound on her neck. Resting his temple on her shoulder, Zach tried to calm his heart. His urge to suck her dry was still so potent in his system. "Zach…." She called him. She was so close to moaning his name. "Yes?" He looked at her flushed face. Sweat began to drip from her forehead. "I am burning. Is this normal after getting bitten?" Nevea inquired. She felt hot all over, and her skin prickled each time she sensed him caressing her. "I thought I should feel

Nevea woke up past midnight, her body still felt weak, and her head was spinning. She tried to move, but her movement was restrained because she was tightly embraced. Finally, she looked up, founding Zach sleeping soundly.She tapped Zach's body, wanting it to hurt him, but with no power left, it only ended up like a feather touch. "Zach, I can't breathe."He then loosened his hold and lowered his head. His sleepy eyes stared straight at her. "Sleep, Nevea. You need a lot of energy for tomorrow." He stated and patted her head lightly. "What for? I will rest for the entire day." Zach didn't bother to tell her about the meeting with Vlassta or that her friend was staying with them. Zach believed she would jump to protective mode and dash straight to Lola's room if she knew."I doubt you'd say the same words tomorrow.""Why? What are you hiding?"Zach utterly ignored her question. He snuggled on her neck, inhaling her calming scent until he felt drunk. Their position changed, and now

The way Nevea’s black eyes looked at her made Lola shiver in fear. What she felt right now was pure fear, one that she always felt when she fought with a strong rogue. “Nevea?” Lola tried to call again as she stepped backward carefully. Her heart had started drumming the instant her eyes locked with Nevea’s.“You look scared,” Nevea said. Her tone was laced with coldness. Lola stared at Nevea as if she was another person. Lola had never seen Nevea’s eyes turn black or heard Nevea’s icy tone. It only made her fear grow even bigger to Nevea. “Don’t blame the little innocent Nevea for all the killing. It’s me who did that, not her.” Nevea prowled toward Lola in slow motion. “Although I only did that to follow her heart, hahaha.” She laughed, then suddenly added. “Oh, I slipped. Forget about my previous words. It’s nothing.”Lola gulped and reached for the doorknob. “Don’t be scared. Nevea will be sad if she knows you are scared of her.”“Why are you talking as if you are not Nevea?” L

"He wanted me to suffer, but under his hands. What a crazy vampire." Nevea murmured as she walked to Lola's room. Yesterday's event was still blurry in her mind, and Zach's words before she pushed him out of the room left her completely and utterly unsettled. Why? Because her heart was drumming insanely fast for absolutely no good reason. She didn't want to have a feeling. Not for him. First, there was a possibility that she had to kill him to stay alive. Two, because it seemed like their path wasn't easy, it would be full of suffering. And she, of course, didn't want to suffer. The way Zach behaved before and after she escaped somehow also turned out for the better. He still irritates her, though. But he wasn't trying to hurt her anymore, like putting her in a room full of rogues. Something shifted in him, but she still didn't know why it happened. Someone like him wouldn't change so quickly. "Get me out here!" The sound of Lola's scream made Nevea halt a few steps away from th

Two days later, there was still no sign of Zach. Nevea had given up waiting. If he wanted to be alone, so be it. “Fuck him,” Nevea grumbled as she scooped the food into her mouth. The dining area was so quiet, and she was the only one sitting at the table, like some rich woman who lives alone. “Can I visit Kiara today?” She asked Silas, who stood rigidly at the corner of the room. “I am afraid you should wait for Mr. Dacre, Ms. Nevea.” Came Silas’ replied. It was still the same as yesterday. “If you are bored, I can accompany you to walk around the house.”Nevea waved her hand in the air. She remembered every corner of the house and didn’t want to waste more time strolling again. “What about Lola? How is she?”“Still screaming nonstop and cursing you, of course.” “Right,” Nevea replied weakly. If only Zach didn’t escape, she would have asked him to compel Lola already. But that man went hiding, so all the plans went down the drain. Now, she couldn’t meet Kiara and also Lola. Th
