Naomi Pov

I stood in Lucian's embrace for a while, just breathing in the cold evening air and his scent, knowing I was safe in his arms.

When I later disentangled, I used the water to rinse the sour taste of vomit in my mouth. Lucian was sitting on a flat rock and when I was done, he motioned for me to join him, which I did.

We sat in comfortable silence, just taking in the quiet and serene atmosphere.

“I'm sorry I made you cry,” Lucian said, suddenly disturbing the silence. I looked over to him and noticed that he was apprehensive.

“It's okay. It's not your fault, actually. And I'm sorry for riling you up on purpose.” I also took the chance to apologize.

We fell into silence again before Lucian spoke. “But why did you try to rile me up tonight? I've been thinking about it over and over. It felt like you really just wanted to push my buttons until I cracked.”

I kept quiet, pondering the events of the evening. I really couldn't point out the reason for my behavior. It all boils dow

    Naomi PovI woke up the next morning feeling weak. It was to be expected though. I had expended a lot of energy and excitement when I went shopping with Emma, then the whiplash I got when Lucian had run off at vampire speed while carrying me. I knew it was all going to bite me in the backside sooner or later.I groaned as I got up, slipping my feet into the fluffy bunny slippers I had bought yesterday. Moving quietly, I entered the kitchen and fixed myself a cup of coffee. I carried it back to the room with me and I lay in bed as I sipped it while reading one of the books Lucian had gifted me.I was engrossed in the book I was reading and didn't know how much time had passed, until a knock sounded on my door. “Come in,” I answered, highlighting the page I was reading before turning my attention back to the door. Lucian strolled in, casually balancing a tray of food in one hand and a gift box in the other. My heart raced as I tried to guess what he had gotten for me this time around.

    Lucian PovI was in the middle of an online meeting with some investors when a text came in that the dress I had ordered was on its way to the suite. I quickly rounded up the meeting and sent a message to my secretary to follow up on the progress of the meeting until I got back to Russia. I didn't plan on leaving Hawaii anytime soon. It seemed like Naomi really loved the place and I decided to take a vacation of my own too. When was the last time I took time for myself? I couldn't remember. The doorbell rang, and I used my vampire speed to go open the door. I didn't want anyone to get there first. After signing the package, I collected the bag and made my way to Emma's room. She immediately allowed me in after I knocked. She looked nervous as I filled the small space. I know she was scared of what I would do to her for disobeying my instructions on leaving the hotel grounds yesterday. And the fact that I had told Travis to let her know that I'd deal with her later meant she had

    Naomi PovDinner was a dream come true. Lucian ordered a buffet and I tasted all the food that was brought to us. He really went out of his way.Right now, we were watching the city through the glass after dinner as we waited for dessert. Lucian had a glass of whiskey in his hand as usual. I had refrained myself from asking for the limousine, but I couldn't stop myself now. "Why do you always drink whiskey?" I asked him. He stared at me for a moment. He looked disoriented, like someone snapped out of a daze. "I have acquired a taste for whiskey. Not like it does anything to vampires like me, but it has slowly become an addiction." He answered before turning his gaze back to the scene before us.I was confused. "You said it doesn't do anything to vampires. Does that mean you can't get drunk by drinking whiskey?""Yeah. That was what I meant."I had so many questions at that point. If drinking whiskey didn't get him drunk, then what happened the first night at the hotel? How did he ge

    Lucian PovI got off the phone and turned my attention back to Naomi. I heard sniffles while I was on the phone with the commissioner in Russia. It seemed like our vacation was going to be cut short."Are you all right?" I asked, concerned about her. I didn't miss the way she had stiffened when I mentioned her birthday. What could have happened that would make her react that way?"I'm fine. Don't mind me. Anyway, who was that on the phone?" I didn't miss the way she tried to change the topic. I intended to find out what had made her cry, but for now, I would go along with the flow."It was business," I vaguely replied, not wanting to tell her too much about what I did. But it seemed she was not having any of it because the next thing I knew, she said, "I heard you mention Alexander Forkado on the phone. Are you working with him?"I couldn't veil the look of disgust and disdain on my face at her question. Why the hell would I work with a man as vile and immoral as Alexander? Forget th

    Naomi PovI flipped through some books in amazement while some caught my fancy right away. Lucian was being generous about letting me borrow them, and although I wanted to ask how he had access to this place, I decided to leave it be. It doesn't really matter anyway.Before I knew it, I had a stack of about twenty books in Lucian's arms. I had barely noticed it when he began to collect the books from my hands as I put aside the ones I found interesting and returned others I didn't want back to the shelf. I watched as he made his way to a table to set down the books before returning, and I realized in shock that there were already three stacks on the table. That should amount to around eighty books I had kept aside because they caught my fancy. How had I selected such a large amount without even noticing? As Lucian came back to my side, I fought back the urge to take more. I already have more than enough. I turned my back to the shelf to resist the temptation, but that was easier sai

    Lucian Pov“What the heck did you just do?” I saw the horror in Naomi's gaze as I chuckled softly.“What do you mean?” I asked her innocently, acting like I didn't know what she was talking about. In reality, I was just pulling her legs and she knew.“You know what I mean, Lucian. Why the heck would you lick stale blood? It's not even covered and only the fates know what kind of infection could have gotten mixed with it. Why would you endanger yourself like that?” I sighed as I looked upwards. I didn't even know where to start explaining. “Why don't I finish what I came here to do, and I'll explain later when we're on our way back to the hotel?” She huffed, crossing her arms over her chest, but agreed nonetheless, albeit reluctantly. I pricked my finger on the needle beside the altar and watched as a drop of my blood fell into the bowl.I knew what was coming next, and I probably should have warned Naomi because she shrieked as I started to glow, my feet levitating from the ground.

    Lucian PovUnfortunately, we had to leave Hawaii two days after I got the call from the commissioner in Russia. We had spent the next day after that at the beach and Naomi was feeling melancholic about leaving Hawaii, but I promised her we'd come back soon. I don't know how soon though, because work was already piled up and waiting for me back at home. From my business company to my duties as the head of the Russian coven to the undercover work I was doing for the commissioner. Everything will take at least months to finish. And let's not forget the fact that as I'm accomplishing them, more are piling up. The paperwork at the company was the least of my worries. I could use vampire speed to rush through it, but unfortunately, I couldn't speed up the time for the meetings. I'm sure are choked.Right now, I'm in the office of the commissioner. We had just landed, and I visited his office at night. “Still coming like a thief in the night, I see.” He commented, rubbing his tired eyes.

    Naomi PovI stretched as I opened my eyes, feeling the morning light on my face. I sat up and relished the relief at being in a familiar place, although I missed Hawaii. Emma burst into my room suddenly, and I looked at her in confusion. She was always polite, and it was out of character for her to just intrude into my room without knocking. Sure enough, she looked frantic, and I was sure something had happened to her. “What's going on?” I struggled to my feet to meet her halfway. She didn't speak, instead she thrust her phone into my hands, and I was shocked by what I saw. There was an image of Lucian and me at the beach. This was taken the day before yesterday when we had gone to relax by the beach before going in to pack our things. The picture was taken when Lucian leaned over from his lounge chair to brush my hair away from my face. The picture painted it to be romantic, but I can still remember the scene. ***I had been holding a burger and a cup of juice. I didn't want to

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.

    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.

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

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

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
