Chapter 037 Dante’s mind was a battlefield, memories from his forgotten past life started to resurface as broken pieces that pierced his mind like glass fragments.The pieces of his memory assembled themselves one by one throughout each passing moment, his mind recalled every detail about their past reign, including their use of Lucia's blood to gain power.They transformed her into their weapon, his reflection in the mirror watched him back while he stood there, but he felt no sense of trust in his face.His eyes appeared darker and more intense than before, the truth became clear to him, and it made him feel cold inside, the name Lucia escaped his lips with a harsh bitterness.A faint creaking sound emerged from the open door behind him, Matteo walked into the room with a force that dominated the space, the formalities were unnecessary between them, time had become their enemy, so they no longer had space for pleasantries.Matteo spoke with a harsh tone as if the words caused him
Chapter 038Sophia moved through the impressive corridors of the mansion as her high heels softly tapped against the marble floors.The memories from her previous existence came back with full force to fill her thoughts with images of power struggles, cross-border crossings, and dishonesty.These returning memories revealed her life's purpose to her because she had always sensed she was destined for greatness.She functioned beyond the role of a simple piece in this game, she possessed the ability to control every piece on the board, The prophecy, The prophecy revealed itself to her through scattered fragments of memory and fragmented dreams, which now became crystal clear.The prophecy predicted her destiny for this mission, she possessed the power to manipulate the destinies of everyone surrounding her, she could control Lucia's destiny.She would ensure that the Blood Moon's rise brought the exact events that the prophecy had predicted.She entered the room where Dante and Matteo
Chapter 039The Blood Moon approached its closest point to Earth. The sky, which previously served as a background for her thoughts, now weighed heavily upon her. Lucia sensed a heavy electric tension in the atmosphere, which indicated that something dreadful was about to occur. She felt the world holding its breath because she believed she caused this situation.The dark room confined her as she sat with her wrists bound to a cold metal chair. Each passing second extended the shadows that surrounded her. She concentrated on her breathing while attempting to suppress the fear that was growing inside her chest. But it was hard. The approaching danger became too difficult to dismiss from her mind.The sedative medication started to fade from her system, making her body heavy and her mind hazy. The muffled voices of Dante and Matteo continued to reach her ears as they finalised their plans through the closed door. She sensed their preparations through the door without knowing how long th
Chapter 040Lucia experienced a pounding headache while lying in the freezing dark room, where her vision alternated between clarity and blurriness. She sensed a force pressing against her veins, as if her body was losing an essential element. The slow draining of her blood from her veins caused her entire body to rebel against the loss of her life force. The drug in her bloodstream prevented her from moving, while it kept her body paralysed in complete helplessness.The cold metal chair served as her only support while standing. Clamping ropes secured around her wrists caused deep wounds in her skin. The physical bindings on her body were not what weighed most heavily on her. She understood that she found herself trapped in this location under the control of two former allies who now held her captive.Dante and Matteo.The distant voices reached her ears with enough clarity for her to make out their words.The first thing she heard was Matteo speaking with a detached voice. "It’s tim
Chapter 041Nero hurried through the frigid stone hallway. His heart pounded with a sense of emergency, and his footsteps produced an echoing sound. The atmosphere around him grew electric with tension, which seemed to squeeze out all other elements in the space. His senses operated at peak levels while his thoughts moved quicker than his running pace. Each stride Nero took moved him nearer to Lucia until he reached her.The door behind him released muffled noises of fighting, which Nero could already detect: Dante's and Matteo's muffled voices combined with their brief movements in the darkness. The room fell silent after the commotion ended. His heart clenched. It was too late. Or was it?The door approached, and he paused for a split second to let the gravity of his upcoming action sink deep into his body. This was it. Time had run out because he needed to move immediately to prevent the situation from ending.He pushed the door open with one motion and entered the room, where his
