Naomi's Pov"S-Sebastian," I stammered, my voice barely audible.Lucian felt a jolt of surprise and anger. Sebastian? He was obviously Drek's assistant, the one who seemed so charming and harmless? I couldn't believe it.Lucian held me closer, trying to process this new information."What happened?" He asked, his voice low and urgent.My sobs intensified, and I could feel my body trembling in Lucian's arms. I held him tightly as my eyes scanned the room again.Lucian was trying to calm me down, but my mind was racing with questions and fears.What did Sebastian do?, he pressed, his grip on me tightening.My words tumbled out in a rush, my voice shaking with fear."He came out of nowhere, and tried to save Deluna from the one who took her away. He tried to fight him, but he was too strong," I said. Lucian I felt a wave of fury as he continued to hold me,“Who is Deluna?” He asked as he stared into my eyes. He knew I had not really associated with people and just today I was here, I ha
Lucian's PovI felt like I was melting into her words, my lips tingling beneath me, I had longed to kiss her, but I wasn't sure if she was going to want it, just as I craved it so badly.I couldn't lie, I was almost dying inside of me, since the last time she kissed me, I had wanted more of it, but I just couldn't tell her.“You want it?” She asked softly,Her words sent shivers to me as I began to feel aroused, everything in my body had risen up.I nodded, my heart pounding in my chest as I tried to answer."Yes," I whispered, my voice barely audible.As I spoke the word, my eyes flashed with excitement, and I leaned in closer to me. I felt her breath on my skin, and I knew that everything was about to change.I moved my hands slowly as I tried to unzip her gold-shimmering dress. She stared at me, her eyes shining like an angel. I slowly unbuttoned the dress and pulled down her zippers till my hands got to her bottom, I then proceeded to pull it off, starting from the dress's little
Naomi's PovI stared into Lucian's eyes, my voice barely above a whisper,"Lucian, Lucian, stop. Please, stop, you should stop now." My words were a silent scream, but he didn't flinch. His lips continued to graze my neck, his fangs piercing my skin. I felt myself drifting away, my eyelids growing heavy.“Lucian, Lucian” I cried as I stared at him again. Holding his head to retreat again.My voice trembled as I called out his name again, desperate for him to hear me. But he remained motionless, consumed by his thirst. My vision blurred, and I felt my body weaken. I tried to push him away, but my strength failed me. My eyes closed, and I succumbed to the darkness.Hours passed, or so it seemed. I jolted awake, gasping for air. Lucian slept beside me, still unclad. I didn't know what really had happened, or what had stopped him? I placed a trembling hand on my neck, feeling for his fangs. They were gone, but the ache remained.I stood up, staggering, my legs like jelly. My vision blu
Lucian's PovI sat alone in my room, staring at my reflection in the mirror. My mind was consumed by the weight of my vampire curse, growing stronger by the day. I felt powerless, unable to control my actions. The memory of almost draining Naomi haunted me, a stark reminder of my vulnerability.I just couldn't say if I was going to be able to face Naomi again, now, when I had just started to think that I had really found peace, things had started showing up, which only left me depressed. Naomi had asked me earlier this morning as we had some conversation. She had asked me if I was alright, and what had caused me to drink in that way, she had started to notice that there was something wrong.I couldn't let her know, I couldn't tell her that I had a vampire rabid disease that seemed to tear me up. I didn't know how much time I had left to turn fully into it. I couldn't bring myself to tell her, perhaps she might start to see me as a monster again, which I feared the most."Why did thi
Naomi's Pov I just knew that the best way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing things. Even if Lucian wasn't ready to tell me everything that was wrong with him, maybe he feared the worst-case scenario, I had decided to uncover the truth and make sure that I found a solution for him. At this point, I knew that just talking wouldn't do. I needed to get up and help him out. It was almost an hour after Lucian had left the house, I hurriedly changed into something better and decided to search out Deluna. Deluna might have something to say about it. The air felt stiffening, as my skin prickled with unease. I realized with a sinking feeling that I couldn't reach Deluna on the phone because I didn't even have her number saved on the phone. Our sporadic encounters had never involved direct calls; she seemed to sense my solitude. The more I thought about it, I could sense fear and vulnerability gnawing at my heart, like it was about to rip me apart. Just as I placed my hands
Naomi's PovIf there was something that I was going to forget, I was never going to forget his eyes, even if I was blind, I was sure that I was still going to obviously recognize him. He was obviously just a coward like Alexander.I tried stepping back as my heart pounded fast. I had come to see Deluna, but I had unfortunately come across another devil. He increased his pace, knowing that I had stepped back. He was Alexander's right-hand man, he was his companion, He was the one who Alexander had sent to fetch me to his chambers whenever he wanted to have his way. He never cared about the girls as long as Alexander was ready to pay him really well.Furthermore, he was mostly known for his dubious acts and his deceitfulness. Not only that, but he had also disappeared that night. Alexander went into the air.As he approached me, I felt my feet trembling as I stared at him. "It's been a while, Naomi" he said, smiling scornfully, while turning to raise a finger to brush my hair."Don't
