FOREVER BOUND IN DARKNESS CHAPTER NINE
Emilio's POV I looked at Emilio, lying helpless on the ground. Could I really kill him? No, I couldn't."You don't understand," I said, shaking my head. "Emilio is different. He's kind and gentle. He wouldn't hurt anyone."Red snorted. "You're blinded by love, Lucas. You're not thinking clearly.""I am thinking clearly," I insisted. "And I know Emilio would never betray me."The blonde one spoke up. "But what about his family? They'll never accept him as a vampire. They'll hunt him down.""I'll protect him," I said firmly."But can you protect him from himself?" Red asked, raising an eyebrow. "What if he loses control and hurts someone?"I hesitated. That was a possibility. Vampires struggled with control, especially new ones."Emilio won't hurt anyone," I said, trying to sound confident.Red sighed. "Lucas, we're trying to save you from yourself. You're making a huge mistake.""I'm not making a mistake," I said, standing taller. "I love Emilio, and I'll do whatever it takes to keep

Emilio's POV There was an indescribable feeling that made me want to flip over. The hunger that overwhelmed me was something I couldn't quite describe. At some point, i imagined myself finishing a full bull but that wasn't the hunger.This one was different."That's it." Lucas exclaimed as he used his left hand to brush his head backwards."What's it?" I asked the moment I realized myself loosing my cool. "It's so hot." I complained standing up from where I was sitting to the kitchen. I opened the deep freezer and made to enter inside when Lucas stopped me."Are you crazy? You'll freeze to death." He muttered as he helped me out and closed the deep freezer."What's happening to me!? What's wrong?" I was sniffing around and I felt disgusted by my own behavior. Lucas on the other hand looked so worried. He paced back and forth thinking of a solution."Lucas please tell me I'm going to be fine." I asked as I grabbed his hands and walked towards him."Yes... Y, yes you will. This is jus

Emilio's POV I killed my best friend.I stared at Alex's lifeless body, cradled in my arms. My mind reeled in shock. How could this be? I thought for sure..."Alex, wake up," I whispered, my voice shaking.But he didn't move.I stood frozen, memories of Alex overwhelming me.I remembered our spontaneous midnight walks, sharing secrets under starry skies.Alex's goofy grin flashed in my mind, and I couldn't help but smile.Our silly arguments, our laughter, our silent understandings – it all flooded back.My chest tightened, grief and nostalgia twisting together.I recalled Alex's unwavering support, his encouragement, and his unconditional friendship.Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes as I realized.I'd never again hear Alex's laugh, never share another inside joke.Lucas burst into the room, his eyes wide with horror. He froze, taking in the scene before him."Emilio, what...?" Lucas trailed off, unable to finish.I shook my head, still in denial. "I thought...I thought he'd t

Emilio's POV "What did you just say?" I asked Lucas as anger and hatred overwhelmed me."We are not doing this Emilio. I'm sorry" He apologized. Not because he wanted to, because he felt that would make me feel better."You dare tell me this is the reason why Red would want to kill me? Have you forgotten you brought this one me?" I asked Lucas in anger."This is not the time for love arguments. You need to look for a away to take care of all the mess you caused without alerting your damned father shout us.I and Lucas's direction swevered to the door to see who was talking."Vikram..." Lucas made a low growl and she star d at Vikram with bloodlust."I didn't cause this, you did. The moment you decided to get lust from a human and most importantly our enemy." Vikram raised his hands in the air like he was surrendering and I any accusations."Your enemy who's now one of you." I reminded."You're not and will never be!" Vikram shouted. "You're an outcast. Don't you dare see yourself as

Emilio's POV We sat in the hospital's quiet conference room, surrounded by sterile white walls and the soft hum of fluorescent lights. Gray held the phone, his expression somber."Mrs. Johnson, I'm so sorry to inform you..." Gray's voice cracked as he delivered the news.Alex's mother's wails echoed through the phone, piercing my heart. I felt a pang of guilt for lying."Yes, ma'am, the autopsy confirmed...a seizure. We're still trying to understand what caused it," Gray continued.Lucas stood beside me, his eyes fixed on the floor. His compelling powers had manipulated the autopsy results, ensuring our story remained believable.I watched Gray's face, his eyes squinting in concentration."No, ma'am, there was no warning sign. It happened suddenly. We're all shocked," Gray reassured.The conversation continued, with Gray expertly navigating the delicate discussion.After what felt like an eternity, Gray ended the call."Done," he said, exhaling deeply.Lucas nodded. "The funeral arra

Lucas's POV I pulled out my phone, the screen illuminating my face in the darkness. Vikram's name flashed on the screen, and my heart sank. His calls rarely brought good news."Lucas," Vikram's voice was firm, laced with an undercurrent of urgency.I tensed, my grip on the phone tightening. "What is it, Vikram?""The Master wants to see you," Vikram replied, his tone devoid of emotion.A shiver ran down my spine. The Master's summons were never trivial. Something was amiss, and my instincts screamed warning."When?" I asked, already knowing the answer."Now. Come to the old warehouse on 5th and Main." Vikram's words hung in the air like a challenge.I hesitated, my mind racing. What did the Master want? The silence between us was heavy with unspoken threats."I'll be there," I said finally, resignation etched in my voice.Vikram ended the call without another word, leaving me with more questions than answers.I glanced at my watch, the ticking seconds echoing my racing heart.

