Read The Dhampir's Hero :: Is She Asleep

The sound of shoes scraping the floor was followed by the sound of the door handle being pulled, shortly after the door swung open. From where she laid on the soft white bed, Marya Zaleska pretended to be asleep, but she could pick up the enticing scent of the human that just came into her room.

"Is she asleep?!"

The voice sounded disappointed on seeing the figure that was presumably asleep. The woman was covered in a lilac quilted cover all the way to her chest wearing a satin petal pink pajama underneath. Glossy dark hair spread across the pillow cover. Pretty red lips stood starkly against her pale face.

Eyes closed, Marya Zaleska could sense the emotions that flowed within the room, in form of a variety of colors. She sensed curiosity, desire, and deception.

Ruan Yuchen stared at the pretty woman whom he brought back from his boating adventure taking with him a few of his bodyguards. A dive in the water forever changed the course of the young man's life. Till now, he did not know what possessed him to swim that deep into the dark blue water to pull out an old mold infested coffin with strange inscriptions on them with the help of his men.

He felt the pull to draw closer to the woman whose unnaturally pale face called forth a protective instinct within him.

It took much effort for Ruan Yuchen to fight the urge to touch the sleeping woman. As he turned to leave the room, he suddenly felt the hairs at the back of his neck rise. That was when a soft hauntingly melodious voice came from behind him.

"Are you the one, that woke me up from my slumber?!"

Ruan Yuchen turned to see who spoke to him, the eyes that looked back at him was anything but human, they were the color of blood!
