Naomi's POV

The next thing I heard was the sound that was becoming very familiar after being in there for too long. The sound of the monitors beeping loudly and all I could do was to just relax and stop moving. Having been in a state where one's life and everything about one wasn't intact, the best thing that one could do for him or herself was to just take life as it came.

"She's not responding to treatment." I heard an unfamiliar voice say. I was tempted to mutter that I was awake and could hear them, but I decided against it because it was better that way for me than to tell him that I was alive. He might want to bleed me more.

The funny thing was that I wondered why they didn't know. The heart monitor should have been normalized by now unless there was something wrong that I wasn't aware of or something else that's stopping me from actually being awake.

"I need to feed. I don't care if she's awake or not. It's even preferable that she's under the meds because that bitch is a piec

    Lucian's PovThis was the most heady slave that I had been unfortunate to buy. She was the most stressful person I have had to tame and, if truth be told, she was just here for a few days and was already turning things around. While I was lenient enough, Travis felt like something was wrong with me. I saw it in his gaze, but he didn't have the guts to challenge me about it. They would perish.I stalked toward her. Challenging people was my favorite pastime. The only difference between us was that I was on top of the food chain while she was at the bottom, which she failed to realize. Her heart was beating fast as I approached, but she kept staring ahead, not breaking eye contact with the wall.When I reached her bed, I took her chin in my palm and stared at her with a smirk on my face. I hoped that she was ready for whatever was coming already because it was going to be a bit stressful and I wouldn't take long to make my intentions known to her. It wasn't just for food only, I was he

    Naomi's PovWasn't it weird that I found myself transported to a fine room which was beyond my imagination. "I was waiting for you." A voice spoke and I turned immediately.Emma was standing close to the door in a stiff way watching me and I felt a bit scared. Why the hell was she staring at me that way? "How are you feeling?" She asked me. I watched her carefully. "Are you talking to me?" I asked her and she nodded softly. "Isn't your master going to be mad at you for leaving him and what not? I don't want to be the reason behind your problem with your master," I replied.She shot me a blank look before coming towards me. I backed against the headboard as my eyes roamed over her face. "How's your neck?" She replied and I didn't say anything.My hand shot into my neck and discovered that it wasn't too painful, and it was surprising to see that I didn't have any form of bruise on my neck or what not."You're fine. I hear that you've lost a lot of blood," She said. "Yes, it's your bos

    Naomi's PovI was left to myself for the greater part of the day, hence I decided to find my way around the house. One of the limiting factors was the fact that I didn't have much time to be able to inspect the house. I just wanted to mark the bearing of the house so that I could run away one of these days.Continuing down the long hall, I turned to the right where my instincts told me that it would be. It turned out that I was right. As I kept on moving toward the length of the hall, I turned again and discovered a long staircase. One thing was baffling, silence stretched like a band over the house, casting its net upon it and almost suffocating me. What kind of life were they living here? Another shocking thing, the house was in darkness. Apart from the light coming from the window, the rest of the light was lit by an artificial supply. These people were walking corpses. I didn't think that I could live all the day of my life without seeing the sun and being normal, but I guess th

    Lucian's POVI watched how she crept stealthily out of the house and all the drama she was putting up with my pets. They weren't tamed, they only listened to my instructions, and they knew every member of the house, especially Emma. It was a tactic for people to become relaxed and misbehave so that they get bitten.Those lions should have attacked her the very first time that she attempted to move, but I guess they were also as intrigued as I was by her. She tried to make it down that far. I guess it was adrenaline at work."She should be happy that she's not yet killed." Travis muttered beside me and quickly ended that nonsense because of my glare. "Sir, what do you think I should do concerning the people that came a few days ago?" "Kill them all if they return." "Okay, sir." He replied with a wicked grin and I rolled my eyes at him. "I will see to it." He promised. Travis was swift to violence and I wondered where he was raised because it was concerningEven I, who was the head of

    Naomi's PovA slap woke me up from my sleep and I stood, "Wake up!" The person said. The hand was gravelly and hard. It was almost as though they lifted weights every day. I came in contact with a man who hated my guts and existence. He was my greatest enemy, but I wasn't his fan either, so it was a balanced equation. You're not thinking about running away, are you? My master is not around, so I'll do whatever I like with you.I thought that he was talking about sex and what not, but he scrunched up his nose, Who wants to be with a public hole? I'll kill you myself and plant your body close to the lions for them to devour. That way, your special wish is granted. He grinned and I stared at him. He was very callous, and I wished that I had never had the misfortune to meet such a cruel and wicked soul."You're a bastard." I retorted and he shrugged. "You're not even ashamed that you're working for a killer. I guess you're birds of the same feathers."He grinned wickedly at me. "I'm pro

    Naomi's POVI turned to see the person who was speaking. It was a female in regalia standing at the doorway. Her voice was commanding, almost as though there was nothing that could move her, and it was impressive to see this P.A or whatever he's called fold. From her stance one could know that she was powerful and this made me really happy. There were a few people who could actually command things and they happened that way. It was good to see that a lot of people who seemed like they didn't have any control actually did, but they were just waiting for people who were stronger or better than them to arrive.I stared at him with a smirk, at least a fellow woman was able to get him to shut up, which was quite impressive."Get to the room now." He muttered before walking out in anger. Well, that was his business because all I wanted was to be able to rest from all my labors, but it seemed like that was going to be a problem here.Now, onto the next agenda.

