SERENA'S POV

Oh, good goddess, we are definitely screwed this time. My heart pounds relentlessly in my chest, each beat hammering against my ribs like a desperate warning as I watch Lucian storm toward us, undisguised fury radiating off him in palpable waves. His chiseled features contort into an expression that is an alarming mixture of righteous rage and unyielding duty, his knuckles turning white as his grip on his sleek black phone tightens. He is clearly preparing to make the fateful call that will inevitably seal my doom. My father will hear about this transgression—this blatant defiance of his explicit orders—and I cannot even begin to imagine the volcanic eruption that will follow. A cold shiver races down my spine as countless possible scenarios flash through my mind. I know one thing for absolute certain—he is not going to take this betrayal lightly, not after everything he has sacrificed to keep our family

  • My Hatred, My Soulmate    Chapter 106: Isabella's First Warning

    SERENA'S POVSchool activities have settled back into their usual rhythm, and everything seems normal again—at least on the surface. As the day crawls to an end, exhaustion weighs heavily on me. My mind is completely drained from the relentless workload, the never-ending assignments, and the overwhelming pressure of studying. Each subject feels like an uphill battle, and my brain screams for a break.To make matters worse, Lucian continues to hover around me like an unshakable shadow, never straying more than a few steps away. His sharp, piercing gaze never falters, scrutinizing my every move as if I might flee at any moment. The way everyone looks at me—as if I'm some fragile pet under my father's watchful eye—is beyond frustrating.I feel suffocated, trapped in this invisible cage of so-called protection that I never asked for. I can't keep living like this. For the third t

  • My Hatred, My Soulmate    Chapter 107: The Need To Be Careful

    SERENA’S POV"Serena! Serena, look at me—hey—stay with me!"Damon’s voice. Smooth, commanding, but laced with panic. I hear it cutting through the chaos in my mind like a lifeline in a storm. It echoes inside me, pulling me out of that suffocating dark place. I blink. Once. Twice. My lungs seize, then release violently as I double over, coughing hard, desperate to catch a single clean breath.I’m back. In the hallway. My locker is cold against my back, its metal biting through my jacket. Damon grips my shoulders firmly, grounding me. His eyes dart around, sharp and alert, scanning every shadow, every corner. Always calculating, always aware."Serena, what the hell just happened?" Cassidy’s voice slices through the thick air like a blade. She crouches beside me, her brows drawn tight with worry, her hand hovering over my arm like she&rsqu

  • My Hatred, My Soulmate    Chapter 108: Uncontrollable Need

    SERENA'S POVThere’s nothing I can do now. Not against Lucian. My father’s most trusted vampire bodyguard stands tall, stone-faced, unwavering. He’s as immovable as a mountain, determined to carry out his orders. And when my father commands something, there’s no room for negotiation. Right now, he wants me home. Immediately.But all I can think about is Damon. The feel of his arms around me. The way he holds me like he’s the only thing keeping me tethered to this world. I want to stay wrapped up in him, to let his warmth erase everything else. I want to hold him close and never, ever let go. But I already know that’s not going to happen. Not tonight. Not with my father pulling the strings.Lucian calls for another vehicle, his voice as cold as the air outside. Within minutes, a sleek black five-seater sedan glides to the curb, almost silently. Its windows ar

  • My Hatred, My Soulmate    Chapter 109: Dealing With The Most Infuriating Man On Earth

    SERENA’S POVThe ride back home is quiet—eerily quiet. Not even Cassidy’s usual sarcastic jabs nor Luna’s soft humming can cut through the tension pulsing through the vehicle. My fingers grip the edge of the seat, knuckles turning white, as I stare blankly out the window. Lucian sits in the front, as still and composed as a statue, his aura unreadable as always. My heart pounds in my chest like a war drum. I don’t even know if it’s fear, guilt, or pure rage and longing coursing through me. Maybe it’s all three—merging and exploding within me like a storm I can’t control.The car slows as we approach the apartment building. A thick silence blankets us as we step out into the cool night air. The streetlights flicker overhead, casting golden glows that don’t feel comforting—just cold. I take one step toward the door, only for Lucian to brush past us with that same silent authority, his pace unwavering. He doesn’t speak. He doesn’t look back. He leads the way like a shadow determined to va

