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

Chapter 67 Alden’s Pov Ten Hours Ago“Wait! Where are you taking me to? I don't want to die! I don't want to die!” Darius screamed as he was brought into the house, blindfolded. His yells reverberated along the corridors, making me frown. “Shut your mouth. You're angering me, Darius.” I warned, my voice cold. I had no time for this. “A… Alden? Is that you?” He questioned shakily. I gestured for the blindfold to be taken off of him. Darius met my gaze and with a sigh of relief, slumped on the chair. “I thought I was done for, so it was only you.” “I need you to make some bombs for you. Or better still, if you have a stash, hand it over to me.” Darius blinked, his body stiffening, "Bombs?" He let out a nervous chuckle, "Alden, you know that's not something I can just whip up in a few hours. It takes time, resources. As for a stash of bombs, I don't have one.”I slammed my knife into the wooden table between us, the force rattling the tools that were laid out. Darius flinched, hi

Nyx's Pov I twisted the blade into the stomach of the man in my arms, then I moved back, removing it and stabbing him in the heart once more. The man slid off of me, lying lifeless on the ground along with the other men. I sighed, cleaning my blade and then staring at the air vent on top of me. It was thick enough to carry my weight, right? But the moment I moved, the ground rumbled as the echo of something blowing up sounded through the earth. I looked back, frowning. Who the heck was blowing up something? Sighing, I made my way up a vent, sighing when I was finally able to climb. I stopped there, pulling out the map that Julia had given me. “Right now, I'm at Area A of the laboratory.” I murmured to myself, if I was going to get a shortcut to where Victor was, I had to pass through this place. However… “Be careful when you pass through Area A, the person guarding is very cruel. He's a predator, he won't hesitate to kill you.” Her warning rang in my ears. “Well, I was bound to f

Nyx's Pov “Phew. That was a long fight.” I panted, sitting on the floor, my back against the wall and my legs spread outwards. My waist hurts so badly and it felt like my ribs were about to pop out of place, my vision was swimming as well, black spots filling it. If someone was to come right now, it might take only one move for them to’ kill me. However, standing up isn't an option for me, I was too tired to even move. But it seemed like the universe really hated me because about three seconds later, I heard footsteps, heavy footsteps which were coming towards me. I froze, my eyes instantly darting to the body at the door side, the corner of my lips twitching. If they saw the body, then they would know that someone had passed by and killed their people. I could barely move so what the heck am I going to do? I clenched the dagger in my hand, clenching it so tightly that my knuckles were beginning to turn white. My only option was to stand up and fight if they came too near. And by th

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
