Nyx's Pov I took deep breaths because everything in my was trying not to break his wrist. My fingers twitched, aching to dig into my hidden blade and make him regret everything. But then, I let my body relax, my lips curling into a slow, seductive smirk. I already knew how I was going to rob him blind. Damien thought he had the upper hand, the poor fool. His fingers traced lazy patterns along my side, his touch confident, predatory. But he had no idea he was the prey. I let out a soft, pleased hum, tilting my head as if enjoying his touch, "Mmm… A man like you must have a fortress of a safe, no?” He chuckled, his other hand reaching for his drink. “Smart girl. But even smart girls don’t get to know all my secrets.” I pouted, shifting in my seat so my thigh brushed against his, “Not even when they ask nicely?” His gaze darkened, hunger gleaming in his beady little eyes, “Depends on how nicely you ask.” Jackpot. I leaned in, ghosting my lips over the shell of his ear, “Yo

Nyx's Pov "So... when did you find out what I was trying to do? From the start?" I crossed my arms, putting the suitcase in between my foot and cracking my knuckles. Damien chuckled, his eyes raking all over my body, I was not able to stop the disgusted shiver that passed through my body. Ugh... I needed Alden to take away this disgusting feeling away. "Well... You were feeding me enought alcohol, that means that you wanted something and I have to admit, you are a very good actress. I wasn't even able to realise it fully until you took the money and when I became sober. Thankfully, I'm the kind of person who doesn't get drunk for long due to the amount of alcohol I used to take. It just some kind of temporary thing." Damien explained and I nodded. "Ah... I wasn't told about your super-power. It can actually be called that, right? However, do you actually think that you can stop me from leaving here today?" I stared squarely at him, the corner of my lips pulling into a smirk. "Of

Nyx's Pov Helene smiled, her eyes glinting with something dangerously close to amusement, "Oh, Nyx. You still don’t get it, do you?"I rolled my shoulders, preparing myself for whatever bullshit was about to come out of her mouth, "Enlighten me, then."She sighed dramatically, as if she was about to tell me a heartbreaking tale, when in reality, I knew it would be nothing but selfish greed wrapped in a sob story."You see, after we escaped, I had this… revelation. We spent so much time hating Victor, running from him, dreaming about taking him down. But then I realized something: power is power, no matter who wields it. And I wanted some of it for myself."I narrowed my eyes, "So you went back? To him? To that monster?"Helene laughed, flipping her hair over her shoulder, "Victor was a monster, sure. But he was a powerful one. And when we left, do you know what I had, Nyx? Nothing. No money. No home. No security. And you..." She pointed a perfectly manicured finger at me "You were so

Nyx's Pov I looked around, my lips twitching at the amount of damage that Helena's bomb had caused. That Damien wasn't going to be happy about this at all. But I shrugged, it's none of my business anyways, I was barely able to keep myself alive with that giant monstrosity chasing after me. I glanced at it's melting body on the ground and shivered. "So disgusting." I muttered under my breath and left, limping all the way outside. The moment I stepped outside, my eyes caught Alden's and his eyes widened when he saw me. "Nyx... What the fuck happened to you?" "Helena happened. But before you start asking questions, can you help me clean up? I think I broke my foot and a few of my ribs. It hurts so badly." Alden was already moving before I finished speaking. His hands were on me in an instant, gripping my arm to steady me as I leaned against him."Shit, Nyx. You look like you got thrown off a cliff." His voice was tight, edged with concern, as he carefully maneuvered me toward his

Alden's Pov "How is she?" I asked.A few hours after Nyx was taken by the doctor, one of them finally came out. From the corner of my eyes, I saw blood on his cheeks and my eyes narrowed. She must have been wounded more badly than what I had seen. "Well... She'll survive. Was she hit by a truck and then thrown over a bridge? Because I can't fathom how a little lady like that could have such wounds on her body. Six of her ribs are fractured, two of them dangerously close to puncturing her lung. Her right foot is broken in three places, and she has deep lacerations along her arms and legs. Not to mention the concussion and the internal bruising, we had to drain some blood from her lungs to keep her from suffocating.” I clenched my fists, my jaw tightening as I processed the doctor’s words. What the hell did she even fight in there? She mentioned an experiment but with Nyx's prowess in fighting, a normal sized human shouldn't be able to beat her up this much... She did say it was mor

Author's Pov "Fuck." Helena cursed as she finishes tying the bandage around her still throbbing eye... Or rather, eye socket. It was still bleeding and no matter what she didn't, it seemed like the bleeding didn't want to stop. "Fuck! Fuck that bitch!" She slammed her hands on the table, veins popping on her forehead. Helena knew that Nyx was a beast in terms of fighting but she didn't think that Nyx would have been able to beat a genetically modified human who was as huge as a giant nor would she have been able to find it's wean point. To be truthful, Helena had not thought that the stitches would be a weak point for the experiment. "If you keep on frowning like that, you are going to burst a blood vessel and start bleeding all over again." A male voice sounded which made Helena turn around instantly, then promptly hissed from the pain. There was a man leaning on the doorway, crossing his arms. He has chestnut brown hair with hazel coloured eyes, he looked like a teddy that could