  • My Hatred, My Soulmate    Chapter 110: Rebellion and the Gathering

    SERENA’S POVThe moment I start acting like the word rebellion, both Cassidy and Luna freeze. It’s almost comedic how their jaws drop in perfect sync. Luna blinks like she can’t see me properly, and Cassidy’s eyebrows shoot so high I think they might vanish into her hairline.“You want to rebel against your dad?” Cassidy gapes, eyes wide in mock horror. “Serena, are we absolutely sure you’re not possessed?”I roll my eyes, but I can’t help the smirk tugging at my lips. “I’m serious. I can’t take this anymore. He’s crossed every imaginable line.”Cassidy grins and leans in. “Easy there, girl. I envy you, though. Getting to experience this whole mate bond thing. I’ve read about that feeling so many times in those supernatural historical romance novels. I’ve seen other members of the community describe it too—‘The moment the heroine decides to fight for what she wants.’ It’s powerful. It’s giving serious main character energy.”Luna giggles, nudging her teasingly. “So, how powerful is it,

  • My Hatred, My Soulmate    Chapter 111: Rebellion And The Gathering II

    SERENA’S POVThe clinking of cutlery against porcelain is the only sound that echoes in the grand dining hall. The luxurious ambiance—the golden chandelier, the velvet-draped windows, the polished marble floors—does nothing to ease the pressure sitting on my chest. I watch my father from the corner of my eye, every muscle in my body taut with tension. He calmly slices into his steak with methodical precision, each movement slow, deliberate, like he’s savoring the silence, owning the moment. Every bite he takes is calculated, measured, as though he’s orchestrating more than just a meal. Despite the rich aroma of roasted meat and aged wine filling the air, the atmosphere is suffocating—heavy and thick, wrapped in a silence that clings to the walls like an unbroken curse.I shift slightly in my chair, leaning back with practiced grace, then cast a discreet glance toward Cassidy and Luna. One subtle look is all it tak

  • My Hatred, My Soulmate    Chapter 112: Rebellion and the Gathering III

    SERENA’S POVThe air around us turns electric—thick with tension, danger, and the sharp, metallic tang of supernatural presence. Every breath feels heavier, like inhaling static, and my heartbeat drums relentlessly in my ears, echoing the rhythm of fear and adrenaline pulsing through my veins. We freeze where we stand, every muscle taut, every breath caught, eyes locked on the two vampire guards stalking toward us like predators that have already chosen their prey. Their glowing eyes sweep over our forms—cold, calculating, and utterly merciless. I can practically feel their fangs itch with anticipation, aching to sink into flesh, to taste fear, to draw blood.“What the hell are you doing out here?” one of them barks. His voice is rough and jagged, each word slicing through the night like a blade, sharp and unforgiving—like a slap across the face meant to remind us exactly who holds the power.

  • My Hatred, My Soulmate    Chapter 113: Rebellion and the Gathering IV

    SERENA’S POVThe hand over my mouth feels like iron—unyielding, cold, and crushing. I want to scream—Goddess, I need to scream—but all that comes out is a strangled, muffled whimper. My chest heaves, my breath shallow, desperate to break free of the suffocating grip that holds me. The figure behind me is solid, unyielding, his arm locking around my waist like a steel band. He drags me back into the shadows with terrifying speed, each step thudding against the ground as I kick and thrash, trying to twist out of his grasp. But it’s useless. His hold doesn’t waver—not even for a second. His body feels like a wall of stone.My heart slams against my ribs, every beat a frantic, panicked drum. Fear pulses through me, hot and overwhelming. Luna and Cassidy spin around at the sound of my muffled cries, their eyes widening in shock. The expressions on their faces shift from confusi

  • My Hatred, My Soulmate    Chapter 135: The Return to School (Security Resumes)

