CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE

Mackenzie’s POVI sat on the couch, my hands clasped tightly in my lap, the leather of the book burning against my fingers.How do I spill?I feel so scared because what if they turn out wanting to kill me too?I was trying to steady myself, but my mind kept racing, my heart pounding as though it were trying to break free from my chest. Lucas and Emilio were in front of me, their eyes filled with that same concern, that same confusion. They didn’t fully understand what I was telling them, but I could see that they were trying. Trying to process everything. Trying to make sense of what I had just uncovered.Lucas was the first to speak, his voice soft but steady. "Mackenzie, what exactly are you saying? You... you have Elyrian Blood?" His tone carried the weight of disbelief and confusion, but there was a thread of urgency underneath it, like he knew something big was about to be revealed.I swallowed hard. This was it. This was the truth that had been buried deep inside me, the th

CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO

Lucas's POV The loud bang made us all jump. My fork froze in mid-air as I turned toward the door, my heart skipping a beat. Standing there, without knocking or any warning, was someone I hadn’t seen in a long time.His sharp eyes scanned the room before landing on Mackenzie. He didn’t say hello or offer any kind of explanation. Instead, his voice cut through the air like a knife: "You didn’t think you could hide forever, did you?"Mackenzie’s face turned pale, her eyes wide with fear. Her fork slipped from her hand, hitting the plate with a loud clatter. I could feel the tension building in the room, heavy and suffocating. My chest tightened as I pushed back my chair and stood up. Emilio stood up too, moving quickly to my side."What are you doing here?" I demanded, my voice firm but edged with anger. "You can’t just barge in like this.""This isn’t your house, Lucas. I don’t need permission to walk in." He turned to me, a smirk forming on his face. It was a cold, calculated look,

CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE

Emilio’s POV“Lucas, this doesn’t make sense!” I said, pacing back and forth in the room. My hands were shaking, and I couldn’t think straight. “Why would your dad just grab Mackenzie like that? She was terrified!”Lucas stood near the window, his arms crossed. He looked calm, but I knew him well enough to see the tension in his jaw. “I don’t know, Emilio. He didn’t say anything to me about it.”“Didn’t say anything?” I stopped pacing and turned to him. “You’re telling me your father drags Mackenzie out of here, and you have no clue why?”He sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. “Yes. That’s what I’m saying.”“Unbelievable,” I muttered under my breath. My fists clenched at my sides as the memory of Mackenzie’s pleading voice echoed in my mind. She’d been so scared, and I hadn’t done anything to stop it.“Look,” Lucas said, stepping closer. “I’ll talk to him. I’ll find out what’s going on.”“Talk to him?” I scoffed. “That’s your solution? What about stopping him? What about doing somet

CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR

Mackenzie's POV My heart raced as the car bumped along the uneven dirt road, jostling me against the unforgiving seat. The coarse rope around my wrists bit into my skin, and the blindfold over my eyes only made the fear worse.Every sound—the crunch of gravel, the hum of the engine, the eerie silence of the surrounding forest—seemed louder in the dark. I had no idea where Donald was taking me, but I knew it wasn’t anywhere good.When the car screeched to a stop, my stomach twisted. The door flung open, and before I could brace myself, Donald yanked me out. My bare feet hit the rough ground, and I stumbled, the jagged rocks scraping against my skin. Pain shot through my knees as I tried to regain my balance, but he didn’t care. He just grabbed my arm, his grip bruising, and started dragging me forward.“Where are you taking me?” I demanded, my voice trembling but laced with defiance.The slap came out of nowhere, stinging my cheek and snapping my head to the side. My skin burned whe

CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE

Mackenzie's POV My heart pounded in my chest as I sprinted through the dense forest, the cold air burning my lungs. Every branch I passed seemed to claw at my skin, slowing me down, but I couldn’t afford to stop. Behind me, Donald’s furious voice rang out, each word laced with venom.“You can’t escape, Mackenzie! You think you’re clever, don’t you? But you’ll regret this!” How the freaking hell did I get myself involved with a psychopath.His shouts only made me push harder, my legs screaming in protest. Would I stop?No, never.I won't let him catch me again. I'm not that fragile.Fuck, shut it Mackenzie. You were human less than a month ago, they turned you into a vampire so you're weak.The ground was uneven, littered with roots and rocks that threatened to trip me at every step. I couldn’t stop. I couldn’t let him catch me. The taste of fear was sharp in my mouth, mingling with the metallic tang of blood from where I’d bitten my lip earlier.The trees blurred past as I ran, the

