LUCIAN “Tenebris?” I whispered, familiar with the name. Everyone who had the power of immortality knew that name and always respected it, no matter the status of the person who possessed the gift of immortality.I looked up at the back of the man standing by the window, and my heart clenched.“How were you able to find him?” I heard Killian whisper to Salvador.“You will keep getting surprised by me every day,” he replied, smirking like he always did.He wasn’t wrong anyway. He pulled off the biggest surprise when he let go of his throne just to get us back on our feet and fight the war with us. I wondered what his reaction would be if he discovered that we knew about his sacrifice. I didn’t think there would be any surprise higher than that.“Will you be able to help us?” I asked in the calmest voice. Silence reigned in the room for what seemed like eternity before the man turned around and faced us. His face shone brightly, and there was not a single wrinkle on his face. He didn’t
KILLIANI dropped the file on the desk before me, my hand on my waist as I stared defeatedly at the several reports before me.“It is undoubtedly the doing of the lordess of destruction,” Neil said as he stared down at the heap of reports on the desk. For some days now, the packs have been filled with complaints of sudden deaths, strange sights, and disappearances."I am not surprised. I knew she would strike soon," I muttered. Lucian sighed loudly and dropped the vape pen he was holding, then got up and walked towards the window. "How bad is it?" He asked. "We've gotten reports from almost all Packs, that is how bad it is," I replied. "I will take my leave now," Neil said and slipped out to avoid getting sandwiched between us. "What are we going to do?" I asked the moment Neil was gone. Lucian craned his neck backwards and shrugged. He looked just as defeated as I was. "We cannot kill her," he replied, and my throat knotted. "Then... Should we let our people keep dying?" I as
ADRIANAI could hear my mother’s voice calling for me as I roamed around the dark tunnel I was in. The tunnel didn’t seem to have an end, and there was no single glimpse of light or life in the tunnel.The voice came again, but this time, it sounded more like Valerie’s voice than my mother’s.I paused when the voice got louder and the calls became frequent, constantly switching from my mother’s voice to Valerie’s. I gripped my head, which felt like it would explode, and dropped on the ground, but instead of dropping on solid ground, I fell freely through the air, still covered in darkness. I slammed my eyes shut, then parted my lips and screamed out for help, but no sound came out of my mouth until my body hit a hard surface.A sharp pain burst through my body, and a shrill sound hit my ears, causing my eyes to open. A light pierced into my eyes, and I groaned loudly, throwing my head to the side to avoid the light. After adjusting to the light, I slowly sat up on the bed and looked a
LUCIAN“Lord, we pray that you give this soul an eternal rest...” The words of the cathedral’s priest swirled around us, and I narrowed my eyes.Valerie had disappeared the next morning and hadn’t been seen for days. I wasn’t surprised that she disappeared, though I felt enraged and heartbroken, not just concerning her absence but the pain of my mother’s death that returned when the night faded.I knew that if I wanted her back, then I had to fight everything possible to find a solution to what she was battling to keep her soul in place.The sniffles and low outbreak of cries brought me back to a painful reality that I didn’t want to face. I stared at the white, spotless coffin lying six feet down in the earth. I had tried to bury myself in unrelated thoughts and activities to avoid facing the harsh and scathing pain staring me in the face. Losing someone that I loved was something that I was never prepared for. It felt like this was the only way to reach us and undermine our strengt
VALERIE Lucian's hot kisses trailed down my neck to my shoulder in a slow move, sending chills down my spine whenever his wet lips touched my skin. I felt Killian's hand slowly wrap around my waist while his hot breath teased my bare back. Lucian's hand cupped my left breast, and he pinched my hard nipple, causing a spark to run through my body and earning a sharp gasp from me. Killian's head moved to my ear and he showered hot breath on my face, causing me to shiver slightly in excitement."I hope you will be able to stand erect without losing balance because I'm about to eat your pussy," he whispered and my belly knotted.Lucian chuckled darkly, still showering electrifying kisses all over my body and teasing my nipples.My breath hitched as Killian slowly began to go to his knees. My legs were already shaking as his hands slid up from my ankles to my thighs. My teeth sank into my lips when his fingers grazed my folds. "I wonder how long you will be able to hold it in," Lucian
I stepped into the room with Lucian, my eyes fixed on her figure. My body, mind, and soul were too broken to react with any emotion.I took slow steps closer while Lucian remained at the edge of the bookshelf, staring calmly at her.“You returned?” I whispered in the darkness. She stopped rocking the chair she was sitting on and turned her head in my direction, her hazel eyes piercing deep into my broken, wretched soul.“I promised.”Her voice was so soft and silky that it seemed to float with the air in the room. She got up from the chair and slowly walked towards me, her eyes never leaving my face. My heart suddenly came back to life when she touched my chest. My breath hitched, and my heartbeat moved from a slow-paced beat to a fast-paced beat as her hand traveled to my face.I froze as she leaned closer and kissed my lips deeply yet tenderly. Her hand caressed my cheek and dropped on my shoulder, then circled round my neck as she pulled me closer, biting my lips in the process.T