    SERENA'S POVI'm surrounded.Not by enemies, not by anything dangerous—well, not in the usual sense of supernatural threats that have become my unwelcome norm. Instead, I'm surrounded by four armed boarding guards stationed strategically throughout the school hallway as if I'm a high-profile political target under imminent threat of assassination. Their vigilant eyes scan everyone who walks by with clinical precision, their postures rigid as steel beams, their expressions ice-cold and perpetually alert, betraying nothing but absolute focus on their singular mission: keeping me "safe."And I am absolutely fuming.I clutch my notebooks to my chest with white-knuckled fingers, trying desperately to breathe past the tightness constricting my throat like an invisible hand. The weight of so many watchful gazes—both the guards' and the curious students'—presses down on me, making the hallway feel smaller with each passing second. I look at the guards again, scattered along the corridor like

  • My Hatred, My Soulmate    Chapter 134: Her Deep Dark Secret

    The forest is unnaturally still, as if the very air has frozen in anticipation of some unspeakable event.Thick, serpentine mist coils around the gnarled roots of ancient trees as Isabella moves deeper into the woods at the far end of the city, her long dark gown trailing like spilled ink over the carpet of dead leaves. The fabric whispers against the forest floor, a sound too delicate for the malevolence that radiates from her slender form. Shadows crowd her from every angle, pressing against her skin like curious spectators, but she doesn't flinch. Not tonight. The searing pain in her chest is too consuming, drowning out all lesser fears.She grits her teeth, jaw muscles flexing visibly beneath her pale skin, each step sharp with fury and frustration that pulses from her like a beacon. The forest itself seems to shy away from her presence, branches curling back as she passes.Her mind, restless and raw, replays the moment again and again in vivid, excruciating detail—Serena suspende

  • My Hatred, My Soulmate    Chapter 133: The Love of a Stubborn Father

    SERENA'S POVI'm falling.There's no wind, no gravity—just this endless, sickening drop into a black pit that stretches forever beneath me. My arms flail wildly, desperate fingers grasping at empty air, seeking something, anything to halt my descent. But there's nothing. Just darkness so complete it seems to devour even the concept of light.I scream.No sound comes out. My vocal cords strain against the silence, but the void swallows every vibration before it can form into something real.I twist my body, neck craning painfully as I search frantically for a ledge, a crack, a single handhold in this endless darkness. Still nothing. Just me and the hungry void, its maw opened wide to consume me whole. Panic squeezes my lungs with iron bands, my chest burning with a helplessness so profound it feels like drowning on dry land. Then—A light.Far off, warm and pulsing like a heartbeat. Golden threads of hope in an ocean of despair. I reach for it with everything I have, muscles straining

  • My Hatred, My Soulmate    Chapter 132: Unwilling to Admit

    The dust has barely settled, hanging suspended in beams of fractured light that pierce through the collapsed sections of ceiling.The building is a shell of what it was—walls cracked and splintered like brittle bones, furniture reduced to unrecognizable ruins, and the air heavy with the acrid sting of scorched magic that burns the nostrils with every breath. Ancient power lingers, a toxic residue clinging to every surface. But Frederick's eyes aren't on the wreckage surrounding them. They're locked on Serena—his daughter, his blood—with an intensity that could burn through steel.She lies still, her body cradled in Luna's arms like something precious and broken beyond repair. Her skin is ghostly pale against the dark fabric of Luna's clothes, her chest rising and falling in uneven rhythms. Luna kneels beside them, her slender hands hovering just above Serena's face, fingertips trembling with concentration. Her lips move in silent incantations—ancient words passed down through generati

