Lucian I winced, rubbing my stinging cheek. The force of Raven's slap remained. I deserved it for being so stupid to think she'd jump on me like a lovestruck puppy after I asked for her forgiveness or be easily manipulated without questioning me. Rooted on the spot, I watched her walk away, cursing under my breath. The girl was petite but bold and hostile. Thanks to that bastard, Dimitri, I'd received an unwarranted slap. My shoulders sagged like a deflated balloon. The idiot threatened me to gather information from Vlad's friends, including his girlfriend, about the staff of authority. I had two days to come up with something, and the consequences of not getting sufficient information would be brutal. But how could I ask them a string of questions without them becoming suspicious? Vlad's friends, especially Zarek, were discerning and could easily recognize a lie. It was a miracle that I hadn't gotten caught at this point. "Lucian, you're a man. I didn't raise you a coward!"

Vlad Days and nights passed, and I was still trapped in Bloodline Manor like a helpless butterfly, but I had completely healed and grown stronger. My desperation grew by the second. I wondered what was going on in the outside world. Dimitri hadn't come to threaten me in days. For sure, he was surely up to something sinister. My only companion was a damn diary where I scribbled all my plans to escape, waiting for the perfect time to hatch my plan. I was staring at a cow giving birth. The mother lay exhausted on the ground after pushing her calves far enough out. She was too weak to stand and the smell of its dung and blood was strong enough to kill, but the cows were the only distractions I had because I was so close to going insane. I loved video games and being with my phone. Not having that luxury was killing me. My ears perched when someone knocked on my door. "It's open," I said flatly. Anna, who was the only innocent person in this manor because she had no idea I was

Raven Confusion was an understatement for how I felt right now. My spirit was in chaos. I couldn't believe that Vlad had asked me for my forgiveness and wanted me back, even though I ended up whacking his face, which I had the right to, after all, he'd put me through. Something was off, no doubt. Yet, I couldn't deny that I still loved him. Our brief relationship brought me back to life in ways I'd never imagined. I lay on Taylor's bunk, staring off into mid-distance at the star design on her ceiling, lost in thought. I didn't want to be involved in a game of back and forth where I would be easily swayed by Vlad's seduction. I wasn't that stupid. Taylor didn't see a big deal in Vlad wanting to come back to me. "It was bound to happen," she chuckled, scooping the last of her vanilla ice cream."I know you don't see it that way, but I knew his relationship with Nova was not going to last." "I'm not buying that bullshit," I sighed. "I know something triggered him to ask for my fo

Raven I edged closer to Dora until our eyes met. Dora held her head high and a broad smile graced her lips. My curiosity heightened, wondering what she wanted from me, considering that we had only met once. There was only one way to find out, but something in me suspected Vlad sent her, but why would he when we recently reunited? "Hi," I formed a cheeky smile, hugging her. "What a surprise to see you here." "Hello, Raven, right? I can never forget your name, considering how my boy never stops gushing about you," she said and hugged me back. When she pulled away, she stared at me with kind, observant eyes. The clouds darkened and it began to drizzle."You might want to come into the hall," I said to her. We found a secluded corner in the empty hall and sat opposite each other. Silence settled on us like mist, filling the air. I waited for her to speak but she didn't, making me uncomfortable. "Does Vlad know you are here?" I managed to say. She let out a soft chuckle, repl

Lucian I had to keep up with this maze of dating Raven, but it felt nothing like the true affection I felt for Nova. Nova made my loins warm with love and pure passion, the complete opposite of how I felt for Raven. I never knew how things got so complicated, but I didn't know how long I could pretend. Raven's piercing gray eyes could read my guilt, yet I continued with the charade of acting as the perfect boyfriend. For instance, I got her a plate of chocolate ice cream, cards, and other tidbits I could get from the school's snack kiosk, and I was forced to spend time with her and make her happy. But the problem was that something about her made me uncomfortable, as though she had the power to cough out the truth from me. The way her body angled away from me whenever I touched her and stared at me like I was a carton of spoiled milk that should be thrown away. Eventually, I told myself it was her nature because there was no way in hell she knew anything about the switch. My guil

Raven Sleeping had become a luxury for me. Restlessness ate me up throughout the night as I tossed and turned in my bed. I couldn't even shut my eyes for a moment. I was afraid, trapped, and burdened by this secret. I didn't know how long I could continue keeping it. The fact that Vlad was in trouble gripped my soul, and I needed to see him. Telling my dad was useless because he would never give me the staff of authority. The only person who could bring a hint of a solution was Dora. I spent all night thinking and thinking, racking my brain for a solution to my problems, until the morning light filtered in. I woke up with a banging headache. It didn't help that my roommates decided to wake up that morning, yelling like banshees as they prepared for the day. I rubbed my temples, feeling a yawn escape my lips. As the minutes ticked by, the urge to call Dora became stronger. I just wanted to break free from this suffocating web of silence and uncertainty. "Fuck it," I thought. "I

Raven My eyes fluttered open, and I checked the time. It was four am. The room was still flooded in darkness, and my roommates were fast asleep. I couldn't stay in bed any longer. I needed to release the restless energy in my body. Quietly slipping out of bed, I reached for my hoodie and running shoes, ensuring to be as quiet as I could, and tiptoed to the door. The hallway was dimly lit, and I headed out. It was dark except for the faint glow of streetlights and scattered moonlight filtering through the canopy of trees. The morning dew caressed my face as I began to run, my shoes hitting the pavement. I sighed as my body absorbed the energy that was drowning through my veins. I ran past the school's vicinity and didn't stop until I released all the pent-up sweat and worries. Returning to the dorm, I headed to the bathroom, turned on the cold water, and enjoyed the shock it sent through my body. After washing up, I lay on the bed. My roommates had already started getting ready for

Lucian I headed for a meeting with the King, his whore wife, and the vermin, Dimitri. We stepped down from the never-ending limousine, heading into a huge skyscraper building. It was a meeting of all the vampire Kings in our district. King Vladislav dressed in a flowing white coat, and I followed closely in his footsteps. We headed into the magnificent house, and I looked around. Everywhere was displayed with wealth and opulence. It was crazy how these kings were rich, living in a fantasy world, wearing clothes crusted in gold. As usual, a rich show-off, treating money like firewood, and rich enough to bend reality. A lot of the women, like Elvira, had to die for porcelain skin, highly sophisticated, haughty faces with ridiculous shades of makeup. These were incredibly rich that even their sixth generation could never be poor. It pissed me off that I had lived in poverty all my life, while my dad was living in plenty and resplendence. I watched the Queen, who wore a fur dress ador
