Chapter: His Missing Wife, An Obsessed Ex-wifeCHAPTER 136FYNN'S POV"Where is my wife?" I demanded of the first maid I saw, the question tearing from my throat. I'd already turned the house upside down—our bedroom was empty, her favorite spots deserted."Sir, some men came here to take her away," she said, a quiver in her tone."Some men?" My nerves began to knot, thread by thread, as the seconds passed by. "Who were these men, and why wasn't I informed?""Th-they were in black. Mrs. Delson tried her best to escape, but they came with a gun, and at the time, Naomi was there too. She said Mrs. Delson agreed to go with them so they wouldn't hurt her or anyone," the maid explained."Where's Naomi?" At this point I was trembling inside, but I couldn't show it because of my maid."She's still in a state of shock, sir.""Why didn't anyone call me?" I queried, trying to turn my fear into anger. "My wife was kidnapped in my own home, and none of you could care to help her. You didn't call the cops or me! Now she's gone. How the hell did

Chapter: Her Best Friends Need HerCHAPTER 135NATALIE'S POVI had been sitting beside her, staring at the wall for the past forty-eight hours since her rescue.The doctor said she'd sustained some serious injuries, and she would need to heal properly. Delia had been barely conscious when I forced Jordan to take me to where his brother had locked her.He made me promise not to call the cops, warning that if his brother found out, he might kill Delia. Delia's safety was paramount, so I didn't inform the cops.But as soon as I got her to the hospital, I called the cops and even told them their whereabouts. But when the cops got there, there was no one in the building. The whole place had been wiped clean of any evidence that could trace back to them or give any hint of their location.I was furious, but that anger was tempered by the profound gratitude of having Delia back. Revenge would come, that was for sure. It might come late, but it will surely come. For now, my concern was Delia.I was yet to call her family. It h

Chapter: Bad Fathers And Fathers-In-LawCHAPTER 134ZYLIAH'S POV"How do you feel now that you've signed this?" He asked, obviously pleased with himself."Nothing," I voiced dispiritedly. "I feel nothing.""You know." He came over to join me, and I tried to put some space between us. "This wasn't supposed to go this way, but when one makes the mistake of having a son like Fynn, it leaves one no choice. I've always admired you, so this shouldn't be that strange.""It shouldn't be? From son to father? Whatever this is between us, it's forbidden. It shouldn't be happening." Maybe if I made him see reasons why this couldn't be, he'd let me go."I agree it is unusual, but that doesn't mean it's not happening. This happens all the time. There are people out there who end up with their father-in-law or uncle or cousin. Or whatever branch of the family tree the person grew out from. And they live happily."The cheerfulness in his tone made me turn to him. The jerk was smiling. How could he be smiling in such a situation? It was the

Chapter: He Sent ThemCHAPTER 133ZYLIAH'S POV"Where are you guys taking me to?" I finally gained the courage to ask once they had left the estate, the car turning onto the highway."You'll see," one of the two guys replied curtly, and I somehow knew I wasn't going to get any response from him anymore. So I kept silent, my heart pounding.They were not hurting me now, but that didn't mean they wouldn't hurt me once they had reached the destination.I wished they would tell me what the hell was going on. That they would say something, or at least give a hint. In my head, I tried to think of who might have sent them.Was it Sayge? What if he'd found out that I'd been released from prison alongside Fynn? After all, I was a bit certain that Fynn wasn't his target. I was.He was the only one I could think of that could do something like this. Was he so disappointed in the police force that he had to do this himself? To get what he wanted his own way.Panic clawed at my heart. What if he wanted to torture me in

Chapter: A Verbal Fight, His Sexual RuinCHAPTER 132SAYGE'S POV"You just need to calm down, darling. The authorities will find Sara," Grandma Charlotte assured...or maybe reassured was the right word.But the problem was ever since I'd gotten Zyliah arrested, her assurances and reassurances weren't helping me anymore."Grandma, I can’t be calm. It's physically, emotionally, and psychologically impossible for me to stay calm while my documents are with some maid. Oh God."I had been pacing for a long time, and I no longer cared if the soles of my shoes were being worn away or if the floor was begging for relief.I was exhausted. Tired. My legs needed the rest, but I was too anxious to sit at a place."Sit down, Sayge. You look ready to fall flat on your face," Dad said with a firm voice.I decided to sit. "I wonder if Claire has any updates."Grandma Charlotte scowled. "That girl doesn't belong in this house. She should have left by now. I don't know why you're still keeping her after knowing she lied to you about Alexa's b

