Allure Of The Night

[Mature Content] The body of a mermaid is a vault of treasures. Their tears formed the most splendid of pearls, their exquisite blood a euphoric drug for vampires, their luscious hair woven into the finest of silk, and their tender meat sought after by werewolves more than Heaven’s ambrosia. The creatures of night mingled within human society, fleeced in the wool of aristocracy, veiled in their portrayed innocence and nobility, their savagery continued to predate on the weak and powerless. Genevieve Barlow, Eve for short, was an exceptionally strange young lady. She had an alluring and beguiling nature, where for her twenty-four year old self had barely changed in appearance since her eighteenth birthday. She had fooled the administration and had gotten a degree so that she could have a better life. Most odd of all was that Eve had a secret she shared with no one. She enters the house of Moriarty, not just to earn but also to find answers on what happened to her mother nearly two decades ago. Unfortunately, things do not always proceed as one planned. Despite her cautious nature and desire to stay out of sight, a cold pair of eyes falls on her, that soon refuses to leave her out of sight.

I have been humbled

Noah didn't want to share it with his mother. He had once shared with her something and it had gone to his father, before he was punished. And though Eve was now married, he didn't see a point to tell about this. He said, 

"No. I think it is time everyone stopped expecting and telling me what to do. Fortunately or unfortunately, I am the Duke now and I have responsibilities to complete and at the moment, marriage is not on my mind."

He was mentally exhausted after all these years of having to push and meet everyone's expectations, to walk in the lines drawn for him, that he couldn't do it anymore. 

Lady Hilda's expression told everything she wanted to tell her son. But she implicitly let Noah know, "I am disappointed by your action, son. It isn't too late yet, and if you think again, Anaya might change her mind and stay."