Lucas's POV "Emilio, calm down," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "I'll get you blood. Just hold on."The Master's eyes narrowed. "Looks like your lover needs attention, Lucas."I ignored his sarcasm. "Emilio, where are you?""I'm...I'm at the park," Emilio replied, his voice laced with desperation. "Please, Lucas. I don't know how much longer I can—""I'm on my way," I interrupted, already moving toward the door.Vikram stepped aside, his expression unreadable."Take care of him, Lucas," the Master called out, his voice dripping with malice. "But remember, loyalty to our kind comes first."I nodded, knowing the Master's warning was more than just a reminder.As I rushed to Emilio's side, I couldn't shake off the feeling that our world was about to implode.Would Emilio's newfound nature tear us apart, or would we find a way to make our love work amidst the danger and deception surrounding us?Only time would tell.I sped to the park, my heart racing with every passing second.
FOREVER BOUND IN DARKNESS CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Emilio's POV I woke up to Lucas's warm breath on my skin, his chest rising and falling with each gentle snore. Our legs were tangled, and his arm wrapped around me, holding me close.As I gazed at his peaceful face, a nagging thought crept into my mind.How can Lucas be so calm about my father?The man who slaughtered his family, leaving Lucas with a burning desire for revenge.I knew Lucas's past, the pain and anger that fueled his quest for vengeance. It didn't add up. Lucas, the man who had dedicated years to planning his revenge, couldn't just let it go.Not because of me.Not because of our relationship.There had to be more.Lucas's eyes fluttered open, and he smiled, his gaze locking onto mine."Morning," he whispered, his voice husky.I forced a smile, trying to shake off my doubts."Morning."As we lay there, the morning sunlight casting a warm glow on our skin, my mind raced.What was Lucas's true intention?Was he using me to get closer to my father?The thought sent a shi

Emilio's POV "I'm not running, Lucas," I said, determination in my voice. "I'll face whatever comes my way."Lucas's expression turned serious. "Emilio, you're not thinking clearly. You're a Reaper now. You can't stay around humans for long.""Why not?" I asked, already knowing the answer."Because you'll suck their blood till they die," Lucas said bluntly. "It's not safe for you to be around your mother, either."My heart sank. Leave my mother? Leave the city?"I can't leave, Lucas," I protested. "I have enemies here. If I leave, they'll kill my mother."Lucas's eyes filled with understanding. "I know it's hard, Emilio. But it's the best option. We'll find a way to keep your mother safe."But I shook my head. "No, Lucas. I won't leave her behind. I'll find another way."Lucas sighed. "Emilio, you're not thinking about yourself. You're a Reaper now. You need to think about your own survival."Survival? What survival?"My survival doesn't matter without my mother," I said firmly. "I'l

Lucas's POV I woke up early, feeling excited for our vacation. Emilio was still sleeping, so I quietly got out of bed and started getting ready.As I was packing my bag, my phone rang. It was one of my trusted guys, Victor."Lucas, we have a problem," Victor said, his voice serious."What is it?" I asked, immediately alert."Operation Nightshade," Victor replied. "It's a setup against you and Emilio."My heart sank. "What do you mean?""Someone's been planning this for months," Victor explained. "They're using Emilio's father to hunt you down, and they've got evidence to expose Emilio's secret to the world."I felt a chill run down my spine. "How did you find out?""I hacked into their system," Victor said. "I saw the plans, Lucas. They're going to use Emilio's mother against him, and they've got a recording of Emilio confessing to Alex's death."My mind was racing. This was bad."Where are they?" I demanded."They're tracking your every move," Victor warned. "They know about your va

Unknown POV The phone call ended, and a satisfied smile spread across their face. Emilio's fear was clear, even through the line."Perfect," they muttered, setting the phone down.Their eyes narrowed, focusing on the task at hand. Lucas and Emilio thought they were safe, but they were wrong.A plan had been set in motion, months in the making. The vacation Lucas mentioned was exactly what they needed.Their gaze shifted to a map of the city, pinpointing locations and timelines. Emilio's father was a useful pawn, but he wouldn't be enough.More pieces needed to be moved into place.They picked up a secure phone and dialed a number. "It's time to proceed," they said, voice distorted."Lucas and Emilio are getting closer to the truth. We can't let that happen."The person on the other end listened intently. "What's the next step?""They'll be taking a trip soon. We'll be ready."A sinister grin spread across their face. "Emilio's father will create a diversion. We'll handle the rest."
