The mansion was too quiet. It wasn’t the kind of silence that felt soothing, nor the kind that felt safe. It was simply a silence that made the walls feel as though they were listening to everything inside.

Lilith stood by the window, hugging herself tightly with both arms, trying to warm herself in a room that now felt much colder than before. Lilith’s gaze was fixed straight ahead, staring into the darkness beyond the glass.

The city lights flickered in the distance, faint and scattered. The

  • Sire Bond: The Vampire's Obsession   83

    It was getting late when they finally decided to return to Ingrid’s antique shop. After discovering that Lilith’s mother’s grave had been desecrated and the secret journal was missing, no one could really feel at ease now. Especially Lilith. Too many things had happened to her in a single day.It started with Noah confessing to killing her father. Then her mother’s grave had been hastily and forcibly desecrated. And now, a stranger was in possession of her mother’s journal, which might contain all the answers Lilith had been searching for. Her head felt completely overwhelmed right now.And it wasn’t until Lilith sat down in the old chair inside Ingrid’s shop that she once again felt a throbbing pain in the palm of her hand. “Oh my God…”Ingrid, who was organizing some glass bottles, immediately turned her head very quickly. “What’s wrong, Lilith?”Lilith raised her right hand, the palm of which was already completely red and swollen. “I think… I slapped Noah’s face too hard before.”

  • Sire Bond: The Vampire's Obsession   82

    That night, Lilith didn’t go straight back to Lucas’s mansion. She didn’t even remember how her feet had carried her away from the lake. All Lilith could remember was Noah’s voice. “I killed your father.” Those words kept spinning in Lilith’s head. Over and over, painful, devastating, and the more she thought about them, the harder it was for her to breathe.“Lilith.”That voice made Lilith stop. Lucas. He was standing a few meters in front of her now. His dark red gaze immediately fell on Lilith’s right hand, the hand she’d just used to slap Noah hard across the face. The hand was now red and starting to swell. Lucas’s expression changed instantly.“What happened over there just now?”Lilith lowered her head for a moment. Only now did the pain truly set in on the palm of her hand. It was throbbing and burning intensely. Lucas immediately stepped closer.“Lilith...”Lilith immediately tried to hide her right palm behind her back. But Lucas was much faster. Very carefully, Lucas grippe

    “Don’t beat around the bush, Noah. Are you trying to manipulate me again about my parents?” Lilith asked, her tone now sounding confrontational toward Noah.Noah didn’t answer right away. He just stared at the surface of the lake for a few moments. Finally, Noah let out a small smile, a smile that did nothing to put Lilith at ease.“Your father really does love you very much, Lilith.”Lilith’s heart immediately tightened. “W-what?”Noah sighed. “He’s spent years trying to keep you away from this world of darkness.”Lilith furrowed her brow. “What do you mean by that?”“Your mother passed away first. From that moment on, your father knew you’d only have him left.” Noah’s voice sounded flat.Lilith froze for a moment, because Noah was right. After her mother’s death, her father had indeed become her whole world.“Your father knew there was something constantly closing in on you, hunting you.”Noah looked up. “He just didn’t know how close I was at the time.”Lilith’s breath caught in he

    Lilith’s phone kept ringing. Noah. The name was still lit up on the screen, like a very bad omen. Lilith stared at it for a few seconds. She didn’t move and had no intention of answering right away. Beside her, Lucas was also silent.But the atmosphere between them had changed so quickly it felt almost unreal. Just a few seconds ago, they’d been standing so close that Lilith could feel Lucas’s breath. It felt so cold. And now? Just the name “Noah” was enough to shatter that moment.Lilith’s phone stopped ringing shortly after. She let out a soft sigh. Then it started ringing again right away. Noah again. Lucas looked away. He was clearly trying to keep his cool right now. Which actually made Lilith feel a little guilty.Because she knew very well that Lucas still didn’t like Noah one bit. And that was probably one of the mildest statements ever made in history. The two of them had practically hated each other for centuries. The phone kept ringing, and finally Lilith gave in.“I have t

    Lilith couldn’t remember the last time she’d slept so peacefully. No nightmares. No flashes of memory that made her wake up in the middle of the night. No fear that seemed to haunt her constantly. Just a very peaceful and very deep sleep.When she opened her eyes the next morning, sunlight was already streaming through the cracks in the curtains. For a few seconds, Lilith just lay still, savoring all the peace she’d found there. Then her memories came flooding back, the mansion, the embrace, Lucas, and instantly, it all made her bury her face in the pillow.“Oh my God...”Lilith had actually hugged Lucas last night. That hug wasn’t driven by their bond, or panic, or a loss of control. But Lilith had truly done it because she genuinely wanted to. And now, there was no way to pretend it didn’t mean anything between the two of them.When Lilith finally went downstairs, the aroma of coffee and breakfast immediately greeted her. Veronica was sitting in the dining room with a glass filled w

    Lilith was supposed to be home before nightfall. At least, that was the plan. Go to Lucas’s mansion, have lunch together, spend a few hours in the library, then head back to her rented house. Simple. But the thing was, nothing felt simple anymore when it came to Lucas.Or this mansion, or even Lilith herself. The rain that had been falling since the afternoon grew heavier as night approached. Thunder could even be heard occasionally in the distance, coming from the forest surrounding the mansion. It made the atmosphere outside feel much colder and darker. Meanwhile, inside the mansion, everything felt warm.Lilith stood by the library window, watching the rain. Lucas was still on the same sofa, reading a book or perhaps just pretending to read. Because several times, Lilith caught Lucas glancing up at her. And every time that happened, Lucas didn’t seem the least bit embarrassed.“Why are you smiling?” Lucas asked softly.Lilith turned her head immediately. “I’m not smiling.”“You are

  • Sire Bond: The Vampire's Obsession   77

    That night, Lilith couldn’t sleep. Not because of dreams, the bond, or Noah. But because of one stupid sentence that had come out of her own mouth. “I’m starting to hate it when you do that.” Damn it. Lilith had actually said that right to Lucas’s face. And what was far worse was that Lucas had hea

    Lilith finally returned to her rented apartment by the time it was completely dark. Yet her thoughts seemed to linger at Lucas’s mansion, specifically in that cozy living room, among Veronica and Victoria, who welcomed her as if she’d never been away for long. And… especially with Lucas.Lilith let

  • Sire Bond: The Vampire's Obsession   75

    Morning came sooner than Lilith would have liked. After a long conversation with Lucas the night before, Lilith’s mind felt far more exhausted than her body. And what was even more frustrating was that Lilith didn’t really regret last night. Lucas hadn’t pressured her. He hadn’t brought up the bond

  • Sire Bond: The Vampire's Obsession   74

    Lucas walked into the house without saying much. His clothes were still slightly damp from the rain. Even as a vampire, he didn’t seem bothered by the cold at all. Lilith, however, felt awkward in front of Lucas now.Because for the first time since they’d met, Lilith herself had invited Lucas into
