~ 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
~ Lumiére's POV~"They made a grave mistake by not killing me when they had the chance to do so" Lumiére muttered, a lethal undertone lacing his words. 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
~ Raven's POV~Raven firmly tapped her knuckles against the enormous metal Gates of the Watchtower, anxiously awaiting a response. The rain was pouring heavily, and she was completely soaked, but she didn't mind her physical condition. 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
~ Raven's POV~"The bathroom is over in the corner," the woman informed her, pointing in the direction. "There are fresh clothes waiting for you in the closet. 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's POV~ Lumiére was feeling unprepared and unenthusiastic when Middleton entered his room that evening. He knew he had to face something difficult and challenging, and he wasn't in the mood to leave the comfort of his room. However, Reagan had made it clear that he must follow orders without question. 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?" Lumiére asked, his curiosity piqued as he focused his attention on Middleton. Middleton shook his head in response. "No, My Lord. the top choice I think, but Lord Reagan didn't provide many specifics when he informed me about it," he explained
~ Reagan's POV~Reagan's heart pounded in his chest as adrenaline surged through his veins. It was a feeling though, because he didn't have a beating heart. He had been lying in wait, hidden behind a huge tree, hoping to catch the vampire off guard. But now, their carefully laid plans had Ben discovered, and his cover had been blown. There was no point in hiding any longer. As he burst through his hiding place, Reagan could hear Arin's urgent voice echoing in his head, pleading for him to stop. But he couldn't heed the call. The vampire was on the move, and Reagan couldn't let him escape. With determination fueling his every step, he leaped over a fallen tree with lightning speed, pushing his body to its limits as he pursued the elusive Vampire through the dense forest.The figure of the vampire darted ahead, effortlessly maneuvering through the trees with an otherworldly grace that only Vampires possess. Reagan knew that if he lost sight of him now, it would be nearly impossible
~ Reagan's POV~As Reagan stood there, gazing out at the vast open space in front of him, it felt like the land was laid bare, revealing its secrets to those who dared to venture forth. He could sense the barrier there that was carefully crafted to keep intruders at bay, obscuring their vision and shielding them from the mysteries that lay ahead. However, being a vampire granted Reagan a unique advantage—he possessed the extraordinary ability to perceive what lay hidden to others.Despite the daunting presence of the invisible barrier, Reagan could sense a remarkable shift in the temperature as he approached its edge. It was as if this particular area operated under different natural laws. The air grew chilly, causing a shiver to crawl up his spine. It was a bone-chilling cold, one that seemed to penetrate through every layer of clothing. Looking down, he noticed that the ground was completely transformed, covered in a thick layer of ice. This ice was not like the delicate frost on
~ Lumiére's POV~Lumiére kept running his hand through his hair again and again. He was getting more and more frustrated with each passing minute, and it was obvious to everyone in the room that he was not in the mood to deal with whatever problem they were discussing."I get what you're saying, but I don't see why you want to change the date... it's already perfect!" Lord Ramona said, trying to stay calm and understanding.Lumiére quietly mumbled to himself, trying to relax in his seat. Somehow, the news had spread to the other Sanctuaries that he had found his future wife.Because of this, the Lords of those Sanctuaries had called for a meeting at the fortress, but it annoyed Lumiére that Reagan, the person who got him into this mess, wasn't there to suffer with him.The room felt tense, as everyone could sense Lumiére's frustration. He was clearly carrying a lot of responsibility and feeling a lot of pressure."I didn't say it wasn't perfect... I'm just saying there's a lot that ne
