Lucian didn’t hesitate.
Gabriel’s words still echoed in his mind: Blood for blood.
He rolled up his sleeve, revealing the pale skin of his wrist, and with a swift motion, he bit down. Dark, rich blood welled up instantly, thick and glistening under the candlelight. Without a second thought, he pressed it to Elias’ lips.
“Drink,” Lucian murmured. His voice was low, commanding. “Take it, Elias.”
Elias’ lips were barely parted, his breath shallow. For a moment, nothing happened. Then—his body twitched. A weak, involuntary reaction.
Lucian tilted his wrist, letting the blood drip onto his tongue.
Another twitch.
Then—
A violent jerk.
Elias’ eyes flew open, wild and unfocused. A choked sound tore from his throat as his body convulsed.
Lucian’s grip tightened. “Elias—”
The reaction was instant.
Elias wretched. His back arched sharply before blood spewed from his mouth, dark and unnatural. It splattered onto the sheets, his body trembling with raw agony. His fingers clawed weakly at the air as though fighting off an invisible force.
Gabriel took a step back, brows furrowing.
Lucian’s gaze snapped to him. “Explain.”
Gabriel’s expression was unreadable for a long moment. Then, softly—
“This…” He exhaled. “This is not what I expected.”
Lucian’s patience thinned. “What the hell does that mean?”
Gabriel stepped forward again, watching as Elias coughed violently, his body still rejecting Lucian’s blood. The doctor tilted his head slightly, eyes narrowing.
“There should have been balance,” he murmured. “Your blood should have counteracted whatever magic is at play. Yet—” He gestured to the mess of blood and bile. “—this reaction suggests something else is inside him.”
Lucian’s jaw tightened. “Then figure it out.”
Gabriel’s lips curved into the faintest of smirks. “You think I won’t? I live for mysteries, Lucian.” He glanced at Elias again. “But this… this will require research.”
Lucian’s eyes flashed. “Then make it fast.”
Gabriel gave a short, amused bow. “As you command.”
And with that, he turned, vanishing as swiftly as he arrived—his presence dissolving into the shadows.
Lucian barely noticed.
His attention was locked on Elias, whose breathing remained shallow, sweat dampening his skin.
Lucian exhaled slowly, brushing damp strands of hair away from Elias’ forehead.
“What did she do to you?” His voice was almost a whisper.
Elias didn’t respond.
***
Elias was running.
The ground beneath him shifted, an endless, distorted landscape that made no sense. Fog curled around his ankles, thick and suffocating.
And behind him—
She was coming.
A shrill, rage-filled scream echoed through the air.
“Elias!”
His heart pounded. He ran faster, his breath ragged, his muscles burning. The path twisted, coiling in impossible directions. No matter how fast he ran, no matter how far he pushed himself—
He could still hear her.
The unnatural screech of her voice.
The sickening sound of her nails scraping against unseen walls.
The laugh.
Low. Guttural.
Wrong.
“Come back, little lamb…”
Elias’ chest tightened.
No. No, no, no—
He turned a sharp corner, legs screaming in protest, but then—
There she was.
Standing in front of him.
Smiling.
Her face—
A horrid, twisted thing. Eyes hollow, black pits seething with unspoken rage. Her mouth too wide, lips cracked and bleeding. Her fingers elongated into claws, twitching eagerly.
Elias skidded to a halt, terror locking his limbs.
She took a step forward.
Then another.
“Why do you run?” she whispered.
Elias couldn’t move.
His body refused to obey.
She reached for him—
Cold, dead fingers inches from his skin—
“No—!”
And suddenly—
Warmth.
A sensation so foreign, so startling that the entire dreamscape shattered.
The world twisted.
The darkness ripped apart.
And then—
Lucian’s lips.
The nightmare vanished.
Elias gasped, body jolting back to consciousness. His eyes flew open, lungs desperate for air. His chest heaved as he fought to ground himself in reality.
Lucian hovered over him, expression unreadable.
But his lips—
Elias swallowed hard, his mind struggling to process what had just happened.
Lucian pulled back slightly, his gaze sharp. “You were trapped.”
Elias’ breath came out shakily. “I—” He broke off, voice hoarse.
Lucian didn’t move away.
Instead, he reached out, fingers grazing Elias’ cheek—checking, assessing. “You’re ice cold.” His jaw tightened. “Your heartbeat nearly stopped.”
Elias exhaled slowly, still trying to catch up. His fingers twitched, gripping the sheets beneath him.
And then—
He did something he didn’t expect.
He reached for Lucian.
Not in fear.
Not in desperation.
Just—instinctively.
Lucian didn’t pull away.
For a long moment, they just stared at each other.
Finally, Elias swallowed. His voice was weak, but steady.
“She’s angry.”
Lucian’s expression darkened instantly. “She won’t haveyou.”
Elias let out a shaky breath. “I think she already does.”
Lucian’s grip tightened. “Not for long.”
And Elias wanted to believe him.
But deep down—
He wasn’t so sure.