Nyx's Pov "The bombs were made with a very old king of technology that can only be found in the suburbs. We will have to complete the istopic and detonator analysis to know exactly where the materials came from and perhaps, we will be able to track just where the bombs came from." "Throw in digital forensics too. If the bomb contains some sort of embedded electronics, you might be able to extract digital evidence from it." Alden murmured. Vasquez nodded, writing down what Alden had said. When he finished, he bowed his head a bit and left. I stared at him, not saying a word. Before I was discharged, Alden had sent people to scourge the Damien's compound to see if we could find anything that could lead us to Victor, after all, we couldn't keep on waiting for him to come to us. Now that I was injured, Helena was bound to be making plans to capture me, I would like to know where Victor was before that happened. And fortunately, Alden's men were able to find a non detonated bomb lying a

Nyx's Pov If Renata’s fingerprints were on that bomb… then that meant either she had survived the attack. Or someone had kept her body for something far worse."But that's not possible." I murmured, making Alden turn his attention to me, "You asked Vasquez to take care of her body and knowing what you meant, I assume you didn't bury her?" "No, nothing like that." Vasquez answered, shaking his head, which meant they must have completely destroyed the body. "So how come her DNA prints were found on the bomb if she's dead? Don't you think she might have been involved in the bomb making even before she died? And that's why her fingerprints are there? Or maybe there's someone else in this world that has the same set of fingerprints that Renata has. It's a one in like ten million chances but it doesn't mean that it's impossible." Alden didn’t respond immediately. He was deep in thought, his fingers drumming against the armrest of his chair. Vasquez shifted uncomfortably, glancing betwee

Chapter 81 Nyx's Pov I twirled the darkened spoon in my hand, staring at the food in front of me. This was the fourth time since I got to Alden's mansion that I had been poisoned. Although I am immune to a lot of poisons due to my immune system and the nature of my job, I'm not in any form of danger. However, if was getting annoying. “No! No! Please spare me! I beg you! I was asked to do this by someone! Spare me!” The muffled screams echoed faintly through the corridor, breaking through the quiet hum of the night. I stilled, my fingers tightening around the spoon as I listened carefully. The voice was coming from below. Setting my spoon down, I pushed back my chair and rose to my feet. The guards at the entrance to the dining hall remained still, but I could feel their eyes tracking my every movement as I followed the sound. Each step I took down the dimly lit hallway only made the desperate pleas clearer.I reached a dead end. Or so it seemed. My fingers trailed over the wall be

Chapter 80 Author's Pov “Miss, the master is asking for you. He's in the sitting room.” A maid stood outside the door, her voice filtering into the room. The woman inside sighed and stood up from her bed, her narrowed grey eyes staring at her reflection in the mirror. After a few seconds, she walked towards the door and opened it abruptly, startling the maid who stood outside. “M… Miss…” “Why is he asking for me? Did something happen?” She questioned, her voice soft but anyone could hear the malice oozing out of her voice, “Answer.” The maid flinched, “W… Well, I overheard him saying something about welcoming a new member of the clan soon. I think he wants to talk to you about that.” “We are having an additional member soon?” She muttered under her breath, “Who are they? The person we are going to be welcoming soon?” “I… I don't know. I just heard him saying that to Mister Carmen.” “Anything else?”“Um… Oh, it's a woman. The person that's coming is a woman, I think they said s

Nyx's Pov “Mistress?” I crossed my arms, glancing between the two of them, "Why the hell are you calling me that?"Gertitude opened her mouth to answer, but before a single word could leave her lips, Alden moved. It was quick, too quick. One moment he was standing beside me, and the next, he had gripped my wrist and pushed me through the massive double doors of the mansion."Alden!" I started, but he cut me off with a sharp glance."Later.” He murmured, his voice low but firm, “You can talk to them later.” Confused but not wanting to make a scene, I let it go, for now. Instead, as I stepped inside, all my previous thoughts vanished. My jaw nearly dropped at the sheer grandeur of the interior.The place was magnificent."Ooooh." I breathed, my eyes drinking in the towering marble columns, the golden chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, and the rich mahogany floors that stretched endlessly. The entire mansion radiated power, wealth, everything that I liked. I spun in a slow circle,

