The next morning, Lucas decided to take Lilith for a walk outside the mansion. This was the first time Lilith had stepped outside Lucas’s mansion and breathed in the fresh air, which felt more vibrant and expansive. Or perhaps it only felt that way because Lilith had been cooped up in that luxurious mansion for far too long.

Lucas’s black car drove slowly along the streets, still wet from the rain that had fallen early that morning. The clinging dew, the fresh breeze carrying a distinctive scen

  • 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

  • Sire Bond: The Vampire's Obsession   79

    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

  • Sire Bond: The Vampire's Obsession   78

    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

    Lilith's heartbeat felt very fast. Every sentence Noah said seemed to invite Lilith to justify everything. However, Lilith felt that both Lucas and Noah were trying to confuse her mind right now. So, Lilith didn't really know which one she should listen to and believe. Herself, or the two strangers

    The next morning felt deceptively calm. Lucas was gone before the sun had even risen in the east. Lilith sat alone at the breakfast table, barely touching the breakfast that had been prepared for her since she woke up an hour ago. Lilith's mind replayed everything that had happened the night before

    “That’s not romantic,” she snapped. “That’s fucking insane!”Lucas lowered his gaze slightly and no longer clenched his jaw as before. “Maybe yes, maybe no.”Lilith laughed, but it wasn’t amusement. It was pure fear. “You took my picture when I was a child. When I was a teenager, even at my father'

    After returning to his room, Lucas brought a tray of delicious food and drinks. This made Lilith so full that she fell back asleep. This made Lilith wonder if the food and drinks Lucas brought might have contained sleeping pills, considering how soundly Lilith had fallen asleep.Lilith woke up to a
