Lucian Pov"Are those women drugged?" Naomi asked. I later found out she was called instead of Greene, the fake name she had given me at the hospital–asked me as she stared at the scene in confusion."No," I replied as I also watched the scene unfolding. It was kind of a sacred worship for us vampires. We, the leaders in authority from all over the world, gather together every five years to discuss what we think should be changed and other important details. We've been doing this for so many years now that it has become a tradition, even though there was nothing new to report or change.And this ceremony in particular was the most sacred. We were all here exposing our flaws to one another as we fed reverently. Blood keeps us alive, and the purpose of this was to see it as more than just a substance we take in but life. "I don't understand. Isn't the bite painful?" Naomi asked after a few moments. "In most cases, no." "So you mean that every time you have bitten me, it could be pai

Naomi PovI tilted my head for Lucian to take a bite and, after a few seconds of not feeling anything, I looked back up at him. He looked so nervous and my heart almost melted. Was he scared of doing it wrong? But then I remembered where I was and who I was with, and gathered my thoughts together. He didn't deserve my pity, I just wanted this done and over with. I was pretty nervous myself. He finally leaned in, and I stiffened, waiting for the heart-wrenching pain that usually followed his bite, but it never came.Instead, a delicious sensation flooded through my body and I sighed as Lucian pulled me closer to his body by my waist, while his other hand cupped the other side of my face. My legs turned to jelly and I grabbed hold of Lucian's shoulders to steady myself. "Oh God!" I moaned and slid my hands around his neck. Maybe when we leave the stage, I will be embarrassed, for moaning, but right now, it feels like all my reasoning has fled from me. Lucian finally retracted his t

Lucian PovI closed the door after me when I walked out, leaving Naomi with Vladimir. I blocked out all the sounds as I tried to control the rage I felt at the thought of him drinking from her.It was confusing. I have never had any problem sharing my dates with other vampires at these balls. In fact, I had shared my dates once or twice with some of the Vamps before, passing them around with no regard for their lives.The Vamps always had this entitlement to drink from other vampires' dates, and it had never disturbed me before. So why did I feel a pressing need to snap Vladimir's head?I sped away from the door, making my way to the garden at the back of the hall. I didn't want to hear any sounds Vladimir would make as he enjoyed her blood, because he would.I cursed softly at the possessiveness I felt towards Naomi. Never have I felt a need to be this possessive before. What did this mean?Just then, I heard a scream that jolted me from my thoughts. Naomi!!!I sped back to the room,

Naomi PovI woke up in the darkness and blinked a couple of times, trying to adjust my eyesight. My head throbbed and as I tried to get up, a sudden yet intense pain shot through the side of my neck up to my brain and I yelled out. Immediately, the light was switched on, and I saw Emma through the corner of my eyes, sleeping by the side of the bed in a chair. I wondered who turned on the light and I discovered it was Travis. He looked at me open-mouthed and I wondered why. I prayed silently that he would not start his petty insults now. As much as I enjoyed retorting when he insulted me, I wasn't in the mood right now. As I looked up at the ceiling, trying to ignore him, I realized I wasn't in my room. I tried to turn my head, but I suddenly felt a sharp pain and I winced, tears filling my eyes. I touched my neck and felt something like a foamy plastic around my neck. What the heck is going on?My body felt like it had been run over by a truck and I really needed some..."Water."

Naomi PovI have been healing slowly and steadily these past few days. It's been two weeks since I woke up, and I have finally gotten rid of the awful cervical collar. My neck is still not fully healed, but the doctor told me I had to exercise it so it wouldn't get stiff. I roamed around the house with lack of nothing better to do, the lion trailing lazily after me. I no longer fear them as much as I did before, maybe because I have had a close brush with death at the hands of an evil vampire. Or should I say vampires, since Lucian was also an accomplice in a way. Surprisingly, I haven't seen him since he stormed out of the room the day I woke up. I had thought he would come and demand blood immediately. I was well enough, but he seemed to be keeping his distance. Maybe he does have a conscience after all. Lazily checking out all the rooms in this big house, I came across an old library. I gasped in awe at the rows upon rows of books on tall shelves. I'd definitely need a ladder t

Lucian PovI pulled Naomi with me to the garden at the back of the house. Her thoughts were so loud, all over the place. I could hear her panicking in her mind, and I wasn't even trying to listen.She was terrified of me. Once upon a time, that was what I wanted, but now, I can't bear the thought of her being scared of me. We got to the garden and I slowed my steps, letting her take in the view. She had stopped panicking and although there was still a small part of her that was afraid of my intentions at the moment, her attention was divided between her thoughts and the beautiful scenery."I used to come here a lot when I was young," I blurted. She jumped slightly as if just remembering that I was there, her eyes narrowing slightly as she questioned my intentions about telling her about my life. "Oh," she responded. That effectively shut me down. I was not much of a talker, naturally, but I wanted to coax her into speaking.I didn't even know what was wrong with me. I had found her

Naomi Pov“You can feed from me,” I couldn't believe those words had come out of my mouth until I saw both Lucian and Travis looking at me in shock. I had watched Travis trying to convince Lucian that he couldn't enter vampires’ squabble because he was too weak, but he was clearly being stubborn.And I kinda understood Lucian. They were burning his life's work to the ground. Of course, he'll be agitated and want to get there as soon as he can.Since Lucian insisted on going immediately, and knowing he would die if he went without my blood, I did the only logical thing I could think of. “But you're not fully healed yet. I don't want to cause you more pain,” Lucian argued.“Then you can bite my wrist or somewhere else. As long as you feed before leaving,” I told him, moving closer to him.I offered him my wrist but he hesitated. “Go on,” I urged. “Are you sure?” He didn't look convinced.“Do you want to go save your warehouses or not?” That seemed to be all he needed as he grabbed my

Naomi PovMy heart raced as I followed Lucian out of my room. We climbed up the stairs and stopped when we came to a black door.I didn't know where the door led to, as I had never been to this part of the house, or should I say mansion."Make yourself comfortable," Lucian told me as he offered me a seat. I still wasn't used to this polite side of him, but I guess people change once you get to know them.I know I also wasn't behaving the way I did when I first got here. I'm calmer now and, dare I say, comfortable. Was that a good thing or a bad thing?I looked around and noticed the room looked like a study. There was a little collection of books on a small shelf in the corner of the room and I watched as Lucian pulled out the book he had taken away from me in the library, and placed it carefully next to a row of books. So he had been carrying it with him all day."Welcome to my study, Naomi," he stated, sitting on the office chair in the room.I smiled and sat more comfortably on the

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