Nyx's Pov “Woah. This city is huge.” I stared at the huge towers in the sky, and the car that sped past us. “I thought you had been to the capital previously.” Alden murmured as he stood behind me, leaving forward so his head was resting on my shoulders. Liam stood beside me, holding my hand with his little box in tow. It had been quite a few months and Liam already looked so well fed, he was getting taller as well. But regarding what Alden said about him… I narrowed my eyes, time would tell who Liam really was. “Well, it's not like I would stand to admire the entire place while I was on a mission.” I huffed, using my elbow to push Alden off my body, “Anyways, why are you being so touchy nowadays? It's weird.” “I've always been touchy Nyx, physical touch is my love language.” Alden winked at me and I shivered. “Weird, you're definitely drunk on something.” I shook my head, shifting away from him. Alden let out a low chuckle, unbothered by my glare, “Drunk on you, maybe.”I groan

Chapter 77 Nyx's Pov “So we are heading over to the capital?”“Yes.” Alden’s voice was calm but firm. He leaned back against the couch, his gaze sharp as he studied me, “We've received news that some people are probing for your identity. It could be the Capriennes. Rather than letting them catch us off guard, it's better to be prepared and go to the capital ourselves.”I crossed my arms, “And just walk straight into their territory?”Alden smirked, “What, scared?”I rolled my eyes, “Hardly. But you of all people should know walking into enemy territory without a plan is suicide.”His smirk widened, his emerald-green eyes twinkling with amusement, “Who said we don’t have a plan?”That made me pause. Of course, Alden always had a plan.I let out a slow breath, trying to suppress the ache still lingering in my ribs. Though I had mostly recovered, I wasn’t at full strength yet. Alden noticed my discomfort instantly. He always did.Without a word, he reached for me, his warm hand resting

Author's Pov “Sir Ethan, the laboratory has been destroyed.” A man dressed in black bowed as he entered the room, placing a folder on the table. The man that was seated picked the folder up, opening up and staring at the pictures inside. “It was blown up?” “Yes. There's nothing left of that place other than rubbles, it seems like the bombs were placed from inside itself, in specific locations so there would be nothing left.” “Hm… Do you know who did this? Victor must have offended someone for them to not only kill him in such a brutal manner but blow up everything in there.” The man questioned. “Yes. We were able to catch a glimpse of the people who blew them up using the hidden drones. It was Alden Black Lombardi…” “Alden? He has no business with Victor if I can remember, they barely know each other. So there's no reason for him to do something like this.” “Actually… There was someone else who was spotted with him and we were just able to identify who the person was.” Ethan r

Nyx's Pov “So I'm much stronger now?” I asked with excitement. “It seems so. Although the drugs did not modify your body the way Victor wanted it to, it still caused some changes but now that you're awake, we need to run you some tests.” Alden said, he placed his hands on my waist, helping me stand up. Slowly, I got up from the bed, my legs were shaky and a part of my ribs still hurt, I hadn't finished healing yet. Also, I seemed to be forgetting someone… Oh! “Alden, what about that little guy, Liam?” I questioned as we walked outside. Alden shrugged, “He is in his room, he doesn't know you're awake yet, he normally comes to your room everyday to check up on you, it seems he is attached to you already.” “Oh. Have you been able to find out anything about him? Or who his parents are?” “I barely have the time to take care of you, Nyx. But still, I can't help but think that guy has a motive for coming with you, he seems odd. Too odd.” “Odd? How?” “When your eyes are healed, you'l

Nyx's Pov I chuckled, “But no… You just had to show yourself to me because you wanted to experiment on me. Such a pity, that your plan backfired on you. Well, it's already night time for you, Victor. It's time to go to sleep.” I picked up a random object from the ground and spun it in my palms. It was a metal rod, but it was sharp enough to impale someone. I stalked towards him, kneeling right beside his head. I raised my hands up with the rod on it and with a smile on my face, “Goodbye Victor, I hope you rot in hell.” And then brought the rod into Victor's chest. Blood instantly pooled around his body and just in case I had missed any vital points, I took out the rod and plunged it into his neck multiple times until his neck was literally separated from his shoulders. Sighing, I shifted away from the bloody puddle and leaned on the wall, breathing heavily. The sound of rapid footsteps pounded through the corridor. My head lolled to the side just as Alden burst into the room, his sh

Nyx's Pov “Hahaha.” I chuckled amidst the pain, “You should have known that Helena would never be able to win against me. I even gave her a chance to kill me since I was weak, but she still wasn't able to. That says a lot about her and you as well. But let me tell you something, your plan would not work. Whatever you think I will help you do, I won't do it at all!” Victor chuckled, shaking his head, “Oh, my dear Nyx, you have no idea, do you? But don’t worry…” His fingers trailed along the side of the bed, tapping against the cold metal, “By the time this transformation is complete, you will understand exactly what you were meant to be.”The word transformation sent a chill through me, even through the overwhelming fire of my changing body. I gasped, my vision flickering as my bones snapped again, shifting into something other. My nails dug into my palms, but something was wrong. They weren’t just nails anymore, they were beginning to grow longer. My heartbeat pounded in my ears. M
