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.

    (POV - Eleanor Heather)Our lives drastically changed after Elliot and Rosie were born.Nick resigned from his job and appointed a competent new partner to manage his law firm.When I asked if he would regret giving up the firm that he had built from the ground up, Nick shrugged, seemingly unconcerned.He said he was embarking on a new job that he had never tried before… being a father.As usual, Nick was always right. Being parents to twins was an incredibly exhausting job. The different personalities of Elliot and Rosie also posed their own challenges for us.But Nick seemed to enjoy it very much. So I had no reason not to enjoy it as well.Of course, problems still arose in our lives.Several months had passed since Lana became a Leech. At first, Greg had hidden the fact that Lana was turned by Vlad’s henchman named Carleon.But eventually, Nick, who was suspicious, tried to investigate. The two of us “judged” Greg until he admitted everything.We were very surprised because at fir

    In the end, we agreed to discuss the Carleon issue further after Greg told Lana, because after all, this problem also concerned her."Getting Carleon to come here is not that easy," Nick said after Greg had gone home.We had just put Elliot and Rosie to bed in their room. Lately, they had been able to sleep on the same schedule, whereas before I and Nick took turns watching the twins because of their different sleep schedules.If Rosie slept, Elliot would wake up, and vice versa. Such a schedule had almost driven us crazy.It was only this week that we finally got to sleep in the same room again. Before, one of us had to sleep in the twins' room just in case one of them woke up."Which one is easier? Kidnapping him or luring him to Manhattan?" I asked before throwing my body onto the bed and stretching my arms out to relax.Nick unbuttoned his shirt one by one while furrowing his brow."Kidnapping him is definitely more troublesome than getting him to come here."My eyes roamed over h

    "Ella, what's wrong?" Lana asked as she sat next to me.My smile faded quickly as Dostov walked down from his bar stool and made his way towards us with a glass of whisky in his hand."Ella?" Lana called out to me again, but my gaze remained fixed on Dostov.What was he doing here...?Dostov stopped in front of our table and placed his whisky glass down. Lana was silent next to me, seemingly taken aback."Eleanor, it's good to see you again," he said with a friendly expression. I still felt very strange seeing his youthful face, even though this man was almost four times Nick's age."Nice...to see you too," I replied to him. It seemed like Dostov picked up on the hesitation in my voice because his smile became even deeper."Do you two know each other?" Lana whispered next to me. I forgot that Lana didn't know who Dostov was. She had never met him before."Errr...Lana, the man who just bought us wine is Dostov. And Dostov...this is my friend, Lana."Awkwardly, I introduced the two.Dos

    I was surprised when Dostov suddenly mentioned Carleon's name."You already know..." I whispered with disbelief. Greg said no one knows about his agreement with Vlad and Carleon yet, even Lana still didn't know about Greg's plan to trap Carleon.Lana still had a innocent look on her face. "Do you need my help?""How did you know..." I didn't finish my sentence. We did need all the help we could get right now. If Dostov was willing to help, then there was no harm in asking, right?As if reading my mind, Dostov smiled at me.His ability to read my movements and thoughts made me slightly shiver. After all, Dostov was known as one of the most feared Volders, what was on his face and what was in his head were not always the same. Behind his innocent and young face, Dostov was the leader of the largest clan in the country.I still didn't understand why people were forcing themselves to be Elliot and Rosie's guardians."How will you help us? Will you kill Carleon?" I asked cautiously.Dostov

    Dostov's reflexes were better than I expected. He managed to hold onto my wrists, which were close to gripping his neck, but the impact of my tackle caused us to both tumble onto the grass.Despite being underneath me, Dostov smiled at me. His hands held onto my wrists. "Eleanor... Nicholas will kill me if he saw us like this.""Oh, really?" I growled, grinning angrily. "Then I'll kill you before Nick. How dare you suggest Rosie as bait!"But of course, his strength was greater than mine. Dostov managed to hold my weight and roll away from me, getting up quickly onto his feet. Some grass and leaves clung to his maroon red hoodie, and his dark blonde hair was disheveled.He reached out to me, but I brushed him off, still furious."You! Stay away from my daughter!" I shouted as I got up, storming into the house through the side door.Lana called out from the balcony above, momentarily diverting our attention. "What are you two doing?!"I covered my face as the real estate agent appeared

    Greg and Nick turned simultaneously towards Lana."Who did you say?" Greg repeated, setting down the bowl of sauce he was holding.Nick, who had been standing near Elliot, slowly turned his gaze towards me. I couldn't hide my guilty expression from him, and Nick's face darkened immediately."Dostov," Lana replied, before looking up at Greg. Slowly, her smile faded and was replaced with a confused expression. "What's wrong, Greg?""Dostov has met with you..." Greg growled angrily. His blue eyes dramatically darkened.Lana looked towards me, surprised. "Are we not allowed to meet with him?""We?!" Greg turned sharply towards me. "Ella, you let Lana meet with Dostov?"I was really in trouble."Dostov didn't do anything," I protested, lying a little. "We just had lunch together.""Eleanor, you didn't say anything to me all afternoon." This time, it was Nick who spoke. My guilt returned, stronger than before."I'm sorry, Nick."Nick looked disappointed with me."What did he say to you?" Gr

    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.
