The Next Day,

The city wore the aftermath like a second ski - smoke still curled from the skeleton of the Valemont Museum, and news anchors painted the ruins in polite lies.

“An act of terrorism,” they called it.

“Unknown extremists,” some murmured.

“Cult activity,” others speculated.

No one said vampires and one mentioned the Song, because the truth was a language only a few could still speak. And most of them were either dead or hiding.

Emma stared up at the shattered facade from behind the police tape, her coat wrapped tightly around her, hair pulled back, heels replaced with boots.

She hadn't slept... not really, as the images wouldn’t leave her. Not the flames, not the screaming, not the chandelier crashing down like a fallen crown, and definitely not Evangeline - standing like something ancient in the center of the chaos, singing a note that shattered reality.

“She’s not dead,” Emma whispered to herself for the third time that morning. “She never was.”

Her breath steamed in the

    Sulvenis,The Ancestral Grounds of the Lycan Bloodline,Twilight clung to the treetops like ash.In the sacred territory of Sulvenis, where bloodlines echoed in the earth and magic lingered like fog, the four Lycan siblings stood on the cliffs above the Vale of the Moon, each silent with a grief they dared not name.Xander's arms were crossed tightly over his chest, golden eyes scanning the horizon as if it might deliver her back to him.Two months.It's been two months since Evangeline Cross had looked him in the eye and said, “I need space.”And they had let her go.“She doesn’t write,” Lucien muttered, pacing behind them, his boots cracking dried leaves. “No texts, no messages, not even through the Bloodline bond.”“Maybe she’s just trying to heal,” Selene said, her voice strained despite the calm. “Don’t twist the blade deeper than it already is.”Cassius sat on a low stone, elbows resting on his knees, watching the others with quiet fatigue. “We didn’t just lose her,” he murmure

  • Lupus Noctrine: Symphony Of The Cursed Lycan Quadruplets    Chapter Twenty-Five: The Weight Of Her Words

    Two months later,San Diego was bright and loud outside, all traffic noise and sunburnt strangers rushing to nowhere. But inside the quiet warmth of Café Nuvia, time felt gentler.Evangeline Cross stirred her coffee without tasting it, watching the dark swirls fade into the pale froth. She hadn’t seen the quadruplets in two months. No golden eyes, no cryptic warnings, no voices calling her back to a world that had somehow always belonged to her.Across the table, Emma was leaning forward, elbows on the table, fingers laced, patiently waiting for her sister to speak.“I think I’m ready,” Evangeline said, her voice low but steady.Emma didn’t speak, just tilted her head in that silent way of hers that said: No bullshit today.So Evangeline began.“You remember the night of the hospital incident?” she asked. “When you were told that someone tried to mug me in the parking lot?”“Yeah." Emma nodded slowly. "I bet you had bruises; but knowing you, you'd had just said it was nothing... but

    The quiet after the storm was always the loudest.Evangeline stood on the edge of the city’s skyline, overlooking the shadowed streets below. The night felt quieter now, less frenetic than it had before. The agents, the Song, the chaos - they felt like they belonged to a past self. But the five notes on her palm - scorched into her skin like a new brand - reminded her daily that there was no turning back.She exhaled, watching the breeze lift her hair as the city lights blurred into soft halos."Ready to go?" Xander’s voice broke through her thoughts. He stood behind her, leaning against the metal railing, his dark eyes studying her. “Everything’s in place.”“I’m ready.”bEvangeline nodded, brushing her hand across the scarred line of her palm. He’d done it through illusion magic; the world thought she had disappeared for a month-long sabbatical... ust simple trick, and a few well-placed whispers. To the outside world, Evangeline Cross was simply taking time away from the medical wor

  • Lupus Noctrine: Symphony Of The Cursed Lycan Quadruplets    Chapter Twenty-Three: The Epic Save

    The agents closed in, forming a ring of black armor and humming spell-sabers.They had no names, asked no questions - only relying on force.Their visors glowed like blind judgment. Their weapons were pointed not just at Cassius and Selene… but at Emma.Evangeline stood perfectly still in the center of the circle, her mask hiding the storm underneath. The completed parchment, now tucked in a rune-locked pouch at her waist, throbbed like a second heartbeat.The Hollow Song was long complete... and it was hungry.“Drop the artifact,” one of the agents barked. “Now, or we drop you.”“I’d love to see you try.” Xander took a single step forward, knives glinting. Cassius shifted, blade tilted just enough to kill, Selene’s fingers twitched with shadowlight, while Emma’s breath hitched, her eyes darting from the agents to her sister.“Stay behind me.” Evangeline whispered, to Emma When her sister obeyed... she sang. There was a single breath, followed by a single note, and the world fractur

  • Lupus Noctrine: Symphony Of The Cursed Lycan Quadruplets    Chapter Twenty-Two: Into The Hollowmere

    Night had bled into the bones of the city.The streets around the Hollowmere District were cordoned off by rusting barricades and silent red drones. Old construction signs still flickered with lies.“Foundation Collapse. Danger: Structural Unstable. Do Not Enter.” But the true danger was buried beneath the concrete. And it was calling to Evangeline like a drumbeat under her skin.The Hollow Song was near... so close now she could taste it.She adjusted the black leather gloves on her hands, flexing her fingers as if the song lived beneath her nails. The custom mask covered the lower half of her face - charcoal silk sewn with runic thread, enchanted to blur facial recognition.Emma stood beside her, similarly masked, eyes sharp above the fabric.“You good?” Evangeline asked under her breath.“I’m following you into a government-sealed ruin possibly filled with blood-drinking monsters,” Emma replied. “So yeah, totally fine.”Evangeline gave a tight smile.Selene led the group forward t

  • Lupus Noctrine: Symphony Of The Cursed Lycan Quadruplets    Chapter Twenty-One: After The Song

    Evangeline didn’t expect to see her again - at least not this soon, and not here, in a place that felt more grave than refuge.The safehouse was a half-lit ruin, a forgotten psychiatric hospital humming with the ghosts of long-dead minds. Its walls whispered secrets between cracked tiles, and blood-ward sigils peeled like old skin from every surface. Rain tapped against shattered windows in slow, somber rhythm, and distant sirens wailed like echoes from another world. Power flickered in and out, and the air was thick with the stench of rusted metal, old bleach, and magic left too long to rot. Somewhere in the silence, the building creaked like it remembered what it used to be, and what it had witnessed since.And then Evangeline felt it like a pull - or a thread woven too deep to sever.She turned sharply, and there she was...Emma.Soaking wet from the storm, she was standing in the doorway like a revenant dragged through memory. Her hair clung to her skin in damp waves, her coat pl
