The Dreamweaver’s Deadly Reckoning Chapter 10
“No.”My answer was simple and final.Josie stared. “What?”“I don’t love him anymore,” I said, looking her straight in the eye. “Not at all.”The room fell into a dead silence.Josie suddenly broke down, tears streaming down her face. “You don’t understand! It’s not just about the Prince’s title!” she cried. “The High Council said if the clan is destroyed, Milton will be declared an ‘Outcast’! He’ll be stripped of his territory and hunted for eternity!”Milton’s face grew even paler.“And…” Josie sobbed, “to keep up appearances, I spent all of the clan’s core ‘Sacred Blood’ reserves…”“What?” Elder Amelia shot to her feet, looking more horrified than when she heard about the impending war.“The antiques to decorate the castle, the high-level potions to maintain my looks, the luxury cars for Milton… when the money ran out, I…” Josie cried harder. “I snuck into the underground vault and sold the three vials of ‘Progenitor’s Source Blood’ on the black market…”“The Source Blood?!” Marcus

“Lydia, I know you’re still angry, but…” Milton started.“Angry?” I laughed coldly. “Milton, do you think what I’m feeling right now is anger?”He paused. “Then what is it?”“Indifference,” I said calmly. “I am completely and utterly indifferent to your clan.”“That’s impossible!” Milton said, agitated. “This is your home! We are your family!”“Family?” I scanned the room. “When I needed support, where was this family?”Everyone looked down.“Lydia, we admit we were wrong,” Elder Amelia said. “But now is not the time to settle personal scores. The entire clan is facing extinction!”“Personal scores?” I walked toward her. “Elder Amelia, you think betrayal and deceit are just ‘personal scores’?”“That’s not what I meant…”“You’ve ruined this clan, and now you expect me to save it,” I cut her off. “Do you think I have an obligation to do that?”“What good does it do you to let the clan fall?” Milton asked angrily. “These clan members are innocent!”I looked at him and couldn’t help but la

By the time I returned to my penthouse after Chloe’s art opening, it was past midnight.My phone showed thirty-seven missed calls, all from Milton.And a string of texts:“Lydia, we need to talk.”“The clan’s situation is getting worse.”“The Black Obsidian Clan gave us an ultimatum this afternoon. We have 48 hours to hand over control of the blood banks.”“The Silver Wolf hunters have sent envoys. They’re demanding our immediate surrender.”“Lydia, I know you’re still angry, but this is not the time to be stubborn.”“Answer me! That’s an order!”That last message set me off.An order?I blocked his number.The next morning, I was savoring a glass of a rare vintage when my doorbell rang.The security monitor showed Regent Marcus and Elder Amelia standing outside.I opened the door. “What is it?”“Lydia, we need to talk,” Elder Amelia said, looking exhausted. “About the future of the clan.”“I’ve already said, the clan’s affairs have nothing to do with me.”“But the situation is dire,”

Milton’s voice, laced with the authority of his Prince’s command, rang out behind me.I stopped and slowly turned around.“Do you really think your Prince’s command still works on me?” I scoffed. “We broke the bond, remember?”Milton’s face tightened, and he dropped the authoritative tone. “I didn’t mean it like that…”“Then what did you mean?” I stared him straight in the eye. “Trying to force your ex-mate into submission with your bloodline power?”“I just want you to think about the clan!” Milton’s voice rose. “You can’t be this selfish! The eternal lives of so many are at stake, and you only care about a human’s art show?”“Selfish?” His words finally got to me. “Milton, who are you to call me selfish?”Josie stalked over, her chin held high. “That’s right. As the former princess, you have to help the clan through this crisis. It’s your responsibility!”“Responsibility?” I looked at Josie. “Excuse me, current princess, this is your responsibility, not mine.”“But I don’t know how…”

“Don’t be like that, Lydia,” Milton said urgently. “Breaking the bond was just… it was a mistake. We can re-…”“Restart what?” I looked at him, my voice ice.“Start over,” Milton took a deep breath. “The bonding ceremony just now didn’t count. Josie and I… that was just to calm the clan. You’re the one who matters.”Josie’s eyes widened. “Milton, what are you saying?”“Josie,” Milton turned to her, his tone sharp. “Go apologize to Lydia. Apologize for everything you’ve messed up.”“Why should I apologize?” Josie shot back. “I tried my best!”“Tried?” Milton snarled. “Your ‘best’ nearly destroyed our entire clan! Now apologize, or every single one of your couture gowns and limited-edition sports cars goes back!”The words “limited-edition sports cars” made me laugh coldly.I remembered thirty years ago, I’d found an ancient manuscript on the First-born bloodline that cost three million euros. I wanted to buy it to study, to strengthen the clan.What had Milton said then?“Lydia, now is

I froze.“What?”Realizing what she’d just let slip, Josie looked at Milton in a panic.“You messed up an ‘Embrace’ before?” I pressed.“It… it was just an accident…” Josie stammered.A memory flashed in my mind.Years ago, a group of new fledglings had collectively lost control, turning into blood-crazed monsters. I was away, dealing with an artifact, and the clan had to handle the emergency.By the time I returned, three of them had been executed, and a dozen elders were spiritually scarred.Milton told me it was because of “tainted human blood used in the turning.”The subordinate responsible for sourcing the blood was executed immediately. His name was never mentioned again.I was harshly criticized by the elders for my ‘lack of oversight,’ a failure that led to the tragedy. I was stripped of half my Dreamweaving privileges and it took me a full decade to earn them back.“It was you.” I stared at Josie. “You were the one responsible for sourcing the blood all those years ago. It wa
