Cecilia POV

"What? The flight is canceled?"

"Yes. Ashfall's airport was bombed two months ago and hasn't been repaired yet," the airport staff explained politely.

It was my oversight to rush out without checking the flight schedules. Now, I was left with no option but to drive to the train station.

The station, aged and worn, had a train that wouldn't depart until 5.00PM, meaning I wouldn't reach Ashfall until the following evening at 7.00PM.

'You should get a pilot's license. At this rate, the battle will be over by the time we reach there,' Nana quipped.

There was actually a helicopter back at the manor. Mark had once promised to teach me to fly, but I never got the chance to wait for that day to arrive.

"Fine. I promise I'll get my license this year," I said. Settling into the train's sleeping car, I flipped the blanket, only to recoil at the sight of yellow stains. With a grimace, I tossed it aside.

The air inside the carriage was stifling, a pungent mix of sweat, feet, che

Your blood stinks!" the vampire lifted her head and grumbled.At that moment, recognition dawned on me. It was exactly who I thought."Zara?""Cecilia!"We both shouted each other's names in surprise.Zara Patel was a schoolmate of mine from Cumber School.A few years ago, she was turned into a vampire by an ancient noble vampire family and became one of them. Since then, her age was forever frozen at 18. When we first met, I was 16 while she was 18. Now, I was already 19, yet she was still 18.Our first encounter wasn't exactly a pleasant memory.When I first had my shift at 16, I couldn't control Nana and accidentally smashed all of Zara's makeup.

"This isn't your first time, is it? How many of you are there?"He stayed silent, arrogance written all over his face.I delivered a sharp slap across his cheek. "Stop the tough act. You're nothing but a coward, preying on helpless women!""We only wanted the money. No one was supposed to get hurt. We didn't expect vampires and shifters like you to be riding on some run-down train. "Even the cops won't care. They'll lock us up for a while, and that's it. How about you just let us go?" pleaded another robber, now cowering on the ground."What about the mother and daughter who begged for their lives? What did you do?" I crushed the robber's hand under my boot with a satisfying crack."They're just ordinary, worthless humans. Why are you protecting them?" Gunnar finally spoke."You're part

    Julian POVTwo nights ago, after Cecilia told me over the phone about the collusion between the Western Kingdom and the Northern Territory, I had my people dig into Ariel's background.Oddly enough, even though Cecilia said they were classmates, there was no record of Ariel ever enrolling at Cumber School. Her digital footprint was a complete blank.Was Ariel even real?Hogan suspected Cecilia might be concocting this story to incite conflict between us and the Rogue King of the Western Kingdom, perhaps as revenge for her family. But I didn't see her as that type of person.If Ariel was indeed the top-tier hacker Cecilia described, erasing her online existence would be well within her capabilities."Have the scouts we sent near Ashfall reported back yet?" I queried Mario, reclining in my chair at the base office."We sent three, but nothing suspicious has surfaced so far," he replied, lighting a cigarette. The smoke drifted up lazily."Keep looking.""You really trust Cecilia?

At this moment, it all still seemed surreal to me. I couldn't believe that she was in the room next to mine now, and I could easily meet her.'Can you please stop eavesdropping? You're behaving like a real freak!' Zevin scoffed at me."The hell! I'm not eavesdropping, okay? It's not my fault that the soundproofing here is bad!"'Liar! You clearly perked up your ears and eavesdropped just now. Why don't you just make a hole in the wall? That way, you can even peep at her.'Just as I was about to retort, Cecilia mind-linked me from the next room. "Why is there no bathroom in the room?""This place used to be a workers' dormitory, so there's only one communa

My legs weakened, threatening to buckle under the intensity of the sensation. Julian lifted me effortlessly by the waist and carried me out of the bathroom. Instinctively, my arms wound around his neck, and my fingers tangled into his long, black hair.After carrying me back to the room, he laid me gently on the bed. He unwrapped the towel from me like he was opening a gift. I shrank back somewhat sheepishly under his fiery gaze."Relax. You traveled for 24 hours by train to come to me, so let me reward you properly," Julian whispered in my ear.He took my nipple into his mouth and sucked it gently. Then, he held my ankles with both hands and spread my legs. His kisses slowly trailed down along my breast, waist, and stomach. A warmth spread through my lower body, urging me to clamp my thighs together. However, he held my legs firmly."You're so wet," he purr

