FOREVER BOUND IN DARKNESS CHAPTER FORTY-THREE
Lucas POV I stood outside Emilio's door, feeling really nervous.Ahhh, this is it again.My heart was beating super fast, like it was going to jump out of my chest! I was shivering too, but I wasn't sure if it was because I was cold or just really scared.I knew Emilio was very upset with me. He thought I had done something wrong, and I didn't know how to tell him the truth. I felt terrible because I knew I hadn't done anything wrong, but Emilio didn't believe me.I took a deep breath and tried to calm down. I raised my hand and knocked gently on the door. "Emilio, it's me, Lucas," I said softly. My voice sounded really quiet, even to me.At first, there was no answer. I thought maybe Emilio wasn't home, or maybe he was just ignoring me. But then I heard footsteps coming from inside. They sounded really heavy and slow, like Emilio was walking with big, heavy shoes.The footsteps got closer and closer, and then the door opened. Emilio stood there, looking really serious and unhappy. H

Lucas's POV The weight of the past hung over me like a storm cloud that would never go away. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw their faces: my mother, my sisters. Their laughter echoed in my mind, but it was always followed by the terrible memory of losing them. The man who had taken them from me—Emilio's father—was gone now, but the pain he caused still lived in my chest, sharp and heavy. And now, Emilio wanted revenge for his own parents. The cycle of hurt and anger felt like it would never end. How did it come to this? How did we go from being friends to… to enemies? I sat on a rock by the river, staring at the water as it rushed over the stones. The sound used to calm me, but now it was just noise. My heart ached, torn between so many emotions I couldn’t even name them all. I heard footsteps behind me and turned to see Vikram. His tall figure cast a shadow, and his expression was as serious as ever. “Lucas,” he said, his voice low. “You can’t keep sitting out here fore

Vikram’s POVI leaned back in my chair, a smug smile spreading across my face as I swirled the glass of juice in my hand. Things were finally falling into place, just as I had planned. Emilio and Lucas… their relationship was cracked, maybe even broken beyond repair. And all it had taken was a little nudge… okay, maybe more than a little nudge. But it was worth it.Lucas belonged to me. He just didn’t realize it yet.I gazed out the window at the darkening sky, feeling a sense of satisfaction bubbling inside me. Emilio had always been in the way, always so close to Lucas, always pulling him into his world. And Lucas, with that soft heart of his, never saw it. He never noticed how Emilio’s presence was a barrier between us, how it stopped him from seeing what was right in front of him. Me.But now? Now Emilio was angry, hurt, maybe even ready to walk away from Lucas for good.“He’ll come running to me,” I muttered under my breath

Emilio’s POV The room was quiet, too quiet. I sat by the window, staring at the darkness outside, my mind racing. The stars were out, but their light didn’t feel comforting tonight. They looked cold and distant, like they were mocking me. Mocking what I had lost. Lucas… I trusted him. I thought he was my friend, someone who would always stand by me. And now? Now I couldn’t even look at him without feeling betrayed. The pain in my chest felt sharp, like a knife twisting deeper every time I thought about it. But I wasn’t going to let that pain win. No. I was going to do something about it. And then there was Vikram. That smug, arrogant smile of his… I could see it so clearly in my mind. He thought he’d won. He thought he could break everything I cared about and get away with it. But he was wrong. He didn’t know what I was capable of. “You messed with t

Lucas's POV “Vikram has always been there for me,” I muttered under my breath, my voice trembling with emotion. “But Emilio... Emilio feels like sunlight in a world of shadows.”The thought of Emilio brought a faint smile to my lips. His laughter, his warmth, and the way his eyes seemed to see right through my immortal façade—it was intoxicating. Yet, Vikram, my oldest friend— in this case, allow me call him my beta my Beta, had stood by me through centuries of blood and battle. How could I possibly choose between them?A sharp knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. I hesitated before calling out, “Come in.”The door creaked open, revealing Vikram. Tall, stoic, and radiating quiet strength, he stepped into the room. His dark eyes studied me with concern.“You’re troubled,” he said, closing the door behind him. “What’s going on?”I forced a smile. “Nothing I can’t handle.”“Don’t do that,” Vikram said

Lucas's POV Since the last time Vikram asked me to make a choice between him and Emilio, I've been lost in thinking and I've decided to do the next right thing. Make both of them be on good terms....I haven't heard or seen Emilio so I decided to respect him and give him the space he neededd. As for Vikram......I never thought one conversation could flip my world upside down.

