FOREVER BOUND IN DARKNESS CHAPTER TWENTY -FOUR
Lucas's POV I frantically searched the crowded streets, my heart racing with every passing second. Emilio had vanished into thin air, and I had no idea where he was or what he might do.I pushed through the throngs of people, my eyes scanning the sea of faces for a glimpse of Emilio's dark hair. But he was nowhere to be found.I quickened my pace, my mind racing with worst-case scenarios. What if Emilio lost control and hurt someone? What if he exposed our secret to the human world?I turned down a narrow alleyway, hoping to catch a glimpse of Emilio. But the alley was empty, the only sound the distant hum of the city.I spun around, my eyes scanning the rooftops and the surrounding buildings. Where could Emilio be?Suddenly, my phone buzzed in my pocket. I pulled it out, hoping against hope that it was Emilio. But it was Marcus, my right-hand man."Lucas, I've tracked Emilio's phone to an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town," Marcus said, his voice low and urgent. "I think

Lucas's POV I looked at him straight on the eyes and the memory of that night flooded my brain. The hunger to rip him off limbs by limbs. I wanted him to suffer for the deaths of all my family. I want to make him beg for his life. He wore a smug smile when he was just few inches away from me. A smile that I badly want to punch off of his face. A smile that he wore that night."It's been a while." My gaze were kept on his hands to watch any movement he wanted to make. The next second he moves, he'll be dropped dead.The only reason he's still alive is because of Emilio. I'm sure he wouldn't hesitate to kill Emilio."Get to it already old punk." I snarled and his face changed from shock to anger."Aggressive and stubborn and will always be." He scrunched his nose and made a movement with his hands. My eyes followed duley."Where is Emilio?" I asked him as anger bubbled in my stomach.His face looked shocked as he glanced behind me. I also looked behind him but saw no one. I was certa

Lucas's POVI sat down beside Emilio, my eyes locked on his. "Tell me everything," I said, my voice low and urgent.Emilio took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling. "I remember being taken from the hotel," he began. "I was drugged, and when I woke up, I was in some kind of laboratory. There were people in white coats, and they were injecting me with something."I felt a surge of anger at the thought of Emilio being experimented on. "What did they say to you?" I asked, my voice tight with control.Emilio's eyes clouded over. "They said they were trying to enhance my powers," he said. "They said I was special, that I had the potential to be a powerful weapon."I gritted my teeth. "A weapon?" I repeated. "What do you mean?"Emilio shook his head. "I don't know," he said. "But I know it wasn't good. They were using me for their own purposes, and I knew I had to escape."I nodded, my mind racing with thoughts of Operation Night Shade. "And then what happened?" I asked.His eyes dr

Lucas's Pov “You cannot kill me, Lucas. We have a lot of history together. Are you just going to throw all of that away because of some petty thing such as love?” Vikram said with a scoff. I ran my fingers through my hair. “Vikram, you've done a lot of cruel things. Do you really think that I'm going to let all of that go? Remember, Emilio is mine. And if you ever think of hurting him, you're dead.” “No, i don't even have to hurt him. You'll hurt him.” Vikram said. “What do you mean?” I asked, causing him to halt in his steps. “I bumped into someone who is highly intuitive and got a prophesy about you. I don't even need to harm Emilio, you'll be the one to do it.” I felt a rush of fear run throughout my body at the thought of hurting Emilio. It just didn't make any sense. “What do you mean I'll be the one to hurt Emilio?” “Your father's blood is in you,” Vikram said. “Sooner or later you'll be the one to eventually hurt him.” I laughed. “You really think I'm going

Lucas's POV I stepped into the hotel and was instantly greeted by security. I responded with a nod and went my way. I went to the front desk and told the receptionist what I was there for but I didn't finish my words when Emilio appeared out of nowhere. A smile crept into my cheeks as I saw him. Emilio walked over to me and gave the receptionist a flat stare. “He's with me.” The receptionist bowed her head and cleared her throat. “Oh.” Emilio walked out over to me with a gentle smile on his face. “This way,” I followed him to his room at the hotel and noticed how delicately arranged that it was. It's walls are covered in light blue paint and the aesthetics of the room was naturally very flamboyant. “What is going on with you?” I asked as soon as the room door was shut. Emilio looked at me and held back a smile. “Was just thinking. My emotional space is just a little bit shaky now. I was just thinking if you'll have the same love for me that you claim to, in the future.”