Lucian's Undoing CHAPTER 11
CHAPTER 11Elias had barely moved in a week.Lucian stayed by his side. Always watching. Always waiting.The once vibrant human now lay pale and frail, his body fighting an unseen battle. His breaths were shallow, his fingers barely twitching when Lucian reached out to brush against them.And the worst part?Gabriel had not returned.Lucian clenched his jaw as he wrung out a damp cloth, running it gently over Elias’ forehead. The fever refused to break. His body refused to heal.And Lucian…He was starving.The hunger gnawed at his insides, an ever-present torment that worsened by the day.But he refused.Refused to drink from Elias again.He had already taken too much before.And now, as he looked down at the human—his fragile, shaking form—Lucian felt something foreign.

CHAPTER 1The cold night air burned Elias’s throat as he ran, his breath coming in ragged gasps. The mist curled around the towering trees, swallowing every sound except for the frantic pounding of his heart. His boots sank into the damp earth, each step faltering, yet he refused to stop. He couldn’t. He must not die here.A low growl rumbled behind him. Then another. Then another.His legs ached, his vision blurred from exhaustion, but he forced himself to move faster. The darkness ahead stretched endlessly, offering no sign of safety.A sharp snarl cut through the night, followed by the crunch of twigs. Elias spun around just in time to see glowing eyes emerge from the fog—wolves. Five, maybe six. Their dark pelts blended with the shadows, their movements slow, deliberate. A shuddering breath left his lips as he stumbled backward.“No,” he whispered, raising his hands. “Please... just leave me be.”The largest of them stepped forward, its ears flattening as it bared its teeth. Elias

CHAPTER 2Elias woke with a start, the feel of silk against his skin foreign and alarming. His breath hitched as he sat up, scanning the opulent chamber bathed in soft candlelight. Velvet drapes, golden chandeliers, and a fireplace crackling with warmth—it was nothing like the cold, dirty places he was used to. Panic set in. This wasn’t where he was supposed to be.He looked down, realizing his tattered clothes were gone, replaced by a silk shirt and loose-fitting trousers. Who had done this? His hands clenched the fabric as his mind raced, recalling the chase, the snarling wolves, and then—darkness. He had passed out. Had he been captured?His stomach growled, breaking the silence. Hunger gnawed at him, making his limbs feel weak. As he swung his legs over the bed, the heavy wooden door creaked open. A woman, dressed in a simple but elegant gown, stepped inside, bowing slightly."You are awake. Good. Breakfast is ready," she said, her voice devoid of warmth.Elias swallowed. "Where a

CHAPTER 3By evening, Elias found himself avoiding Lucian, his cheeks burning with shame. He had gotten aroused by a stranger—someone he knew nothing about, someone dangerous. The very thought sent a fresh wave of mortification through him.He clenched his fists, pacing in his room. This was madness. He needed to get away.Determined, he stormed out, finding Lucian lounging in a grand sitting room, a book in one hand and a glass of that thick red liquid in the other.“I want to leave.” Elias’s voice was steady, but his heart pounded.Lucian didn’t even glance up. “No.”Elias gritted his teeth. “You can’t keep me here.”Lucian finally set the book aside and looked at him, amusement flickering in his silver eyes. “Can’t I?”“I have a life—I have places to be,” Elias argued, crossing his arms.Lucian exhaled through his nose, unimpressed. “Really? Where?”Elias flinched but stood his ground. “Anywhere but here.”Lucian leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. “You have no family.