Chapter 042Lucia's mind was in a state of confusion. The words Nero spoke, together with his revelations, exceeded Lucia's ability to understand them. A god? Could Nero be her soul's counterpart?Nero presented information about her past, which she found impossible to believe. The tangled web of lies led her further into a state of confusion.She faced him while attempting to control her breathing as the room's atmosphere shifted with disturbing vibrations. Her frantic thoughts merged with the rapid pulse coursing through her veins.She refused to believe his words despite his repeated attempts at clarification.You cannot expect me to believe your words. Lucia’s voice cracked with frustration. Do you claim I am a counterpart to a divine being? According to your words, we have existed together since the beginning of time. You expect me to believe this despite the fact that I cannot trust you?Nero's eyes showed gentleness, yet his composure made Lucia even more furious. ous. The need
Chapter 043Lucia experienced a rapid heartbeat while standing by herself in the poorly lit room. The heavy truth burdened her while the walls seemed to collapse around her.The truth Nero exposed to her exceeded everything she had ever thought possible.The pieces of her past decisions and the curse that had haunted her since time began started forming clear images in her mind.The events of her life extended beyond what fate had dealt her. She actively participated in every aspect of what had occurred.She lost focus on her surroundings while fighting to maintain her stability. She shut her eyes to experience memories that did not belong to her as she witnessed her past self and Lunaria, who had cursed herself.She experienced everything again while gaining the present-day understanding she had not possessed in her past. The sudden clarity brought forth a torrent of emotions, which included guilt, deep sorrow, and intense regret that seemed timeless.Nero spoke in her thoughts, "You

Chapter 085As the wind howled through the mountain pass's narrow path, Dante's hands clenched around the hilt of his sword. His breath came in irregular, shallow gasps, and every step felt like a thousand burdens.Even though his past had always hovered over him like a shadow, he was resolved to put it behind him today.He would prove himself today, if not to the entire world, then at least to Lucia, who was the most important person.The stakes were high, but the mission was straightforward. In order to prevent Matteo from unleashing his evil magic, he and the team needed to recover an old artifact.Dante had offered to lead the risky portion, but Lucia took the lead.He could feel the pull of his former life, the darkness that had long defined him, the farther they ventured into enemy territory. Now, however, he was fighting for redemption.He saw a vision of Lucia's face, her eyes full of something other than determination. It might have been hope. Perhaps it was trust.He hadn't
Chapter 084Alessandro sat in the dimly lit chamber, a soft fire flickering in the hearth before him.The room was quiet, save for the occasional rustle of the papers scattered across the wooden table in front of him.The ancient walls of the mansion held an eerie still as if the very air was holding its breath, waiting for what was to come next.The task ahead weighed heavily on him, yet he had never shied away from responsibility.Tonight, he was not just Alessandro Stellini. He was a strategist, a leader, a man whose alliances would determine the fate of their world.Lucia had entrusted him with this mission to unite the forces that would stand against the chaos Matteo and Kalyndria sought to unleash. And Alessandro, despite his doubts, would not fail her.The door to the chamber creaked open, and he looked up to see Isabella step inside, her eyes sharp and focused, as always.Her presence was a comfort in this tense moment, a reminder that he was not alone in this fight."Have yo
Chapter 083Gasping for breath, Lucia stood at the base of the Italian Alps, staring up at the jagged rocks that hid the ancient temple she sought.The fresh aroma of the snow-capped mountains blended with the scent of pine trees in the crisp air.It was not only the physical weight of the Heart of Lunaria that was heavy in her hands. It was the weight of accountability and the knowledge that her decisions could either preserve or ruin everything she held dear.She had reached this point in her journey where she would confront the unknown and enter the center of power beyond her comprehension.The knowledge of Eldrin's increasing power weighed heavily on her heart, and the road ahead was dangerous. Though doubt gnawed at her insides, she had no choice but to move forward."Are you sure about this?" Nero's voice broke the silence, and he was always there by her side.Lucia looked at him, his expression a mix of resolve and worry. She could see the fear in his eyes the fear of failing,
Chapter 082Isabella's fingers hovered over the ancient book, its pages smudged but still readable from years of turning.Her heart pounded as she turned the pages of the yellowed parchment, the words drawing her further into the mystery of Eldrin, the mighty creature who had suddenly materialized.She had been having visions that were getting more precise and distinct. But they were still illogical. Similar to a puzzle that needs to be assembled, the pieces were dispersed.She was trying to make connections as her mind raced. Not only was Eldrin a strong being, but he was also something much older, with ties to the Blood Moon.Prophecies from antiquity that mentioned equilibrium and forces that could either tip the scales in favor of life or destruction had never been clear.However, this was something different. Eldrin was not a normal person. He was the final member of a lineage that had been developed since the beginning of time in order to preserve the harmony between chaos and o
