I never expected Alice to live in a place like this. The apartment looks old and... uncared for. We even had to take the regular stairs since the building's old elevator is broken. Yet I pay her thousands of dollars for her services every time I need saving, I thought while following her up to the 5th floor.

"You know... my apartment is safer than this place," I said again as Alice opened the door with a regular key.

"Your apartment is too flashy," she replied shortly.

Even though I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on my apartment and its security system. I half-heartedly followed Alice into her apartment.

Its simple and neutral interior really suits the owner's personality.

The dull white walls were adorned with a few flower paintings, and the only striking color in the room was the fuchsia sofa in the middle.

And it seemed like Alice didn't have a TV, but rather several large bookshelves covering part of the walls. On one side of the room, a desk with a sophisticated computer

    Night had fallen when we left his apartment building. Riding in his Prius, we followed the GPS indicating Erik's current location. I recognized the area; the abandoned factory had been in dispute for the past eight years and I knew it because Crossfire Inc. had considered buying it a few years ago. It started to rain as we neared our destination, and Alice had been silent since we left, making the atmosphere awkward. Especially when I remembered the incident half an hour ago..."You have to turn right at the next intersection," I murmured beside her. She just nodded slightly in response."So, who is Erik?" I asked to start a conversation."Someone," she replied curtly."He's not your boyfriend, nor your family. So, is he your friend?" I bombarded her to push her.Alice smiled thinly at my question. "I don't have friends," she uttered."Is Erik also at the same place as me?"My question made her glance at me for a split second."The same place?""Not your boyfriend, family, or friend,"

    The black-eyed man shouted in Russian, a long string of curses that I didn't understand. Alice responded with a calm and...bored expression. Only she could maintain such a demeanor in the midst of this situation."Where is Eirik?" Alice calmly asked, ignoring the black-eyed man's profanity."He's with Carleon!" the black-eyed man replied with a heavy Russian accent."So Carleon is really here," Alice muttered, her previously calm expression fading into a cold one. "For what?" she continued slowly."Not for you," the black-eyed man replied before spitting to the side.Alice raised her katana towards the man, blood still dripping from the tip."If that's the case, then for whom?"The black-eyed man looked at her with full of hatred, making me shiver a bit. "For him," he replied, pointing at me without looking at me, his gaze still fixed on Alice.Eh? So he had known about me from the beginning. How pathetic."And for Shaw," he added suddenly."...so Gregory," Alice's words were inaudibl

    I don't know how long I've been lying on the dirty floor of this warehouse. The faint smell of oil and blood still lingers in the air. I slowly open my eyes as my breathing returns to normal, although my entire body still feels weak.Alice is sitting on an old table not far from where I'm lying. She's watching me, propping her chin up with one hand."How long was I asleep?" I ask, feeling a little confused. I seem to remember hearing Nicholas Shaw's voice, but it was only faintly. I try to sit up, looking around the warehouse. There's no one here but us.What I saw and felt before now feels like a dream. I turn to Alice again. "What happened to me just now?" I ask, still puzzled."You licked my blood," Alice says shortly. My forehead furrows when I hear that. I do remember licking a little bit of blood from her lips...Alice gets down from the table she's been sitting on and walks over to me, holding out her hand to help me stand up. I feel dizzy as I get up next to her, like I've jus

    "What?" I repeated in disbelief, looking at my half-naked body and then back at her. So, she took off my clothes last night not just to have them laundered? But for insurance so I couldn't leave?I shook my head in confusion as I looked at her beautiful face, now smiling, really smiling, not just pulling one corner of her lips like before."Did you just confess that you're kidnapping me right now?" I asked, turning on my phone. Fortunately, this was still the weekend so there weren't many messages coming in. I looked up from the screen, pulling one of my eyebrows at Alice, who still hadn't answered my previous question.But Alice's gaze was fixed on my body, specifically on the wounds on my chest and stomach. Her smile had faded and was replaced with an expression I had never seen on her before...A sad expression.I placed my phone on the small table next to the bed, then knelt beside her. Alice was already sitting on the bed, white sheets covering part of her body."What's wrong?" I

    I desperately wanted to strip off the clothes separating our skin right now and bury myself deep inside her. But at the same time, I also wanted to make her orgasm once before we continued."Alice -" My words were cut off as she suddenly opened her eyes again and knelt beside me to remove her already wet panties. I took this opportunity to remove my boxer briefs and toss them on the floor. Before I could turn to her, Alice was back straddling me, her movements both swift and graceful in my eyes.I couldn't take my gaze off the patch of golden hair between her legs. It turned out her hair color was natural and not the result of hair dye. Her feminine body scent was only adding to my arousal, making me feel tortured.Alice lowered her head to kiss me, her hair draping over us like a curtain. My lower body felt slightly wet because that's where she was sitting at the moment. My long and hard erection was almost touching her sensitive area right now.Because I couldn't hold myself back a