He winked at me before putting on a robe from the closet and opening the door.I quickly pulled the blanket over myself, but the room was filled with the unmistakable scent of our lovemaking.When Julian opened the door, a man stood at the threshold. He was about half a head shorter than Julian but boasted a more muscular build, appearing to be around the same age.The room's simplicity offered no place to hide, and our eyes met the moment he looked in. He quickly shifted his gaze away. "What is it?" Julian asked."I called you several times, but you didn't answer," the man complained. He sneaked another glance in my direction before turning back to Julian. "She needs to leave first. We can't talk with her here.""Come in. This is Cecilia. Whatever it is, you can say it in front of her," Julian said. Then, he looked at me and introduced the man. "This

Thus, it was easy to guess that Julian had intentionally placed my room next to his.Zara's curtains were drawn, and Lamar was busy installing new ones for her."She said the light was too bright, and it was affecting her sleep, which was why she made me take down my curtains and put them up here. What kind of selfish friend is that?" Lamar complained to me."It's just a curtain! Why are you being so petty?" Zara threw a pillow at Lamar. "Show me the video," I demanded, cutting straight to the chase. Small talk was the last thing on my mind."It's pretty brutal, so brace yourself," Zara cautioned as she retrieved her phone and navigated through several screens. A chorus of screams bled from the speakers as she handed the device to me.The video displayed a grim scene: several men were chained in a dark, empty room. They were naked and being beaten.

After a modest lunch at the barracks, Julian's subordinates ushered the apprehended werewolves into the room."Where was this video shot? Who are the people being mistreated?" Julian approached them, playing the video. Instantly, their heads drooped, the earlier smugness on their faces giving way to dread."It was shot in a prisoner camp. The victims are war captives from the Western Kingdom," replied one of the taller men. He glanced nervously at Julian, quickly adding, "It wasn't me! I didn't film it. Alex did— he's one of Freeda's guys. "Just two days ago, he was boasting online about how tough he is. I couldn't stand it and snapped at him, and that's when he sent me the video.""Do you think abusing war prisoners is something to boast about?" I interjected sharply. I was appalled that such brutes could be considered soldiers."No, absolutely not," the shorter man

But Amy, she definitely is no angel!""I'm just helping her find a new job and giving her a chance." I calmed Zara down. "Just move to the room next to mine if you don't want to see her.""No way! I'm not interested in third-wheeling you and Julian!" Zara curled her lip.Zara also heard Amy and Ellie insult me at the bar a few nights ago. For that reason, she had been regarding Amy with disfavor. I could fathom Zara's hostility toward Amy. Still, since she had been helping the refugees these past few days and hadn't witnessed Ellie's tragic death, she didn't understand my desire to help Amy.If truth be told, I wasn't that noble. I simply wanted to do something within my power to make myself feel at ease.The days that followed were busy yet peaceful. Most importantly, I saw hope resurfacing on the faces o

    Cecilia POV"Oh, thank you." Julian casually slid the cufflink into his pocket.I swiftly pulled a long face. In my mind, I pondered how Julian's cufflink ended up in Rhea's possession. Although a cufflink wasn't a particularly personal item, she couldn't get it without physical intimacy. In fact, I could smell her scent on the cufflink through the pocket."Have you and Rhea known each other for a long time?" I mind-linked Julian after walking out of the military prostitutes' barracks."Yeah, but don't get me wrong. Nothing is going on between me and her," Julian quickly explained."Like I care!" I quickened my place huffily and left him behind. Based on their conversation earlier, it sure sounded like something did happen between him and Rhea."Mario, take the three of them to a new barrack." Julian sent the others away. Then, he caught up to me and grabbed my arm. "Cecilia, are you angry?""No, I'm not." I pretended to respond calmly. In reality, a surge of rage came over me.

It was as if they were begging for a helping hand that I couldn't give. In the end, the scene in my dream changed, and I became the one getting chained and whipped.I woke up with a start, and my body was drenched in sweat. For a moment, the torture I felt in my nightmare seemed to be real.Nonetheless, I couldn't shake off the feeling that this nightmare wasn't just my brain playing tricks on me. Instead, it served as a warning and a reminder."Julian, how many military prostitutes are there in the camp?" I rushed to Julian's office after getting up."I'm not sure. Why do you suddenly ask about this?" Julian put down the document in his hand, walked to me, kissed my forehead, and calmed my emotions."18," replied Mario, who stood on the side. "Oh, wait. It's 17 now.""I think we should a