  • My Hatred, My Soulmate    Chapter 131: Can't Deal With His Father

    DAMON'S POVEveryone's watching me.The silence is brutal, like a noose tightening around my neck with each passing second. I feel eyes cutting into me from every direction—some curious and probing, some coldly judgmental, some downright suspicious and calculating. They're all waiting for me to speak, to break this suffocating quiet. Waiting for me to confirm what they're already whispering in their heads: that something's going on between me and Serena. Something deeper, more forbidden than politics or pack obligations could ever explain.And they're right. Of course they're right. But I can't say it. Not like this, not with my father's penetrating gaze boring holes through my skull.It feels like I'm trapped in a damn cage constructed of expectations and traditions, and every breath is getting harder to take, like the oxygen is being sucked from the room. My chest tightens painfully against my ribs. I have so much I want to say—to shout, even. To tell my father that this is what the

  • My Hatred, My Soulmate    Chapter 130: Mobius's Nonchalance

    The silence after Damon's outburst is thick. Heavy. It clings to the ruins around them like toxic smoke, suffocating and inescapable. Chunks of concrete and twisted metal lie scattered across what was once a pristine beautiful mansion meant for Damon and Serena's supposedly honeymoon, now a battlefield graveyard. The destruction feels almost alive—a silent witness to the confrontation unfolding in its midst. Mobius doesn't speak right away. He just stares at his son, not with rage or offense—but something infinitely worse. Amusement. A slow, almost indulgent smirk curls across his aristocratic face, the kind of expression one might wear while watching a child throw a tantrum in the middle of a royal hall. His eyes, cold and calculating as winter midnight, scan Damon with clinical detachment, as if trying to decide whether this unprecedented display of defiance was brave… or just pathetically human. The contempt in his gaze is unmistakable—centuries of unquestioned authority compre

  • My Hatred, My Soulmate    Chapter 129: Damon's Fury

    Mobius isn't done.Even as Eleanor's words still hang in the air, sharp as blades and weighted with defiance, Mobius steps forward with deliberate menace. His aristocratic features twist into something primally cruel and determined—an expression that has made empires crumble over centuries of his immortal existence. His eyes narrow, cold as winter midnight, and he looks ready to strike—not with claws or fangs, but with words sharpened by centuries of unbending pride and unyielding conviction. His piercing gaze stays fixed on Eleanor like she's a persistent stain he intends to scrub out of the conversation—and possibly existence—entirely."You mortals," he says low, venom curling on his tongue with each syllable, his voice resonating with the dangerous harmonics of ancient power, "forget yourselves too easily. Your lifespans are mere eyeblinks in the cosmic timeline, yet you presume to under

  • My Hatred, My Soulmate    Chapter 128: The Human Amongst Them

    A heavy silence hangs over the wreckage, oppressive and thick like a burial shroud. Dust still dances in the air, countless microscopic particles suspended in time, glowing faintly under the silver fingers of the full moon that stretch across the devastation. And in the middle of it all, Eleanor stands like a flame refusing to flicker out—small yet unmistakably bright against the backdrop of destruction.Everyone is watching her now—Serena's mother, the only mortal in this war-torn circle of supernatural power. Her jaw is tight, muscles visibly clenching beneath her skin; her eyes burning with an outrage that cuts deeper than any magic ever could. The pulse at her throat beats rapidly, betraying the adrenaline coursing through her veins, yet her stance remains unwaveringly steady."You're all arguing?" she says, voice trembling with restrained fury that threatens to break free with each syllable. "Stil

  • My Hatred, My Soulmate    Chapter 127: Parental War

    The dust hasn't even settled, still hanging thick in the air like a mourning shroud over what once stood proud and tall.Chunks of concrete lie like carcasses across the compound, jagged and lifeless; twisted steel rods jut from the ruins like broken bones piercing through torn flesh. Smoke curls up into the thick night sky, thick and slow, carrying the scent of destruction with it. And in the middle of this apocalyptic landscape stands Elder Mobius. Damon's father. His sharp eyes—cold as winter frost—sweep the wreckage, not with horror or concern, but with a calculating gaze that assesses value and loss. Like he's watching a fortune vanish before his eyes, each crumbled wall representing nothing but diminished assets.Not a word about Damon. Not a flicker of concern for his own flesh and blood."What the hell happened here?" Mobius demands, voice laced with fury that rises like th
