View MoreEmilio's POV The mansion was still and quiet, almost like it was holding its breath. The air felt heavy around me as I stood in Lucas’s study, looking around for anything that might give me a clue about where he could be. My flashlight’s beam swept across the room, lighting up the big desk in the center. Lucas’s study had always been a mix of organized chaos. Papers were usually scattered everywhere, and his bookshelves were crammed with novels, journals, and files. Tonight, though, the room felt different. It wasn’t just the darkness—it was something else, something I couldn’t quite put my finger on. I walked over to the desk, hoping that maybe Lucas had left a note or something that could explain his disappearance. At first, I didn’t see anything unusual. Just the usual stacks of papers and a coffee mug half-full of what looked like old, cold coffee. But then, tucked under a leather-bound notebook, I noticed a piece of paper sticking out. Curious, I picked it up. The handwr
Lucas's POV The warehouse was cold and quiet, and every creak of the old wooden floor seemed louder than it should have been. I sat on an old crate, my hands resting on my knees, trying to keep my breathing steady. The air smelled damp and stale, like the place hadn’t been touched in years. Across the room, my father, Donald Dale, paced back and forth, his boots making sharp sounds against the concrete. His presence filled the space, commanding attention, just as it always had when I was a kid. I watched him carefully, my stomach twisting with a mix of emotions—anger, fear, confusion. I hadn’t seen him in years, not since he’d left under circumstances I still struggled to fully understand. But now he was back, and the things he’d been saying since I arrived at the warehouse made my blood run cold. “Do you understand why I’ve brought you here, Lucas?” my father asked, his voice steady and calm, but with an edge that sent a shiver down my spine. I hesitated before answering. “Y

Emilio's POV The evening air felt heavy with worry as I paced back and forth in my living room. Lucas hadn’t answered his phone all day. At first, I told myself not to overthink it—maybe he was just busy or his phone had died. But as the hours ticked by, unease took root in my chest. Something didn’t feel right, and the more I thought about it, the harder it became to sit still. I pulled my phone from my pocket and dialed his number again, hoping this time he’d pick up. The line rang and rang, but no one answered. Eventually, it went to voicemail. I hung up without leaving a message. There was no point; he already had two missed calls from me. He’d know I was trying to reach him. Sinking onto the couch, I tried to calm myself down. Lucas was a grown man. He could take care of himself, couldn’t he? He was always so confident, so sure of himself. But even as I told myself that, I couldn’t shake the gnawing feeling that something was wrong. I needed to do something—anything—ot
Emilio's POV “I wouldn't want you to be found out while you're enjoying your meal.”“Well, I have something else to say, how are you so good at what you say? You sound like you've been touring vampires for years.”I chuckled outrightly. “You won't believe this. I don't tour vampires or do what you think I do. In fact, you're the first vampire I'm doing this with.”“Whoa, really?” She seemed super shook about it.“Yes,” I answered her.“It might not seem like it but it's the real truth.” I said and she nodded.“Anyway, thanks. For not abandoning me if not I would have absolutely no fricking idea what to do with myself. I would have killed my brother because I was hungry, seriously.”“Well, I'm glad you didn't do that. This is your life from now on so you have to get that under control.”I stood up from the bed, getting ready to leave but Mackenzie stopped me.“Absolutely fucking not. You're not going anywhere yet.”“What? Why?” I asked her.“I'm scared.” She said. “What am I going to
Emilio's POV “Eventually you might be able to tell them but do not worry about it right now. The most important thing at this moment is you adapting to this lifestyle.”“I see.”“Stay on the phone with me okay?” I said as I took the last turn heading in Mackenzie's direction.“Yes I'm on the phone with you.” She said, which led me to smile.“What are you doing?” I said.“Letting the water wash me while I listen to your voice.” She said.“Things won't always be this hard, I promise you.” I said and she sniffled.“I don't know what to say. I've always considered myself a big girl but now I'm all in my feelings.” She sobbed.“Everyone gets in their feelings, sometimes Mackenzie. And by everyone, I mean everyone.”“That kind of sucks. Getting into my feelings sound like the dumbest thing in the world. I'm a vampire now, it should be the best thing of my life, right?”“Actually, no.” I said. “Being a vampire doesn't guarantee anything. It's quite the opposite, really.” I honked in front o
Emilio's POV “Listen Mackenzie, you're going to have to lock yourself in your room for now. If my guess is right, your brother will soon start to smell like food to you. You will have the instincts to bite at him to satisfy your need but that's exactly what we're not going to do.”I could hear Mackenzie start to cry.I could just let her feed on me untill she was alright. Then when Lucas comes back, I could ask him for how to get blood from the blood bank without anyone suspecting.“My brother is starting to smell like food to me. Goddamnit! I can't help myself anymore.”Mackenzie probably needed the help now but there was no way I could help her immediately. I could only help her help herself, if she was willing.“Breathe, Mackenzie. How are you?”“I feel horrible.” She said while holding back a sob. I could hear everything that she was trying to keep silent.“Go to the bathroom and turn on the shower. Sit directly under the shower so that the water is pouring on your skin and don't
Emilio's POV “It doesn't matter, Lucas. Because I am what I am now and it's never going to change. Even though I try to keep these instincts at bay, they're still going to exist.” I said and he nodded.“I'm sorry Emilio, if it seems like I'm asking too much of you.”I wiped the corner of my eyes that were brimming with tears.“Don't worry,” Lucas put his arms around me and I smiled.“Thank you for buying so much food and snacks but next time, don't. It won't satisfy me anyway.”Lucas pulled away from the hug and gave me one long look.“You know what, you're right. I should go now and handle family business.”I gave Lucas a nod and he smiled at me before walking out of the room.I gave the foods and snacks he bought and look and then began to open them. I started with the sea boil and took a bite but it was unappetising to me. I had completely changed from who I used to be. Before, this kind of meal would probably push someone like me to the brink but now…My phone beeped and I check
Emilio's POV “I don't know what to say but I think I'd never do that.”“You think? This is something that happens each and every day.” Mackenzie said. “You might think you're good for now but wait until the day when you're desperate comes. You would know how to be bad. Especially when someone that you know is involved. Particularly someone that you love.”I swallowed as I looked at Mackenzie. It was probably my humanness that attracted Lucas to me. What happens if the humanness is gone. Would Lucas still love me the same way?“Mackenzie—”“—How do you know my name? I never told you that,” she cut in defensively.“I heard your ex call you that before he left.” I said.“Is that so?” She said, a slight smile appearing on her cheeks.“I didn't take you for the kind to eavesdrop on somebody else's conversation.”“Well, I couldn't help it. Vampire hearing, you know?”She smirked.“To you, would that be a good thing or a bad thing?”“None. I'm pretty much in the middle of it if that's what
EMILIO'S POVI stared at my phone, the screen glowing in the dim light of my room. A text from Alex and Jake popped up ."Hey, Emilio. Follow us to Eternal tonight. Trust us, you won't regret it."My curiosity piqued, I hesitated for a moment. Eternal was the new club downtown, rumored to be exclusive and secretive. What were my friends getting themselves into?"It's not about regretting it. I have some projects to work on and—" I was trying to come up with an excuse but they were quick to notice it as another text came in while I was typing."No excuse would be accepted anyways." Alex and Jake were my closest friends. We'd been through thick and thin together. If they wanted me to follow them, I wouldn't question it.'Alright, guys. I'm in. Lead the way,' I typed back.Within minutes, they responded with the address."Come alone. There are a lot of girls and in your case, a lot of charming dudes." A shiver ran down my spine. A smile lingered on my face for a bit as I chuckled to
