Nyx's Pov My dagger sank deep into the creature’s back, right along the seam of its twisted flesh. It shrieked, a high, piercing sound that rattled through my skull. Alden’s blade followed immediately after mine, slicing cleanly through the grotesque stitching that held the thing together. The moment the steel severed its spine, the beast convulsed violently before collapsing to the ground in a heap of twitching limbs. A foul, chemical stench filled the hallway, making my stomach churn. “Goddamn.” Vasquez muttered, nudging the corpse with his boot, “I thought that thing was never gonna die.” I staggered, my breathing uneven. My body felt wrong. Too hot. My skin tingled, and a dull ache coiled in my stomach. I groaned, doubling over as the dull ache blew into full force pain. I had no time for this!Alden caught me before I could fall, “Nyx?” His voice was sharp with concern. I shook my head, trying to push past the pain, “I’m fine, it's nothing much but we need to move. More of

Nyx's Pov He screamed, his gun dropping to the floor. I didn’t give him time to recover. I grabbed the back of his head and slammed it against the wall. Blood spattered, and he slid to the ground, unconscious. Helena cursed and shoved Victor into the elevator, slamming the emergency button. The doors started to close.No. I launched myself forward, barely slipping through the gap before they sealed shut.Helena stumbled back, drawing a knife, her breath ragged, “You just won’t die, will you?”I wiped the blood from my cheek and smirked, “Guess I’m just stubborn like that.”Victor coughed, his voice rasping, “You’re too late, Nyx. Even if you kill me, you won’t escape.”I ignored him, my focus locked on Helena. We circled each other, the elevator humming as it ascended. My fingers tightened around my blade. Every nerve in my body screamed at me to finish this. Helena lunged first, quick despite her injuries. I dodged, feeling the knife skim my ribs. Pain flared, but I didn’t stop. I c

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

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 “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

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

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

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 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,
