เข้าสู่ระบบJerome’s POVFor the first time in my locked, cursed life, I felt fulfilled. I could feel Raven’s blood pulsing inside me, mixing with my own, making me stronger, sharper, more alive than I’d ever been. The power was real. It was like a storm under my skin, and I wanted to laugh, to scream, to tear the world apart and rebuild it with my own hands.But as I stood in the middle of the grand hall, surrounded by vampires who cheered for me, who called me a hero, I didn’t feel happy. I felt empty. My eyes kept searching for her—Raven. My salvation. The only thing that made this endless night worth living.She was gone. She’d slipped away after the arguments, and the chaos during dinner, after I’d shown everyone who I really was. I saw her run, her dress trailing behind her like a shadow, her eyes full of something I hated—fear. Not fear of me, but fear for me. And for them. For my so-called brothers which pissed the fuck out of me.Why did she care about them? Why did her heart ache for t
Cassian's Pov We were completely fucking helpless as we watched Jerome sink his fangs into Raven's throat. The sound she made, that strangled whimper as she tried to stifle her pain, cut through me like a silver blade.I strained against the silver's effects, my body screaming in agony, but I couldn't move fast enough. Couldn't reach her. Couldn't do anything but watch as that bastard drained our sister's blood while she trembled in his arms."Stop fighting it, little sister," Jerome murmured against her neck, his voice sickeningly gentle. "This is what you were made for.. just a little more and we'll be done."Raven's knees buckled, but Jerome held her upright, one arm wrapped possessively around her waist. The sight of her growing pale, of her life force flowing into him, made my vision blur with rage."Enough!" I roared, forcing myself to stand despite the silver burns covering my skin. "You've had your taste! Let her go!"Jerome finally pulled away, Raven's blood staining his lip
Raven's PovHorror consumed me as I watched Dante crumple to the ground, his skin cracking and bleeding from the silver light and now it was Cassian. The sound he made…. that guttural scream of pure agony would haunt me forever. "Stop it!" I screamed at Jerome, struggling against his iron grip. "You're killing him! You're hurting my brothers!"Jerome's violet eyes gleamed with satisfaction as he held the silver disc steady, keeping the deadly beam focused on my fallen brother. "They're not your brothers! They fucking interfered with my business," he said coldly. "They should have stayed at their precious party."Cassian snarled, his fangs fully extended, eyes blazing crimson. "Over my dead body will you hurt her or my brothers.""Cassian, please!" I begged, tears streaming down my face. "Just go! All of you, get out before he kills you!"But my stubborn brother refused to listen. He took another step forward, his body trembling from the silver's effects but his determination unwaveri
Dante's Pov I bowed my head, not out of respect but to hide the rage burning in my eyes while I watched my Aunt.Aunt Kira stood on the dais, as she painted Jerome as some kind of savior and Raven as a potential threat.What had begun as a celebration had transformed into a nightmare..I watched Cassian walk away from the crowd and head towards Friessa who stood trembling in confusion and fear. Without hesitation, I followed him. When he reached Friessa, He gripped her arm, perhaps too tightly. "Where is she?" He demanded with a low growl. "Where the hell did Raven go?"Friessa's eyes widened with fear, her lower lip trembling. "I-I couldn't stop him," she stammered. "Jerome appeared from nowhere like he stepped out of the shadows themselves. He grabbed her and they just... vanished.""And you did nothing?" He snarled."What could I do?" Tears welled in her eyes. "It happened so fast. One moment she was beside me, the next moment, she's freaking gone."Cassian's face hardened. "We ne
Raven's PovOne moment I was standing in the ballroom, the next thing… was total darkness.It happened so fast. Aunt Kira had just clinked her glass, drawing everyone's attention. The crowd fell silent, and I felt a chill run down my spine. Something in her eyes was a gleam of triumph and malice that made my heart race.Then came the sensation of being watched. Not the usual stares I received as the human daughter of the vampire king, but something more intense. More predatory.Before I could turn to look, cold fingers wrapped around my wrist. The world blurred around me with colors smearing together like wet paint. My stomach lurched as though I'd been dropped from a great height.Friessa's frightened face was the last thing I saw before the ballroom vanished. She reached for me, mouth open in a silent scream, but her fingers grasped only air. I couldn't even call out to her.When the world stopped spinning, rough stone pressed against my back. The impact knocked the breath from my
Cassian's Pov I saw red!Blood fucking red as I watched Aunt Kira click her glass against the crystal flute. The delicate sound somehow cut through the ballroom chatter like a blade. Every head turned toward her, and my stomach dropped.My brothers tensed beside me. Damien's face went pale, while Elias's jaw clenched so tight I could hear his teeth grinding. We all knew what was coming. We'd tried to prevent this moment for years."Ladies and gentlemen of the Velmora," Aunt Kira announced, her voice dripping with false sweetness. "While we celebrate this... unexpected union, I believe there's another announcement that's long overdue."Father's expression hardened to granite. Mother clutched his arm, her knuckles white against the black of his suit. Why the fuck couldn't he just order Kira to shut up? He was king, for blood's sake. But something about Aunt Kira always made him hesitate, as if she held some invisible power over him."Our royal family has endured much," Kira continued,
Dante's POVCassian and I had tracked Raven and Jerome to this very spot, as planned. I couldn’t believe how long it had taken for us to find them, but here we were, standing just outside the edge of the trees, waiting for the chaos to unfold. We watched them and I could see Raven, her figure just
Cassian’s POV We had never, not once, set foot in the general cafeteria since arriving at Blackthorn University. It was beneath us and crowded, noisy, filled with lowly creatures who either feared us, worshipped us, or were stupid enough to think they could challenge us

Chapter 7“Fuck yes, take it. You need my cock don't you?” I spank her ass and she cried out losing control and chasing her release while I palmed her breast and ass.“She's fucking going to come for us Cassian, look at how she rides him like a slut.” E
