Elara stood up and walked across the room to take Deborah’s hands.

“I know,” she said, “and I need you. I always will, but this… whatever this is with him, it’s already in me. I can’t deny that it is.”

Deborah closed her eyes. For a second, she resembled a mourner of something that had never truly been hers.

“Then promise me one thing,” she said. “If you ever think you are not safe… you come to

  • Love's Obsession   10/ Before I Fail

    The night had turned on Adrian. The city was too still, too awake. They were no longer watching. They were prepared. He had returned to the rooftop where the Order had come not because he wanted to, but because he knew better than to flee. Three figures stepped out of the darkness. This time, no smile. The woman spoke."You have been tested."Adriancrossed his arms, jaw clenched. "And?"“And you have failed," the man said flatly. The word sank into Adrian's chest like ice."But she's alive. Human. Untouched.""That is not the problem," the third voice said from the shadows. "The problem is attachment."Adrianlaughed coldly. "You never intended for me to keep it.""No, we were curious how long it would take you to decide.""Decide what?"She inched closer. "Your nature... or your weakness."Adrianglared. "Elara.""Yes."That one word held weight.“You have until the next full

  • Love's Obsession   9/ Elara’s First Real Fear

    Elara was not ready for her first real fear. Fear did not come screaming or shaking, or tearing through Elara in panic as she expected. It came quietly, like a realisation that sank too deep to be dismissed. It came in the space between breaths, in the pause after the last of Adrian’s messages, in the way the room suddenly felt too small.She is paying attention. She read the words over and over again, hoping repetition would make them less harsh. The kind of others like him. Observing. Evaluating. Assessing. Elarasat on her bed, clutching her phone in both hands, the screen dimming and lighting again as her thumb brushed it in unconscious movements.The campus was bustling with life outside, the late-night sounds of humanity—laughter through windows, footsteps on the paths, the normal rhythm of life—flowing past and unimpeded by her silence. That was the most frightening part. There was nothing that looked amiss. There was nothing that felt ami

  • Love's Obsession   8/ I Need Space

    Elaratook her hand, but Deborah pulled away, saying, "I need space," out of self-preservation,"Not because I don't love you, but because I can't keep watching you walk into danger and pretend that I am fine."Elarachoked out, "Please don't shut me out," and Deborah shut her eyes. "I am not shutting you out," she said, "I am trying not to break completely."She reached for her coat and keys, her hands trembling."Where are you going?" Elaraasked."I don't know," Deborah said. "Somewhere I can breathe without feeling like I'm losing you."She stood at the door for a moment, then turned back."If he hurts you, I will never forgive him," she said, voice shaking with barely contained emotion, "and I don't know if I'll ever forgive you either."The words stung them both, but they were honest. Deborah left the room and stepped out into the hallway, slumping against the door, losing the battle to keep her composure.

    Elara's heart fell. “You're implying that he can't love me.”"I'm saying that love is a liability," the vampire calmly clarified.Adrianclenched his fists. "I refuse to let her go.”The man moved closer, one slow step at a time.“And if the Order decides she is a threat?”Adrianlowered his voice to a dangerous level."After that, I'll destroy your rules with fire." The vampire grinned.Not amused, but interested."So you would pick her over your kind," he said. Adriandidn't think twice.“Yes.”The answer rang through the forest.The vampire's expression changed to one of caution for the first time. He whispered, "You have always been... different."“That is why I chose you.”Elaraswallowed.“You chose him?”“I saw what he was before he ever knew it himself,” the man s

I can’t deny that it is.”Deborah closed her eyes. For a second, she resembled a mourner of something that had never truly been hers.“Then promise me one thing,” she said. “If you ever think you are not safe… you come to me. No matter what.”“I promise.” Elaradid not hesitate.She grabbed her jacket and went out into the hallway, heart thudding. She did not know where Adrian was. But she knew where he would go when he wanted to disappear. The forest. The air was crisp as she reached the treeline.Here, the world was silent, devoid of noise and light, and the air smelled fresh as it filled her lungs. She no longer felt trapped.“Adrian?” she shouted

    "What's going on?" Deborah asked, trying to maintain a steady tone.“You vanished. I’ve been looking everywhere.”Elarahesitated.Just long enough for Deborah to suspect something was being concealed. Elara said nothing more."I just had to talk to him."Deborah stared at Adrian."What about?"Elaraopened her mouth, then closed it again. And finally, Adrianspoke."About me."Deborah's breath hitched. Something in his voice now—too contained, too polished, like a blade concealed beneath velvet."You vanished," Deborah said."You did not return my calls. You left a trail of blood on the bridge."Elarastraightened."What?"Deborah turned to her."You didn't tell her about that, did you?" Elarawent pale. Deborah kept her voice low and even."Adrian, what happened to you that night?"She thought he would not answer. B
