Chapter 8: The Reconnection

Lucian sat in his car across from Riverside Elementary School, watching the building with the patience of a predator. School let out at 3:15. It was 3:10 now.

"Boss, are you sure about this?" Dimitri asked from the driver's seat. "Kidnapping the kid seems—"

"I'm not kidnapping him. I'm taking him for ice cream." Lucian's eyes never left the school entrance. "That bastard is using the boy as a weapon against Amara. Someone needs to remind Kai that his mother exists.

    Chapter 112: The CountermoveAuroraI stood at my window. Watching the underworld city wake. Watching pieces move on the board.Grandfather thought he was so clever. Thought he'd trapped Lucian perfectly.We'd see.A knock at my door. Frantic. Desperate."Enter."The door opened. A guard stumbled in. Young. Low-ranking. One of mine—bought, paid for, loyal.He was shaking. Literally trembling. Hands clenched at his sides.I didn't turn. Kept watching the city. "Speak.""I—I heard—" His voice cracked. "The Grandfather and Lucian. They—they made a deal. I was stationed outside the chambers. I heard everything."Now I turned. Slowly. "Everything?"He swallowed hard. Nodded."Then tell me." I moved to my chair. Sat. Fingers steepled. "Every word. Every detail. Leave nothing out."He told me.The mating ceremony requirement. The two-month deadline for a legitimate heir. The vampire child being denied all claims. The fresh blood supply. The five-month timeline.All of it.Every manipulation.

    Chapter 111: The Price of SurvivalLucianDawn came too soon.I stood outside Grandfather's private chambers. The door carved from black stone. Ancient runes glowing faintly. Waiting.Behind me—Amara. Still unconscious. Still dying. Every hour she got paler. Weaker. The child draining her faster than we could replace.Days. Maybe less.I had no choice. No options. No—The door opened.Cassius stood there. Calm. Professional. "The Grandfather will see you now."I entered.The chamber was massive. Dark. Oppressive. No windows. Just walls carved with the history of our bloodline. Victories. Conquests. Power.And at the center—Grandfather.Sitting in his personal throne. Seven feet of ancient fury. But not angry now. Not raging.Worse.Calm. Controlled. Calculated.He gestured to a chair across from him. "Sit."I remained standing. "I'll stand."He smiled. Small. Cold. "As you wish."Silence. Heavy. He was making me wait. Making me ask. Making me—"You summoned me." I said. Voice flat. "Y

    Chapter 110: The EndgameGrandfatherI stood in my private chambers. The room I'd occupied for ten thousand years. Walls carved from the bones of my enemies. Floor stained with the blood of those who'd challenged me.Everything I'd built. Everything I'd protected. Everything I'd—Lost.My fist went through the obsidian table. Ancient. Irreplaceable. Shattered like glass.No heir. No legacy. No future.Because of love. Because of weakness. Because my grandson chose a corrupted mate over—Over everything.The door opened. I didn't turn. Didn't acknowledge.Only one person would dare enter without knocking."You're destroying your own furniture again." Cassius's voice. My beta. My advisor. My oldest living friend. "That's the third table this month.""Get out.""No." He moved into the room. Calm. Unbothered. "Not until you stop acting like a child and start thinking like a king."I spun. Power radiating. The air itself trembling."Careful, old friend. I am still your superior."He smiled

    Chapter 109: The Heir ApparentAuroraI stood in my chambers. Door locked. Wards humming. The heart pulsing on the table before me.Kang's heart. Still beating. Still alive. Still—The door opened.Impossible. The wards should have—A figure stepped through. Hooded. Cloaked in black that seemed to drink the light. Moving like smoke. Like shadow given form.I didn't reach for a weapon. Didn't call for guards.Just watched as she crossed the room. Familiar gait. Familiar presence.She lowered her hood."Mother." My voice was flat. "What are you doing here? No one can know you're still alive."She ignored the question. Moved to the window. Looked out at the city below."Lucian is gone." She said. "Exiled. Disowned. The old man threw away his only heir over a corrupted mate and a bastard child.""Yes."She turned. Looked at me. Eyes like mine—sharp, calculating, cold."Which makes you the only one suitable to inherit." She smiled. "Everything we planned. Everything we've worked toward. It

    Chapter 108: The Monster RevealedAmaraThe dining hall was a monument to power.Ceilings that vanished into shadow. Obsidian pillars thick as redwoods. A table carved from a single piece of petrified wood—older than nations, older than gods.And at its head sat death itself.The Grandfather.Seven feet of ancient fury. Silver hair cascading past his shoulders like frozen waterfalls. Eyes that weren't eyes—pure molten gold, no white, no iris, just burning cosmic fire that saw through flesh and bone and lies.When he looked at you, civilizations trembled.I sat four seats away. Lucian between us. Aurora across. All of us silent under that terrible golden gaze.Breakfast had been laid out. I couldn't touch it. The smell of cooked meat made bile rise. Made that other hunger pulse. The dark one. The one that wanted something living. Bleeding. Warm.The child moved. Insistent. Demanding.Hungry. Need. Feed. TAKE."You are dying." The Grandfather's voice didn't echo—it consumed sound itself

    Chapter 107: The Breaking PointRachelDinner with Dimitri had become routine over the past week.Nothing fancy. Just—eating together. Making sure Kai was fed and settled. Then the two of us at the kitchen table with whatever Helena had left or whatever we'd managed to cook.Tonight it was pasta. Simple. Easy. Normal.Except nothing felt normal anymore.Not with him sitting across from me. Not with the bond humming constantly. Not with the memory of him—wet, shirtless, perfect—burned into my brain.I'd been trying to ignore it. Trying to focus on anything else.Wasn't working."Kai's doing better." I said. Breaking the silence. "He actually smiled today when I picked him up from school."Dimitri nodded. "Good. He needed normal. Structure.""Yeah." I pushed pasta around my plate. "His teacher said he's been quieter than usual but—he's participating. Eating lunch with friends. It's progress.""Thanks to you." Dimitri's eyes met mine. Warm. Grateful. "You've been good for him. Good for—"
