Chapter 3

He pushed her towards him, ordering, "Book her in the back room and offer her food and drink. Do not allow her to leave her; do you understand?" »

And Zakaria prompted him to carry out his orders without hesitation or inaction, and would he dare to ask him? No, he doesn't dare, because that's how he trained since his childhood. Jayden's orders are not refused, discussed, or questioned for any reason, and this understanding between them is the main reason for his remaining throughout those centuries as his loyal servant and helper.

He followed his gaze for a moment, disappearing in the hall, and then went back to the forest to meet Isaiah, and they had to comb the beach to make sure that there were no other intruders.

He has lived for three hundred years on this island without ever revealing himself or encountering an incident like this one; no human being has ever reached him, nor have a very small number of vampires.

passersby,

Either they go their way without incurring into the island, or they are eliminated when they discover their headquarters, and certainly the sirens, those monsters that roam around Bermuda in search of victims and prey on them with greed and brutality.

Zakaria came out of the whole house, closing the door behind him and breathing tightly. She ruptured his eardrums with her continuous screaming and hit the door violently until she urged him to flee from the whole house.

"Zechariah, what is this screaming coming from the house?" Carmen important asked him to enter, and he stood in her path, preventing her progress.

"You can't go in; Jaden is outside."

Carmen raised an eyebrow, watching him suspiciously, listening to the screaming and insults coming from inside, trying to enter again, so he met her this time by pulling his dagger in her face, ordering "Retreat."

"What happens inside, to those who scream and curse?"

She shouted at him in a commanding tone, thinking that she would frighten him. Carmen, the woman whom everyone fears, is a domineering, cruel, and ruthless female who, despite all those qualities for which she is famous, does not get tired or bored of her failed attempts to win Jayden to her. She left no way or method, but she tried it or applied it to him to no avail, as she always ends up being thrown out without even a word of thanks from him in return for the services that she persistently offered him.

She doesn't want to understand that Jayden was not created to allow a woman to get any of his feelings or even give them to her, until he finally starts to believe that his master has a stone in his chest in the place of that heart that should have been there, and Carmen does not want to give in to that fact.

"What is happening here?"

They both turned to hear Jaden's voice behind them, accompanied by Isaiah and Rakan.

"Oh, Jayden, here you are," Carmen said in a tone that tried to seem charming to get out of her in a way that was suspicious and laughable. She approached him, and he darkened his eyes, warning her to dare and take an extra step towards him. She stood on the ground, equivocating.

"I was passing by, and I heard screaming coming from inside. What is happening?

He was about to ask Zacharias about any screaming when the sound of screaming rose again, accompanied by ugly insults and continuous knocking on the door. Zacharias quickly said

"She hadn't stopped screaming for more than two hours; she was unconscious for some time, and when I woke up, it was as if the gates of hell had opened wide inside the house."

Jayden signalled to his companions to follow him, pointing to Carmen to stay away from his goal, so she did without fail, watching his back disappear into his house, followed by Isaiah and Rakan, and then Zakaria, who closed the door in her face without apology.

"We have to know how she got here and whether she is alone. It is a matter to be reckoned with, especially since these incidents have begun to recur and will contribute to exposing our matter," Isaiah said from behind him.

"According to her saying that she does not remember anything, either she is lying or she really does not remember," Jayden replied.

"Well, it is a very easy matter. We can sense if she is lying, especially if she is forgetful. These people have feelings that overwhelm all their actions. We can smell their lies before we even feel them." Rakan added.
