Lucien POV

The knife hit the floor with a metallic clang.

Kael stood in front of me, his chest moving up and down under his gray hoodie. His silver-ringed eyes were wide, staring at my neck where a single drop of my dark blood rested over my collarbone. His hands were shaking badly. I did not think it was because he was scared. It was like he was remembering something he did not want to think about.

I stayed still, keeping my back pinned to the heavy quartz door. My heart beat fast in my throat

    Kael POVThe four orbital shells exploded in mid-air above the spire and turned to harmless white ice from the last surge of the Sanguine Eclipse. Quiet fell over the glass dome. Inquisitor Vane lay unconscious near the broken console, bound in iron chains by Julian and Mara. The secondary fleet was gone, retreating into the dark storm clouds as the blood moon slowly faded into normal night.I leaned back against the stone wall of the private security room. My boots slid on the floorboards.Lucien kicked the heavy steel door shut and threw the bolt with a sharp metallic clatter. He turned around. His broad shadow filled the small space. His dark broadsword rested against the wooden table, but his crimson eyes stayed locked on my face.“Julian has the upper bridge secured,” Lucien said, voice low and rough. “There will be no more attacks tonight.”I unzipped my velvet coat and let the heavy fabric drop onto the wooden chair beside the bed. “And Vane?”“Locked in the lower cell under Ju

    Kael POVA bright red beam shot down from the sky and cut through the glass dome of the Apex bridge. The glass shattered into a thousand glowing pieces. Four hundred feet below in the Sump, the main street turned crimson as the orbital laser painted the old brick buildings red.Vane stood behind the central console with his hand jammed into the iron override socket.“Look at it!” Vane rasped. His white robes blew in the cold wind pouring through the broken dome. “The Sanguine Eclipse feeds the primary core! In thirty seconds, Sector Four turns to ash!”I raised Julian’s light pistol and aimed straight for Vane’s head. “Drop the key, Vane!”“Shoot me, Kael!” Vane laughed. His thin lips pulled into a mad grin. “My heart monitor is wired to the firing sequence! If my pulse stops, the beam fires instantly!”My finger froze on the trigger.***Lucien stepped in front of me. His broadsword swept through the air and blocked a stray energy arc from the wall.“Julian,” Lucien growled, voice lo

  • The Blood Sovereign's Omega (MM Romance)   Chapter 107: The Sanguine Eclipse

    Lucien POVA sharp metallic horn screamed through the spire’s air vents. The iron door frame shook against my back. Outside the narrow window, the dark storm clouds above Apex Tower split open. A giant blood-red moon cut across the morning sky.I stood from the wooden bench. My hand dropped straight to the hilt of my broadsword. A sick, cold rush hit my blood. The dark plasma flame on my blade flickered hard and dropped to half strength in one second. The cold cedar scent in my lungs felt distant and heavy.Kael sat up on the edge of the mattress. His dark hood fell back. The silver mark on his collarbone lit up with blinding white light. Pure Omega energy surged through his skin and pushed against the stone walls.“Lucien?” Kael asked. His silver-ringed eyes burned bright. “Your aura just dropped.”“The sky,” I growled, and pointed my blade at the glass.***Julian threw open the heavy steel door. He held his diagnostic pad with both hands. His face was pale. His rimless glasses caug

  • The Blood Sovereign's Omega (MM Romance)   Chapter 106: The Truce of Devotion

    Kael POVThe iron door of the security room clicked shut, blocking out the cold wind in the spire corridor. I sat back on the edge of the mattress, resting my boots on the floorboards. My velvet coat hung loose over my shoulders, exposing the open collar of my silk shirt and the pale silver mark burning beneath my skin.Lucien stood in the center of the room. His broadsword rested in its sheath against the wooden table, but his shoulders stayed rigid as stone. His crimson eyes stared at my face through the dim yellow light of the lantern.“You thought I would lock you in a cellar,” Lucien said. His rough voice was quiet, lacking its usual harsh edge.“You would have,” I replied, pulling my knees up toward my chest. “You almost threw Rin out the window three hours ago when my blood pressure dropped.”Lucien did not answer right away. He took two slow steps toward the bed, his boots making no sound against the floorboards.“I was terrified, Kael,” Lucien growled softly, stopping right a

  • The Blood Sovereign's Omega (MM Romance)   Chapter 105: The Confrontation

    Lucien POVThe iron door slammed shut as I kicked the frame into the latch. Rin backed up until his heels hit the wooden supply crates against the wall. He held his medical kit in front of his chest, his eyes wide behind his glasses.“Sovereign,” Rin rasped, his voice high and thin. “Keep your aura down! Elevated pressure triggers stress in early Omega development!”I did not lower my aura. The air in the room dropped ten degrees in a single second. White frost spread across the stone floorboards, crawling up the legs of the wooden table.“Get out, doctor,” I growled, my crimson eyes burning in the dim light.“Lucien, do not yell at him,” Kael said, sitting up on the cot.I turned my head. My gaze locked onto Kael’s face. He had pulled his velvet coat tight over his stomach, his knuckles white as he held the fabric closed.“I said get out, Rin,” I repeated, my voice shaking the steel wall frames.Rin did not wait for a third order. He threw open the door, scrambled into the outer hall

  • The Blood Sovereign's Omega (MM Romance)   Chapter 104: The Discovery

    Lucien POVThe iron door of the briefing room clicked shut as Julian stepped into the hallway.Kael sat in my lap on the wooden bench, his boots resting on the floorboards. His cheek leaned against my shoulder armor. Sweat dampened the dark hair at his forehead, and his breath came in slow, heavy hitches against my collar.I kept my left arm locked around his waist, holding him flush against my chest."I need to get my pistol, Vale," Kael murmured, his hand resting on my forearm."Sit still," I growled softly, my red eyes watching his pale cheekbones. "Your heart is beating like a trapped bird.""I am fine," Kael rasped, trying to push himself up. "I just need water.""You are not fine," I said.I shifted my right palm. My fingers spread over his heavy velvet coat, moving down past his belt line to check his core temperature. The skin beneath his clothes felt hot, almost burning through the thick fabric.Then, a sudden vibration hit my palm.***I froze completely.My hand stayed flat