    We had just left the JW Marriott hotel a few minutes ago. Alice was driving her Prius without speaking, and I didn't know where she was taking me today. Since it was still Sunday, I didn't have any obligation to go to work.After last night's... or rather, this morning's incident, because at three in the morning it couldn't be called night anymore, we didn't talk much anymore. When I told her I didn't use a condom, Alice only laughed a little but her laugh sounded cold.I had never felt so stupid in my life. It was the first time I had not used a condom, even though I usually was careful in relationships.What if Alice was pregnant?Imagining that already made my stomach feel like it was punched, but even so, imagining Alice carrying my child didn't feel too bad... And our bodies were very compatible, as evidenced by last night when I forgot-I squeezed my eyes shut to hold back from imagining last night's events again. I must be crazy. Luke Lancaster was already insane.Without reali

    My heart was pounding harder behind my chest as my gaze fixed on those fangs again. Alice and Erik were still observing my response. Erik looked a bit worried, while Alice looked at me with a curious expression.I swallowed my saliva to moisten my dry throat, it seemed like I was starting to feel thirsty. I needed a few seconds more to master the shock and a little bit of fear that slipped in. "How can you do that? With plastic surgery?" I asked with the most normal tone I could muster.Alice pulled one corner of her mouth to form a crooked smile that made her look more charming. "Erik's teeth are all real," she replied with an admiring tone. "Although I've been waiting to see your scared expression, Mr. Lancaster."I chuckled dryly. "Then, next time I won't hesitate to pretend to be scared so you won't be curious anymore."Alice smiled then asked Erik to spy on Carleon again, whoever that Carleon was. In a matter of seconds, the two fangs in her mouth had returned to their original t

    "For you."Her answer made me stunned but I tried to control myself and continued to park her car in the basement. When I turned off the engine, I turned in my seat to look at her sitting next to me."For me?" I repeated, still not understanding. I gazed at her long, thick lashes, momentarily distracted by her face. Again."They think you're someone valuable to me," she whispered in the darkness. Although it was afternoon, the basement parking lot was dark enough. A strong desire to kiss her suddenly arose within me.This woman was truly dangerous for me and my sanity. I could never think clearly when I was near her. Alice showed no expression, but her eyes that were watching me seemed interested when I tried to control myself, holding back my desire to pull her head then kiss her deeply until we both ran out of breath."Is their assumption correct?" I asked, whispering too. "Am I currently valuable to you?"The corner of her mouth twitched into a faint smile. My gaze returned to her

    My body shivered with desire at the sound of Nick's sharp voice. He grabbed my hair and pulled me back onto the bed, facing him again.His blue eyes gleamed with lust, but I'm sure my own eyes looked just as desperate.One of his hands gripped my shirt. "I'm sorry if I ruin your clothes, Eleanor," he murmured, his voice strained. I wanted to laugh, my husband was still apologizing in a situation like this. The ticklish feeling disappeared quickly as he pulled off my shirt, scattering it around me.He undressed me until I was left in just my bra and panties. His satisfied gaze on my body only fueled the fire within me. The air in the room felt thin. No matter how hard my lungs worked, I couldn't breathe normally.He lowered his face and kissed me passionately, while one hand slipped around to my back to unhook my bra. In an instant, my bra was thrown to the corner of the room, and his warm, large hands cupped my breasts.The sensation of his touch sent waves of pleasure throughout my b

    I'm not sure how much time has passed. After our last conversation, Dostov said he would check on Lana and the others downstairs because he was afraid the blood cleansing process wasn't finished, so he asked me to wait in his apartment.Our previous conversation kept repeating in my head. But no matter how frustrated and worried I am now, in the end, Dostov's words are the ones that prevail in my mind. I can't change the future, even if I were to know it. All I can do is hope and pray that what Dostov saw won't happen in the future.Suddenly, the door to Dostov's apartment opens again. But it's Nick's face that appears behind it. I stand up to greet him, but both of us freeze upon realizing something. His previously warm gaze turns cold instantly. "Eleanor... Why do I smell Alastair's blood on you?" he asks as he takes a step closer to me.Damn, I forgot about Alastair's blood."Nick, I didn't realize the blood I drank was Alastair's," I explain, stepping back to distance myself from

    They stared at each other for a few minutes, silently."Whose blood is it?" I asked, hoping to hear his answer.He grimaced again. "Nicholas will be later. But right now, there's nothing more effective than Volder Ella's blood."I couldn't help but feel familiar with that scent, my body already recognizing it without Dostov confirming it. Nicholas will definitely be furious later. "Ugh, Dostov," I grumbled, closing my eyes in frustration."Don't worry, he won't be mad at you. Plus, by tonight, Alastair's scent on you will fade away... with Nicholas." He sighed and shifted his gaze to the bookshelf in the room.I glared at him and sighed. His intention was good, to free me from the torment of blood lust as soon as possible, but I was still annoyed because he didn't warn me earlier. "Are you better now? Do you want blood again?" I replied curtly."Not blood again, just another blood. Not Alastair's blood," he mumbled, still looking slightly guilty with his college kid face. The frustrat

