Nathan waited until the corridor had gone silent. Not quiet. Silent. There was a difference. Quiet meant there were still people nearby boots scraping against stone, distant voices, the occasional metallic groan of some ancient structure settling beneath the earth.

Silence meant there was nothing. No movement. No breath. No watcher. That was what Nathan needed. He stood beneath the remains of an old maintenance passage, his hood pulled low over his face. A thin stream of water ran along the cen

  • Crimson Love   Chapter 77 : The Pieces That Remained

    Nathan waited until the corridor had gone silent. Not quiet. Silent. There was a difference. Quiet meant there were still people nearby boots scraping against stone, distant voices, the occasional metallic groan of some ancient structure settling beneath the earth.Silence meant there was nothing. No movement. No breath. No watcher. That was what Nathan needed. He stood beneath the remains of an old maintenance passage, his hood pulled low over his face. A thin stream of water ran along the center of the floor, reflecting the weak electric light from a broken panel overhead. He glanced behind him. Nothing. Then ahead. Nothing. Nathan touched the wall. Three times. Pause. Two times. Pause. Once. For several seconds, nothing happened. Then came the answer. One knock. From somewhere behind the stone. Nathan's expression hardened. He pressed his palm against a section of cracked concrete. The wall shifted. Not much. Just enough. A narrow opening appeared between two slabs. Nathan slipped

  • Crimson Love   Chapter 76 : decision in silence night

    "She wants me alive."Jonas immediately looked at her."I know.""How?""Because you told me.""No."Sera's eyes narrowed."The way you're looking at me."Jonas' expression hardened."What do you expect me to do? Smile?""I don't expect anything.""You should."She sighed."Jonas-""I'm listening." He lowered his voice."But I'm not going to pretend that doesn't bother me."Sera softened slightly. "It bothers me too.""Good."She looked at him. "Good?""Means you're still sane."She gave him an unimpressed stare. "Very comforting.""I'm here to provide emotional support.""You're terrible at it.""Yet you keep coming back."That earned him the smallest smile. Then Sera's expression changed. Her eyes moved beyond Jonas.Kael. He was standing several meters away. Still. Too still. His back was partially turned toward them.Sera immediately lowered her voice. "Don't talk about this anymore."Jonas followed her gaze. Kael appeared to be examining the remains of an old storefront. But some

  • Crimson Love   Chapter 75 : Calm night

    Night settled over Zelios like a familiar cloak. The outer gates opened shortly after sunset, and one patrol after another disappeared into the ruins. It was routine. At least, it looked routine.Three teams moved through the broken streets, keeping enough distance between them to cover a wide section of the ruins without losing communication. Their weapons were checked twice before departure. Pagers were secured. Silver ammunition was distributed among the veterans.Sera walked near the front of her team beside Jonas. She had barely spoken since leaving Zelios. Not because she was tired. Because she was thinking.Nysera.The name had been sitting inside her mind ever since Aldren and Elias had finally told her the truth. A vampire queen. A vampire who had willingly embraced immortality. A vampire who now knew about her. And, apparently, wanted her alive.Sera's fingers tightened around the strap of her weapon.Jonas noticed. "You've been doing that for five minutes.""Doing what?""T

    The door to Sera's room closed with a quiet click. For a few moments, Jonas remained standing outside, staring at the wooden door in silence. A faint smile lingered on his face after their conversation, but it didn't last.His thoughts drifted back to the few words she had chosen carefully."I tested my blood.""I still don't have answers.""I'll ask next time."She hadn't lied. He knew that much. But she hadn't told him everything either.Jonas sighed softly and slipped both hands into the pockets of his uniform jacket as he began walking through the nearly empty corridor. The electric lights overhead buzzed faintly, their pale glow stretching long shadows across the polished floor. He had known Sera for almost fifteen years. Long enough to read the smallest changes in her expression. Long enough to know when she was hiding something not out of mistrust, but because she was trying to protect the people around her."She met him..." The thought came uninvited.Husen.Jonas was almost c

  • Crimson Love   Chapter 73 : A Friend Who Waited

    The corridor outside Sera's room was unusually quiet. Most of the hunters had already retired after the long patrol. Only the faint hum of the electric lights accompanied her footsteps as she made her way down the familiar hallway. The events of the evening replayed endlessly in her mind.Nysera. A queen. More vampires. An entire kingdom hidden beyond the ruins.And somehow. All of them seemed connected to her. She let out a slow breath as she reached her door.Enough. One problem at a time. Sliding the key into the lock, she pushed the door open."..."A figure sat comfortably in the chair beside her desk. Sera instinctively reached for the dagger at her waist before stopping herself."...Jonas?"He looked up from the notebook he had been absentmindedly flipping through."Took you long enough."She blinked. "For a second..." She let out a small sigh. "I thought someone broke into my room."Jonas leaned back in the chair, folding his arms. "Well..." His expression carried an exaggerat

  • Crimson Love   Chapter 72 : The truths

    The corridors of Zelios were quieter than usual.The patrols had already returned. Most hunters had retired to their quarters, while the medical wing had fallen into its familiar rhythm of hushed conversations and humming equipment. The white electric lights stretched across the corridor in neat rows, reflecting faintly against the polished stone floor.Sera walked alone. Her footsteps echoed softly. She had expected this meeting.In truth. She had been preparing for it ever since she stepped back through Zelios' gates. Outside the command office, two guards stood at attention.One stepped aside as she approached. "Lieutenant.""The Commander is expecting you."She gave a brief nod before knocking."Enter."Commander Aldren stood beside the large table in the center of the room. Dr. Elias remained seated, several reports spread neatly before him. Unlike previous interrogations. There were no other officers. No veteran hunters. No observers. Only the three of them.Aldren gestured towa
