Sire Bond: The Vampire's Obsession 109
That night, an unusual silence enveloped the mansion. No one could truly close their eyes. After Lilith had once again managed to control her thirst for blood, Ingrid returned to reading the ancient records stored in the secret chamber.Meanwhile, Lilith still held the journal on her lap. The golden letters inside the journal were even beginning to reappear, little by little. It was as if the journal knew that she was drawing ever closer to her complete transformation.“Lilith.”Lucas’s voice snapped her out of her reverie. Lilith looked up. Lucas was standing in the doorway of the room with a smile that always managed to make Lilith feel much calmer.“Are you ready?”Lilith nodded slowly. “I want to read the next page of the journal.”They reentered the secret room behind the library. There were only four people there that night: Lucas, Lilith, Ingrid, and Selene. Veronica had deliberately stayed outside to keep watch, while Victoria had chosen to lock herself in her room after the i

The morning at the mansion felt much quieter than usual. After reading part of the journal, no one could truly relax. The secrets they had been searching for all this time were finally beginning to be revealed, but those answers only led to new questions. In the dining room, Selene placed a cup of warm tea in front of Lilith.“Have a little to calm down, Lilith,” she said softly.Lilith gave a small smile. “Thank you.”But as Lilith lifted the cup, the tea’s usually soothing aroma now felt flat. Instead, Lilith caught another scent, a very faint scent of blood. Lilith froze instantly. Her eyes slowly turned red.“Lilith?” Lucas, who was sitting next to her, immediately noticed the change.Lilith quickly closed her eyes. “I’m fine.”But the sound of Selene’s heartbeat was now so clear in Lilith’s ears. Louder and more alluring. Without realizing it, Lilith’s small fangs began to lengthen. Lilith stood up immediately.“I… I have to get out.”“Lilith!”Lucas stood up too. But Lilith had

The secret room was so quiet that they could clearly hear their own breathing. Lilith was still holding the old journal in both hands. Meanwhile, Lucas, Ingrid, Selene, and Veronica could only wait. They couldn’t read a single letter. Only Lilith could. Only the last heir’s blood. Lucas gently held Lilith’s hand.“Take a breath. You don’t have to read it all at once,” Lucas murmured.Lilith nodded slowly. She closed her eyes for a moment, trying to calm her racing heart. Then, she looked down again at the page of the journal.“Lilith, if you’re reading this page, it means your transformation has already begun. Please forgive us. We know the path you’re taking will be filled with pain.”Tears welled up in Lilith’s eyes again.“What did your mother say?” Veronica asked.Lilith swallowed hard. “Mom apologized for all the pain I’ll go through during this transformation.”Lucas gently squeezed her fingers. “I’m sure she had her reasons.”Lilith nodded and went back to reading.“We never cu

Silence enveloped the living room. No one spoke after the journal was proven to be empty. Victoria was still standing in place, frozen, her hands still clutching the black leather-bound book so tightly that it was almost bent in half.“That’s impossible. I risked everything just for this book!”Selene looked at Victoria with disappointment. “So it’s true, you were the one who snuck into the basement last night.”Victoria glanced at Selene, then let out a soft, bitter laugh.“I just wanted to know the truth. And if that journal could really save Lucas.” Her gaze shifted to Lucas. “Why can’t I know it, too?”Lucas shook his head slowly. “That’s not the issue,” Lucas interrupted. “The issue is that you chose to betray our trust.”Victoria didn’t answer; she simply bowed her head. But deep down inside, that sense of shame was slowly turning into hatred. Veronica looked at her with disappointment.“I didn’t expect you to do this,” Veronica muttered.“Maybe I didn’t expect it either,” Victo

The drive back to the mansion felt much quieter. No one said much in the car. Their minds were already filled with the same question. If the original journal was indeed at the mansion, then where exactly was it? Lilith stared out the car window. Her fingers unconsciously fiddled with the crescent-moon pendant now hanging around her neck. “If the journal has been at the mansion all this time… why did we only realize it now?” Lilith muttered. “Because we’ve always thought of the mansion as just a place of refuge, not a destination to return to, as a home.” Lucas, who was driving, replied without taking his eyes off the road. Ingrid nodded in agreement. “Your mother deliberately made all the clues point outward. Because anyone who betrays this family will keep looking in the wrong places.” Evening was turning into night when they arrived at the mansion. Veronica was already waiting in the living room. “You’re finally home. How did it go? Did you find anything?” she asked. Lil

That morning, the sky was still shrouded in gray clouds when a black car pulled away from the mansion. Inside were only Lucas, Lilith, Ingrid, and Selene. Veronica had chosen to stay at the mansion to keep watch. Meanwhile, Victoria, as usual, offered to help Veronica take care of the mansion.“Be careful,” Veronica said before they left.Lilith nodded with a smile. “We’ll be back soon.”Lucas opened the car door for Lilith first. That small gesture made Selene clear her throat softly.“You two really have no shame left, do you...”Lilith immediately blushed, while Lucas looked completely unfazed. “I’m just acting like I always do.”Selene snorted softly. “That’s exactly the problem.”Ingrid, sitting in the front seat, merely gave them a faint smile. For a moment, the atmosphere felt light. Yet they were heading to a place that might change everything.The drive took nearly two hours. The farther they left the city behind, the narrower the roads became, lined with wild trees. Lilith g

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 i

Noah’s private residence stood on the outskirts of the city. Modern, minimalist, and isolated. Glass walls. Steel frames. No warmth and no history. A place designed for someone who didn’t want to be found. Yet wasn’t afraid if he was. Lucas didn’t knock. He never had. The door opened before his han

“No!” His voice came out rough and unsteady.Lucas jerked back as if burned. The movement was sudden and very sharp. He turned away immediately, running a hand through his hair as if he were trying to tear himself out of his own skin.“This is exactly what I was afraid of, Lilith.”Lilith stood fro
Sire Bond: The Vampire's Obsession 14
Lilith didn’t leave the mansion that night. Not because she was trapped inside. But because something within her no longer wanted to run away from there. Lucas stood by the tall window in the library, moonlight framing his silhouette. Too still. Too quiet. Too inhuman. And yet, she felt safest ther