Lucian's Pov"I do not know, but this is something that started a long time ago, from my great-grandfather's, and it's killing me," I responded as I adjusted myself on one of the chairs in Dreks room. "I had definitely heard about the vampire rabbid from my grandfather, but I had never seen one" Drek said as he took a sip and dropped the glass of wine on the table. “What do you mean Drek?, or what do you think?” I asked Drek, trying my best to get some information from him."I don't know, but I think something went wrong with your great-grandfather's lineage which has resulted in you being half rabbid" Drek added, as his voice was firm. What exactly did you hear about being a rabid, I asked, as my curiosity piqued.“Something had always triggered it, it wasn't just common among vampires. Your grandfather, who is probably dead, should know something about it, and some decades ago when my father told me about a rabid, it didn't end so well,” Drek responded as he shook his head.“I…it
Naomi's Pov“I am whatever you think I am,” Deluna responded as she retrieved a bowl from the shelf and placed it on the table. Her steps were precise and beautiful as she walked.“I do not understand you Deluna,” I asked as I stared at her again, still amused at her house and now shocked at her response.The question is, what do you think of me, Naomi? Deluna replied as she stared at the contents inside the bowl with a metallic spoon. It wasn't a modern one, it looked exactly like the one carved by an ancient man in a story told by my parents.I hesitated before saying anything. The truth was, I really didn't even know her that much, I just knew she possessed powers that were not ordinary, and I couldn't say what she was up to with her powers.“It's just so simple to answer, if you think that I'm a blessing to mankind, then fine, and if you also think otherwise, still fine by me,” Deluna said,She walked close to me and stood some steps away from me.“No Deluna, you shouldn't say th
Naomi's PovLucian had gotten a call from Bruno's brother the next day, and he had accepted that they would give Bruno a befitting funeral, which Lucian had started making arrangements for. He had told his brother to inform their families and friends, including the people that Bruno had worked for. Lucian made sure that he had chosen one of the best cemeteries in the country, and had made sure he was able to buy a building solely dedicated to Bruno for being a hero and saving his life.As Lucian did this, it seemed like he felt a form of unease wash away, and he was able to breathe again. Before this time, he had always felt a pang of guilt and anything he slept. He had always seen Bruno in the dark pleading to him for help, but there was absolutely nothing that Lucian couldn't save him any longer. At times, Lucian told me that there were cases where he had forgotten that Bruno was dead.To fulfill his promise, Lucian made sure that he did everything possible to give Bruno a befittin
Lucian's PovTravis and I had sat down in the sitting room as we talked about the fact that Bruno's brother had started searching for him.He only knew that his brother imported goods from other countries, but they didn't know who exactly he worked for. He had noticed that his brother hadn't been picking up his calls for days, and he decided to search for him.Travis explained that his brother had sat at the building where Bruno used to work to look for him and search around to see if anyone knew the whereabouts of Bruno.He wasn't aware of everything that had happened that night, but he knew that something bad had happened to Bruno.I couldn't hide my sounds as I stared at Travis. I didn't know if it was right to just go ahead and inform him that Bruno was dead, but I didn't know if that was the best thing to do. I didn't know how his brother was going to receive the news, but it wouldn't be nice to watch him all day coming to the building to search for Bruno, even though we knew tha
Alexander Pov“I hope you had a nice time with your sister,” I asked, staring at Laura, who sat in one of the guest rooms.Just as I had instructed Madonna not to take her back to the cages, she needed to be fed well and cleaned well, so that in the coming days she would still look presentable to the buyer. “Yes, I did,” she responded as a tear escaped her eyes. “So why then do you still cry ?,” I asked as I moved closer to her. “I do not want to be sold anymore, I just want to be with my sister,” Laura said as she knelt down beside me. “What's all of this, you do not dictate if you are being sold or not. " I decided that, and nothing or no one counters my word. " There's nothing you can do about it, Laura, you can't change a thing, like I said, but you are here to fetch me some handsome money”, I responded as I stared at her.“I beg you, she is scared, she doesn't want me to leave,” she said as she pleaded for mercy.“I think I made the mistake of making you see her the other nig