CHAPTER SIXTY-SIX

Emilio's POV "Do you think this road will take us anywhere?" Lucas asked, his hands steady on the steering wheel. I didn't answer right away. My mind wasn't focused on his question or the road ahead. Instead, my ears tuned into the music playing softly from the car speakers. The sultry melody teased the edges of my thoughts, and the singer's low voice carried lyrics that made my chest feel warm. “Can’t help falling into your fire, want to stay here forever, burning in desire,” the singer crooned. My fingers twitched against my thigh as I let the words soak into me. I stole a glance at Lucas. His jaw was relaxed, his mouth curved in a small smile as if he wasn’t aware of the heat simmering in the air. Was he playing this on purpose? My gaze lingered a second too long. His fingers tapped lightly on the steering wheel, his thumb keeping time with the beat. My lips twitched into a smirk. Lucas could play oblivious all he wanted, but there was no way he didn’t know what this so

CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN

Emilio's POV I shifted MacKenzie’s limp body in my arms, her head resting against my chest as her shallow breaths tickled my collarbone. The car was parked just a few feet away, but Lucas stood in front of it, arms crossed and eyes sharp as a blade.“Lucas, open the door,” I said, my voice low but firm. I didn’t have time for whatever he was about to start.Lucas didn’t move. “We need to talk, Emilio.”“Not now,” I snapped, trying to step around him, but he blocked me.“No,” he said, his voice hardening. “Now. This can’t keep happening.”“Lucas, I swear, if you don’t get out of the way—”“You’ll what? Keep avoiding this conversation? Pretend like we’re not running in circles trying to protect her from her own messes?” He gestured sharply toward MacKenzie, who stirred slightly in my arms.“Stop it,” I said through gritted teeth. “She’s hurt. She needs help, not your lectures.”MacKenzie’s voice, weak but laced with venom, broke through before Lucas could respond. “Why don’t you just s

CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHT

Mackenzie's POV I sat on the edge of the bed, my heart pounding so loudly it drowned out every other sound in the room. Lucas’s words echoed in my mind, sharp and cutting like broken glass.“Why do you have to be so useless? You’re just slowing us down.”The words had stung, lodging themselves deep in my chest. My fists clenched in my lap, and my stomach churned with a sickening mix of anger and sadness. I’d never felt so small. So unwanted. I kept my eyes fixed on the floor, but no matter how hard I tried to block them out, his words kept looping in my head. Each time, they cut a little deeper.Lucas didn’t even care that I’d overheard. Maybe he wanted me to. The thought made my throat tighten, and a lump of emotion threatened to rise, but I swallowed it down. Crying wouldn’t fix anything.When Emilio dropped me in the room and walked out without a word, I watched the door close behind him. The click of the lock felt like a final judgment, trapping me in this place where I didn’t

CHAPTER SIXTY-NINE

Lucas’s POV“Lucas, you need to listen to me.” Victor’s voice crackled through the phone, heavy with urgency. I gripped the phone tighter, the blood draining from my face. “What’s going on, Victor?”“It’s your father,” he said, his voice grim. “He killed Mackenzie.”My heart stopped, and for a moment, I couldn’t breathe. “What? What do you mean, he killed her? Why?”“I don’t have all the details yet, but it looks like a sacrifice. Your father, Donald… he’s gone too far this time.”A wave of rage and disbelief washed over me, so strong it nearly knocked me off my feet. “A sacrifice?” I repeated, my voice cracking. “What the hell are you talking about? He’s lost his mind.”“I’m telling you, it’s bad. He’s not even answering his phone. It’s like he doesn’t care anymore. I’m trying to get more information, but things are moving fast. This could change everything. Emilio… this is going to tear him apart.”I pinched the bridge of my nose, trying to calm the storm in my head. “I know it wil

CHAPTER SEVENTY

Emilio’s POVThe clearing was quiet, unbearably quiet. The only sounds were the faint rustling of the trees and the occasional distant call of some nocturnal creature. I stood there, unmoving, staring at the fresh mound of dirt. The moonlight poured down, pale and cold, illuminating the spot where my daughter now lay. Mackenzie. My Mackenzie. I had dug the grave myself. It felt like the only thing I could do for her now. The earth had been stubborn, as if the forest itself didn’t want to accept her. My hands were still dirty from the task, the skiYn raw and blistered, but I didn’t care. She was gone, and none of it mattered anymore. Her body was beneath the soil now, wrapped in the silver gown she had been wearing when I found her. I had carried her here in my arms, cradling her like I used to when she was small. She felt so light, too light, as though death had taken even her weight away. I knelt beside the grave, my legs giving out beneath me. The ground was cold and damp,
