Nyx's Pov "Close your eyes if you have to, and try again.”He swallowed thickly, his body tensing, but he did as I said. He inhaled deeply, then another breath, slower this time. His fingers twitched slightly against his knee as his brows furrowed in concentration. For a moment, it seemed like he was going to come up empty again. But then, his expression changed. His eyes snapped open, and he exhaled sharply.“O... oh yeah... There was… a smell." He admitted, “It stuck to me the whole damn time we were on the move to their hideout.”I leaned forward slightly, “What kind of smell?”He hesitated, struggling to describe it, “It was… sharp. Strong. Like metal, but not just any metal. It had a burnt quality to it, like rust mixed with something chemical. It was in the air, and it clung to my clothes.”I exchanged a look with Alden and Vasquez. That wasn’t just any smell. That was industrial.“Sounds like a factory or a scrapyard." Vasquez mused.“Or an abandoned warehouse near an old rail

Nyx's Pov "Finally, I can breathe." I took in a long deep breath as I hid in the corner, away from Alden's eyes. That man had literally locked me in the room while he went out with Vasquez to do God knows what. "What a crazy man, why he acting like he's my husband?" I complained, pushing myself off the wall and walking away from the hotel itself. The night air was cool against my skin as I strolled through the dimly lit streets, the faint hum of the city filling the silence. I wasn’t planning on going far, just enough to clear my head. Alden and Vasquez could handle themselves. I wasn’t some fragile thing that needed locking away.But then, I felt it, a presence. Or rather, presences, there were a lot of them, maybe not a lot but like four or five people. Scratch that, they were four. They were subtle at first, but they were not unnoticeable. I kept walking, not wanting to alert them that I knew the were there, I kept my pace even, but my fingers twitched near the blade strapped to

Nyx's Pov "So, what are you going to do about him?" Alden pointed to the boy on the bed... Liam or whatever his name was. "What am I going to do? We've paid for his treatment so what next? He was the one who came out while we were fighting so..." I crossed my arms, not willing to look at him. I didn't want to admit it but I felt quite guilty of what I did to him. Even if it was an accident. I had killed a lot of people but I never touched children. Never. "You have to take care of me." The boys suddenly said and I whipped my head towards him. "What? Ha, you must be joking with me right now." I narrowed my eyes at the boy. Liam sat up, his injured arm wrapped in fresh bandages, and stared at me with those ridiculously big, pleading eyes, “You have to take care of me." He repeated, his voice calm but firm.I scoffed, "Yeah, no. That’s not happening.” I turned to Alden, “He’s awake, he’s talking, he’s not dying, our job here is done.”Alden pinched the bridge of his nose, clearly ex

Chapter 58 Nyx's Pov “Mhm… I don't feel any pain around here anymore. I heal quite fast if I must say.” I muttered to myself, “Almost like a mutant.” A whole three weeks had passed since I got injured, and the wounds had mostly healed, but I still felt them in the back of my mind, an itch beneath the surface, a reminder that I’d let my guard down. Not that the grotesque appearance of that experiment didn't continue to haunt me in my dreams but hey, if you saw something like that, it would give you trauma for life. And I'm pretty sure Victor has more like that in store. I seriously didn't want to face them but with how things were going, it was unlikely. Not to talk about the fact that I had barely seen Liam in the past few days, not because he wasn’t looking for me, but because I had been avoiding him. The boy was literally stuck to me at the hip, always trying to to follow me everywhere I went and sometimes he even acted like a creep. Sitting outside the bathroom waiting for me t

Chapter 59 Nyx's Pov I frowned, crossing my arms, “What do you mean, something doesn’t feel right?” The hideout was literally in front of us and something didn't feel right? Vasquez was someone who had great intuition so if he said something didn't feel right, then it really didn't. Vasquez tapped a few keys, zooming in on the footage, “Look at this.” The camera feed displayed the lab from different angles, showing its pristine condition. Too pristine. The equipment was untouched, the floors spotless, there wasn’t even a layer of dust. The place wasn't somewhere that one could suspect a hideout of being in. “This location.” Vasquez continued, “We might have found it out ourselves but it doesn't seem like it. To me, it feels like the location was purposely leaked to us in order to lure us there.”My eyes narrowed, “What?” Alden crossed his arms beside me, “Think about it. Victor has been moving in the shadows for years, keeping his experiments hidden. We’ve barely been able to

Chapter 60Nyx's PovA notification pinged on Vasquez’s laptop after a few minutes of waiting and we all turned toward the screen. Vasquez frowned, quickly navigating through the system, “It’s a file transfer… encrypted. But it’s coming from our recon team. It looks like something that was sent under duress, it's not properly done.” A chill ran down my spine. A file sent under duress? That could only mean one thing; that something had gone wrong. I moved closer, my heart pounding, “Open it, let's see what's going on.” Vasquez tapped a few keys, and the video file loaded. The screen flickered to life, showing the inside of the facility. The footage was grainy, but the images were clear enough, the leader and his men moving cautiously through the corridors, the starving prisoners behind rusted bars, the dim flicker of overhead lights… Then the footage turned chaotic. Darkness. Screams. The flash of gunfire. “It’s a trap. We walked right into it. They're not human, I repeat,

Chapter 61Nyx's Pov“What the hell are you helping Victor do, Helena? Are you crazy?!” “Well, I'm a researcher, always wanted to be one and I finally got the chance to do what I wanted, why are you blaming me?” Helena lifted a hand, inspecting her nails casually, “But enough chit-chat, Nyx. Come with me, or everyone in this house dies. Including this little guy here.” She nudged Liam’s side with her boot, making him groan. I clenched my fists so tightly my nails dug into my palms. Every fiber of my being screamed at me to kill her where she stood, to tear her apart before she could hurt anyone else. But I forced myself to breathe, to think. She wasn’t bluffing. If she’d already wiped out Alden’s guards, she could just as easily do the same to everyone else. Especially with the kind of people Alden said she brought, they must be like zombies. I couldn't help the shiver that went through my skin, if there were people like that… I didn't even want to think about what could come nex

Chapter 62Alden’s Pov A sharp gasp tore from my throat as I jolted awake, my body drenched in sweat. My head throbbed with a deep, pulsing ache, my limbs heavy as if I'd been drugged. The room swayed for a moment before my vision adjusted, the dim lighting casting long shadows against the walls. I looked around, memories coming into my head. Nyx! Where the heck was she?! Trying to stand up, I groaned as I felt dizzy for a second, how the hell did I get unconscious? When I was finally able to stand, I made my way to the door and was about to open it, but was blocked by Vasquez who came in. “Sir.” He greeted. Vasquez had one of his arms bandaged, his torso as well. His face was pale. "Where is she? Nyx?" My voice came out hoarse, barely above a growl. Vasquez exhaled shakily, his jaw tightening, “She’s gone.” The words hit like a gunshot to my chest. A cold wave of fury surged through my veins, drowning out the remnants of my exhaustion. “What the hell do you mean she’s gone

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
