LOGINEZRA'S POVMy phone rang so loudly that I almost fell off my bed due to shock. I grabbed it with a stern look almost as if that was enough to make it shut the fuck up but nothing happened and to my surprise, it was a call not an alarm. A call from Cole. I swiped the green button and sat up fully. "Sleepyhead." He said from the other side and I yawned, rubbing my chest as my big shirt slipped off my body. "You woke me up actually." "Yeah, I can tell. Then I am sure you don't know you are trending." He said as he slurped loudly. I wasn't so sure what he was busy filling his mouth with and my mind was just too hazy to ask. "Trending? Where?" I yawned again. "Online. News sites have your face plastered all over and people are talking about you." He announced and a deep frown settled across my face. "Huh? I will call you back then. Let me check." I ended the call abruptly and went online. Truly, my face was all over the media. "CAELEN'S ADOPTED SON SEEN AGAI
CAIUS'S POVHe wanted to escape my presence but I was quick enough in calculating his move so I pinned him in between my arms and had him pinned back against the desk. My hand slowly came up to his jaw and the kiss that followed had a different quality from the one at the door. I immediately dove straight into this warm mouth of his, gently attacking his lower lips and chewing on it just a little before switching to his upper lips.Fucking goodness, he tasted so good that my nerdy senses could not perfectly pick up what taste it was. I pushed more into him but was quick enough to support his back with my hand. He tightened his hold against my neck and had his fingers crawling through my hair from the back, triggering a part of my brain that I never knew existed. Judging by how flowery my room was in terms of scent, I knew that I had made him release his pheromones which was a good signal to me that he was high on this. Oh, that was super good.My fingers went smoothly under his sh
CAIUS'S POVThe file was thicker than it had been a month ago. I was standing at the tall desk by the window, appreciating the large view in front of me as a distraction to my thoughts. If I liked smoking, I would have graced my lips with a stick but damned would I be if I didn't practice what I preached. I squeezed my fingers that were clasped around the edge of the file and finally spared it another glance. The compound interaction charts were on top. Beneath them was clinical data from three separate studies on non-vampire physiology during late-stage pregnancy. Underneath these were my own notes too.The problem wasn't even the formula itself as it was pretty close. I had been close for some months now and close was the most frustrating point in the research because it was like...one moment, I was near enough to see the shape of the solution and then far enough that each attempt at reaching it revealed another variable I had not even considered. The problem was also the body's
EZRA'S POVAfter breakfast was over, I saw all of them off and once again, I felt so weird being alone. It reminded me of my lonely days back in Voss City. But now? Things were changing for me fast. I fell flat on the couch and just closed my eyes. I had another major thing to do today which wasn't what I told Caelen and my mates that I was going to do. I opened my eyes once again and brought out my phone. I wasn’t sure what exactly to type into the search bar at first so I considered an appropriate keyword: eyeless. The answers I got weren't what I was looking for. My mind went back to that moment again when I lifted my head to look at the man. What had shocked me beyond comprehension was that he had no eyes. He fucking had no eyes!How I had managed to stay sane after that brutal encounter only left me in confusion. His eye sockets were empty and it felt like I was looking through a dark hole. It was terrible. I couldn't tell Cole what I saw that day because that could make him
RIVEN'S POV "You ran off the meeting. How do you feel?" Lucien said after bursting into my room. I turned around from the mirror only for a brief moment to look at him. "I feel great honestly. I had a wonderful nap on Ezra's lap and it was really so soothing." I answered, hoping to taunt him with my response which worked. I could see the irrigation on his face instead. "Oh well, that's good then. I hope that moment was enough to energize you for today's work." He slammed a file on my table. "What's that?" "Father said you'd be following him to the construction site today. It's about to get all busy and messy for you, my dear brother so be prepared. I think he said this will be your punishment for suddenly leaving the meeting yesterday." I sighed out in frustration and went to pick up the file. "I can't believe he is going through this length. I don't understand!" "If you are not gonna do business, what else would you love to do? You can't just be jobless."
EZRA'S POV "Why aren't you saying anything, Ezra? You're scaring me." Cole pulled at the hem of my hoodie but my mouth was too numb to bring a word out. I looked at him and stretched my hand so he could help me up which he did. "It's nothing. I thought he was a thief. When we collided and I bent to pick my books, he stretched his hand and I was taken off guard by that gesture. It was that exact moment that you arrived. I thought he wanted to touch my head or hurt me." I explained to him but the thing was that...That was a lie. That wasn't what I saw. In fact, it was much worse than I thought and terrifying. Cole didn't look convinced one bit. One of his brows was shot upwards as he scanned my face. "You're fucking lying." He retorted and I rolled my eyes. I finished picking up the books. "Why would I lie?" "Probably because you don't want me to know the truth? Just look at your face. It's as if you are out of touch with reality and you can't believe what you just
AUTHOR'S POV "Okay...okay." Lucien interrupted the gaze, clapping his hands once. "Enough of the deadly confusing stares. It's time for a medical assessment. You came to look at Ezra so look at Ezra, please." Aldric stood without argument and crossed to where Ezra was sitting. The assessment w
AUTHOR'S POVAldric arrived at the estate just as the evening light was doing its best work. He sighed, waving back at the workers who were preparing to go back home while some were simply enjoying the weather outside. He came through the main entrance easily. After all, he had been here enough ti
DORIAN'S POV "You think your mother is alive? Ezra..." "Listen, I know how it sounds but please, don't tell me I'm being irrational. Don't look at me like I'm building something from nothing. I know what Caelen and I just can't help but feel that she might be alive." He explained, his eyes
DORIAN'S POV The company had taken most of my day and gave back very little time. Since we came back from Voss City, Father got us back into running businesses as things were expanding fast. According to him, "Even as we are searching for something mysterious, that doesn't mean we should let
