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

Nyx’s Pov “No! Don't take her, please! Please, I'll pay you! I'll do whatever you want, leave my daughter alone, please!” My mother screamed, the corner of her eyes red with tears. Her face was heavily bruised, purple and black. She had been hit with a plank by the loan sharks who had suddenly come to our house. “If you don't shut your mouth, we'll be forced to do worse to you! However, your daughter… She's really pretty” The one who looked like their leader came forward, his sunken eyes leered at me. I shrunk back, my entire body trembling. “Why… Why are you doing this to us? We… We don't owe you anything, we've never borrowed money from you.” I yelled, my voice shaking. The leader sneered, revealing yellowed teeth as he shifted his weight and leaned in closer. His voice was cold, unfeeling. “You don’t know, do you?” He chuckled darkly, the sound echoing through the small room, “Your dear father owes us more than you can imagine. He borrowed money to feed his gambling habit. Whe

Nyx's Pov “Six Hundred One Thousand Dollars!” “Seven Hundred Thousand!” Bids rang throughout the auction house and the more they spoke, the more I got scared. “Nine Hundred Thousand!” Someone bidded and everyone went silent. My eyes immediately went to who had bidded and my eyes widened. “Nine Hundred Thousand going once… twice…” “N… no. You… You can't give me to him!” I screamed, turning my head to stare at the Auction Master, “You can't give me to him!” I struggled to get up, trying to rush towards him but it was no use. I was held down, pushed to the ground, my knees hitting the ground with a painful thud. With fear and wide eyes, I stared at the fat bellied man with horror coursing through my veins. No, this couldn't be. I can't be given to him!“Going thrice! She has been sold at Nine Hundred Thousand!” A roar of approval erupted from the crowd as the gavel came down with a decisive thud, sealing my fate. My heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest. I clawed a

Nyx's Pov “Who… Who the hell are you?” Gary spat, trying to regain his composure, though the tremor in his voice betrayed him.The man didn’t respond at first, simply raising an eyebrow as he reached into his suit jacket and pulled out a sleek handgun. Gary's courage faltered and was replaced by shock, sweat dripping down his forehead. He swallowed hard, his eyes darting between the stranger and the gun. The man finally spoke, his voice smooth as silk but laced with steel.“You’ve taken something that doesn’t belong to you.” He said, his eyes narrowing as he took a step forward, “And I’m here to collect it.”Gary’s eyes flicked to me, and he sneered, a desperate laugh bubbling up from his throat, “This girl? She’s mine. I bought and paid for her so she's mine!”The stranger’s expression hardened, and without a form of hesitation, he aimed the gun at Gary’s leg and fired. The sound of the shot echoed through the air, and Gary screamed as he crumpled to the ground, clutching his bleedi

Nyx's Pov Alden kept his eyes on the road, and I leaned back slightly, wondering what he had to do with me. He had found me even before I was able to find him. Alden Black Lombardi. A ruthless mafia lord who killed with cruelty and didn't care about anything else other than what he wanted to do. Gary was supposed to lead me to him, but instead, he was killed and I was captured by this guy instead. So, obviously there was going to be a change of plans. The car ride felt endless, the city lights flickering like fleeting memories as they streaked past the windows. Yeah… Memories. They began to resurface in my head. Three years ago, I was captured by a mafia gang and sold to another gang. I was ten at that time, and I had to fight for my life amongst the other girls. Older, more ruthless girls who had been there for a very long time. Some of them had gotten pregnant, some of them had been killed off. The situation I was in was either you survive, or you die. A situation that most of u

Nyx's Pov Helena struck first, her weapon slicing across one man’s throat in a blur of movement. The second man reached for his gun, but I was faster. I lunged at him, driving my blade into his chest. His eyes widened in shock as he crumpled to the floor. The third man tried to run, but Helena threw a knife she snatched from a dead guy, hitting him squarely in the back. He fell face-first, the bottle of whiskey shattering on his face. We armed ourselves quickly, grabbing as many weapons as we could carry. The chaos in the courtyard was our opportunity. Victor was too busy playing the role of executioner to notice us creeping behind the line of guards. “Now.” Helena whispered. We opened fire. The sound of gunshots echoed through the compound, and screams erupted as guards and prisoners alike scrambled for cover. Helena was ruthless, her shots precise and deadly. I wasn’t as skilled, but my anger made up for it. Every pull of the trigger was a release, every fallen guard a

Nyx's Pov “Hm.” Alden hummed lightly, reaching out to hold my wrist. He pulled me closer and then leaned down, wrapping his arms around the curve of my waist and with one strong movement, he pulled me closer to him. I stiffened for a moment, caught off guard by the sudden closeness. His eyes gleamed with something unreadable, but I could see the shift in his demeanor, a man who was never afraid, now calculating his next move.“Play along.” He whispered, so quietly it was barely a breath.Before I could question him, his voice rang out, loud.“Princess…” He said, the word dripping with affection, “You’re far too stubborn for your own good, but I wouldn’t have you any other way.”My eyes widened in realization, I caught on quickly and forced a smile, leaning into his chest.“You think flattery will get you anywhere, darling?” I said, my voice light and teasing, though my heart pounded in my chest.His lips curved into a smirk, his grip tightening around my waist. He was strong, too st

Nyx's Pov “Well… Um…” I stammered, the corner of my lips twitching at the sudden question, “I grew up with that habit. The thing is, as a child, my father owed a lot of debts from gambling and stuff like that. So many times, my mother and I were taken by loan sharks and those my father owed money to. I was able to figure out when someone was coming or hiding to get us despite how quiet they were. It's just an instinct that I grew up with.” Alden's eyes narrowed at me, but he didn't say a word, he still kept that infuriating smile on his lips. “You… Don't believe me?” I questioned softly, almost tearfully in fact, “If you don't believe me, then…” “Who said anything about not believing you, princess? I believe you, really.” Alden cut me off, giving me a closed eye smile that clearly said, ‘No, I don't believe you’. My heart sank. This guy would be hard to deal with… But nevertheless, I already knew that before coming here. I masked my thoughts with a tearful smile, scurrying backwa

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