For her safety, I decided not to push her away.Then, I gave Vahn a look, signaling him to cuff Alex.Cecilia stood beside me. She had a cold expression on her face as she looked down at Alex with her arms crossed.As for Alex, he showed no sign of fear. His fierce and flickering eyes shifted back and forth between us. It was as if he was already aware of his fate, considering he didn't even try to defend himself."Did you kill Ellie?""So what if I did? What are you going to do about it?""You think you can just walk off after taking someone's life?" I growled."She's just a prostitute!" he retorted and spat on the ground."Alex, you truly are beyond redemption. There was no point in me thinking so highly of you before!" Even Vahn couldn't help but chastise Alex."For your information, you seem never good at judging one's character." Cecilia rolled her eyes at Vahn before ask

    Julian POV"Alex? Is he Freeda's subordinate?" I frowned. "He hasn't returned since last night?""That's right." Mario nodded. "We haven't been able to reach him. Do you want me to bring Freeda over for questioning?""Her again? How much trouble will she and her subordinates cause?" I slammed the table in anger. "Who are the other two? Investigate them as well.""One is under Alpha Cecilia's command, and the other is Alpha Ethan's subordinate," Mario explained while glancing at me and Ethan."Let me see which brat it is! I'll teach him a lesson!" Ethan rolled up his sleeves and was furious. Then, he assured me, "Don't worry, Prince Julian. I won't show any favoritism. If it turns out that one of my men is guilty, it's because I failed to discipline him. I'll take responsibility and accept the punishment."On the other hand, Cecilia didn't seem concerned about the other two. Instead, she walked over to Amy, who was sitting in the corner, and asked, "Amy, do you know Alex?""Yes

    Julian POV"Doctor, can you estimate the time of death?" I asked."Judging by the body temperature and its condition, she must be dead for about 5 to 6 hours. Since it's now 9.30am., she likely died between 3am and 4am." Then, the doctor pressed on the body and showed us the livor mortis."See? The marks disappear quickly, which means the body is still fresh.""If that's the case, Cecilia definitely has nothing to do with it. I finished work with Mario around 1 A.M. last night and returned to rest." I cleared my throat and looked at Cecilia. "I was with her last night. She couldn't be involved in this."Cecilia looked at me in shock. Then, she mind-linked me and said, "Why did you lie? We weren't together last night. This has nothing to do with me. Yet, you're making it look like you're covering for a suspect. If this lie is exposed, it'll only make me look more suspicious."Before I could respond, Amy quietly questioned, "But she could've snuck out while you were asleep...""We

    Julian POVAs Amy took me to the location of the body, I mind-linked Mario to tell him to bring the camp's doctor along.The body was in an abandoned warehouse next to the camp. It was less than 30 meters from the camp gate. When I arrived at the scene, I realized it was far more horrifying than I had imagined."She was injected with a large amount of wolfsbane and hallucinogens. The fatal injury might have been the tearing of her lower body, internal organ damage, and excessive bleeding," the doctor said with a sigh. Then, he continued, "This is just pure sadistic murder. However, there's no sign of semen in her body, nor any fingerprints on her. The killer is a professional one."Shortly after, a scout was assigned to investigate the case. Alas, he also found no clues after examining the body for a while."What were you and Ellie doing last night? Who did Ellie meet before she was killed?" I asked Amy."Ellie and I went to the bar together. I returned to the camp early becaus

Brave, intelligent, and responsible—""Enough about that. When are you coming back to Black Stone? Your mother misses you dearly." Hogan cut me off before I could finish listing Cecilia's strengths."I need to stay here to coordinate the rebuilding efforts in Ashfall. I can't leave just yet.""I'll send the experts myself if that's all it takes. There's no reason for you to—" Hogan's tone turned stern. "I know you're staying for her. She's doing well, but don't think that means she'll become the Luna of Valdora. I'm giving you one month to wrap things up and return!""All right."After ending the call, I let out a breath of relief.

    Cecilia POVI stared at him, a hint of disbelief flashing in my eyes. "You mean to say you can't help at all? If it weren't for Freeda, your dear wife, these people wouldn't even be refugees in the first place! Don't you think you owe them some compensation?"Freeda interrupted sharply, "This isn't about refugees. This is about you playing the hero and trying to make yourself look good. Just because you have money and influence now doesn't mean others can throw money around recklessly."I blinked, taken aback by the malice in her tone. "This isn't about showing off. It's about saving lives, about helping people who have lost everything in the war. This isn't some competition."She stood, crossing her arms, her eyes narrowing as she faced me. "Oh, isn't it? You're here, putting on this grand fundraiser, expecting everyone to line up and donate. It's nothing more than emotional blackmail."My heart pounded, and a surge of anger rose within me.
