Naomi's Pov

Lucian had gotten a call from Bruno's brother the next day, and he had accepted that they would give Bruno a befitting funeral, which Lucian had started making arrangements for. He had told his brother to inform their families and friends, including the people that Bruno had worked for.

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. At times, Lucian told me that there were cases where he had forgotten that Bruno was dead.

To fulfill his promise, Lucian made sure that he did everything possible to give Bruno a b

    Naomi PovLucian and I walked over to where Bruno's brother and sister were as we greeted them really well. Lucian had assured his brother that he was going to do well to make sure that Bruno's younger sister never lacked anything. We spoke to them for a while before heading back to the building where some prayers were being said for Bruno.As we stepped out of the cemetery, Lucian and I walked in silence, the weight of the funeral still lingering. The sky, once gray, now gradually brightened, symbolizing hope amidst sorrow.We approached the community center, where a gathering had been organized to comfort those grieving. The room buzzed with murmured conversations, the air thick with empathy. I felt overwhelmed, yet drawn to the warmth of shared support.Lucian and I found seats near the back, observing the crowd. Faces I'd never seen before mingled with familiar ones, all united in their grief. I closed my eyes, seeking solace in prayer."Dear God," I began, my voice barely above

    Lucian's PovI lost control of myself again as I started to feed on Naomi's blood. It really tasted so sweet. It had been a while since I had tasted Naomi's blood. Even if I tried to control myself, I still found myself drinking from her. Was this even going to stop? The vampire rabid was really causing me more harm, but I thought I had healed up already.I didn't know what jerked me back. All of a sudden, I lobbied back as I let my fangs in. I stared at Naomi's eyes as she pleaded for help. Immediately this happened, I got back to my senses as I began to stare at Naomi.“I am sorry Naomi, I'm really sorry Naomi. You should forgive me. " This will never repeat itself” I said as I buried my face in embarrassment.Naomi didn't say any word for the moment as I began to see some tears escape her eyes.“You still haven't healed from this,” she said as she pointed at me. I myself wasn't sure about this. I had thought this had gone away with the poison I had struggled to fight with a few d

    Naomi PovI could not take my mind away from the whole thing that had happened between Lucian and I, it was going to be another problem between both of us which made it impossible for love to rule.I was scared that this might hurt if it continued that way, and it might be a reason for separating us.I sat on a chair close to the mirror as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I then touched the exact place where Lucian had bitten me on my neck.It still hurts me so badly, just like his fangs were still there. This time I got annoyed. I don't know why Lucian had really proved stubborn this time.Asking Deluna about the whole situation might just help us instead of going through pain and shame. I stood up quickly and walked to the wardrobe to change into something better.I needed to see Deluna, and it really must be quick. I was ready to take any step to uncover the solution to this problem.I took a bag close to me and headed downstairs, without talking to Emma or Lucian's boys.

    Alexander's PovMadonna had made some arrangements with the guy she had told me about in the neighborhood. I had given him a specific location to meet up for some conversation. I drove my car to one of the local restaurants to meet up with him. We had some conversation and afterward, I gave him a picture of Naomi telling him that I needed her urgently, If there was anything, I gave him two days to get her. We had spent almost four days since the buyer had agreed to the deal. I had also promised to give him a good amount of money if he was able to get her for me in the next two days.As soon as I left the restaurant, I headed back to the car, and that was when I noticed that I had a series of calls that I missed.When I stared at the screen, it was Aaron the buyer that had called severely. Well, he obviously didn't know that I knew about him now since I ran a background check on him.I didn't want to be quick to return the call, so I got into the car as I waited patiently for him t

    Lucian's PovI got back into the car and drove back to the house. My mind was flooded with a lot of thoughts. This was a part of me that I couldn't understand, and I couldn't say why all of this had turned out the way.Was it that Bruno had just died for nothing? What was the essence of the ritual if it was going to end that way? What was the issue with going to see Deluna?Lilith had just told me that she could heal me, but had advised me to see a witch called Deluna, “Why was everyone pointing at Deluna like a savior?” I thought. Now at this point, it dawned on me that I needed to see her, probably she might have a cure for all of this that I was going through.But I couldn't understand if she was as powerful as everyone claimed she was. I just didn't know why. I didn't want to meet up with her. I didn't feel safe going to her. I don't know why, but when I think about her, I sense danger.It would have been preferable if Lilith had been able to treat me of this my dark side, becau

    Lucian's PovTravis drove since he was the most familiar with the person we were going to see, but I was still quite curious. I have a plethora of problems to deal with and having Naomi in danger. In addition to that, it just seemed too much to bear.Travis seems to understand that as well. He is quite supportive and I appreciate that. “Are you scared?” He asked as he drove. His eyes remained glued to the road, like he didn't want to see the look on my face.“What do you think?” I scoffed. “I'm cursed and the woman I am trying to protect is in danger anyway. Would you be scared if you were in my shoes?” “Yeah,” he shrugged. “I'll be fucking terrified.”“Then you've got your answer,” I smiled as I stared at the road. “I assume you will be used to this curse after living with it for two centuries,” he remarked. “I mean, you managed fine until now, didn't you?”“Do you know what it's like to live with this curse?” I sighed. “I can't love a vampire. Loving a vampire would mean not ha

    Lucian's PovThe cabin felt hotter than it did earlier as my heart raced with anticipation. The rabid curse has plagued me for all of my life with not a single solution in sight, but I've just been given a way out. A solution to the most prominent smear in my life. I almost lost control of my emotions as I spoke. I did my best to not seem eager and didn't even crack a smile as I stared at her.“I am trusting that you can back up the word you just said,” I said coldly. “I hate being disappointed.”“I imagined you'd be happier after hearing that there was a solution, but that's not a problem,” she smiled. “The point remains that I can help you.”“How do you intend to?” I asked.She sighed as she took a sip of her tea.“The rabid curse is quite rare. Yes, it has been used before, but it's been in such few cases that they're almost non-existent since there are no records of them.”You used the word, “Almost”, I observed.“Yeah,” she nodded. “You're an existing case, aren't you?”“There a

    Lucian PovIt's been a week since my conversation with Deluna. She's been quiet since then as well, and I was slowly getting anxious. Naomi had also been quite anxious about my silence. She knows there is something wrong, and I don't deny it, but I have strictly refused to tell her. A knock on the door of my office brought me back to reality as I opened my eyes and stared at the door.“Come in, Travis.”The door opened and Travis walked in with Naomi in tow.“Good day, sir,” he bowed as he strolled over to a seat and sat down while Naomi stood at the door, glaring at me.“What is the meaning of this?” I asked with a sigh. “She said you've been avoiding her so she made me come here with her,” he replied. “There was nothing I could do to stop her.”“You are a vampire, and she's human,” I palmed my face. “You can outrun her.”“She was waiting in front of your door when I arrived,” Travis shrugged. “You know that she's pretty smart.”“Would you both stop talking like I'm not here?” Nao

    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