    Carleon's anger and terror were evident as he whispered in disbelief, "No, Dostov, you promised me!" He tried to stand up, but Nick pushed him back down with his foot, causing him to fall by Dostov's feet again. "Carleon, consider this as you redeeming yourself for your sins all this time," Dostov said calmly. "Isn't now the right time to make amends for everything?" He whispered softly, looking down at the side of his foot. "Vlad will retaliate against you!" Carleon shouted in anger. Dostov stared at him expressionlessly. "Haven't you realized yet? Vlad has abandoned you. He knows about your plan to form your own clan. Isn't that why you were looking for the newborn Valkyrie? To gather power and break free from Vlad?" "No..." Carleon shook his head. "Dostov... You've set me up." His voice sounded shocked and trembling. Nick, who had been observing Carleon, now looked up in surprise at Dostov. "Nicholas, you should take him away. Gregory and Lana must be waiting," Dostov continue

    I didn't have time to see what happened next because Volder pulled me and slammed me onto the carpet, causing my back to hit the floor hard. I quickly rolled to the side to avoid his black hands and long nails that were about to slash me.I stood up and approached the baby doll with one hand while Volder, the man in front of me, hissed angrily. He lunged at me, aiming for the baby doll I was holding, but once again I managed to dodge him. I couldn't see where I was going because all my focus was on Volder in front of me, but the sounds around me were chaotic."Don't you dare touch me," I hissed angrily, showing my own fangs. Volder smirked mockingly and lunged towards me. I tried to dodge him again, but one of his hands managed to grab my long hair and yank it forcefully, pulling my body towards him. I tried to fight back with one hand, but he yanked my hair down again and slammed his knee into my head with great force.He threw me to the floor again and reached for the bundle I was h

    Chapter 132 It felt like a wave of icy water washed over my body as I heard Carleon's last question. Carleon. Nick and I looked at Dostov simultaneously, who still appeared calm. Dostov was the one who spread those rumors? I thought with horror, but Alice had said that Dostov wasn't the one responsible. On the other hand, Nick just observed both of them, even though he usually easily succumbed to anger when it involved our children. "This is the second time I'm warning you, Carleon. I'm not in the mood for small talk. If you can't respect my request, you should leave my territory quickly." Then Dostov turned to us, though he quickly winked one eye at me. The tension in my shoulders eased. Dostov walked back to his seat and sat down. "Ah, forgive me once again. I just wanted to see the reactions of the new members of your clan who are present here. Consider it as me helping you test their loyalty to you," Carleon continued. So his previous question was a provocation for us... "If

    I could hear the pounding of my own heart. We walked side by side. Alice separated herself from us, as she was planning to enter after Dostov finished speaking. I had heard stories about Carleon from Greg and Lana, who had met him directly. As Vlad's right-hand man, he was incredibly loyal and always carried out his duties perfectly. According to Nick's stories, Vlad never intervened directly or displayed his powers openly because everything was done by Carleon and his subordinates. I had to remind myself repeatedly that we were safe and under the protection of the Dostov clan. We entered the ballroom of the headquarters accompanied by around eight members of other clans. However, Carleon's entourage had not yet appeared; it seemed they were still in the elevator as this headquarters was located on the top three floors of this hotel building. Dostov sat in his chair casually, wearing a yellow hoodie that contrasted with the black robe we were wearing. We stood around his chair sile

    The day we have been waiting for has finally arrived. As planned, we all gathered at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel at ten in the morning. Dostov would receive Carleon in the same ballroom as our honorary clan acceptance ceremony yesterday.If Carleon does indeed come today, then some clan members designated by Dostov will also be present as witnesses, although we are also sure that Carleon will not come here alone.While I am nervous, there is someone much more nervous than me at the moment. Lana's face has been pale since we met this morning, and Greg hasn't let go of her embrace. I'm sure Greg's feelings right now aren't doing well either, but he hides his worries very well behind a calm and normal expression on his face.We have to separate to discuss what we need to do later. Greg, Lana, and Luke are waiting in one of the rooms directly connected to the ballroom. Meanwhile, me, Nick, Dostov, and Alice are talking in another room that is more private.Other clan members are waiting in

    Chapter 129Dostov informed us to evacuate Elliot and Rosie from Manhattan as soon as possible, so today we planned to leave for San Francisco.Sebastian and Ludmila Moran... I don't remember them very well because we only met once, that too when I was still human. The only thing I remember from that night is Greg's confession that he was the one who bit me six months ago.But as far as I remember, the husband and wife seemed friendly and accepting of me back then, and most importantly, Nick trusted them.We had to hire a private jet because... of course, because of Elliot. He couldn't stop saying "yum yum" to every human he met. Even Nick noticed Elliot's strange behavior at the Waldorf Astoria hotel last night. We were also afraid that Elliot would show his little fangs to everyone if we took a regular plane.Almost a year and a half has passed since I moved to Manhattan, but San Francisco still looks the same.
