*Logan*

I lay in my bed, propped up on the pillow that smelled of apple pie, and watched both my girls sleeping, curled on the massive bed, holding each other's hands. An intensely red, warm quilt with Christmas gift patterns shines in your eyes like the glow of a burning fire in the fireplace.

Vampires know no moderation in decorating, playing, eating, drinking, or in life in general. Their fortunes are always countless, their estates are exaggerated, and their tastes are tacky, starkly contrasting to my simple, balanced life.

My quarters in Andrew's grand mansion remained consistent, always the smallest yet still resembling a luxurious suite. However, they eschewed the use of gold embellishments, Persian rugs, and furniture from the Baroque era. I appreciate simplicity, but they went overboard in adorning my room, leaving it resembling the epitome of a picturesque scene from a Christmas magazine.

  • The Luna's Law   Chapter 176

    *Poppy*The night stretched on like a veil of despair enveloping us. I nestled into Logan's embrace, seeking solace in his warmth. Still, no comfort existed in a world riddled with uncertainty and betrayal. The weight of everything gnawed at me deep within - Easton, Azize, the chaos that had become our lives. I had cried until my eyes were swollen, my heart heavy with the knowledge of what lay ahead. As I inhaled his familiar scent, I tried to drown my sorrows in the rhythm of his heartbeat, each thump a reminder that we were still alive, that we still had one another.Logan's hand gently brushed through my hair, as if trying to soothe the anguish rippling through me. "You can't carry all of this by yourself," he murmured, his voice raw with emotion. "We will go through it. Together.""But what if it's too late?" I whispered, tears spilling onto

  • The Luna's Law   Chapter 175

    *Logan*The room lacked warmth, starkly contrasting with the chaos swirling outside. Andrew and I had secured a chamber deep within Andrew's mansion, far from prying eyes and curious ears. The heavy wooden door creaked ominously as we locked it, sealing us away with the truth that lingered just out of reach. On one side of the table sat Azize, her defiance slowly crumbling under the weight of her betrayal, while on the other sat Easton. This smirk, once danced across his lips, was replaced with apprehensive fury as the realization of our plans set in.As we awaited the Supreme Council's arrival, tension coiled around us like a suffocating vine, and I could sense the dread hanging in the air. Dr. Kyle stood off to one side, preparing syringes filled with a potent truth serum. His brow was furrowed in concentration, a stark reminder that even the most precise plans could unravel inst

  • The Luna's Law   Chapter 174

    *Logan*The tension in the air was thick as we stood atop a ridge overlooking the area Azize had revealed. The river bent lazily around the rocky outcrop, glistening under the pale moonlight, but I felt no peace. Instead, I was a coiled spring, ready to launch into action. Andrew flanked me, his eyes sharp and determined. We flanked an unusual escort tonight: a handful of royal guards and Andrew's Shadws - a covert group skilled in stealth and combat."Is this really the place?" Andrew asked, his voice low as he scanned the terrain.Azize had described a cave near the riverbend, where Easton was supposedly hiding out with resources for his black market dealings. But the more we studied the surroundings, the more I sensed we were being led astray."It's suspiciously quiet," one of the guards murmured, as if re

    *Poppy*The hospital room was hushed, filled only with the rhythmic beeping of monitors and the soft rustle of nurses moving in and out. Lex lay unconscious, his face pale against the stark white of the sheets, but there was a quiet resilience to him that sparked hope in my heart. I sat by his side, clutching his hand. At the same time, ever vigilant, Anastasia stood near the window, her worried gaze flitting between Lex and the darkening skies outside.I could barely process Sybilla's betrayal. How could someone who'd been trusted turn on us so easily? Every passing moment filled with anxiety mounted the weight on my chest. The council's reaction was unpredictable, and fear of what lay ahead gnawed at me.Anastasia caught my eye, and I could see the unspoken questions forming between us. "He's healing," she said softly, her voice a balm against

  • The Luna's Law   Chapter 172

    *Logan*The shadows around us shrank under the weight of my confusion. I crouched next to Azize, shock rippling as I processed her betrayal. Andrew stood beside me, his fists clenched, the tension in his posture radiating anger and disbelief. We had just tackled our family member, and now the implications of her presence in the cell loomed over us like dark thunderclouds."Why, Azize?" I demanded, the edge of my voice sharper than I intended, but this was an impossible reality. "How could you become a part of Easton's madness?"She glared at me, defiance flickering in her eyes despite her restrained position on the ground. "You don't understand anything, Logan. Easton speaks of our future, where we don't have to bow to weak rulers. We can build something greater."Andrew's voice broke through the tremor of di

  • The Luna's Law   Chapter 171

    *Logan*After transporting Azize to Andrew's private dungeons in his valley, I was swept up in a whirlwind of emotions. It was hard to reconcile the betrayal of the sister I had known and loved. A deep sense of disbelief gnawed at me; how could she turn her back on us? I couldn't shake the questions racing through my mind—what had happened between them? What dark secret did Easton hold over her, convincing her to abandon her blood?As I secured her cell, ensuring that it was impenetrable and that no one could intervene, a heavy weight settled in my chest. Locking the doors seemed like sealing away a part of my soul. This was not just a sister in chains; it felt like I was restraining my hopes and dreams of a united family. I imagined Andrew's reaction when he was finally awakened in this grim place. Would he be wrought with anger or sorrow upon discovering Azize trapped here,
