Alexander's Pov

The day was a cold one.

Not that I felt any of it, as my body was immune to the seasonal changes.

I smiled as I read the underworld news for the day.

It's been a week since I stabbed Lucian, but it appears that he has been spotted in a private auction organized by a few of my underworld friends.

They reported that he bought all the slaves at the auction and set them free in front of everyone. He marked them in front of everyone and warned all who were in attendance and the whole of the underworld that they were now his subordinates and if even one of them was targeted or hurt, everyone would have to answer to him.

"Bummer," I sighed as I grinned. "I had really hoped that the silver killed him."

I looked around my office as four guards stood on all four corners of it and pointed at the one on the far right.

"You, come here."

The guard stared at me with a bit of trepidation in his eyes.

"Me, sir?"

"You know how much I hate repeating myself, don't you?" I sighed. "

    Naomi's PovIt's been a month since Lucian's injury as we have both made full recoveries from the incident.Lucian became even more protective of me since that day and also much more involved in his work. I knew he was trying to get Alexander off my tail, and it worried me that he was endangering himself in the process. "You don't have to worry about Lucian," Deluna's voice startled me out of my reverie as she sat beside me, her pointy ears almost poking at my cheek. "How did you know I was thinking about him?" I asked. "You're seated in the garden on your lonesome and lost in thought," she explained. "There are only two things you would be thinking of. One of them is your alchemy and witchcraft lessons or Lucian. You're in the garden, but you aren't staring at the herbs, instead you're staring at the sky. It can't be alchemy, so it's most definitely Lucian."I stared at her for a bit and then sighed."I know you always deny it, but I need to ask you again. Are you sure you don't

    Lucian's PovI kicked my office door open as I stroked into the office. "What was the meaning of that call?! Call them back right now.""I can't reach them," he replied with an equally worried voice. "Whoever it was must have been using a disposable phone.""Fuck!" I yelled. "Why can't I get a moment of fucking peace?!"I could feel my chest tightening from the anger and worry I feel right now. I was angry at the people who had the audacity to kidnap women I already marked as under my protection and worried about the women's safety. Who knows what those bastards intend to do to them?!"What's going on?" Deluna asked as she walked into the office behind us. "I am as lost as you are," Naomi shrugged, but still had a worried look on her face as she stared at me."Lucian-""Shut up, Travis," I warned as I glared at him. "Don't you dare say a word."He stared at me in confusion for a few minutes and then nodded. "Of course. I will stay quiet."Naomi's worry was now replaced with curio

    Naomi's PovI knew it was wrong of me to interfere with Lucian's negotiations, but I couldn't help it. I couldn't let those women who lived the life I once lived suffer a fate as cruel as that. Not when they finally had a glimmer of hope."Are you insane?!" Lucian yelled as he ended the call. "What the fuck is your problem?!""You were going to let them die!" I retorted. "And you are some sort of savior?!" He hissed. "You are just as powerless as they are. Alexander and his cohort of bastards put a twenty billion dollar bounty on your head! Do you know what they would do to you?! Can you even fathom the torture they'd put you through?!" "I still won't let them die!" "Then, you are going to die!" Lucian yelled. "Why the fuck don't you get that?!" Those words calmed me down for a bit and gave me time to collect my thoughts before replying."They can't kill me. They need me. That's the only reason they would place a bounty on my head. They need me alive.""Of course, they won't kill

    Lucian's PovI never imagined that a single phone call could shatter the fragile calm I fought to maintain. The echo of that final demand, "Meet me in the Everclear Woods. Tonight."The voice on the other end was cold, unwavering. Even after Travis hung up, those words lingered in my ears. My mind was a storm of fury, dread, and desperate determination. Just minutes ago, in the warm light of my office, I had watched Deluna work with her arcane magic with practiced precision. The potion to suppress my rabid urges had been administered without hesitation, a temporary remedy for the dark side that always lurked beneath the veneer of my control. Naomi, unaware of the depths of my struggle, sat calmly as Deluna finished casting the spell over her forehead. Yet, even as she completed the spell, the incessant ringing of the phone threatened to undo our progress... I barely had time to process the call when Deluna interrupted my thoughts. "We need to talk," she said, her tone sharp and

    Alexander's PovI swirled my amber liquid round, watching as it stuck to the sides before sipping it down. The whiskey burned pleasantly as it slid down my throat."I know Lucian must have gotten my message by now," I chuckled as I swirled, my fingers tightening around the crystal glass."Don't you think it's too early to rejoice?" Bane, who had been leaning against the bar with his arms crossed, interjected, rubbing his bald, shining head, his dark eyes narrowing."Come on, don't be such a killjoy, Bane. Besides, Naomi is in our custody now.""Naomi? That's the slave's name?" Bane asked, his brow arched slightly.The way he said it made my jaw tighten. SLAVE... I hated that word coming from someone else's mouth, even if it was true. She belonged to me—only I had the right to call her that."Yes, Naomi," I said, swirling my drink once more before taking another sip. "The key to your redemption."Bane chuckled dryly at my words. "We will see about that."I leaned forward, placing my gl

    Lucian's PovTravis and Deluna's silence was deafening. I mulled over the message Alexander sent as I paced around my office. Of course, I knew it was him. He was the only one who could play such psycho-games. And as a reward, I set one of his factories on fire, killing everyone except one left alive to deliver my message to him. "Are you sure burning up his factory was the right thing to do?" Travis' gray eyes sank into mine. "Maybe that might anger him enough to kill Naomi and the girls." "For the girls, I don't really mind. But if he hurts Naomi any further, he'll have me to contend with." "Naomi already has a leg wound. I just hope that gets treated." "Wait, why didn't your teleportation potion work, Deluna?" She ran her hand through her hair before replying. "I didn't know it was going to happen then," she said, regret laced in her voice. "Well... well done. Naomi is not with us now, all thanks to you." "Wait, are you seriously trying to apportion blame right now?" Delu

    Alexander's PovI turned to the trembling guard before me, my grip tightening around the handle of my pocket blade. His eyes widened in terror as I locked onto his, his eyes pleading, but no, I had no room for mercy tonight. With a swift motion, I plunged my pocket blade into his tummy, twisting it deep. "B... Boss, why?" His voice came out strangled. Those were his last words before he collapsed onto the floor, struggling for air. The slaves shouted in horror as they watched him die. "Alright, may it never be said that I wasn’t a nice boss," I said, laughing. "So I will fulfill your last wish," I added as I neared his dying body. I leaned in, driving the knife into his side again, savoring the way his body spasmed with every word. "Why? Because you came back alive. You would have been better off dying with them," Pierce. "Why? Because you came bearing bad news, and you know how much I despise that," Pierce. I ran my bloody hands through my hair, taking a momentary pause. "Wh

    Naomi's PovI woke to the nauseating stench of this hell place, my head spinning, I guess from all the blood I lost. I couldn't even find the energy to sit up, let alone make sense of what had happened. Yesterday had been too much to process. Too fast, too brutal. Lucian… His situation was worsening, and the worst part was that he had hidden it from me. And then, there was the kidnapping. Me, dragged back into the devil's lair, just when I thought I was free from his clutches. I couldn't even bring myself to relive the fear I had felt at that moment. And after all of it, I had been forced to end the night listening to the screaming voices of the girls, their cries rising and falling. A cruel fate I was once subjected to and maybe now again. Their cries echoed in my head. They should be used to this.I swallowed the lump in my throat. Rape. Torture. The despicable things they'd made us endure… How could they live with themselves? I wished, oh, how I wished... I could save them,

    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
