Emilio's POV "What did you just say?" I asked Lucas as anger and hatred overwhelmed me."We are not doing this Emilio. I'm sorry" He apologized. Not because he wanted to, because he felt that would make me feel better."You dare tell me this is the reason why Red would want to kill me? Have you forgotten you brought this one me?" I asked Lucas in anger."This is not the time for love arguments. You need to look for a away to take care of all the mess you caused without alerting your damned father shout us.I and Lucas's direction swevered to the door to see who was talking."Vikram..." Lucas made a low growl and she star d at Vikram with bloodlust."I didn't cause this, you did. The moment you decided to get lust from a human and most importantly our enemy." Vikram raised his hands in the air like he was surrendering and I any accusations."Your enemy who's now one of you." I reminded."You're not and will never be!" Vikram shouted. "You're an outcast. Don't you dare see yourself as

Lucas's POV I pulled out my phone, the screen illuminating my face in the darkness. Vikram's name flashed on the screen, and my heart sank. His calls rarely brought good news."Lucas," Vikram's voice was firm, laced with an undercurrent of urgency.I tensed, my grip on the phone tightening. "What is it, Vikram?""The Master wants to see you," Vikram replied, his tone devoid of emotion.A shiver ran down my spine. The Master's summons were never trivial. Something was amiss, and my instincts screamed warning."When?" I asked, already knowing the answer."Now. Come to the old warehouse on 5th and Main." Vikram's words hung in the air like a challenge.I hesitated, my mind racing. What did the Master want? The silence between us was heavy with unspoken threats."I'll be there," I said finally, resignation etched in my voice.Vikram ended the call without another word, leaving me with more questions than answers.I glanced at my watch, the ticking seconds echoing my racing heart. Emilio

Emilio's POV I woke up to Lucas's warm breath on my skin, his chest rising and falling with each gentle snore. Our legs were tangled, and his arm wrapped around me, holding me close.As I gazed at his peaceful face, a nagging thought crept into my mind.How can Lucas be so calm about my father?The man who slaughtered his family, leaving Lucas with a burning desire for revenge.I knew Lucas's past, the pain and anger that fueled his quest for vengeance. It didn't add up. Lucas, the man who had dedicated years to planning his revenge, couldn't just let it go.Not because of me.Not because of our relationship.There had to be more.Lucas's eyes fluttered open, and he smiled, his gaze locking onto mine."Morning," he whispered, his voice husky.I forced a smile, trying to shake off my doubts."Morning."As we lay there, the morning sunlight casting a warm glow on our skin, my mind raced.What was Lucas's true intention?Was he using me to get closer to my father?The thought sent a shi

Lucas's POV I woke up early, feeling excited for our vacation. Emilio was still sleeping, so I quietly got out of bed and started getting ready.As I was packing my bag, my phone rang. It was one of my trusted guys, Victor."Lucas, we have a problem," Victor said, his voice serious."What is it?" I asked, immediately alert."Operation Nightshade," Victor replied. "It's a setup against you and Emilio."My heart sank. "What do you mean?""Someone's been planning this for months," Victor explained. "They're using Emilio's father to hunt you down, and they've got evidence to expose Emilio's secret to the world."I felt a chill run down my spine. "How did you find out?""I hacked into their system," Victor said. "I saw the plans, Lucas. They're going to use Emilio's mother against him, and they've got a recording of Emilio confessing to Alex's death."My mind was racing. This was bad."Where are they?" I demanded."They're tracking your every move," Victor warned. "They know about your va

Vikram's POV I stared at my phone, my mind racing. The Master's words echoed in my head."Vikram, we have a problem. There's a group of people out to wipe out our entire vampire race."I gripped my phone tightly. "What do you mean? Who are these people?" Aside from Emilio's father, I don't know of anyone else."We don't know," The Master replied. "We've tried gathering intel, but they're ghosts. No one knows anything about them."I frowned. "What do you need me to do?""We need Lucas's help," The Master said. "He's the only one who can help us track down these unknown enemies."I nodded, already dialing Lucas's number. But it went straight to voicemail.I tried again. Still, no answer.A shiver ran down my spine. This wasn't like Lucas. He always answered his phone.I tried reaching his right-hand man, but his line was off too.And when I tried calling Emilio, there was no response.Something was off. I could feel it.I tried calling Lucas again, but it was like he'd vanished into th