Emilio's POV I didn't blush. Instead, I looked at Lucas seriously and said, “Follow the case of your father seriously, who knows who his body was snatched by.”Lucas frowned. “Whoever did it must have some nerve.”Emilio sighed and said, “You should leave. Take care of your family issues first.”“I should go?” he asked and I nodded.“Yeah, that's the only way we can be with each other with no distractions.” I said, trying to be calm.Lucas gave me a look. “You’re right. But I'll still be with you, tonight. I can go take responsibilities tomorrow.”“Then it will be too late.” I said, which led him to sigh.“It will be too late, huh. You have a point.” Lucas said.“I do.” I responded.He walked over to me and kissed my forehead. I closed my eyes, taking in the feeling as much as I could. Then he pulled away and stood on his feet.“Emilio, only you can convince me of doing something that I don't want to do.” “You're kidding. Your father is somewhat very specific in your life, you have

Emilio's POV “I don't know what to say but I think I'd never do that.”“You think? This is something that happens each and every day.” Mackenzie said. “You might think you're good for now but wait until the day when you're desperate comes. You would know how to be bad. Especially when someone that you know is involved. Particularly someone that you love.”I swallowed as I looked at Mackenzie. It was probably my humanness that attracted Lucas to me. What happens if the humanness is gone. Would Lucas still love me the same way?“Mackenzie—”“—How do you know my name? I never told you that,” she cut in defensively.“I heard your ex call you that before he left.” I said.“Is that so?” She said, a slight smile appearing on her cheeks.“I didn't take you for the kind to eavesdrop on somebody else's conversation.”“Well, I couldn't help it. Vampire hearing, you know?”She smirked.“To you, would that be a good thing or a bad thing?”“None. I'm pretty much in the middle of it if that's what

Emilio's POV “It doesn't matter, Lucas. Because I am what I am now and it's never going to change. Even though I try to keep these instincts at bay, they're still going to exist.” I said and he nodded.“I'm sorry Emilio, if it seems like I'm asking too much of you.”I wiped the corner of my eyes that were brimming with tears.“Don't worry,” Lucas put his arms around me and I smiled.“Thank you for buying so much food and snacks but next time, don't. It won't satisfy me anyway.”Lucas pulled away from the hug and gave me one long look.“You know what, you're right. I should go now and handle family business.”I gave Lucas a nod and he smiled at me before walking out of the room.I gave the foods and snacks he bought and look and then began to open them. I started with the sea boil and took a bite but it was unappetising to me. I had completely changed from who I used to be. Before, this kind of meal would probably push someone like me to the brink but now…My phone beeped and I check

EPILOGUE Lucas's POV Two years had passed. Two years since the war ended. Since the city had been rebuilt. Since humans and vampires had learned, slowly but surely, to coexist. And through it all, Emilio and I had remained together. Our love had endured battles, bloodshed, and fear. It had survived the weight of the past and the uncertainty of the future. We had chosen each other—again and again—until there was no doubt left. Today, under the soft glow of the evening sun, we would make that choice one more time. The ceremony was held in the heart of the city, in a grand, open courtyard surrounded by the people who had become our family. Humans and vampires alike sat together, watching as Emilio and I stood beneath a beautifully decorated arch, our hands entwined. Mariah and Xena sat in the front row, their smiles wide. Irene, despite everything, standing at the back with her arms crossed but an expression that was… softer than usual. Emilio’s old vampire allies were pres

FINALE Lucas's POV The phone rang again. I barely had time to process everything from before when another call came in. Emilio glanced at me, raising an eyebrow. We were still sitting on the couch, our bodies close, but the warmth from earlier had faded. Something about this call felt different. I answered. "Lucas." A deep voice responded. "Mr. Newcastle, this is John Carter. I’m with the government." That made me sit up straighter. Emilio noticed and watched me closely. "The government?" I repeated, my grip tightening on the phone. "Yes," John said. "I’m sure you know the city is in ruins. The battle left many without homes, and the people needed stability. We’ve been observing you and Emilio. You both fought to protect this place, and we need your help now to rebuild it." I felt Emilio stiffen beside me. I met his eyes, searching for his thoughts. This was unexpected. A human official—someone from the government—asking for help from vampires? That had never happened be

Lucas's POV "Thank you."The words caught me off guard. I turned to see an older woman standing before me, her clothes torn and dusty, her face smudged with dirt. But her eyes—those eyes—were kind. She held out her trembling hands, as if unsure whether she should touch me or not."You saved us," she repeated. "Thank you."I didn’t know how to respond. I had never expected gratitude. Fear, maybe. Hatred, perhaps. But not this. Not from these people. After all, Emilio and I were vampires, and not just any vampires. We had fought in a battle that had left the city in ruins. People had died. Lives had been destroyed. Yet here she was, looking at me like I had done something good.More people gathered around us. Slowly, they came out from the rubble, the broken buildings, the dark alleys. They were weary, their faces worn, but there was a soft relief in their eyes. Some carried the injured, others clutched their loved ones, whispering reassurances."We wouldn't have survived without you,"

