CHAPTER 67

The door clicked shut behind them, and for a long moment, neither spoke.

Dorian moved to the far side of the room, pacing. His jaw was tight, hands clenched into fists. Kai watched from near the door, arms crossed, expression uncertain but not soft.

“Okay,” Kai said finally. “Are we going to talk about what just happened?”

“Not now,” Dorian said without turning.

“That’s not an answer.”

Dorian stopped, glancing over his shoulder. “I said not now.”

Kai stepped forward. “You’ve been quiet since Elias collapsed. Since before that, honestly. What’s going on with you?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Bullshit,” Kai snapped, voice rising. “You’re spiraling. And when you spiral, you shut everyone out. Including me.”

Dorian’s eyes flashed. “You think this is about me? Elias nearly tore himself in half! There’s an ancient evil writhing under the floor, and Lucian’s barely holding himself together—”

“And you think you need to hold everyone together, huh?” Kai cut in, stepping closer. “You alway

  • Lucian's Undoing    CHAPTER 66

    CHAPTER 66Elias hadn’t moved in over five minutes.He stood death-still, shoulders slightly hunched, arms limp at his sides. His hair had returned to its white-blond sheen, falling in strands over his face, but his glowing eyes hadn’t dimmed. They were unfocused, burning with some eerie internal light, like staring into a distant star.Lucian hovered a few steps away, tense. “He hasn’t blinked.”“No shit,” Dorian muttered. He took a slow step forward. “Elias?”No response.“Elias,” Lucian tried, louder this time. “It’s done. You’re safe. You got it out.”Still nothing.Inside the hidden plane of his consciousness, Azazel paced like a caged animal. “What the fuck was that?” he snarled. “That wasn’t me. That wasn’t you. That sure as hell wasn’t you.”Thal’rean stood calmly with arms folded. “I don’t know.”Azazel spun on him. “No. Don’t do that—don’t go all quiet and cryptic on me. He expelled Tzareth. Expelled. As if it were a choice. As if he had control. That wasn’t our power, so wh

  • Lucian's Undoing    CHAPTER 65

    CHAPTER 65The dimly lit basement thrummed with energy as Elias stepped down the stairs, silent, barefoot, and eerily calm. His glowing eyes cast pale reflections off the stone walls, and his white hair drifted unnaturally around him though there was no breeze.Lucian stood with his arms crossed, tense. Kai lingered near the edge of the space, fingers twitching slightly in case healing was needed. Dorian said nothing, only observed Elias with eyes narrowed in concern."He's doing it again," Kai whispered."He's not unstable," Dorian said sharply, watching Elias rise off the floor, hovering. "This is something else."Lucian didn’t move. "He’s gone inward."Elias’s body pulsed with light—not blinding, but radiant. In the blink of an eye, the world around him shifted.Elias floated in a glowing void, his form weightless. A breath, and then they appeared: Thal'rean, golden and regal, and Azazel, sharp-eyed and cloaked in shadows.Thal'rean nodded. "You came willingly this time. Good."Aza

  • Lucian's Undoing    CHAPTER 64

    CHAPTER 64The morning sun filtered through the windows of the mansion, golden light slanting across the polished floors. Despite the brightness, the air felt heavy—quiet in a way that unsettled the three who stepped into the kitchen.Dorian, Kai, and Lucian moved slowly, glancing toward the table where Elias already sat.He didn’t look up.His hair had turned completely white overnight, cascading like a veil over his sharp features. His eyes, though half-lidded, still glowed faintly—a dull, distant light pulsing from within. He hadn’t touched the untouched plate of food in front of him. He just sat there. Silent.Kai whispered, “He hasn’t moved?”“No,” Lucian murmured, leaning on the counter. “He’s been like this since the basement. The power hasn’t left him.”Dorian stepped closer. “Elias,” he said gently. “Are you alright?”No answer.Kai frowned, moving to pour himself tea. “This isn’t good. He’s not even blinking. It’s like… he’s watching something we can’t see.”Lucian’s jaw tic

