~ Lumiére's POV ~Lumiére, with his supernatural speed, sprinted through the ground floor of the building as if his life depended on it. His feet hardly touching the ground, he raced towards the elevator, which was located at the far end of the lobby. " What the hell have you done!" He told himself.The button for the penthouse was his next target, and he punched it with lightning-fast reflexes. He watched as the doors slid shut, If only there was a way to make the elevator move even faster, he would have done it without hesitation. But alas, he was at the mercy of human technology, and so he waited, anxiously."Shit!" he muttered angrily, the frustration evident in his voice. Lumiére had made some mistakes in his long life, but this was by far the biggest one he had ever made. He was a Vampire, having lived for 120 years, and he had seen and done many things. Yet, he couldn't believe he had allowed himself to fall and lose control like this."Damn!" he yelled, slamming his fist in
~ Lumiére's POV ~Lumiére’s brows furrowed in confusion as he tried to remember who else was in the house besides himself and Reagan. curious about the source of the voices, He slowly climbed out of bed, the fatigue making his movements sluggish and his mind hazy. He shuffled towards the door, fumbling with the lock before making his way towards the kitchen where the voices were coming from." What do you think? Should I ignore this?" He heard Arin's voice.Arin was engaged in a conversation with Reagan, who was looking down at something on the human tablet device, with a curious look on her face. The kitchen was filled with the sweet aroma of freshly baked cookies, and the sound of the gentle hum of the refrigerator filled the air.As Lumiére entered the room, both Arin and Reagan froze, as if they had been caught red-handed stealing something. Arin's eyes darted around the room, as if searching for a place to hide or a way out of the situation. Reagan, on the other hand, quickl
~ Lumiére's POV ~Instead of heading to his room, Lumiére made his way to his study. His study was one of his favorite places in the entire building, that was why it was attached to his room. It was peaceful and quiet, and he could lose himself in the books for hours on end. As he walked through the shelves, he was reminded of the times he had spent with Raven at the library, pretending to read while secretly stealing glances at her.Raven was a constant presence in his mind, and Lumiére couldn't shake the feeling that she was going to be the death of him. As he scanned the shelves, his eyes were drawn to a book about the importance of staying away from humans. The irony was not lost on him. Here he was, the High Lord of the Vampire race and yet he had entangled himself in a messy situation with a human.Lumiére shook his head in frustration as he pulled the book off the shelf. He knew that he should stay away from Raven, that it was too risky to continue seeing her. But he couldn't
~ Reagan's POV ~Reagan was absolutely livid as he stormed into the surveillance room of the East Sanctuary, his eyes wild and his fists clenched tightly at his sides. His heart was racing and his mind was reeling as he struggled to process what he had just witnessed. "He fucking knows!" he shouted, thinking it was just Arin there, his voice echoing off the walls of the room.The sudden outburst caught the attention of everyone in the room, causing a lot of faces to turn and stare at him. Reagan could feel their eyes on him, and he knew that he was not supposed to be here. He took a deep breath and tried to compose himself, but his anger was still simmering just below the surface.Despite the presence of so many other vampires in the room, Arin moved towards him, his expression calm and reassuring. He placed a hand on Reagan's shoulder and gave him a nod of understanding. "Follow me," Arin said, gesturing towards his office. Reagan nodded and fell into step behind him, careful not
~ Reagan's POV~Reagan and Arin stayed in silence for a moment, each lost in their own thoughts about what to do next. Lumiére was a curious one, and they both knew that once he started asking questions, it would only be a matter of time before the elders found out. And that was something neither of them wanted to deal with.Arin paced back and forth, his mind racing with ideas for how to distract Lumiére. He knew that the longer they waited, the more dangerous the situation would become. They needed to act fast.Suddenly, an idea came to him. "What about the Masquerade Ball?" he suggested. "It's coming up in a few days. Maybe we can use that as a distraction."Reagan furrowed his brow, considering the idea. "It's risky," he said.Arin nodded gently, "But it just might work. We could make sure Lumiére is invited and keep him busy with the festivities."Reagan sighed, already mentally planning the details of the ball. "Okay," he said. "I'll get started on the preparations. Meanwhile, i
~ Reagan's POV ~ Reagan watched as Middleton's mind raced, likely trying to figure out how to handle the situation. He knew all too well how Middleton operated, and it was no secret that the man was a fan of casual relationships. Middleton's current lover had bolted out of the house upon seeing Reagan, and he couldn't really blame the guy. In his position, Reagan would probably have done the same thing.Middleton quickly excused himself, disappearing into his room. Reagan was left alone in the living room, He felt a sense of disgust at the sight of Middleton in such a state. When Middleton reappeared, dressed in more appropriate attire, Reagan felt relieved. Despite his feelings towards Middleton's behavior, he knew that he needed to remain professional.“ Lord Reagan, to what do I owe this visit. You should have simply summoned me” Middleton enquired as he walked towards the kitchen counter, picking up a bottle of water. “I didn’t have the time for that, and I’m sure I would have
~ Raven's POV ~“ Ms. Raven, I was asked to remind you about the Professor’s meeting in an hour..” Megan told her as she stepped down from the platform in the class and headed out of the hall.As they walked in line, Raven couldn't help but wonder why she was invited to the meeting in the first place. She was just an associate professor, after all. Nonetheless, she knew she had to attend the meeting and represent her department to the best of her abilities.The office space was bustling with activity as usual, and Raven made her way to her office without stopping to chat with any of the other assistants. She had a lot on her mind, and she needed to prepare for the meeting.As Raven stepped into her office, she was hit by the familiar scent of Lumiére. It had been almost a week since they had been together in this very same office, and Raven couldn't help but feel a rush of memories flooding back. The way Lumiére had kissed her and held her close had left her senses numb, and she had b
~ Raven's POV~"Megan asked me to remind you of the meeting, it's almost time," he said. Raven checked the clock hanging on the wall and realized that an hour had passed since she started grading her midterms. She quickly gathered her stuff and tablet and followed Reinhardt out of her office. As she made her way to the meeting, Raven couldn't help but think about the mysterious symbol. It was then that she remembered that she had failed to snap the picture earlier. she stepped out of her departmental building and was greeted by the scorching sun, which made her wish for a cooler environment. The meeting was being held at the administrative block of the university , but she decided to take the journey on foot. The distance from her department to the administrative block of the university wasn't far, but it was a bit of a trek. After walking for a while, Raven finally reached the administrative block of the university. She was relieved when she entered the building, as the air condi
