Chapter: Chapter 55Lucas’s POVSilence. Nobody spoke. John’s face had gone completely pale. “That’s impossible,” he whispered.“One person can’t erase an entire race.”None of us believed our own words. Because the journal was right before us.Written by Mr.Grim Reaper.And if Felicia truly wiped out the vampires…Then Phoebe wasn’t traveling with her mother…she was traveling with a monster.A sudden cold swept through the room.The journal flipped rapidly on its own.“That’s not normal,” Aurora whispered, taking a step back. Then, a page turned on its own.An invisible ink made new words.Too lateMy brows furrowed. Too late for?Aurora grabbed my arm. “Lucas…we need to leave. Now!”But I couldn’t move. Because one sentence was forming at the bottom of the page. The girl belongs to her.My heart dropped.Was it referring to…Phoebe?Then, we heard footsteps approaching. My body went cold. “We’re dead meat,” Aurora whispered. “Guys, hide,” I said, my voice barely audible. I hid under the desk.

Chapter: Chapter 54Chapter 54 : The Journal filled with secrets Lucas’s POVIt had been two days. Two days without Phoebe. My wolf and I were losing it. Each second without her felt like I was breathing in fire. The room was as silent as a graveyard, the air thick with tension. “So what’s the plan?” Aurora asked.I sighed, my fingers pushing through my hair.“I-I don’t know.”“Eric did say the answers we seek lies with Mr. Grim Reaper,” John uttered.“Yeah. But the problem now is…how do we get it from him?”“Maybe we could ask…nicely?” John suggested. Before he could say more, Aurora shot him a disapproving look. “Try to think with your brain, not your butthole.”Their voices faded into nothingness, the thought of her invading my mind.I hadn’t slept. I couldn’t.Because everytime I closed my eyes, all I could see…was her. Somewhere out there, Phoebe was all alone. No. I can’t just fold my hands and watch. I have to do something. Then, a crazy idea popped in my head.“What if…what if we could

Chapter: Chapter 53Lucas’s POV Suddenly, my chest ached, feeling like razors slashing at my heart. Lucian, my wolf, roared, intensively clawing against my chest like he wanted to come out. “What’s happening?”“Mate! Mate!” Lucian howled.My stomach dropped. “Phoebe!” I called out, jolting out of my bed. “Lucas, I wish I could tell you. But I can’t.” Her voice rang in my head. The way she looked broken, as if carrying the world behind her shoulders. I knew she was hiding something. But I hope it’s not what I’m thinking. My door bursted open violently, Aurora’s flushed face coming into view. Her chest heaved, her breathing coming out as ragged gasps. “Lucas,” Aurora panted, looking like she just ran a marathon race. “Phoe..Phoebe…she’s gone.”Colour drained from my face. “What do you mean she’s gone?” I asked, standing up abruptly. “She’s no longer in the school.”My heart sank. “She told me she was leaving,” Aurora continued. “But I didn’t know it will be this soon.” “What?”“I’m sorry I didn’

Chapter: Chapter 52Phoebe’s POV When it was exactly 5pm, I picked up my bag. My gaze swept through the room, lingering on Aurora’s ugly writing on the wall. BESTIES FOREVER. A small smile formed on my lips as memories flooded my mind. The way she had placed her hand on her hip, pushing out her chest as if she had just created a masterpiece. “You’re impossible,” I had told her. “Yet you love me,” she replied, before jumping on the bed. My fingers brushed softly against the wall. Every corner reminded me of what I was going to lose. Eric sneaking through my window with that annoying smirk on his face. The way my face lit up at the sight of Lucas. Everything. My grip on the door handle tightened. Suddenly, it was difficult to breathe. The room felt smaller, as if it was begging me not to leave. With a deep sigh, I dragged my feet, walking away. The moment I stepped outside the school gates, my vision blurred. I couldn’t help but stare at the building one last time. Crimson Moon Acad

Chapter: Chapter 51Phoebe’s POV“I think we should break up.” I regretted the words that slipped out of my mouth. But it was too late. I had already said it. Lucas's face was as pale as white sheet.“What did you say?”“You heard me loud and clear,” I replied.“I’m not saying we should break the mate bond,” I added. “I just want…space.” Each syllable made my chest ache and my wolf, Selene whine in my head, protesting rigorously. “Is this a sort of prank,” Lucas asked. “You know it’s not,” I whispered. The world narrowed to just us, the noise around me disappearing. The horrified stares. Derek’s groans. Nothing else mattered anymore. “Are you in a sort of danger?” He asked. “No.”“You’re lying.”“I’m not.”“For fuck sake, your heart beat changes every time you lie.”I swallowed hard. Damn mate bond. “Please, leave me alone.”Lucas stared at me like he couldn’t recognize the person standing in front of him. His jaw tightened. “Look at me and tell me you don’t love me anymore.”My throat burned.