Naomi PovLucian opened his eyes slowly as he stared around. He had another nightmare. This had been Constance ever since he got back that night. He had always seen Bruno whenever he slept in pain, crying out to me to help him, but every time he tried to help him, he just disappeared into the air. He sat up on the bed and stared around the room. It was morning again, but I could see how he couldn't stop thinking about all that had happened two days ago. It felt like it was real every time he thought about it.Travis knocked on the door as he walked into Lucian's room, where I stood close to him. He bowed his head as he greeted him before moving close to Lucian. “How are you feeling today master,” Travis asked with a smile on his lips.“I am very much better, thank Travis,” Lucian said, smiling at him. “I am glad you are getting better, sir,” he said with a smile on his face.“What about Marcus?” I asked, turning to him. “Marcus is good too, it's just that he is still a bit too we
Alexander's PovMadonna climbed up the stage majestically as she swayed her waist, seductively revealing her butts to the crowd. She then handed the documents to me on stage.I smiled, looking at Madonna. She must have thought that she was part of the girls that wanted to be sold off tonight,However, I knew her too well. She was indirectly scanning the room for a potential customer that would go down with her after the auction this morning. I grabbed the documents and lifted them up, showing the entire people in the crowd how authentic my document was.They all cheered on as they began to clap their hands loudly, no jokes. They were enjoying it all.I returned my gaze to the buyers again as I smiled, “This document, you should go through it, and sign under the category that you have fallen under,” I said, smiling widely.One of my subjects collected it from me and handed it to the man who wanted to buy Laura and Naomi for thirty million dollars.As soon as he was given the document
Lucian's PovAccording to what Naomi had told me, she had revealed that Travis had struggled to carry me on his back and as soon as he got to the bedroom, he dropped on the bed. Naomi also explained that she was in my room searching for some things when Travis dropped me on the bed. I knew she must have run quickly and held one so tight.It was exactly two hours since I was unconscious. I still laid on the bed without moving my body. Suddenly, I opened my eyes, and screamed out loud as I raised my head.I wasn’t in a coma, but I had still not slept like that for years, and it felt like as soon as my eyes opened, there was something that changed inside of me.My eyes darted around the room and began to pant out loudly. This was exactly when I literally saw the faces of the people that were around me. Most likely, I was able to recognize Travis and Naomi. “You should calm down Lucian,” Naomi said as she moved closer to me.Although I couldn't hear them well, it seemed like I was begin
Naomi's PovI had literally witnessed this every second till the break of the day as I stared at the clock in my room not able to get some sleep through the night. I was worried and I couldn't hide it.I was worried that something bad might happen to Lucian. I was worried that I didn't know what more Lucian was hiding from me. I was worried that Lucian still hadn't healed, and it was obviously a sign of danger.Furthermore, I rolled from one end of the bed to the other part as I tried to sway away the thoughts and get some sleep, but it wasn't just working.Not only that, but I wish I had gone along with them. It had been several hours since they had left the house, but there was no sign of their return. I had walked closer to the glass window in my room several times when I heard the horn of a car around.I had also been calling them several times, but they were not answering their calls. I had wondered how important the issue was that had left them not answering their calls. I had
Lucian PovThe man didn't speak a lot, it was just a few words. Although, I wasn't able to hear it clearly, However, I staggered and the next thing I saw was the man opening the door for Travis and me to get in.Well, I honestly should have been skeptical about the place, but I wasn't. It was just a relatable moment that someone knew there was nothing you could possibly do for yourself. At that point, anything was going to be accepted.As I walked into the room, I noticed that it wasn't just a room, it was something unexpected, just like the frontal view of the building looked ancient, but the inside of the house was a totally different thing.It was different. I couldn't describe it, but was confidently sure that it was different. I could still see even when my eyes seemed blurred at the moment. I also knew it was the effect of the poison that had caused me not to see well.I lifted my hands, as I tried to rest on some of the things around the room so that I would not fall off.I had
Alexanders PovWhat kind of game was this, who was playing games with whom ? I muttered silently as I looked at the man.“Who did you say you want?” I asked as I took a step closer, trying to hear the name he was going to call out again. “I want Naomi Stevens,” he pleaded as he smiled. The people in the crowd stared at me as they wondered what they were trying to say. They had all expected me to go in and get Naomi Steven. I stepped closer, scrutinizing the man. Naomi Steven had been sold to Lucian's Vlod; it was impossible for her to appear here.Yet, my gaze lingered on Laura, standing on the stage, her heart racing. This was a bad day, made worse by this crackpot's claim."I don't understand," I said, my voice firm. "What do you mean?"The man's expression turned serious, his tone aggressive. "You're not listening. Did you not see the records of her sale months ago?"I narrowed my eyes."I'm not blind. " I saw it clearly, the man said as he turned and let out a bark of laughter