Chapter: From Bad News To Badder EventsCHAPTER 131ZYLIAH'S POV“...The country’s youngest and wealthiest CEO, Sayge Williams, has made a public announcement about his missing documents and urged the public not to buy any of his properties—none are for sale. He said it doesn’t matter if original documents are presented to would-be buyers: those documents were stolen from him...”My heart leapt in my throat as my eyes stayed glued to the television as the news reporter rambled on.“...He warned that anyone who proceeds to buy any of his properties will face the long arm of the law, since authorities are already working to catch the perpetrators. Furthermore, he offered a reward of five hundred thousand dollars for information on the whereabouts of his former maid, Sara Witkins—who allegedly stole the documents for one Mrs. Zyliah Delson. Mrs. Delson is now in custody, though she reportedly does not have the documents.”I wanted the earth to open up and swallow me. This was the most humiliating event of my life. Why would Sa

System Of Blood: To Crave Survival
I wasn’t meant to survive.
My sister killed me, and I should have stayed dead.
Instead, I woke in Lenore, a nightmare kingdom built on blood and lies. Here, monsters wear human faces, and Hunters like me are forced into a system that counts every kill and punishes every weakness.
They gave me a body that isn’t mine. A name that isn’t mine. A life I never chose. And now I can’t run. I can’t escape. I can only fight… and hunger.
Because it isn’t just the monsters that consume me.
It’s the men who circle too close. One forged from shadows, dangerous in his silence, the kind of man whose restraint makes me want to shatter it. The other drips temptation like poison, every word a sin, every touch a fire I shouldn’t survive, and yet I reach for him anyway.
I shouldn’t need them.
I shouldn’t crave them.
But I do. God, I do.
And while I’m torn between danger and desire, Lenore itself is tearing apart. The Houses want me erased. The monsters want my blood. And the truth of who I really am will destroy everything.

Chapter: The Hidden TruthCHAPTER 27Camryn's POV"The rumors are true," I said finally, because there didn't seem to be much point in denying it when the amalgams had already exposed me. "I'm the heir.The last surviving member of House Gold's bloodline. The Houses destroyed my family twenty-five years ago for creating technology that could end the anomaly plague for good, and now they've figured out I'm alive and trying to finish what my family started."Whitney was quiet for a long moment, processing this information."That's either the bravest thing I've ever heard or the stupidest, and I honestly can't decide which. The Houses will throw everything they have at you to prevent that technology from seeing daylight. You realize that, right? They'll sacrifice entire sectors, kill hundreds of Hunters, and burn Lenore to the ground before they let you succeed.""I know. But I have to try anyway, because the alternative is letting thousands of people keep dying every year fighting a problem the Houses themselves

Chapter: An Unexpected AllyCHAPTER 26Camryn's POVA young woman approached from across the courtyard with purposeful strides, maybe twenty years old, with dark hair pulled back in a braid and sharp eyes that missed absolutely nothing as they took in our bloodstained appearance. She moved like a fighter, all controlled grace and coiled strength just waiting to be released, and something about the way she carried herself reminded me of Amon's calculated discipline."Camryn Chavez?" she asked, stopping a few feet away with her hands out, offering a handshake. "I'm Whitney Abraham. I've been looking for you."I tensed immediately, my hand moving toward the knife at my belt out of pure instinct. After everything that had happened tonight, after watching Amon get torn apart and nearly dying myself, I wasn't in the mood for more complications."Why? Who sent you?""Nobody sent me. I came because we have mutual friends who suggested I might be useful to your current situation." She glanced at Fabian briefly, then back