Vikram’s intentions, his actions, and the depth of his feelings for me—all of it was laid bare. But let me start from the beginning.It was a quiet evening in the pack house, the kind of peaceful moment that usually makes you feel grateful. Except, something was off.

EMILIO'S POVI stared at my phone, the screen glowing in the dim light of my room. A text from Alex and Jake popped up ."Hey, Emilio. Follow us to Eternal tonight. Trust us, you won't regret it."My curiosity piqued, I hesitated for a moment. Eternal was the new club downtown, rumored to be exclusive and secretive. What were my friends getting themselves into?"It's not about regretting it. I have some projects to work on and—" I was trying to come up with an excuse but they were quick to notice it as another text came in while I was typing."No excuse would be accepted anyways." Alex and Jake were my closest friends. We'd been through thick and thin together. If they wanted me to follow them, I wouldn't question it.'Alright, guys. I'm in. Lead the way,' I typed back.Within minutes, they responded with the address."Come alone. There are a lot of girls and in your case, a lot of charming dudes." A shiver ran down my spine. A smile lingered on my face for a bit as I chuckled to

Writer's POV “Vikram,” Emilio muttered under his breath, his fangs glinting as he clenched his jaw. “You’ll pay for this.”Earlier, Emilio had returned home to find his parents dead. The gruesome scene was seared into his memory—the lifeless bodies, the blood pooled on the floor, and the hollow silence that followed. But now, as a vampire, his senses were sharper. He could smell Vikram’s scent lingering in the air that night. And Donald Dale’s name had surfaced in whispers among those who thrived in the shadows. Together, they had orchestrated the massacre.Emilio’s rage had been unbearable, driving him to the edge. He had embraced his new nature, using his heightened strength and speed to hunt down clues. It wasn’t long before he confronted Vikram directly. The showdown had been inevitable.“You murdered them!” Emilio roared, his voice echoing through the abandoned warehouse where Vikram now stood. His crimson eyes burned with fury. “And for what? Revenge? Power? Or was it just to s

Vikram’s POV As the right hand man to his father, it was my duty to guide him, to make sure he followed the path his family expected. But lately, it had become harder. Because something was changing inside me, something I wasn’t ready to admit.I could feel my chest tighten whenever I looked at him. He was just sitting there, staring at the floor, his hands trembling slightly. I wanted to reach out, to take his hand and tell him everything would be okay. I wanted to be the one to comfort him, to make him feel safe. But there was something stopping me. Something I had been fighting for so long.I had feelings for him. Strong feelings. Feelings that made my heart race every time he looked at me. I was falling in love with Lucas.No, I'm in love with him.But it wasn’t that simple. He didn’t love me back. He was in love with Emilio. The boy who was always there, the boy who seemed to make Lucas smile, even when his world was falling apart. And every time I saw them together, somethin

Lucas POV Being a vampire meant I felt things differently. But tonight, the cold seemed to settle in my chest, pressing down on me like a heavy weight. I sat on the stone steps outside the old family house, my mind spinning. I felt like I couldn’t breathe, though I didn’t need to. “Lucas,” my father’s voice still echoed in my head. His words were sharp, like blades. “You know what you have to do. Emilio is the son of Ray. Ray killed your mother. He killed your sister. You must make him pay. Emilio has to die.” But how could I? How could I hurt Emilio, the person I loved more than anything? I buried my face in my hands. “Lucas,” a voice interrupted my thoughts Vikram always had this calm, serious look on his face, but tonight, he looked almost concerned. “What?” I mumbled, not lifting my head. He sat down beside me. “You’re torn. I can see it. But you have to think about your family. Your mother, your sister. They deserve justice.” “Justice?” I snapped, looking up at him. “Is
