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 63 Nyx's Pov“Ugh…” Pain. That was the only thing that I could feel right now. It burned through my veins like some kind of liquid fire, spreading with each agonizing pulse of my heartbeat. My wrists ached from the restraining belts that were biting into my skin, my body trembling violently against the cold metal of the chair. My breath came in ragged gasps, my head lolling forward as I fought to keep consciousness. But the pain, it was so fucking unbearable. A scream ripped from my throat despite my best efforts to hold it in. The sound echoed through the sterile white walls of the lab, a twisted symphony to the torment Helena was inflicting on me. She watched with cold amusement, her fingers curling around the syringe as she injected another dose of the substance into my bloodstream. I clenched my teeth, my muscles seizing as another wave of agony wracked my body. I wanted to fight. I wanted to tear her apart. But right now, I couldn’t even move. Helena tilted her

    Chapter 64Nyx’s Pov My breath was ragged, my muscles screaming as I forced myself toward the door, the two scalpels clutched tightly in my trembling hands. The room spun violently, the drugs still weighing me down like chains wrapped around my limbs. But I couldn’t stop. Wouldn’t stop. I pressed my ear to the door, straining to hear beyond the blood pounding in my skull. The distant wail of alarms still rang through the lab, a stark reminder that Helena’s people were searching for me. I tightened my grip on the scalpels, pushing my exhaustion aside. I needed to move. With a slow, controlled breath, I gritted my teeth and turned the handle. It was unlocked. That was good. The second the door cracked open, I slipped through, keeping my steps light despite my body’s protests. The hallway was dim, lined with flickering emergency lights that cast eerie shadows across the sterile white walls. The metallic scent of blood and chemicals thickened the air. I kept close to the

    Chapter 65Nyx’s PovThe beast snarled, its massive body coiling like a spring, muscles flexing as it prepared to lunge again. My arms ached, my vision swam, and the weight of exhaustion dragged at my limbs, but I couldn’t stop now or else I would die. I adjusted my grip on the steel bar, my breaths shallow but controlled. This thing was fast, but that was the only advantage it had. Its movements were the same, lunge, attack, lunge, attack. It only moved along that pattern which meant that it had no intelligence. Having no intelligence in combat? It means you are bound to lose. The creature lunged and this time, I didn’t dodge, I met it head-on. I ducked low, twisting at the last second so its massive claws barely grazed past my shoulder. With all my strength, I drove the steel bar upward, slamming it beneath its jaw. The force sent a sickening crack through the air as its head snapped back, its fangs clicking together with brutal force. It staggered. I didn’t let it recover. I

    Chapter 66 Nyx's Pov “J… Julia? But you died years ago, what are you… How the heck are you…” I covered my face with my palms, groaning. Things were coming to me faster than I expected them to come. But Julia only laughed, shrugging as she beckoned me closer, “Come.” I stood still though, and didn't move. Who knew what she wanted to do, right now she was my enemy. “Always so distrustful, you haven't changed Nyx.” Julia shook her head as she stepped closer to me. “How could I? If I had trusted with all my heart, wouldn't I have died out of Helena’s betrayal. My inability to trust fully has made me survive until this day.” I answered. Julia had no combat abilities so it would have been easy taking care of her, however, who knows what they had modified in her? Did she take the substance as well? Julia sighed, looking at one of the tubes and placing her hand on the glass, “Actually, I was forced to work here. You should remember that I was stabbed by one of the guards while you and

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