Chapter 081Matteo Vulpin stood in the dimly lit room, his back straight and his fingers resting lightly on the cold wood of the table. The walls around him felt like they were closing in, the air heavy with the tension he had built over months.Usually, he played a slow, calculated game, but tonight, something felt different. Everything was about to shift, and he knew it.His next move would shock Lucia's coalition, leaving them vulnerable and exposed.The plan was set in motion a long time ago. Lucia meticulously crafted every detail, perfectly timing each betrayal and assassination.One by one, Lucia's once-strong alliances began to crumble. He couldn’t help but feel a slight satisfaction as he imagined the fear spreading through her ranks.Matteo’s gaze flickered toward the map on the table before him.He was not only interested in the supernatural world but also in the lucrative mafia world.Lucia had trusted too many people too many people who had already chosen their sides.He k
Chapter 080Sophia’s eyes flickered open, her vision blurry at first, the darkness around her swarming with fragmented images. Her mind felt like a jigsaw puzzle, the pieces scattered, waiting to be put together.She could feel the pulse of her heart, slow and heavy, as though something had been stolen from her, something vital that she could not yet recall.A voice whispered in the back of her mind, sharp and full of malice. “You’re not whole yet. Not yet.”She blinked, trying to make sense of the words, but they faded into the shadows as she pushed herself to sit up. The air smelled thick with magic, familiar yet foreign, as if the very fabric of reality had been altered.She could feel the power pulsing through her veins, her body still not entirely her own but stronger than she remembered.The ritual had worked. But it had been incomplete.Sophia’s hand pressed against her forehead, the memories flooding back in flashes images of betrayal, anger, and a thirst for revenge.She reme
Chapter 079The night in Corciano had always been peaceful. The cool breeze swept through the streets, carrying the scent of fresh flowers from the nearby gardens. It was the kind of place where the supernatural lived quietly among the humans, each of them keeping their heads down, knowing their place in the world.There was a calm here, a sort of stillness that settled in the heart. But all of that would change in an instant.A crackle of energy split the air, followed by a low rumble like thunder. The ground trembled beneath their feet, and the night sky, which had been clear and serene, darkened as if something unseen was blocking out the stars.A sudden, sharp gust of wind blew through the trees, rattling the branches and sending leaves spiraling into the air.Then, the figure appeared.Eldrin stood at the center of the town square, his presence undeniable. He was tall, his long hair flowing like dark silk around his shoulders.His eyes, glowing faintly with a light that seemed bo
Chapter 078As Nero observed the mayhem all around him, his heart raced. As Matteo's army swept through the room, the Heart of Lunaria flickered feebly on the table, its light fading.The dark magic swirled in the air, thick and suffocating, and he could feel its oppressive weight.Lucia was only a few paces away, and her eyes reflected his desperation.She had to finish the ceremony, She had to complete what she had begun.However, Matteo's troops had already arrived, and they would not give up until they had Lucia and the Heart."No!" With a roar, Nero moved ahead of her, his hands automatically grabbing hold of his divine power. "Remain back!"The soldiers paused, obviously not anticipating opposition. However, the sinister energy that pervaded the space propelled them forward, and the first blow came like a wave, strong and relentless.Nero barely flinched, even though he felt the impact of their spell. This time, though, something was different. He was accustomed to the weight of
Chapter 077With the Heart of Lunaria in her hands and glowing with a spooky, ethereal light, Lucia stood in the middle of the darkened room.entire being trembled with energy as she felt its power pulsing through her. Its emotional and physical burden was too much to bear.The moment had arrived to decide. She was aware that there would be a sacrifice involved in using the Heart. What sort of sacrifice, though? She wasn't certain that she was prepared to make that decision.She was startled out of her reverie by a gentle knock on the door. Nero was standing there when she turned around, his expression solemn, but his eyes softened as they met hers.He walked into the room and shut the door without saying anything.Nero said softly, "Lucia," in a worried voice. "I understand your thoughts. You've spent hours gazing at the heart. You must make a choice.The mention of the decision made Lucia's chest tighten. She was unwilling to make it. The cost was the last thing she wanted to consi
