Lotus PovI woke up with a start and immediately felt a wave of panic wash over me. My heart was pounding in my chest, and my eyes strained to see through the complete darkness that surrounded me. I tried to move my arms, but they wouldn't budge. That's when I realized my hands were tied tightly behind my back.I struggled to break free, but the ropes were too tight. They dug painfully into my skin, making me feel helpless and trapped. I tried to calm myself down and think rationally, but it was difficult. I couldn't remember how I got here or who had brought me here.As my eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, I realized that I was in a small, windowless room with no lights. The air was stale, and the silence was eerie. I could hear my own breathing and the sound of my racing heart in my ears. It felt like I had been left there to die.How had I ended up in this room? Who were my captors? And most importantly, what did they want from me?I tried to scream, but the cloth gag in my
Seth's PovI had been away on a business trip when I received the call from Damon, my right hand man, friend and trusted confidant. Damon's voice was shaking as he told me the terrible news."Lotus has been kidnapped," Damon said, his voice barely above a whisper.I felt my heart drop to my stomach. "What? Who did this?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady."We don't know yet," Damon replied. "But we're doing everything we can to find her. The police are involved, and we're reaching out to our contacts to see if anyone has any information."I could feel the panic rising in my chest. Lotus was my everything, my reason for living. And now she was missing, possibly in danger. I felt like I had failed her by not being there to protect her."I need to come back right away," I said. "I need to be there, to help with the search.""Of course," Damon said. "I'll make arrangements for you to come back as soon as possible. But try to stay calm, Seth. We'll find her."I hung up the phone and
Lotus PovI woke up with a start and immediately felt a wave of relief wash over me. My heart was pounding in my chest, and my eyes strained to see through the dim light that surrounded me. I tried to move my arms, but they wouldn't budge. That's when I realized my hands were tied tightly behind my back.I heard footsteps approaching, and my heart rate picked up again. But then I heard a familiar voice calling out my name. "Lotus? Are you in here?" It was Seth's voice. I couldn't believe it. Was he really here?"Seth!" I tried to call out, but my voice was weak from being gagged for so long. The door opened, and Seth rushed in. He quickly untied my hands and removed the gag from my mouth."Lotus, are you okay?" he asked, his voice filled with concern."I'm weak and hungry," I admitted, feeling the baby inside me kick with hunger. "They left me to die here."Seth helped me up, and I felt dizzy. The room spun around me, and everything went black.When I came to, I was lying in a comfort

I lifted my hands placing them on his shoulders.His hands went further up on reaching my brassiere he cupped both my boobs with his hands. I moaned some more urging him on.

Lotus's PovI turned a corner and saw a figure in the distance. Panic set in, and I froze. Was it the Mastermind? Was I about to be kidnapped again? As the figure got closer, I realized it was only one of the guards. He looked at me curiously and asked if everything was alright. I nodded, trying to hide the fear in my eyes.The guard continued on his patrol, and I breathed a sigh of relief. But the feeling of unease lingered. I wondered if the Mastermind was watching me right now, biding their time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. I knew I couldn't let my guard down, not even for a second.As I continued my walk, I thought about Seth. He had promised to keep me safe, but was that enough? Could he truly protect me from someone as cunning as the Mastermind? I knew I had to trust him, but it was hard after everything I had been through.I finally made my way back to my room, and as I sat down on the bed, I felt a sense of exhaustion wash over me.

I quickened my pace, trying to assess the situation.As I got closer, I saw that it was only one of the guards. Relief washed over me as I approached him, and he looked at me curiously, asking if everything was alright. I could sense his concern and knew that he, too, was on high alert after everything that had happened.As the guard continued on his patrol, I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. The Mastermind was still out there, and we had to stay vigilant at all times. Lotus's safety was my top priority, and I couldn't let anything happen to her.As I walked, my thoughts turned to Lotus. She had been through so much, and I knew that the fear and trauma of her ordeal were still fresh in her mind.

