If Only She Knew

Lina was afraid of answering the question. When Lina woke up in a bed that wasn't hers, in a room that was unfamiliar, and a setting that she didn't know, she kept her mouth shut. She heard rumors.

There were talks of brutal murders across the entire world. Lifeless bodies found in alleyways, beaches, or private spots. There were puncture wounds on their body, be it the neck or wrist, and their bodies were drained of blood. The rumors haven't died down for decades, and people thought there were supernatural creatures roaming amongst them. Surely, not?

Kaden entered the room quietly. His sharp gaze scanned her from head to toe. She peered at him helplessly, without a single ounce of joy in her eyes. She was nothing like the bright and dazzling woman from Belle Night. They had punished the light out of her.
