The Wicked Ones: Destiny of a Vampire

The Creator

Keira clutched her head, pressing her fingers against her temples as she squeezed her eyes shut. She tried to remember anything from last night, but it seemed like her mind went blank after she had some shots with Sara.

Panic surged through her as dreadful possibilities swirled in her mind. Waking up in the same room as Zaidh filled her with uncertainty-what had happened between them?

She felt a rush of relief when she noticed that all of her clothes were still on, and the panic of having sex with Arius's brother slowly faded.

She still needed to be sure.

"Did we...?" The words died on her lips, and she felt too horrified to finish the question.

"Keira, come on. I might be awful, but I do respect you."

Zaidh leaned back when a wicked grin spread across his face as he stretched out his arms.

"Last night was probably one of the best nights of your life."

She wasn't sure if she could trust anything that leaves Zaidh's mouth, but she decided to believe his words this time.

"You better be right." She said narrowing her eyes. "If you laid a hand on me. Be sure I'm going to remember it eventually."

"I laid a hand on you?." Zaidh burst into laughter, shaking his head with a sigh. "You were the one who couldn't keep your hands in place."

"Shut up!" Keira shouted, burying her face in her palms. "Just forget it."

Drunk Keira was a wild person, and she'd known that since her teenage years. Waking up with a blank memory after a wild night could only mean one thing: a lot of shame and a trail of bad decisions.

Keira let out a long breath and pushed herself to her feet. She needed to clean up her clothes were stained with blood, and she looked like a mess.

"Elias's sister left you some new clothes in the bathroom," Zaidh said with a wink. "Freshen up. We've got a lot of work ahead of us."

"What?" Keira narrowed her eyes, her voice laced with confusion and suspicion.

Zaidh stood up, closing the distance between them. His hands rested on her shoulders. His being so close to her made Keira feel awkward in a way she didn't want to feel.

"Last night, you made a deal with Elias and others to turn them into hybrids," Zaidh said when a sarcastic smirk curled on his lips. "I hope you haven't changed your mind?"

"Yeah," Keira muttered, more to herself than to him. "Of course."

She got up and stretched, noticing that the sky outside was growing dark.

"How long did I sleep?" she asked, gazing through the window.

"Twenty-four hours. Or more. I'm not even sure," Zaidh replied, stretching his arms.

Keira's eyebrows shot up in surprise after hearing that she slept so long.

She suddenly remembered that they had left without saying a word to anyone, and by now, Arius had surely noticed her absence from the hotel along with Zaidh. Keira grabbed her phone and gave it a glance as she headed to the bathroom.

There were countless missed calls and messages from Arius, demanding to know where the hell she had gone and whether she was with Zaidh.

A devilish smile played on Keira's lips as she looked at her phone before switching it off and sliding it into her pocket.

This was exactly the revenge she was looking for.

She took a quick shower and wrapped herself in a towel, pleasantly surprised to find that the clothes left for her were both her size and style. Zaidh was already dressed and waiting for her when she stepped out of the bathroom.