Lotus's PovThe sight of the figure pointing at me made my heart race. Who was it? Was it someone trying to harm me? I was starting to feel paranoid. I quickly closed my window and locked it. I then made my way to my bed, but my mind was still racing with thoughts. Who could it be? Was it someone who had access to my room? I had heard about people being able to disappear into thin air, but I never believed it until now.I sat on my bed, thinking about what to do. I decided to call Seth, but then I remembered that he had told me not to call anyone. I hesitated but then decided to take a chance. I dialed Seth's number and waited for him to pick up."Seth, I saw someone outside my window," I said, trying to keep my voice steady."What? Are you sure?" Seth asked."Yes, I saw a figure standing in the dark corner pointing at me. And then it disappeared," I said, my voice trembling."Stay calm, Seth. I'll be there in a few minutes. Don't open the door for anyone, okay?" Seth said.Lotus hung
Lotus's PovDamon and I walked into Seth's office, and I could feel my heart racing with every step. I was anxious about the letter we had found on the wall, and I couldn't wait to hear what Seth had to say about it."Seth, we found a letter on the wall," Damon said as he handed the piece of paper to Seth.Seth took the letter and read it carefully. His expression was unreadable, and I couldn't tell what he was thinking."What do they want?" I asked, unable to contain my curiosity any longer.Seth didn't say anything for a moment. He just sat there, staring at the letter."Please, Seth, tell us what's going on," I begged.Finally, Seth spoke. "Lotus, you need to go back to your room and not get bothered by what's written on the wall. I'll handle this.""What do you mean, 'handle this'?" I asked."I mean that I'll take care of it. You don't need to worry about anything," Seth said, his voice firm."But I was kidnapped, Seth. I can't just ignore this," I protested."I know, Lotus. And I
Seth's PovDamon, you are nothing but a traitor. I firmly declared, "Today, I will put an end to your reign of terror and defend those you have injured. You thought you could attack innocent people and get away with it.Damon scoffed, his haughtiness audible in his tone. "Seth, are you really thinking you can defeat me? You believe that you can stop me?Damon, stop talking. I said, determination blazing in my eyes, "It's time to finally put an end to this.Suddenly, Damon's assurance slipped, and he lurched, obviously shaken. He asked me, "What have you done to me, Seth?" with confusion in his voice.I showed my trump card with a wicked smirk on my face. "Yes, I used a needle you were unaware I had when we were battling to inject you with a lethal poison. Any vampire can be killed by it. I took it out of the drawer next to my desk for study. You didn't know it was there, did you?As I persisted in confronting Damon, his cries for mercy were unanswered. Damon, yeah, I see. You can
~Seth’s Pov~"Welcome, sir," Damon greeted with a polite tone. "I thought you weren't coming tonight."Ignoring his pleasantries, I led Damon into my study room, my expression a mix of amazement and anger. The room provided a sense of privacy, allowing us to have a conversation without interruption.As we settled in, I took a seat and fixed my gaze directly on Damon, his curiosity evident in his eyes. The weight of suspicion hung heavy in the air, leaving him wondering why I had called him in for a discussion."Is everything alright, sir?" Damon inquired, his voice laced with genuine concern. His demeanor conveyed a mix of anticipation and confusion, awaiting my next words.Silently, I continued to study his face, searching for any signs of deceit or hidden motives. The tension in the room grew palpable as the silence lingered, each passing moment fueling my growing suspicion."Why are you staring at me like that, sir?" Damon's voice held a note of confusion. "Is everything alright?
Seth’s PovLotus and I exchanged glances, our eyes brimming with determination and concern. We couldn't help but feel a sense of dread as we said goodbye to Kassandra, knowing the risks she'd face on her own. We had no choice but to press on and complete our mission.The dimly lighted trail led us through a succession of subterranean tunnels beneath the estate as we followed the secret channel. The air felt stale, and there was a subtle odor of wetness. Our footsteps echoed softly, creating an unearthly atmosphere."Amelia, you mentioned earlier that you knew who the mastermind is," Lotus said, her eyes narrowing with suspicion. Please inform us. We need to know who our opponents are."Amelia paused for a while, her face filled with a mix of melancholy and determination. "I can't keep it a secret from you any longer." Damon is the mastermind."I exclaimed, a wave of astonishment and treachery washing over me. "Damon? But he's my most trusted ally and confidant."Amelia gave a sad n
~Seth’s Pov~I felt relieved to see the familiar faces as Lotus entered the room. One of the mansion's maids was standing next to Lotus, her face a mixture of resolve and worry. I was left wondering why she went with Lotus rather than Damon, whose presence I had grown accustomed to."Lotus!" I yelled as a wave of relief overcame me upon seeing her. However, a burning question that had been on my thoughts ever since her unannounced arrival forced itself into my consciousness.“Seth, are you okay?” Lotus asked in a concerned tone. “What did she do to you?” "How did you find me?" I asked. My voice was mixed with thanks and curiosity as I queried.Lotus looked at me with a wry smirk on her lips. Seth, I'll tell you everything about it later. However, let's just say I had some assistance from someone you know," she said, her tone suggesting a secret."Amelia?" My gaze shifted to the maid who had followed Lotus on this risky rescue expedition as I questioned. I was intrigued by her prese
