Lucian's Pov

Gratitude filled my heart, reminding me that home is not just a place, but a sense of belonging. Family comes first, and in their love I find my strength.

Also, in the warmth of family, I'd discovered my true haven. Joy and gratitude filled my heart as I embraced every moment and every love.

We gathered around the table, and the meal began. Travis's loyal friends had accompanied him to the mansion, and the atmosphere was lively.

Naomi walked out of the room, looking troubled. She returned to her seat, but her appetite was nonexistent. I watched her, sensing her distress, yet remained silent.

Her eyes seemed lost, her gaze drifting between the food and the floor. I knew Naomi valued her independence, but something was really wrong. I began to wonder what secret she had harbored,

I wanted to offer comfort, but my words felt trapped. The tension was palpable, yet I remained still, observing the unfolding dynamics.

Naomi's silence was deafening, her unease contagious. The ro

    Lucian's PovBruno was kept in a dark room, though the room was dark and cold, but I could see his figure as the light showed a bit on him through a small opening.Some of my subjects and I stood at the entrance of the room. Immediately we saw Bruno. The other guys went around to scan the area and see if some of the bad guys were still around.We were calculative in a way of not just barfing into the room. Bruno sat on one of the chairs, but it seemed like he was unconscious, he couldn't move nor talk, just like he wasn't hearing us.“Bruno, Bruno, talk to me” I yelled as I stared at him, trying to see if there was anything lurking around the corner.I gestured my hands to some of my subjects, hinting at them that we needed to go into the room, though it was a long dark room, but we were literally not scared.We were ready for the worst-case scenario. I moved slowly as my other subjects followed me behind.However, Travis, Marcus and some other guys had gone to scan the environment, m

    Lucian's PovI stared at the floor as I realized that one of my subjects who had quickly run in front of me to save me from the danger had dropped on the floor. A ball of tears formed in my eyes, I just had to endure the pain myself.I knelt down close to him trying to see if there was still a chance or probably hope for him to live again, but I guess it was late, his breath was faint. It was going to take a lot of time before we could get somewhere he could even be treated. Oh my god, this is actually a bad time. I screamed as I touched him.He was bleeding too much and I just knew that there was no hope for him. My eyes hardened as tears tried to escape from it. Travis and Marcus still scanned around to see if there was more danger lurking around. Travis immediately moved close to me and broke the arrow that had struck me earlier at my back. Though I couldn't feel it, I was bleeding a little, it was obviously nothing to me, because I was going to heal the next minute. Just at t

    Naomi's PovI sat down on a chair in the dining room for lunch, I then took a bite of the cheese and savored the taste. Honestly, I had been too carried away to notice how far I had come, who would have thought that I would find love and also be loved dearly.I can remember that night I was sold. Though I had preferred to be sold out than to stay in that hell called cage, but I had never thought that I would be sold to someone as good as Lucian. I smiled, holding the fork and knife as I tried to cut another piece of cheese, when I heard a loud sound close to the door of the mansion.The distance between the door and I were several steps away, but I clearly heard the sound. The moment the sound died down, I heard the footsteps of people running towards the door, just like feet who were running against their opponents. I righted myself as I stared at the door, trying to discover what was exactly wrong. I couldn't chew the remaining cheese that was in my mouth as I was ready to run, if

    Lucian's PovI staggered like a man who was drunk as I tried climbing the stairs back to my room. Naomi had wanted to follow me up, but I had yelled at her to stay back.It was not like I wanted to shout at her, but I didn't want her to feel burdened. I had actually not realized what was really going on. Normally, I was supposed to heal, but I didn't know why it didn't. Secondly, I was feeling a crucial pain in the would which was unusual of me.As I walked, my feet felt so heavy, but I managed to put myself through and entered into my room. As I did, I locked the room and slowly sat on one of the chairs as I gasped for air, unsure of what was going on. Well, I hadn't seen this before, and it was just suddenly that I had been going through a lot lately. As I rested on the chair, I pulled off my clothes slowly trying to get a proper view of the injury. I could feel my hands getting weak too, but I couldn't just say why it was that way, but it was obvious that there was definitely so

    Naomi's Pov“Lucian, are you alright? Can you hear me,” I asked, standing close to Lucian and waving one of my eyes very close to his eyes, to confirm if he was able to see.Honestly, I didn't know what else to name it, but I could say that Lucian had been groaning in pain while closing his eyes tightly. He opened his eyes slightly as he tried to get up. I hurriedly helped him out to sit well on the bed.He stared around looking like someone who was lost in the midst of something, or someone who had been in a coma for days.I wondered what had happened as I continued to stare at him. I didn't want to throw questions at him, And just as I had promised him earlier that I was going to get back to check on him, and break the door if he didn't respond.Moreover, when I had gotten to the door earlier, I had knocked on the door, but he still didn't respond. When I called his name, I tried calling out again, but there was no response still.Like I said, I had decided to open the door myself

    Lucian's PovI stormed out of the room, not minding if Deluna was on her way to the house. I made sure I endured as I got down from the stairs and headed towards the sitting room.When I got there, the doctor was still there treating Marcus and Bruno.“How are they doing?,” I asked, turning to the doctor to find out what the problem was.“They are responding to treatment, it's just that, Marcus seems to be getting frail by the hour, it wasn't the same thing that struck Bruno. Marcus is different,” the doctor said as he moved closer to me. The truth of the matter was that I was beginning to ask myself a series of questions regarding the attack earlier on. We didn't see the faces of our attackers, neither did we know who had sent them. And another thing that got me surprised was how they were in possession of things that were this dangerous. I pulled my clothes a little bit, pointing to the wound just at my back for him to examine.“Take a look at this?,” I said, pointing at my back,

    Lucian's Pov“And the truth is, I don't have any idea of anyone who is behind this. Although Alexander is alive, Naomi had told me, but I am not sure if he is the one. Well, he is known to be around dangerous people,” I said. “Who is Alexander?,” Drek asked, as curiosity piqued.It felt like he was hearing the name for the first time. Who doesn't know Alexander in this century? I asked as I looked back at Drek who sat close to me. “You meant Alexander Forkado?,” Drek said as he turned to me.“Yes, Alexander Forkado, the famous drug lord,” I repeated as we both exchanged glances. “How on earth are you connected to Alexander? He is a very dangerous man,” Drek said as his eyes widened.“He sold Naomi to me, he wants to take something dear to me, which I can't give or, better still, he obviously won't get,” I said. “I promise that I'm going to deal with him. If he claims that he is smart, I'll make sure I make him understand that I am smarter,” I said as I hit my fist on the table.“

    Naomi's Pov The truth remained that Lucian was killing me slowly, since he had started acting this way, he wasn't giving me a chance to talk to him and neither was he telling me the truth. I had sobbed on my bed for several hours, as my heart had begun to ache badly. I didn't know what else to do. I had told Deluna not to bother coming again, but to be honest, everything I did was to make sure that Lucian was safe. Furthermore, I sat on the bed as I continued to sob silently. I wished Lucian was going to listen to me, but it was not just working. The truth was that I was fed up, and if there was anyone who was hurting me at the moment, it wasn't Alexander but Lucian. As I said on the bed, I wiped my tears slowly and swallowed my saliva, trying to ease my aching heart. I sighed, closing my eyes for a few seconds before standing up. I walked slowly to the drawer, and sat on the chair opposite the mirror. I stared at the reflection of myself in the mirror and saw how battered 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
