Naomi's Pov

As I gazed at Lucian, I couldn't help but wonder why he had blood on his lips. On the other hand, I had started to feel a sense of worry, wondering if something had happened while I was away from the house earlier.

As I tried to speak, my eyes darted back to his lips, and memories of Deluna's words flooded my mind. I couldn't understand why I had suddenly begun to pay attention to her words again.

In as much as I didn't know Lucian too well, one thing was certain - he would never do anything to hurt me or put me in danger. At least, not as long as Alexander doesn't show up again in our lives.

Lucian's eyes twinkled as he looked at me, and I could tell he was expecting me to say something. For a moment, I didn't think he had read my mind, but I couldn't be sure.

"What's wrong, Naomi? You seem worried," Lucian asked, his eyes locked on mine.

I wasn't ready to ruin the moment I had planned, not even with Deluna's words still piercing my heart like a fierce bullet. I smiled

    Lucian's Pov I sat on one of the chairs in the living room, close to the mirror, and caught a glimpse of my reflection. I was still fuming that Emma hadn't knocked on the door before bursting in. It felt like she had ruined the moment I had been sharing with Naomi. I had thought that this moment was going to last forever.Just as I was lost in thought, I heard the knock on the door. The person knocked continuously, not minding that I wasn't responding."Come into the room immediately," I ordered, waiting for whoever it was to enter.Emma walked into the room, trembling, with tears streaming down her face. Her eyes were swollen, and it was clear she had cried all the tears out. As soon as she entered the room, she knelt down, bowed her head, and begged me to forgive her."You are toying with me, Emma," I roared. "Why on earth would you walk into the room unannounced? Do you want a death wish?" I moved closer to my table, near the bed, and picked up my wristwatch to check the time. I

    Naomi's PovAs I smiled at Lucian, who sat close to me, I could feel his piercing eyes glued to my face. A sudden rush of adrenaline coursed through my veins, and I felt my cheeks grow hot and red."I mean, I was just fine this minute, and now my cheeks are really red," I thought,I placed my hands on either side of my cheeks to cover my face. My eyes rolled in thought as I tried to process what was happening.I had a lot of questions to ask Lucian earlier, but it seemed like they were all vanishing from my memory one after the other. I had managed to hold onto one of the questions, though. If I needed to forget everything, I was never going to forget to ask where we were heading.I refrained from covering my cheeks and stared at Lucian again, trying my best not to have direct eye contact with him."Where are we heading to?" I asked curiously, smiling.Lucian laughed out loud, his eyes sparkling with amusement."You look perfect for the occasion. You shouldn't bother to know. When we

    Lucian's PovAs we danced, I could hear Naomi's heart beating in rhythm with the music and her heels. I smiled as I stared at her face, but I wasn't able to see her features clearly behind the mask. Her eyes, however, sparkled with love and adoration as she gazed back at me."You look beautiful, Naomi," I said, my voice barely above a whisper, as I smiled briefly.She didn't say a word, but instead smiled back at me. In a swift movement, Naomi turned twice, bending low, and I guided her with my hands as one of her legs touched the ballroom floor while the other pointed towards the ceiling. The music stopped abruptly, and the audience erupted into applause."This was incredible. I just wondered how she knew that the music was going to end at that moment, and honestly, I had been taken away by her beauty, not minding the music anymore", I thought,Within a minute, a loud clap from the audience echoed through the ballroom as beams of light flashed on us.I then pulled Naomi slowly up, h

    Naomi's PovI didn't bother to look at who had just spoken, but Lucian's voice yelled out in response,"Who dares to see me? I'm in the middle of something, don't you see?"His voice was filled with rage, and I could see his fangs showing through the mask. I knew things were about to escalate.I knew how Lucian got pissed off about just little things. He might as well make the young man a prey, if he wasn't careful. "I am sorry, Master Lucian," the man apologized, bowing his head.I could see the rage in Lucian's eyes, like a hungry lion ready to pounce. I knew I had to intervene before things went south."Lucian," I called out in a soothing tone, trying to calm him down. I took a step closer to him and slowly touched his arm, hoping I was doing the right thing.I just needed to see my heart at that moment, it screamed loud, I just hope Lucian wasn't going to do anything bad. Oh my, I want ready !!!Lucian's eyes sparkled like a lost diamond as he stared back at me, and I could notic

    Lucian's PovDrek's smile was infectious as he gazed at me, his eyes sparkling with warmth. We had been friends for a long time, despite my infrequent visits. "You're just as ageless as ever, Lucian. You look even younger than before," he said, extending his hand to greet me.I shook it, smiling briefly."You're back at this, man," I teased, trying to lighten the mood.I mean, Drek was a good man who at most loved the coming together of humans and vampires to live in the same world."What's the secret, Lucian?" Drek asked, his curiosity piqued as he laughed out loud.I took a sip of my drink, responding with a concise sentence."The secret is being yourself. That's just it" I responded. He nodded his head, giving me the impression that I wasn't totally telling him the truth."Of course, it is," I said. As we strolled through the mansion, Drek continued to smile, his hands clasped behind his back as we explored the mansion together. It was indeed decorated with a lot of ancient obje

    Lucian's PovI spun around, my eyes locking onto the speaker. Gaze, trying to read his expression, but the mask they wore obscured their features. I took a step closer, my voice low and even"Who are you? What do you know about Naomi?" I asked with desperation in my voice.My fangs ached to descend, my instincts on high alert, but I forced myself to remain calm, not wanting to escalate the situation. I needed to know what this stranger knew, and I needed to know now."Tell me," I demanded, my voice firm but controlled.The stranger's eyes gleamed in the dim light, and I sensed a hint of amusement in his voice just like he was enjoying it all."Follow me, Lucian."I hesitated for a moment, unsure if I should trust this mysterious man. But something in his tone put me at ease, and I decided to follow him, my senses on high alert, ready to pounce if necessary.As I trailed behind the stranger, I caught Drek's eye, and he raised an eyebrow in inquiry. I nodded subtly, indicating that I ha

    Naomi's Pov"S-Sebastian," I stammered, my voice barely audible.Lucian felt a jolt of surprise and anger. Sebastian? He was obviously Drek's assistant, the one who seemed so charming and harmless? I couldn't believe it.Lucian held me closer, trying to process this new information."What happened?" He asked, his voice low and urgent.My sobs intensified, and I could feel my body trembling in Lucian's arms. I held him tightly as my eyes scanned the room again.Lucian was trying to calm me down, but my mind was racing with questions and fears.What did Sebastian do?, he pressed, his grip on me tightening.My words tumbled out in a rush, my voice shaking with fear."He came out of nowhere, and tried to save Deluna from the one who took her away. He tried to fight him, but he was too strong," I said. Lucian I felt a wave of fury as he continued to hold me,“Who is Deluna?” He asked as he stared into my eyes. He knew I had not really associated with people and just today I was here, I ha

I felt her breath on my skin, and I knew that everything was about to change.I moved my hands slowly as I tried to unzip her gold-shimmering dress. She stared at me, her eyes shining like an angel. I slowly unbuttoned the dress and pulled down her zippers till my hands got to her bottom, I then proceeded to pull it off, starting from the dress's little

    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