Seth's PovWe got to her apartment and I was really amazed. I gushed, unable to contain my real admiration for the exquisite interior decoration, "Wow, your place is amazing."Kassandra grinned in appreciation of my response. "I'm grateful, Seth. I gave making a warm and inviting space a lot of thought.I cast a quick glance around, observing the tastefully decorated rooms and neatly selected furniture. "I am aware. It's incredibly trendy and hospitable. You have a wonderful eye for design.She spoke with a hint of pride and smiled. "I've always enjoyed creating aesthetically pleasing yet comforting homes. It resembles my personal retreat.I smiled and nodded, enjoying the ambiance of the venue. "There's no doubt that this seems like a haven. a location where you can unwind and rest.I was signaled by Kassandra to have a seat on the cozy couch. Make yourself at home, please. Would you like something to drink, please? Perhaps some wine?"I sat down on the comfortable couch and sank int
Lotus PovBeing a vampire is a wild ride, let me tell you. The hunger for human blood is something else, like a craving you just can't resist. It's like smelling the most irresistible strawberry juice, the kind that instantly refreshes your body and makes your mouth water.I can finally see why Seth used to act all weird around me when we first met. He would cover his nose or keep his distance, trying his best to control his urge to sink his teeth into my delicious neck and drink me dry.Can you imagine? It's like trying to resist the most tempting dessert when it's right in front of you.But hey, I don't blame him. I've come to understand the power of our vampire instincts. It's like this constant battle between wanting to embrace our true nature and trying to resist the urge to harm the ones we care about. Seth's restraint and self-control are something I truly admire.And you know what's the best part? We're in this together now. We can navigate this crazy vampire world side by s
Seth’s Pov.I noticed Kassandra sneaking glances at me while I mingled at the party. So, I decided to talk to her and show interest in the event and my outfit."Hey there," I greeted with a friendly smile. "Your dress looks amazing! I really like it."Kassandra smiled back, clearly flattered. "Thanks! Fashion is my thing, you know. I'm obsessed with it.""I totally understand," I replied, sharing her enthusiasm. "Fashion is a great way to express yourself. It's amazing how clothes can say so much about a person."Kassandra nodded, her eyes sparkling. "Exactly! Fashion is like art. Your clothes can show off your personality and creativity."We laughed together, enjoying our conversation. "That's so true," I agreed. "Fashion is its own form of art. And you clearly have good taste."Blushing, Kassandra said, "Oh, you're too nice. But seriously, where did you get that suit? It's really stylish."I smirked, seizing the chance to pique her curiosity. "Well, it wasn't easy, but I found this
Seth’s Pov"I appreciate your efforts, Damon. Thanks for securing the invite," I expressed my gratitude, carefully tucking the invitation card away."Sir, it wasn't a walk in the park. I had to dish out four gold bars to get my hands on it," Damon revealed."You went above and beyond, Damon. You can head back to the mansion now," I instructed, signaling him to depart."Hold on a second... Did he just say he splurged four gold bars on whatever it is you're hiding?" Lotus interjected, her voice laced with astonishment."That's a hefty sum! What on earth could be worth that kind of investment?" she probed further."All will be revealed in due time. But for now, let's not delve into it. You know your insatiable curiosity, Lotus," I teased."Well, you know me too well. It's in my nature to be curious," she retorted playfully."Quite the character you are, Lotus. Anyway, let's head back to the mansion before nightfall," I suggested, reaching out for her hand. However, in a surprising turn,
~Seth's Pov~A maid came into my study, her face flushed with fear. "Sir, Lady Lotus has gone into a frenzy in her room, screaming and threatening anyone who comes near her," she said.Fear washed over me. This was unusual for Lotus, and I sensed something was up. I followed the maid without hesitation, my heart beating in my chest. As I walked into her room, I was met with turmoil and confusion."Lotus, what's wrong?" My voice was filled with concern as I inquired."I'm not sure what's going on with me. I'm starving, and nothing seems to fill me up... "I need human blood," she admitted, her voice shaking.My heart fell as I realized the extent of her anguish. I had to comfort her and find a way to help."You don't need human blood, Babe." I believe in you, you have the strength to control this," I comforted her, seeking to calm her rushing thoughts.Then an idea occurred to me. Perhaps a fresh technique might relieve her stress and allow her to rest."Why don't we go hunting together