CHAPTER 4Elias woke with a start. His stomach twisted with hunger, a dull ache that wouldn’t let him sleep. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, he slid out of bed, the cool air making him shiver as he padded barefoot toward the door. The corridors were dimly lit by flickering sconces, the soft glow casting shadows on the lavish decor. Everything about this place screamed wealth—an unsettling contrast to the meager existence he once knew.When he reached the grand hall, a maid immediately noticed him. She bowed slightly, her voice soft yet firm. “You’re awake, my lord. Would you like something to eat?”Elias hesitated at the title but nodded. “Yes, please.”She ushered him toward the dining area, where a steaming plate of food was promptly set before him. He ate in silence, sleep still clouding his mind, but the hunger gnawed too viciously to be ignored. When he was done, he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and stood. The house was eerily quiet despite its size. His curiosity p

Lucian didn’t hesitate. As soon as Elias bolted from the room, he followed. He could hear Elias’ ragged breaths even before he reached his chamber. The door was locked, but that was nothing to him. With one sharp movement, he broke it down, stepping inside with slow, deliberate steps.Elias stood near the window, arms wrapped around himself, eyes wild and filled with shame. "Leave, Lucian," he muttered, his voice shaking. "Just go."Lucian’s gaze softened. "Why? Because you did something natural?"Elias turned sharply, his fists clenching. "That wasn’t me! I don’t do things like that—I’ve never—" He swallowed, unable to finish his sentence. His cheeks burned, his body still sensitive from what had just transpired. "I’m cheap."Lucian’s jaw clenched as he took another step forward. "You are not cheap. Stop thinking that way. You’re a man. You have needs." His voice lowered, smooth like silk. "It’s normal."Elias looked at him with hooded eyes, frustration and self-loathing warring insi

CHAPTER 6Elias stirred awake, his body sluggish and uncooperative. A deep, aching soreness weighed on him, spreading from his neck down to his very bones. His mind fogged with half-formed memories, but the undeniable heat still pulsed under his skin. He gritted his teeth. What the hell had happened to him?His fingers drifted to his neck. The wound was already healing, but the moment his fingertips brushed the sensitive skin, a strange shiver rolled down his spine. His thighs clenched involuntarily. He hated this feeling.Elias threw the silk sheets off his body and tried to sit up. The room spun instantly, and his vision blurred at the edges. He let out a sharp breath and steadied himself on the mattress.“No,” he muttered under his breath. “I won’t be some weak little—”The door creaked open.Lucian stood in the doorway, arms crossed, his gaze predatory and far too satisfied for Elias’ liking. He was already dressed in a crisp black shirt, buttoned just enough to show a teasing gli

The way he looked at him, like Elias was something forbidden yet irresistible.Why wasn’t he scared of him?He should be. He should be terrified. Lucian wasn’t human—he was a predator, a creature that fed on blood, and yet… Elias felt no fear. Instead, there was a gnawing curiosity, a pull that made his stomach twist in ways he didn’t understand.I’m not afraid of him at all, Elias thought drowsily, his heavy eyelids finally slipping shut.The next time he woke, the room was bathed in the golden hues of late afternoon. His limbs were still sore, but the dizziness had faded.Beside the bed, a tray of food sat waiting for him.Elias hesitated for a moment, staring at the neatly arranged plate.

CHAPTER 9Elias jolted awake with a gasp, his chest heaving like he had just surfaced from drowning. His body was slick with cold sweat, breath ragged. The room was dimly lit, the heavy curtains blocking out the moonlight, but the oppressive darkness of the dream still clung to him. His hands trembled as he wiped his face, trying to steady himself.Then, the door swung open.Lucian.The vampire strode inside with urgency, his sharp eyes immediately locking onto Elias. His usually composed face was tight with concern, and in his hands was a tray of food. A deep scowl tugged at his lips.“What happened?” His voice was calm, but the underlying tension was unmistakable. “I could hear your heartbeat from the hallway.”Elias swallowed hard, still disoriented. He opened his mouth, then closed it, pressing his fingers against his temples as if trying to force the memory away. But her voice, her eyes—they lingered.“I saw someone,” he finally whispered.Lucian’s expression didn’t change, but h

CHAPTER 8Elias woke up feeling like his body had been wrung out and left to dry in the sun. His limbs were heavy, his head thick with a sluggish haze. The room was dim, but even the soft candlelight made his eyes ache. He swallowed against the dryness in his throat, wincing as he pushed himself up.“Still alive, I see.”Lucian’s voice came from the doorway. Elias turned his head too quickly, and the room tilted. He groaned, pressing a hand to his forehead.Lucian was beside him in an instant, kneeling on the bed as he pressed the back of his hand to Elias’ forehead. His touch was cold—too cold.“You’re burning up,” Lucian muttered, his expression darkening.Elias swatted his hand away, leaning back against the pillows. “It’s just exhaustion. I’m fine.”Lucian didn’t look convinced. He stood and disappeared into the adjoining room, only to return moments later with a tray. A bowl of steaming broth sat in the center, alongside a slice of bread and a cup of tea.Elias blinked at it. “Se
