I looked back at Gregory Shaw and his terrifying angry face.

"Whoa... are you threatening me?" I asked nonchalantly before taking another sip of my mineral water.

He was silent for a few minutes before repeating his question. "Where's Lana?"

I looked at his two fangs, which seemed slightly sharper than Erik's yesterday. If Erik was a Leech, then this guy was a Volder.

"I can't tell you where Lana is even if I wanted to." I answered, weighing whether I should tell him about Lana's request. "Lana gave me specific instructions, she asked me not to tell you, and I want to respect her request," I continued with a thin smile.

Gregory clenched his jaw until a crunching sound came out of his mouth. "Did she tell you why?"

I shrugged my shoulders. I don't know why but seeing him angry was also enjoyable. I remembered Alice's story earlier about Gregory hunting for Valkyrie power decades ago. What a fool, I thought while smiling broader.

"Maybe she doesn't like you? Hey, Shaw, I don't mean to b

    "Nicholas Shaw, what?" I looked sharply at him as we got into his car. Alice had just explained to me the urgent situation that was happening right now that we had to hurry to."His wife is giving birth," Alice repeated calmly. Tonight she was driving because I didn't know the location of our destination.I still looked at him with disbelief. "He... has a wife?" Nicholas Shaw? I could hardly believe my own ears when I heard that. "I thought he was gay..." I muttered before leaning back on the car seat.Alice smiled upon hearing my last joke. "Looks like you're not as smart as you think."I nodded slightly to admit it. "They just got married, and his wife is heavily pregnant. Gregory couldn't reach Nicholas, so he asked me to come and help with the delivery," she explained to me.Is his wife... Volder too?" I asked.Alice shook her head, her gaze still focused on driving. "No, his wife is a Leech. Previously, she was a normal human."Almost twenty minutes later, Alice's car entered the

    Several weeks have passed since our visit to Nicholas Shaw's house. I haven't thought much about Nicholas and Ella since then, as my mind has been occupied with the launch schedule of our latest product, the Crossfire Tracking Device.For the past two weeks, I've been moving back and forth between Alice's apartment and mine. We spend every night together, with Alice dropping me off and picking me up each day. Sometimes, Erik substitutes for her when she's busy. At first, I felt bad about it, but Alice said we didn't have any other choice right now.Until the Volder and Carleon clans left town and stopped tailing me, I couldn't move freely. Though it's been a hassle for Alice, at least because we're always together, I haven't experienced any kidnappings lately. So, I can concentrate on perfecting and launching the CTD.The tracking device I'm marketing will be sold as a package with installation, as the CTD needs to be implanted inside the body.Days pass quickly when my mind is busy,

    I wasn't sure what had woken me up, the sound of the noisy machine near me, or the pain in my head right now. Both my temples were throbbing hard, and even my eyes were pulsating painfully. I slowly opened my eyes and looked at my slightly dirty black pants, with a few strands of my brown hair falling over my eyes.It wasn't just my head that hurt, my entire body did too. I couldn't move anything because I was tightly tied to the chair I was sitting on. Someone must have removed my jacket, because now I was just wearing my white shirt. Blood that had already partially dried stained some of my shirt, matching the color of my maroon red tie still hanging around my neck.Although my head felt like it was splitting apart, I forced myself to tilt my head upwards. At first, my eyes were still blurry, but after a few moments, I began to see more clearly. I must be in a factory building right now because of the noisy machine across from me.I was willing to bet all my assets at Crossfire Inc.

    Who is that man? Several times I caught a concerned expression in Humbert's eyes as he looked to the corner of the room."Lancaster," he whispered very low, his lips barely moving as he called my name. He was looking at me again."What?" I asked just as quietly. "I'm not joking... The man sent seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars to my account thirty minutes ago. He really wants your head," he continued with the same hushed whisper as before.I looked at Humbert's sagging face with a serious expression. At this point, my playful mood had disappeared. "Who is the man?" "I don't know, but he's not joking. I made a deal with him, if you give me the security code for the Crossfire system, then I'll return the money and release you," he continued with an expression that made me believe his words.Seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars is not a small amount. Even if Humbert gets the security code for the Crossfire system, he still has to hack the firewall and database within eight mi

    "Humbert," I called out tensely. "You can take the money, just leave this place as soon as possible."Humbert turned sharply towards me with an angry expression. "You imbecile! I am trying to save you. You should be grateful to me!"I closed my eyes tightly. Humbert may not realize it, but I am the one who is saving him right now. When I opened my eyes again, the Russian Volder was staring at me with his black eyes."What is your name?" I asked with a neutral tone. "I'm tired of calling you 'Russian Volder' in my head," I continued with a mutter.Both of his eyes stared at me with a flash of anger. "Your mouth will really kill you one day. My name is Carleon."Ah... So this is Carleon. I looked at the long scratch on his face again. If I asked him about the scar, he would definitely get mad, right? I have to divert his attention so that Humbert Bale and his minions can leave this place. "Carleon-""Oh, Mr. Bale, unfortunately Lancaster is right," he said suddenly, his attention now fu

    I tried to direct my gaze away from the four corpses lying on the floor. I searched through my pockets but couldn't find my phone anywhere.A sound of something being dragged closer made me freeze up again. I turned around to look at the corner door that was wide open. Carleon whistled as he dragged one of Humbert Bale's legs, pulling him back into the room.His whistle stopped and was replaced by a grin when he saw me again. He effortlessly gathered the fifth victim and placed him beside the others, just like in his narration earlier. Five people murdered for embezzlement of company funds."Don't you want to add a sixth victim?" I gritted my teeth as I spoke. Though I had witnessed violence and bloodshed in every kidnapping I've been through, I had never seen a dead body in my life."You're not included in that plan, Lancaster," he said, still smiling. He picked one of the corpses up and placed it on his shoulder lightly. Fresh blood still dripped from the man's neck, which Carleon l

    Suddenly, the sound of a door being slammed shut overpowered my screams. Carleon immediately removed his mouth from my neck and looked up to see who had arrived."Printsessa!" he exclaimed with enthusiasm.I could still feel the burning and weakness in my body, but I tried to lift my head to see who had just entered. My neck was still wet with the blood that was flowing from my wounds caused by his fangs."Alice," he said, still beside me, "I'm sorry, but I have to kill you tonight."Alice stood near the door with Erik. She was still wearing her red dress, but this time, she roughly tied her golden hair back... as usual. The tip of her katana was peeking out from behind her back. Erik was wearing a suit, looking very neat from head to toe. Unlike Alice, who seemed to be focused solely on Carleon, Erik's gaze had been fixed on me since he arrived."Vlad sends his regards," Carleon muttered beside me. "Don't be offended. I'm only following your father's orders... ""I don't care about y

    Three days have passed since I "awakened" from the hellish nightmare that turned out to be the transition process I had to go through before becoming a Leech. Alice told me everything that had happened while I was unconscious.After the poison that paralyzed me attacked my respiratory system, Alice and Erik brought me to Nicholas Shaw's house. The poison in my body could not be neutralized, so the only way was either to let me die or to turn me into a Leech.Unfortunately, Nicholas could not turn me into his Leech, as every time Volder transformed a human into a Leech, they would also lose some of their power. He had already turned Erik into his Leech, so he could not turn me too. Especially since Ella had just given birth to twin babies, and her daughter, Rosie, was born as a normal human.This is where the role of the unknown man I met three days ago comes in... I thought I was the most proficient in making others angry, but it turns out there was still someone who could surpass me.

    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.