Chapter: Blood and BetrayalCHAPTER 25Camyrn's POVThey ran. Just vanished back into the fog like they'd never been there.I dropped to my knees beside Amon the moment they were gone, my hands shaking violently as I pressed them against his chest. The wounds were deep, four parallel slashes that had opened him up from shoulder to ribs, and the blood was coming too fast. His face had gone pale, his lips already taking on a grayish tinge that made my heart clench with fear."That was..." he managed, his voice weak but steady. "Absolutely terrifying and impressive. Remind me never to make you genuinely angry.""Shut up. Don't talk, don't move, just keep breathing." My hands were covered in his blood now, slick and hot, and I couldn't tell if I was actually slowing the bleeding or just spreading it around. "You're going to be fine, you understand me? You're going to be completely fine because I refuse to lose anyone else to this fucking city."Fabian dropped to his knees on Amon's other side, already pulling medica

Chapter: Who’s Next?CHAPTER 24Camryn POVThe sound cut off abruptly, like someone had flipped a switch, and I saw Elliot spin toward where his partner had been standing just a second before. "Danny! Danny, talk to me!" He started forward, breaking formation, and I wanted to yell at him to stop, but my throat had locked up with fear.Something grabbed Elliot from behind, moving so fast it was just a blur of motion in the fog. I caught a glimpse of too many arms and mouths, faces pressed into flesh that pulsed and shifted like it couldn't quite decide what shape it wanted to hold. Elliot's scream was cut short, more a gasp of surprise than a cry of fear, and then he was gone, dragged back into the fog by something I couldn't fully see."Amalgam!" Amon's voice cut through. "Class B minimum! Fall back, now!"But there was nowhere to fall back to, because these things were coming from every direction now, emerging from the fog.Not one amalgam, not even two, but at least four separate entities, each one a tw

Chapter: The TrapCHAPTER 23Camryn’s POVWhen I arrived, the north gate was crowded, which immediately sent a jolt of alarm through me. Five Hunters stood in loose formation near the entrance, which was very unusual. Most deployments only required two or three people working together. Five hunters meant we were walking into something dangerous.Amon was there.I saw him before he saw me, standing apart from the others with that characteristic distance he always maintained in group settings. He was checking his weapons with focused precision, and something about watching him work through that familiar routine made a knot twist in my stomach. When he finally glanced up and our eyes met across the space between us, I watched his expression shift through several emotions too quickly to catalog. Relief, maybe, or worry, or something else entirely that disappeared before I could name it.Then Fabian stepped out from the shadows near the gate, and I knew with absolute certainty that tonight was going to be c

Chapter: The LaboratoryCHAPTER 22Camryn’s POVMike worked on Amon's leg while Fabian and I cleaned ourselves up.The venom had spread faster than expected. Dark veins had begun to branch from the bite marks, creeping up Amon's calf like black roots beneath his skin. He gritted his teeth as Mike applied a poultice that smoked when it touched the wound."This will slow it down," Mike said. "But you need proper medical attention. "I'll manage," Amon growled."You'll be nothing but vegetables in three days if that venom reaches your heart." Mike wrapped the leg in clean bandages. I sat across from them, still tasting blood from my nosebleed. The calibrator rested on the table between us, no longer glowing but still warm in my hands. Using it as a weapon had worked, but the side effects were sickening; my head pounded, and my vision kept blurring at the edges."You can't use that thing again," Fabian said quietly. He'd been watching me since we got back. "Not without proper training. It nearly killed you.""B

Chapter: Walking on GlassCHAPTER 93 LAZIEL’S POV As I made my way out from seeing Lily, I nearly collided with Karen, who was just walking in, carrying a bunch of food. “Oh hello Mr Laziel, what’s the rush?” she asked, narrowing her eyes at me, probably trying to figure out what was going on. I glanced down at my wrist, where Damien’s watch was still ticking away, and shrugged, trying to play it cool. "Just heading out. Got to return this," I said, waving the wristwatch in front of her face like it was some sort of trophy and a way to get myself out of explaining myself. “Right, because that definitely explains the rush,” she said with a raised eyebrow. But I didn't stick around for more questions. “See you later, Karen!” I called over my shoulder, making my escape. Once I was back in my car, the breath I’d been holding tightly released. I sat there for a moment, gripping the steering wheel, feeling the weight of everything that had been piling up lately. Why the fuck was Lily's pussy so wide? I had to

