~ Reagan's POV~

Reagan found himself caught in a web of disbelief as he looked from Ervine to Lord Ramona, their solemn expressions and serious demeanor making it hard for him to take their words seriously.

Lumiére had told him the name of the human he was seeing was Raven, so where had Phoenix who should be dead come out from.

His initial reaction was to chuckle, unable to fathom the possibility of what they were suggesting. However, their unwavering seriousness quelled his laughter, and he took a deep breath to compose himself.

"Come on, give me something believable, or I'll walk away from all of this... Phoenix is dead. The clan, they killed her," Reagan muttered, his voice laced with a tinge of frustration and skepticism.

He had witnessed her demise himself, and the thought of her miraculously returning from the dead seemed far-fetched, to say the least. If Phoenix were alive, she would have surely reached out to them long ago, rather than making an appearance at a charity ball.

    ~ Raven's POV~"Up… could you please help me go upstairs?" Lumiére said, struggling to rise to his feet.Raven swiftly stood up and lent him a hand, supporting him as he tried to regain his balance. Together, they slowly made their way towards the bottom of the stairs. However, he gently pushed her away, not because he was angry—she could see it in his eyes."Please go… Find out who that person is... I'll manage," he assured her with a slight nod.She felt hesitant at first, not wanting to abandon him in his current condition. But he mustered a reassuring smile and urged her to go. Although she still couldn't grasp what was happening to him, she could sense his determination to push his way through whatever was happened to him."Just so you know, my room is the first one on the right," she informed him, as a sudden surge of emotion compelled her to give him a brief kiss on the lips. For some reason, she felt like this was the last time she was going to see him.Then she reluctantly re

    ~ Reagan's POV~Allicin? It had been ages since Reagan had even heard of that stuff. It was like a forgotten secret, something from a distant time, an abomination that shouldn't even exist. Finding Allicin nowadays was as rare as spotting a unicorn. Yet, somehow, it had made its way into Raven's home, and Lumiére was trapped inside.Raven, who was also Phoenix. She was also the very person who had led a mission to wipe out their kind. Reagan didn't even want to imagine how Lumiére had ended up in this situation, willingly entering a house where the scent of Allicin was present. Lumiére should have sensed the scent the moment he stepped foot inside the house and the fact that he didn't was sending the wrong message to Reagan.Reagan couldn't help but wonder how distracted and vulnerable Lumiére must have been to miss such a strong smell. He shook his head in disbelief. Inhaling Allicin wouldn't be deadly for a High Lord, but it would weaken Lumiére and disable his powers for a while.

    ~ Reagan's POV~Lumiére slowly opened his eyes, looking at Reagan and then shifting his gaze to Noah, who still wore a stunned expression on his face."Why are you here?" Lumiére asked Noah, confusion evident in his voice."To save your ass," Reagan replied bluntly. He wasted no time and instructed Noah, "Help me carry him." Together, they carefully lifted Lumiére and carried him over to the car. Placing him in the backseat, Reagan climbed in after him and closed the door.Noah took the driver's seat and started the car, pulling out of the parking lot behind another black SUV. "You were grounded, Noah. I explicitly told you not to leave the Sanctuary," Lumiére voiced his disapproval from the back seat.Noah remained silent, his gaze meeting Reagan's through the rearview mirror. Understanding the situation, Reagan shook his head slightly."I allowed him to come," Reagan said, looking back at Lumiére." …and Arin? You couldn't call him or what?" Lumiére asked.Reagan scoffed, so much

    ~ Lumiére's POV~Lumiére's heightened senses alerted him to a sound that seemed out of place. Even before fully comprehending what was happening, he instinctively knew that something was amiss. No one, except him and Noah were present in his penthouse. Noah's movements were not the source of the sound because Noah didn't move stealthily like the footsteps he was picking up. The guy moved loudly like a bull, so it wasn't him. They had entered the house together several hours ago, and no one had entered since then except Arin who still left after a whilr. Even in his weakened state, Lumiére could piece together those details.There were invaders in his home.With a deliberate effort, he slowly snapped his eyes opened and quietly climbed out of the bed, being cautious not to make any sudden movements.Despite having fed recently, Lumiére still felt the lingering effects of his weakened state. He was tired, his energy taking its sweet time to fully replenish.A faint sound of a door cr

The anger he felt towards those responsible was palpable.Arin, with a solemn expression, sighed. "I think it's best if you stay home and have someone accompany you whenever you need to leave and also not be alone for the time being. It seems like your mere presence now attracts danger…Especially With the approaching full moon, things are becoming more dangerous," he warned.Lumiére rolled his eyes, a mix of frustration and understanding evident on his face. While he didn't particularly enjoy being confined or constantly monitored, he knew that Arin's advice was rooted in genuine concern for his safety. Besides, He was quite aware of the fact that Reagan was sitting down near him and was patiently awaiting the right moment to speak up.Acknowledging Arin's cautionary advice, Lumiére nodded in agreement. He had no intention of arguing a

All that mattered to her was finding a place where she could feel secure, and this particular place was the only she thought about coming to.The incident earlier that afternoon with Katie had left Raven feeling unsure and unsafe within the confines of her own house. It made her wonder about the possibility of Katie planting or hiding other unknown objects in various corners of her home. After all, Katie had unrestricted access to every single part of the house.Raven had thought about this all through the day, racking her brain for solutions. Ultimately, she found herself at the watchtower as a last resort, after finding out the distressing news that her granny was no longer present at the facility.As she stood there, her gaze fell upon a man covere

I'll bring dinner to you when it's ready," she added before leaving the room. Raven stood there, taking in the grandeur of her surroundings. After a few minutes, she felt a chilly breeze brush against her skin, reminding her of the open balcony doors. She quickly moved to close them, not wanting to catch a cold in this splendid but drafty room. Curiosity led her to explore the lavish bathroom next. Every single item in the space seemed to be adorned with gold accents. The bathtub itself resembled something out of a movie, one of those extravagant ones she had only seen on television. Without hesitation, she ran warm water into the tub and immersed herself in its inviting embrace. She could stay in here forever without leaving if this was what they enjoyed. In that moment, Raven couldn't help but feel a glimpse of the enjoy

Lumiére couldn't help but scoff inwardly, wondering who held the true power and authority in this place – himself or Reagan. As Middleton cautiously entered the room, Lumiére observed him closely. The man stopped in the center of the room, avoiding direct eye contact with Lumiére. Lumiére let out a sigh, realizing that his cousin must have warned Middleton not to slack off during this his blind date. "Any idea who I'm going to meet?"

Most Vampires wouldn't have survived being exposed to Allicin every hour for weeks, but he was different. He was stronger, or so he believed.But as the days turned into weeks, doubts began to creep into his mind. How much longer could he endure this torture? He had lost track of time since his capture, possibly a month or more. It was all a blur.He let out a weary sigh, bracing himself for what was to come. No matter how many times he resisted, Heather refused to believe him."Where is the sword?!" Heather sneered, the frustration evident in his voice."I've already told you, I don't know," Lumiére snapped back, meeting Heather's gaze defiantly.Heather scoffed, grabbing another syringe filled with Allicin. Lumiére raised an eyebrow, surprised at the sudden escalation. Two shots in such a short span of time? This was a new tactic."I see you

    Raven's POVOakhurst? Raven's mind was buzzing with questions. Why was Lumiére in Oakhurst? It was the same place she had been abducted by the witch.

After all, it was almost an hour away from her home and university.Just as she was about to speak, the door creaked open, saving her from any potential lies.
