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

    Alexander Pov“You must have seen the look on his face when he looked at my face,” I said as I smiled, turning to Madonna.“I clearly saw it too,” Madonna said as she laughed out loud, opening her legs for me to see through.“I'm going to catch him, just like the way, I'm going to hold this right now,” I said as I moved my hands beneath her through her dress.Oh my god, she wasn't even wearing her panties, I smiled.Madonna was just too loose as my hands had gone into her smoothly without any break.“You are wet already, Madonna,” I said, turning to her with a smile.I withdrew my fingers and then put them in my mouth to have a taste of what I had been touching.“Yes, I am,” she said as she pulled up her dress again, making me have a view of the whole thing.“You amaze me all the time, Madonna, don't tell me, you want us to have it here in the car,” I said, with a high note smiling at her.“Of course, I do. I can have it here at any time, it doesn't matter,” she replied, moving closer

    Lucian's PovThis was the part of me that began to feel like a looser, it was a part that I hated. Just when I had decided to tell her everything, I just couldn't understand Naomi anymore. I had started to remember the words of Drek, and it felt like I had made a big mistake, but the truth remains that I was only trying to protect her.And now, I had just seen Alexander Forkado clearly after several months. The truth was, I knew Alexander could not get close to me, but I knew there were high chances that he would want to get to me through Naomi.It was so obvious that Naomi would not be able to fight for herself against Alexander. He was powerful, and he had a lot of bad and dangerous people around him.If there was anything, I needed to warn Naomi to be careful, and just stay in the house for the moment. I knew how dangerous Alexander was. His next move couldn't be predicted.In short, I knew Naomi too well. We had always spoken in the mansion. She would have just told me that she d

    Naomi's PovThe last thing I could remember was me taking a sip of the tea that Deluna had prepared. She handed the cup of tea to me several hours ago. As my eyes opened slowly, I could feel a slight pain in my head. Everything seemed blurry at first, I then lifted my head slowly as I looked around. It was Deluna's house.I held my head a bit as I tried to remind myself of all that had happened. I couldn't remember everything though. Just as I sat upright on the bed and looked around, the familiar bottles and potions were still on the shelves carefully placed by Deluna.I looked around and noticed some new bottles that were kept desperately on a new shelf that I hadn't noticed the last time that I was at her house. Just as I was about to put my legs off bed, I heard the beep of a phone close to me, just like a message had just popped in. I looked around, trying to see whose phone had beeped earlier. As I turned to the direction where I had heard the sound earlier, my eyes came in co

    Naomi's PovThis was really strange for the reasons that I didn't give my mobile number to anyone, and I wasn't sure anyone in the mansion had my number except for Lucian and Emma.Deluna and I exchanged glances as she nodded her head, encouraging me to answer the call. I stared at the screen again.The room was filled with the sound of the phone. I was still skeptical. I didn't know if I needed to go ahead to answer the call or just decline the call. I hesitated for some moments. I fought with my thoughts. Just as I was about to answer the call, the phone's persistent loud ringtone stopped, and the room was silent again.“Why didn't you answer the call ?,” Deluna asked as she looked at me, her eyes filled with questions.“I don't know, it's a strange number, I just couldn't answer it,” I replied.“That could be someone you know, you should have just answered the call first,” she responded.I sighed as I looked at her. I just didn't know what to say again. With all being said, I had

    Alexander PovAfter my arrival at my underground cage, I needed to take some rest and I had to instruct my subjects to make sure everything was intact. We have a bidding to do tomorrow for some of the girls. I had instructed that the girls be treated nicely just for the night at least.“You were given a simple task to do, and then you just messed everything up. " I think it's high time I started replacing every one of you, one after the other, cause it seemed like you aren't useful any longer,” I yelled as I hit some of my workers.“We are really sorry,” the workers said as they knelt down to plead for mercy.“Madonna, I had expected you to put everything in order all by yourself, even if some of them acted this way” I looked at Madonna as she buried her head in embarrassment. “I'm sorry, I was too carried away by the activities of the day, that I forgot to carry out your order,” Madonna replied. I rebuked them one by one, knowing they wouldn't execute my instructions flawlessly wit

    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
