CHAPTER 21

(LAITO'S P.O.V)

As I stared in disgust from the shadows at Ayato and Yui, I growled lowly. Growing up I had never been jealous of Ayato, instead I felt sorry for him.

UNTILL NOW…

Ever since Ayato and Yui had become official as a couple, I was burning with jealousy on the inside. Between Ayato and I, I was always the cunning, and smarter one.

Always one step ahead…

But when Ayato claimed Yui, I felt like I had gotten bested. Yui was the definition of innocence, the forbidden fruit… Something always out of reach….

Ayato had got to her…

Since my other brothers weren't interested, I knew for sure I had a shot. Knowing how Ayato could be proud and careless, I thought I had the advantage.

I soon learnt that I was dead wrong…

I had underestimated him, and it had cost me. I had resorted to trying to persuade Ayato to share her, but he had made it clear that he had no intention of sharing. The more I saw her, it was the more I wanted her.

As I growled at their love making again, I saw a figure on my right. As I turned to see the figure better, I almost let out a loud snarl.

I teleported in front the figure. "What the fuck are you doing here?!," I snarled. "Tonight's your lucky night," Karl Heinz grinned. What I was looking at wasn't really my father, just a projection of him.

"I don't want anything from you." I hissed. "You sure?," my father grinned slyly. His golden catlike eyes shone with excitement, as if it held some sort of secret. "I know you desire her Laito. I've never see you fall head over heels for a human girl, it's quiete amusing.

Since she's out of reach, I can assist you in obtaining her. I'll even throw in a bonus." "Like what?." I snorted. If my father thinks he can convince me he has another thing coming. "I'll make you head of the family."

I unfolded my hands slowly, narrowing my eyes at him in suspicion. "What is it you want in return?." And there it was, that make a deal with the devil grin. "I'm bound to underworld as we speak, so I need you to go to the school's sanctuary ,and steal the Land of the lost.

Use the unbinding spell, and only then you'll figure out what I'm looking for." "Why should I believe you?." I questioned becoming angry again. "How do I know you're not trying to trick me?." "Because on the day of the full moon which is approaching, I have to make one of you the head of the family.

It's our tradition, and if you're wondering how I can give you Yui, if you become the head of the family you can take Yui, simply because as head of the family, since Yui is unwedded you can take her unchallenged. Under our vampire rules if you do then nothing can be done."

EVERYTHING HE SAID WAS TRUE…

From the choosing of a new head of the family, to me taking Yui.

Why didn't I think about this before?.

"Tick tock, Tick tock Laito, Ayato isn't going to be unmarried man forever, so what will it be?."