CHAPTER 92 LILY’S POV I blinked my eyes open, feeling groggy and all out of sorts. It took a moment for where I was to come into focus. The room felt wayyyy too bright but that wasn't all either. Something didn’t feel right. I shifted in bed, and that’s when I noticed it, my sheets were fucking soaked! Panic washed over me as I sat up and tried to move but I realised I couldn't. The shock of being bedridden crashing hit me like a wave. “Help! Is anyone there?” I called out, my voice hoarse and weak. But the room was completely silent. Why had they left me all on my own if I couldn't friggin walk?! I tried to recall how I ended up here. What had happened? The last thing I remembered was... well, it was all jumbled up and it was as if the harder I thought, the worse my headache got so I decided to stop for now. All I knew was that I needed to get myself out of this m

Chapter: Granny Marian’s WarningCHAPTER 91 ROSE’S POV After what was a long and exhausting day at the hospital, Lily had made it out of the dangerous part. I was relieved to see Lily resting peacefully but still overwhelmed by everything that had happened. The doctors had given us some unsettling news: Lily was diagnosed with dissociative amnesia. They told us she wouldn’t be able to receive visitors for a few more hours while they monitored her status. That didn’t sit right with me. I wanted to be there for her, to reassure her that everything would be okay, but I had to let her rest. “Hey, Rose,” Karen said, giving me that sympathetic look she always does. “Do you want me to stay here? I can help you with Lily.” I appreciated her offer more than I could say because I did need to find Marian Velasco first. I had a feeling she was going to slip through my fingers if she could. “Yes, please. I think it’s better if you stay here with Lily,” I said. “She might need you when she wakes up. I’ll be back soon with D

Chapter: From Clues to CrisisCHAPTER 90 ROSE’S POV After a few days of Lily being back home, things finally started to feel somewhat normal. I mean, as normal as it gets with a lot of secrets and unsaid words. I had been gathering some information and from the look of things, a road trip was on the agenda. I called the two people I knew wouldn't say no and stepped out of the house. **** I picked up Karen and Danny from the little café they were hanging out at. Right when I got in the car, the tension got so thick, you could cut into it with a knife. “Listen up, you two,” I said, trying to keep my stress from showing in my voice, “I’ve got a mystery to solve, and we’re going back to my roots to do it.” “Roots?” Danny asked as he tapped away on his phone. “What do you mean?” I pulled out my phone while driving and looked over the info I had sent them. “I already sent all the info you need on your phones. Just check the texts.” They both fumbled with their phones as I drove through the streets. I could prac

Chapter: Uncle Knows BestCHAPTER 89 DONOVAN’S POV “These bastards only seem to make my job even a bit harder.” I muttered to myself as I sifted through the paperwork that had been sent. Feeling a headache come along, I dropped the but just as I was about to drift off into thoughts of a vacation, I felt a gentle tug at my sleeve. It was Mara, my housekeeper, with her usual no-nonsense expression. “Mr. Donovan, there’s a young lady at the door.” “Just send her away, Mara. I’m not in the mood for visitors,” I muttered, half-heartedly waving her off. But she didn’t budge. “Sir, I think you should see her. She is looking for young Damien.” Right. It had been a while since I’d seen my nephew. Perhaps this girl was just another one of those interests, the kind that came in and out of his life. My head was filled with thoughts of how he changed women like clothes. Tch, I could never understand the younger generation. “Fine, fine. I’ll see who it is.” I made my way to the door and, to my surprise, it was Seraph

Chapter: Chicken TalkCHAPTER 88 ROSE'S POV “Wait here, I won't stay long. I don't like it if someone follows me around. This is an order,“ I added because I know she might want to protest. “But madam, who knows if there's paparazzi in there? I don't want anyone to bother you as I shop and I need to protect you.” I took out a face mask and wore it instantly. Emily got the message and did not ask any questions. “Wow! I can't believe I will finally get the chance to enter this place. Your fiancé is generous.” Karen said and I rolled my eyes at her. We stepped in. Lily and I seemed to be the same size. So, I'm very sure the clothes that would fit me perfectly would fit her as well. But I don't want to spend Damien's money too much. So, I went for less expensive clothes, shoes and bags. I suddenly spotted a red bag on the counter. I was attracted to it immediately. “Hey, look at that,” I said to Karen and pointed at the bag. She gasped in shock and soon smiled in excitement. “This bag would look great
