Chapter 20

Elena arrived at the company almost at a run, her heels striking the marble floor in a hurried rhythm. She passed through the revolving door without even properly looking at the security guard, murmuring a “good morning” that sounded more like an apology to the universe.

She quickened her pace down the corridor, dodging two people and nearly bumping into another.

“Sorry!” she said automatically, without even looking back.

When she turned the corner toward her office, her stomach drop

    Chapter 54Vlad stood before the tall window, motionless like a statue. His dark eyes watched the shadowed garden.Elena entered the office."You’re different," she said, crossing her arms tightly. "Since Isolde left. You barely speak. You barely look at me."Vlad didn’t turn."Because now I know exactly what’s coming."She stopped beside him."And what do you intend to do?"He looked at her without blinking."Get you out of here. Today. Now."She frowned."What?""The mansion is no longer safe. He has already sensed you. Every wall, every stone, every drop of blood you spilled here is marked with your scent. Dracula is coming. And when he arrives, he won’t come alone."Elena felt her stomach tighten."So we run?"A bitter half-smile curved his lips."I don’t run, Elena. I never have. I will lure him somewhere else.""Where? The farm?"He nodded."Open ground. No civilians. Space to fight without destroying everything around us. And... it’s where it all began for me. The place where I

    Chapter 53The next morning, Elena slowly opened her eyes. For a moment, she simply watched Vlad beside her, completely still, like a statue of dark beauty.She got out of bed and walked barefoot out of the room.She went downstairs, almost floating. The mansion was empty. Vlad had dismissed the staff that morning, giving her the space she needed to adapt.She entered the kitchen and went straight to the sink. She picked up a glass and filled it with water, a human habit that still grounded her. She brought the glass to her lips… and without realizing, she squeezed a little too hard, shattering it in her hand. She froze.She looked at her fingers, then at her palm. No cuts, nothing."Damn…" she murmured.Carefully, she gathered the shards and threw them away. She took a deep breath out of reflex and closed her eyes for a second.Then she smelled him. It came from the study.He was sitting there, reading an old book. He looked up as soon as she entered."Good morning.""I… broke a glas

    Chapter 52Elena walked slowly, barefoot, feeling the cold floor beneath her feet. A sound bothered her, it seemed like… heartbeats.She stopped in the middle of the hallway, closing her eyes tightly."Stop…" she murmured, placing her hands on her head. "Stop… what is that smell?"The scent was so intense that she felt her fangs descend. When she opened her eyes again, they were red, and she knew exactly where the sound was coming from. The kitchen—someone was there… and alone.She started walking again and suddenly found herself at the kitchen door.One of the employees stood with his back turned, cutting something on the counter. He hummed softly while preparing something.Elena held the doorknob when she heard:"Elena."Her body went rigid—it was Vlad’s voice.Vlad was leaning against the wall beside the door, watching."Go back," he said calmly. "Now."She trembled."I… I can’t…"The employee turned his head slightly, confused."Is someone there?"Elena took another step.Vlad app

    Chapter 51Elena’s body went completely still in Vlad’s arms. Her heart, which had been beating weakly and irregularly, stopped altogether.Vlad squeezed his eyes shut, and tears of blood ran down his face. Valkyria and Adrian approached slowly.Then it happened—they heard the first heartbeat. She suddenly inhaled. Her skin, pale from blood loss, lost the last trace of human color.She felt her fangs break through her gums. She opened her eyes—they were light red, like rubies.Elena blinked slowly, confused. Suddenly, she heard very loud sounds: the wind, the crackling of the fireplace, the beating hearts of Valkyria and Adrian—they sounded like drums. Everything was too loud. Too much."Vlad..."He held her face with both hands, gently brushing his thumbs over her cheekbones."I’m here. I’m here, my love."Elena tried to sit up, but her body still wouldn’t obey."It hurts..." she murmured, placing her hands on her head. "Everything hurts... and I... I feel hungry."Her fangs lengthen

    Chapter 50Vlad walked through the forest like a shadow among shadows. The spell ran through his veins, making everything sharper.The trail narrowed, giving way to a natural stone passage covered in moss and filled with flowers.Hundreds of them. The scent was sweet, sickening, laced with something chemical that would make any human drop to their knees within seconds—hallucinating, paralyzed, or falling into a deep sleep. A classic pack trap for hunters or human intruders.Vlad stopped at the entrance of the passage. He tilted his head and inhaled deeply.The smell was strong enough to irritate even his vampiric senses. He laughed softly.He crossed the passage. The sky was beginning to brighten. Ahead, among the more spaced trees, stood an old structure.Gray stone covered with black ivy. It was not recent. It was old. Perhaps as old as he was.Vlad slowed his pace.On the path leading to the house, figures began to emerge from the shadows of the trees.Men.At least a dozen.Partia

    Chapter 49The wind began to blow hard. The moonlight simply disappeared. Suddenly the room darkened, the lights going out for a few seconds. The flames in the fireplace trembled.A black blur, larger than any natural shadow, crossed the window in a second, with wings that beat once before folding.The giant bat landed on the wooden floor, spun around itself in a furious whirlwind, and in less than a second Vlad was standing in the center of the room in his human form. His long coat vibrated with the sudden movement of the transformation, and his red eyes glowed like embers in the dark.He saw his sister leaning against the railing, a silver arrow lodged in her side and pain written across her face. He looked at Adrian, who was also injured.He crouched beside Valkiria, touching her face gently as he assessed the severity of the silver in her body."Valkiria..." he said in a low voice.She slowly opened her eyes, forcing a smile despite the pain."You arrived... early... brother."Vla

    Chapter 25Adrian led them inside the house. He took them to the dining room.A smaller table was already set. Just a light meal: hot soup, artisanal bread still warm, and fresh fruit.“Something gentle,” Adrian said, his voice deep and controlled. “So you don’t retire with an empty stomach.”Elena

    Chapter 22Vlad returned a few minutes later; he seemed tense. When he met Elena again, his expression immediately softened."I’m sorry," he said in a low voice. "Unavoidable matters.""I can imagine," she replied with a gentle smile.He offered her his arm again, and she accepted. They walked thro

    Chapter 23He set the glass down on the railing, placed one hand on her waist, and then lifted the other to gently cradle the back of her neck, careful not to disturb her hair.“Elena…” he murmured sensually, sending a shiver across her skin.“I…”He pressed his lips to hers. She felt his lips touc