    Lucian's POVI was shocked and angry at her when she walked in scanty clothing. Women these days have become really shameless. Why would she be so comfortable in such an arena? "Why did she come here, Travis?" Travis shrugged. "Oh, she said you sent for her."I raised a brow at her lifeless body. Her drink was spiked just one minute after I turned my head. I wonder why she didn't leave immediately. What did she want to achieve? These strippers always wanted to have the attention of men. I guessed that it was like a drug to them because explain why certain things which were eyesores pleased them."The hell I did." Is that how desperate she was? I wondered. She shouldn't have thought that I hadn't been noticing her advances, but she was in for a ride if she thought that I was going to be one of her patrons.My friend chuckled when she walked in and saw my countenance. He even sent me a text with those human emojis. "You look bewildered. It's a good change from being tired," he had s

    Naomi's POVI rose abruptly when he glared at me and stared at me like he was about to cut my head off. I now saw what happened. My heart was racing. I guess he was having a problem with me coming into his office. The truth was that I wasn't even feeling any certain way because I just thought that it was the normal thing that was always happening."I'm sorry, I will just leave right now. I was thinking about..." I trailed off when I saw his stares. It was just like the way that I had imagined. This time around, I was the one at fault. To be fair, it wasn't my intention to snoop around, but as things are right now, I guess I had no choice than to apologize."I'm listening," he prodded, and I stared at him with semi-wide eyes. If it was even possible for me not to have the time nor the luxury that was attached to it, I would. The luxury that I spoke of was nothing but the one where I was able to walk about and finally go before him.I didn't know what was running through his mind, but I

    Lucian's PovYears had elapsed since Deluna’s fall, and despite the wounds of war, the world had begun healing. What once had been a country full of tyranny and fright lived with hope in its heart. Vampires, living under Deluna’s tyranny, were free at long, long last. And I, with Naomi, had sworn ourselves to seeing freedom stretch to each and every soul yet living in shackles. We fought together, forging alliances, destroying whatever of Deluna’s corrupt empire lay in its path, and providing refuge and protection to souls that lived for too long in misery and agony. And yet, even with all that we accomplished, the greatest transformation hadn’t been in the world at all—it had been in me. Naomi tamed my rougher corners, taught me in virtue of love, in hope, and most of all, in the fact that redemption existed. And I, seeing her sit out on our balcony, in sunlight and in gold, bathing in sunlight, I saw that my greatest purpose no longer lay in commanding a people, but in protectin

    Naomi’s PovThe battlefield hung in a dead, matted quiet. Once, with a reek of death and sorcery, but now with a mere whisper of wind, it breathed. The sky, which was shrouded in Deluna’s shadow, seemed lighter.I turned and looked around us, and saw the faces of my companions who fought with us. Some I recognized, scarred in battle, with looks of both loss and relief etched onto them. Others… Others were not with me.Travis.Alexander.Bane.They'd gone, some dead, and gone, whose fate I could not say. But one reality I could not deny is that those who fought with Deluna, who fought to maintain Deluna’s tyranny, died with her.Some of them, perhaps, still lay in shadows, but if ever again… They'd have to answer to us.I breathed out, a slow, deep one.Lucian, noting my hesitation, stroked my hair behind my ear, out of my face. His fingers were rough but kind, a reminder of battles won, of wars won, and of love won in choosing him."We did it," he whispered, eyes bloodshot and intent

    Lucian's PovThe seconds ticked in slow motion as I saw Naomi’s delicate form move towards me. The whole scenario seemed dreamlike, a nightmare I couldn’t awaken from. And then, in a matter of a split second, her form collapsed onto the ground. Everything else melted, my eyes refocusing onto Naomi's dying form at my feet. My heart thudded savagely in my chest, a thudding beat drowning out everything else. "No… Naomi…" I faltered, dropping onto my knees at her side, my shaking hands extending out towards her. “No, no, no. This can't happen.” I touched her face, and her face was dispiritedly cool to my fingertips. Something deep and suffocating took over, its talons closing in my heart. Her eyes shut, her mouth a little apart, but no sign of life moved in them. My voice died in my mouth, taken over with horror. "How far are you willing to go, Deluna?"A faint echo of laughter sounded over my head, Deluna’s mocking laughter, sharp and cutting and rough-edged, like broken glass. How