  • Lucian's Undoing    CHAPTER 63

    CHAPTER 63Cassiel’s voice broke through the silence first. “Enough games, Serros. Tell us what you know.”Serros grinned, dark eyes gleaming. “Oh, I missed this... the fire in your voice, Cassiel. Still clinging to your high ground after all these years?”“Serros,” Amaria said firmly.That made him pause. He tilted his head toward her with a smirk that bordered on mocking. “Amaria. The only one here I might consider listening to. Fine.”He took a deep breath, running a hand through his silver hair, expression darkening. “Erethar is not just a snake. You all know that.”Murmurs rippled through the council.“He is incomplete,” Serros continued, “and that makes him desperate. What you saw—what now walks in the skin of that poor, dead boy Luca—is but a fraction of what Erethar once was.”Erelah narrowed her eyes. “What is he looking for?”Serros turned slowly toward her. “Power. A vessel. A key.”Then his gaze slid toward Amaria. “And I suspect... it’s our little Elias who holds what he

  • Lucian's Undoing    CHAPTER 62

    CHAPTER 62The Hall of Ascendancy was ancient, carved into the high cliffs of Seraph's Reach. Gleaming crystal pillars stretched to the heavens, casting prismatic shadows on the marble floor below. Amaria stood at the center, her eyes glowing faintly gold beneath her hood, the silken threads of her robes whispering as she turned to face the approaching footsteps.Cassiel arrived first, his silver armor reflecting the light of the sunstone. "You summoned us, Amaria?""Yes," she said simply.Raziel appeared next, his dark robes billowing like smoke, his expression unreadable. "I assumed this was another matter concerning Elias.""It isn't," Amaria said. "This is older. More dangerous."Erelah descended in near silence, her hair flowing like moonlight, her eyes wide and curious. "You look disturbed, Amaria. That rarely happens."Amaria nodded solemnly and extended her hand. A glowing orb hovered above her palm, and within it flickered an image—a man with dark hair and golden eyes, his ve

    CHAPTER 61The castle's lower halls trembled with the aftermath of Tristan’s rage. Guards lay scattered—some unconscious, others groaning in pain—as he paced through the corridor, fire simmering beneath his skin."Stupid. Stupid!" he shouted, kicking over a pillar of armor with a loud clatter. "You're risking everything—*everything*—because you want to parade around like some cursed prince!"From the shadows, Luca emerged, seemingly unfazed. He moved with that calm, predatory grace, the kind that made your instincts scream before your mind could catch up."Watch your tone," Luca murmured, his voice smooth, but laced with venom.Tristan whirled on him, red in the face. "Don't give me that look. You're not even him. You're just wearing his fucking skin."A muscle ticked in Luca’s jaw."You think I don't know? You might fool them, but not me."Something shifted in the air, like all the oxygen had been sucked out. In the blink of an eye, Luca pinned Tristan to the stone wall, a clawed han

  • Lucian's Undoing    CHAPTER 60

    CHAPTER 60The wind was still howling when Kai opened the portal.It shimmered in the air like torn glass, the center pulsing with silver light. None of them spoke. The night—the celebration, the laughter, the peace—was gone.Ruined.Elias stood close to Lucian, casting glances at him every few seconds as if expecting him to disappear. The older vampire walked slower than usual, but his face was unreadable. Blank.He didn’t flinch as they all stepped through.The mansion swallowed them in familiar silence. The warmth of the wards felt suffocating now, too clean, too bright after everything they’d witnessed. Kai closed the portal behind them, and the noise from the outside world vanished entirely.Dorian ran a hand through his silver hair. “Well. That was a shitshow.”Lucian didn't reply. He was already heading toward the staircase.Elias followed him without a word.Kai gave Dorian a look but didn’t stop them.*****Lucian sat on the edge of his bed, his jacket peeled off and discarde

  • Lucian's Undoing    CHAPTER 59

    CHAPTER 59For a moment, the world held its breath.Lucian’s aura burned, cold fire crackling around him, blue and silver, ancient and furious. The kind of energy that made blood freeze and bone shiver. Even the shadows around them recoiled from it. He wasn’t just a vampire—he was something far older, something ascendant.But before anyone could move, Elias’s body lurched.His eyes rolled back, and a different voice came out of his mouth—not Elias’s, not even Thal’rean’s.It was Azazel.Low. Commanding. Otherworldly.“Enough. Bow.”The power in that word shattered the tension like glass.The Shadowborn froze, mid-step, their glowing eyes flickering uncertainly. Then—one by one—they dropped to their knees, faces bowed to the dirt.Luca stepped back, eyes wide. “What—?”Azazel, still in Elias’s body, tilted his head, dark eyes narrowing on the creatures. “I said bow. Obey.”And they did.Like whipped dogs, they pressed their grotesque forms into the earth, trembling before him.Azazel t
