Chapter 12 - Event One Year Ago

Selena walked the 3km of the roadside at a slow pace that was getting slower with exhaustion until she was sweating from the hot sun.

Selena waved after seeing a passing car. Selena frowned after feeling familiar with the car. Selena looks shocked after realizing that the car is Ken's. Selena ran back into the forest for cover. However, his eyes widened at the sight of a wolf standing about 10 meters away from him.

The wolf made a terrible sound in Selena's ear. Selena covered her ears with memories brought back to her childhood when a wolf once pounced on her while playing in the forest. Selena squatted down while closing her eyes and covering her ears.

The wolf jumped to pounce on Selena, but it came and kicked the wolf until it flew away. Ken carried Selena's body and ran fast as one of his superior abilities. Whitin seconds Ken had managed to get Selena back in the car.

"Escape from a Ken won't work. Do you think I'm an idiot? Tch!"

Ken crossed his arms with hissing lips feeling fooled by Selena.

"Young lady. No matter how you run away from us, it will never work," recalled Suzze while driving the car.

"What exactly do you want from me? I'm just an ordinary woman and have nothing special. Mr. Ken, you can get a better woman than me. For that, let me go," Selena begged by joining her hands.

Selena looked at Ken and Suzze. The two men in the car just kept silent ignoring his words as if no one was talking in the car.

"Fine. I will oblige to your every whim, but give me a reason. Why I have to do this to you."

Ken still didn't turn his head even a bit after Selena spoke. Selena landed a hand on Ken's shoulder. Gene glanced at Selena and stared at the hand that landed on her shoulder.

"Sorry," Selena said as she let go of her hand.

Ken quickly grabbed Selena's wrist. Ken stared into Selena's face with coldness without a hint of a smile.

"I like and am attracted to someone who keeps going against me," Ken replied with a seductive smile.

Selena draws conclusions that make her decide to follow Ken's every word so that the man doesn't like her anymore.

Selena serves a kiss given by Ken. However, the action stopped by him after seeing Suzze glancing in the rear mirror.

Ken realized that Selena was paying attention. Ken pressed a button that created a wall between Suzze and them. Ken made Selena's clothes half open at the top, exposing her cleavage which made Ken swallow hard.

"You don't fight?"

"You said you like someone who fights. I want you to like me."

Ken smiled happily hearing Selena's words. Ken returned to enjoying Selena's small and sweet lips.

Selena again stood in the yard of Ken's residence. Entering the house-made Selena evenly enter the tiger cage.

The presence of Selena and Ken was greeted by the waiters with dinner served in the kitchen.

In the middle of dinner, Raiden comes to visit Shiren. During the one day, Ken was not at home, and Shiren stayed at Raiden's house.

"This family is all weird," Selena thought to herself.

Raiden and Shiren join in for dinner with Ken and Selena. There was an eye interaction between Ken and Raiden over fighting over Selena.

"Selena. Don't you remember we met before?" he asked.

"Which day?"

"One year ago. You don't remember our meeting in Sinju at the New Year celebration? You and your mother came to Sinju. I gave you a rose in the garden at that time," Raiden said, trying to remind Selena of one year earlier.

"Yeah. You're that guy? S-then I... You're the one who bit me?"

"Thank you. At that time, I needed your blood to supplement my weak energy after the fight. You don't need to be afraid of me. I won't hurt you. I also thank you after you helped me," said Raiden.

"What are you talking about?" asked Shiren.

"No. You met Selena a year ago at the New Year's Eve event. Then, you bit the ice cream in her hand," Raiden lied to Shiren to hide the truth about his and Ken's identity.

"So, as long as Raiden and Ken's adoptive families don't know their identity, they are vampires," Selena said to her self.

Ken watched Selena, who smiled lightly while staring at the food that was in our hearts. However, maybe he knows clearly that Selena is hidden not because of food but because she has something on her mind. Ken misunderstood and thought that Selena liked Raiden after knowing what happened a year ago.

Ken was also one year ago, when he saw Raiden biting a woman who turned out to be Selena whom he didn't know. Selena's position, who was standing with her back to him, made Ken unable to see Selena's face.

"So, Selena was the woman who was bitten by Raiden. No wonder I didn't find the body of the woman who was bitten by Raiden, because the woman who was bitten by her was an Aiyana reincarnation," Ken said to himself.

Ken pushed back his chair and stood up and left the kitchen annoyed to see Raiden. Selena just stared at the departure of the gang with a confused look on her attitude.

Selena directed her gaze to Raiden and Shiren, who were sitting in front. She returned to enjoy eating at the table with the two of them without caring about how Ken felt. From the kitchen door Ken watched Selena who seemed to be enjoying the food with a smile without any problem with Raiden.

Ken's hands clenched in annoyance, his feet stepped out. His shoes made a sound when he stepped and climbed the stairs towards to his badroom.

Ken closed the bedroom door after he entered his room. Ken stood in front of the mirror and took off his top. Ken can see fire marks starting to appear on his chest. Ken started to feel pain in the fire marks coming out of his body.