    Naomi’s PovThe battlefield lay covered in shadow, thick with smoke, burning wood, blood, and residues of lingering magic. Under my feet, the earth shuddered minutely, unsure whether this war had actually reached its conclusion. Deluna was a distance of a few feet, her black cloak fluttering a little in the evening breeze, her eyes squinted in observation of me. She yet seemed powerful, untouched by events transpired about her. But I could detect it now, the tiniest tremble of doubt in her eyes. She was starting to understand. Understand that she wasn't as unscathed as she long convinced herself to believe. I breathed in, slow and deliberate, then moved to speak. "What request?" Deluna questioned me, with a taint of distrust in her voice. I jerked my head, raising my chin a notch. "What way would you like to breathe your last?" Her mouth twisted in a cold sneer, but I could detect tension in her shoulder. "You can't do that," she taunted me. I took a pace in her direction. "I

    Lucian’s PovI'd long been convinced wickedness took a face and one I'd seen in both monsters and in men, too. But tonight, with dusk consumed and sunset gone, I saw an atrocity that challenged my definitions of wickedness and forced me to redefine them. I'd seen evil I could hardly have dreamed in my most fevered imagination.The sky wasn't at its radiant best, but one contrast alone remained: one silver glow of the moon painted everything with an eerie, dark radiance, and I could almost feel its vigor. I kept moving onward, a burning fury in my heart burning brighter with each pace I took. "Your face, moon," I whispered in a snarl of anger, "tonight, your face bore witness to my friend’s murder." Travis’s dying memories looped in my head forever: laughter, soft comforts, and a shocked cry of betrayal that took him from me. I hadn't seen him coming.Travis, a man who firmly insisted wicked souls bore a glimmer of virtue, lay dead, robbed of life at our hands through a wickedness I co

    Deluna’s PovDid I just kill Travis? The question echoed in my mind as I stood in the middle of the battle, blood on the floor. The taste of blood and regret was in my mouth, and I could barely breathe. The silence after the fight was louder than all the noise before.I staggered back, my limbs trembling as I tried to steady myself against a shattered column. Every heartbeat throbbed in my ears, a cruel metronome marking the passing of a moment I could never undo. The pain consumed me deeply; it was as though the very essence of my soul was being torn apart. I felt as if I might die from the weight of my own remorse.For a long while, I recalled our fight. Travis, even in his final moments, had pressed me with questions that now haunted my every thought. His eyes, full of anguish and bitter disappointment, burned into me as though searing my skin. I could still hear his voice in the clamor of my memories: "Why did you do all this, Deluna?" he had demanded, his tone a mixture of sorr

    Naomi's PovMy pleas were swallowed by the chaos around us. Amidst the din of battle and the cries of wounded men, I could only hear my own heart breaking. I remembered Travis’s promise from earlier, a promise made with a laugh and a spark of defiant joy. I remembered how he had vowed to come back victorious. And now, that promise lay shattered like glass on cold stone.Lucian looked into my eyes, and for a moment, the anger in his gaze shifted to sadness. "Naomi," he said softly, "we can't bring him back, but we can make sure his sacrifice wasn't wasted." His words felt like both a blessing and a burden. A reminder that this war's cost was counted in blood and lost love.The thought of Deluna, the traitorous witch who caused Travis’s death made me burn with a need for revenge. "Where is she, Lucian?" I demanded, voice trembling with a mix of anger and despair. "I must face her. I must know why she did this. I want her to answer for Travis’s death!"Lucian’s eyes darkened further, and

    Naomi’s Pov"Wake me up, someone, please wake me up!"My voice echoed through the pain, like I was calling out to a bad dream. I blinked at the bright light, tasting blood and sweat in my mouth. Everything around me was a blur of red and shadow. I could barely remember the morning, only broken memories of the night before the screams, the clash of steel, and the grief still twisting in my chest."Travis...?" I whispered, my voice breaking. My mind spun with disbelief. Travis Scott, my dearest friend, the one who had always been there to watch my back, to make me laugh even in our darkest moments, was gone. Gone, as if snatched away by some cruel fate. And all because of this cursed war and the betrayal that has splintered our lives. I pressed trembling fingers to my lips, tasting the bitter tang of my own tears. "How… how can this be?" My heart pounded painfully against my rib cage, each beat a reminder of the promise he had made earlier that day. I remembered the way his eyes had sp

    Lucian’s PovDeluna’s voice echoed through the hall like a death knell. With her dark eyes burning, and her words laced with venom, she had suddenly declared war in the grand dining hall. “Kill them all, bring Naomi to me!” she roared, her command reverberating off the bloodstained walls. My heart thundered as I took in the chaos. The hall transformed into a nightmarish tableau: broken bodies strewn across the flagstones, heads severed, and crimson pools of blood pooling around fallen soldiers.“Has she forgotten who she’s dealing with?” I spat internally, anger coiling inside. I was not merely a man. I was a rabid vampire warrior fueled by vengeance and duty. I could not let Deluna’s treachery stand.I stepped forward, my voice cutting through the din. “Deluna, face me!” I demanded, halting her advance with my challenge. For a brief, electrifying moment, her eyes widened in astonishment, as if she had not expected me to stand so defiant. It was then that I realized how much our fates