Emilio's POV "I'm tired."The words slipped from my mouth before I even thought about them. My body ached, my head pounded, and my heart felt heavier than it ever had before. I was exhausted, more than I had ever been in my entire life. Everything hurt. My arms, my legs, my chest—even my thoughts felt slow and heavy, like they were sinking into thick mud.I looked around at what was left of the city.Lucas stood beside me, silent. His face was pale, his eyes staring ahead like he wasn’t really seeing anything. I knew how he felt. We had won, but at what cost?The city was in ruins. The people who had lived here, worked here, built their lives here—everything they had was gone. All because of Vikram.Vikram.The name made my chest tighten. He had caused so much pain, so much destruction. He had played with people’s lives like they were nothing, used them like tools, broken them when they were no longer useful. I hated him. I hated him for everything he had done. And now he was gone

Lucas's POV “It’s over.” Emilio’s voice cut through the heavy silence like a knife, sharp and unyielding. But I didn’t move. I couldn’t. My body felt like it was made of stone, every muscle locked in place, every breath shallow and forced. My heart pounded against my ribs, each beat a reminder of what I had just done. Vikram lay at my feet, his body still, unmoving. Blood seeped from the deep wound in his chest, spreading like ink across the cracked pavement. The firelight flickered in his open eyes, reflecting emptiness. He was no longer the man I had fought, no longer the threat I had feared. He was just a lifeless shell now. A body. A memory. A mistake I could never take back. I had done it. I had killed him. My hands still gripped the hilt of my sword, fingers curled so tightly that my knuckles had turned white. The weapon was buried deep in Vikram’s chest, its steel stained red. I couldn’t let go. The weight of it felt heavier than before, as if the blade itself carried
FOREVER BOUND IN DARKNESS CHAPTER HUNDRED AND NINE
Emilio's POV The city burned. Smoke curled into the sky, thick and suffocating, choking the air with the scent of ash and blood. Flames licked at the buildings, casting long, jagged shadows against the ruined streets. The heat pressed against my skin, but it was nothing compared to the fire in my chest. Vikram stood ahead, his figure dark against the inferno, a cruel smirk tugging at his lips. His eyes, sharp and gleaming, locked onto me like a predator watching its prey. Emilio was beside me, his breath unsteady but his stance firm. His presence was the only thing keeping me from losing myself completely. My fingers curled into fists. My body ached, bruises and cuts stinging with every movement, but none of that mattered. Not now. Vikram tilted his head, amused. “Look at you,” he murmured, voice smooth like poison. “Still standing. Still fighting for something that was never yours to begin with.” Rage clawed up my throat, hot and unforgiving. My heart pounded. I wanted to lu

Emilio's POV This was getting too much and I couldn't breathe so I ran away, I ran till I couldn't breath.I need to breathe! I was going berserk, I was losing myself and I didn't want my rippers killer instinct to come up.I heard footsteps behind me and realized that it was Lucas. "Hey...." He muttered with frustration."We need to talk." I didn't even give him time.Lucas's voice was quiet, but the weight of his words made Emilio turn around immediately. They were in Lucas's room, a dimly lit space filled with the silence of unspoken thoughts. The air was heavy, thick with the tension Lucas had been carrying since Vikram’s betrayal. Emilio frowned, stepping closer."I know," Emilio whispered. "It's about Vikram, isn't it?"Lucas ran a hand through his hair, feeling the frustration and regret claw at his chest. "Yeah. It is." He let out a shaky breath. "I don't know what to do. I feel like... I feel like this is all my fault."Emilio's brows furrowed. "Lucas—""No, just—just let

Lucas’s POVChaos. The battlefield is nothing but blood, screams, and shadows moving too fast to track. The air is thick with the metallic tang of spilled blood, so sharp it clings to the back of my throat like poison. I swing my blade, the steel slicing clean through the neck of a rogue vampire before it can reach me. Its body collapses at my feet, twitching, but there’s no time to catch my breath. Another one takes its place almost instantly, snarling, eyes glowing with that unnatural hunger. Damn it. There are too many. “Lucas, behind you!” Emilio’s voice cuts through the chaos. Instinct kicks in. I twist just in time to see a rogue launching itself at me, claws slicing through the air like daggers. I barely get my arm up before it slams into me, knocking me backward onto the blood-slick pavement. The impact steals the breath from my lungs. The rogue is on top of me in seconds, its fangs bared, saliva dripping onto my face. Its breath reeks of death and rot. I shove m

Emilio's POV “They’re everywhere!” I shouted, my voice shaking. My chest burned, my hands clenched into fists. The city was falling apart around us. Flames swallowed buildings, turning them into black, crumbling skeletons. Thick smoke filled the air, choking me, burning my eyes. The streets were broken, cracked, covered in glass and blood. Cars sat abandoned, their windows shattered, doors hanging open. The fight that rukus that Vikram caused is the reason why we had to leave the Vampire world and come out here to make a fight that I doubt we would ever win.And then there were *them*. The rogue vampires. Vikram's evilness, deceit and stupidity.He created them! He brought them and these are his properties.They swarmed the streets like a nightmare come to life. Fast. Wild. Bloodthirsty. Their glowing red eyes cut through the darkness. Their claws tore through anything in their way. The sound of screams, of bones breaking, of bodies hitting the ground filled the air.