Chapter: Chapter 50: MonsterPhoebe’s POV A breath caught in my throat as I pushed my room door open. Felicia. She sat quietly on the edge of my bed, her gaze boring a hole through me. “Hope you’ve said all your goodbyes,” she said, her voice devoid of any emotion. “We leave tomorrow evening.” My chest tightened. The word “tomorrow” rang over and over in my head. The atmosphere in the room dropped, feeling suffocating. My gaze drifted unconsciously around the room. The memories Aurora and I had shared. My first kiss with Eric. This place had become my home. And now I was leaving it behind. “Okay, Felicia,” I nodded. She tilted her head. “You don’t look happy.” “Of course, I am,” I replied with a smile that didn’t reach my eyes. “You shouldn’t grow attached,” she murmured. “Once you do, it will become your weakness.” “Is that why you left me and dad?” I snapped, clenching my fist. Her body stiffened, obviously caught off guard. “Nonsense,” she retorted, something unknown flickering in

Chapter: Chapter 49Alice’s POV“How do you know about all these?” I asked, my voice barely audible. “Did you follow me?”Klaus didn’t respond, instead a smirk played on his lips. “Answer me! I deserve to know.”He brought out a cigarette from his pocket, before slowly lighting it. I gritted my teeth. This man had the nerves to ignore me. “Klaus.”He finally looked at me, slowly releasing a stream of smoke. The tip of his cigarette pulsed with an orange glow, illuminating his sharp jawline. He tilted his head. “Don’t you think you deserve a little bit of punishment?” “You’re changing the subject!”He exhaled another steam of smoke which blurred his silhouette, adding a dangerous allure to him. “Alice, you lied to me. You sneaked out of my house and met Sophia behind my back.”His voice was calm, but somehow, it frightened me more. “Didn’t it ever occur to you that I might have a reason for keeping you in the dark? Some truths do not set people free, instead, they destroy them.”I fell silent, furrow

Chapter: Chapter 48Alice’s POV“A DNA test?” I repeated, my voice barely audible. Mrs Grey nodded, her brows knitting together at the center. She stared at me with unblinking eyes, desperately waiting for my response. “I…I need time to think this through,” I muttered almost to myself. For a second, a flicker of disappointment crossed her features. If I was her, I would also feel the same. This was the only way to find out the truth. But for some reason, I wasn’t ready.She released a heavy sigh. “it’s fine. Take your time, dear.”Then she handed a business card to me. “Please, take this. When you’re ready, call me.”I nodded. “Thank you.”She tilted her head, her reddened eyes shifting to the ring on my finger. “You’re married?”I immediately withdrew my fingers, hiding them under the desk. “Yeah.”She smiled faintly despite the sadness that lingered in her eyes. With trembling lips, she asked. “Who is your husband?”“Klaus Gambino,” I replied without hesitation.The moment those words left my lips,

Chapter: Chapter 47Alice’s POVMrs Grey was clad in a white business suit that made her effortlessly elegant and professional. Her blue eyes were fixed on me, as if I was the only thing she could see.“It’s you,” she said, her gaze softening.The receptionist’s eyes widened. “M-Mrs Grey, I was just explaining our company’s policy to her…”Mrs Grey didn't even glance at her. “That wouldn’t be necessary.”Silence swallowed the lobby. Every employee shifted their gaze towards me, curiosity dancing in their eyes.“Please. Come with me,” she said. The moment she uttered that sentence, everyone froze, their jaw dropped to the floor. Even the receptionist wasn’t an exception, color drained from her face. I nodded, my hands clamped with sweat. As we walked together, whispers began. “Who is she?”“I heard she’s Alice Grey.”“I’ve been working here for the past ten years and I’ve never seen Mrs Grey welcome anyone other than her family.”“She must be special.”As the elevator door slid open, Mrs Grey gestured

Chapter: Chapter 46Alice’s POVI changed my clothes, wearing an ash hoodie with black pants. Then, I packed my hair into a ponytail and slipped on a pair of black glasses. Looking at my reflection in the mirror, I muttered, “this will do.”Taking a deep breath, I quietly opened the door and peeked. Slowly, I shut the door to my room, looking around frantically. Luckily, Diana was nowhere in sight and Klaus had gone to work. I tiptoed towards the front entrance, praying no one would notice me. Before my fingers could touch the door handle, a voice stopped me. “Ma’am?”I shut my eyes before turning around. “Heyy…Hannah,” I said with an awkward smile, scratching the back of my neck.“Are you going somewhere?”“Oh no. I just…want to go for a walk.”Hannah paused, scrutinizing me from head to toe. It was obvious she wasn’t buying it.Why was she the one that always caught me everytime.“Do you need the chauffeur to prepare the car?”“No need. I just want some fresh air.”She remained silent, but her eyes

Chapter: Chapter 45Victoria’s POV My life came crumbling down after the gala event. Michael had refused to speak to me. My friends avoided me like a plague and worse, I was all over the internet. The headlines only made the frown on my face deepen. VICTORIA STERLING BECOMES THE LAUGHINGSTOCK OF THE NIGHT STERLING HEIRESS MAKES A FOOL OF HERSELF AT THE CHARITY GALA VICTORIA GALA DISASTER YOUNG HEIRESS FACES HUMILIATION THAT LEFT GUESTS SPEECHLESS The comments were even worse. “Is she on drugs?” “Poor Michael.

My eyes were locked on the screen, my grip tightening around my phone. There was even a new harsh tag that was circulating. #BANN VICTORIA FROM SOCAL EVENTS Anger surged within me, my body shaking uncontrollably.

Chapter: Chapter 44Alice’s POV It’s been two days since I last saw Klaus. I didn’t want to see him. So I had locked myself inside my room. Memories of how he had discarded my food without even giving it a try, replayed in my mind like an endless tune. The way he had supported Diana without a second thought, without considering how I’ll feel or about the effort I had put into it. I clenched my fist inside my sleeve. “I’m done trying,” I muttered under my breath. Maybe it was time I stick with the marriage arrangements, after all, falling in love was never part of the deal. A knock on the door snapped me out of my thoughts. It was probably Hannah. I’m sure she wants to give me my breakfast. But right now, I wasn’t in the mood. “Hannah, come back later.” But the knock on the door didn’t stop, instead it increased. With gritted teeth, I reluctantly stood up, feeling annoyed. Opening the door, it wasn’t Hannah, instead it was Klaus. The moment I set my eyes on him, my heart skipped. Damn
