    Three days passed.Isabella cowered in a corner of the sun-dungeon, her body covered in burns.In the throes of extreme pain and terror, she bit her cracked lips and finally played what she believed was her last trump card.The Kindred had lost its only Princess and was at its most vulnerable.So, the thralls she had bribed in advance attempted to sneak into the Kindred's blood reserves to poison them.If she could not have the position of Princess, she would see the entire clan burn with Seraphina.But Damien had anticipated her madness.With the sharp insight and decisive action of a Prince, he had already purged all of Isabella's remaining forces. The few thralls who tried to poison the reserves were killed on sight."I knew it. A snake like you would bite again."The fires of hell churned in his deep red eyes as he pinned Isabella to the cold metal wall.Under the crushing weight of his absolute power, Isabella couldn't move a finger. Her face twisted in a mask of despair as she sh

    My soul floated in the air, watching it all unfold.Just as Damien was weeping over my disintegrating body, the manor door was pushed open.Isabella walked in with a light step, that same triumphant smile on her face.She had no idea what had transpired."Your Highness, I'm back!"She put on her sweetest, most cloying voice, preparing to nestle into the arms of the Kindred's most powerful being, as she always did."Today's Elder Council meeting went so smoothly. I've already convinced them to support my…""Oh, by the way, I think I saw my sister downstairs earlier.""She was seen with some low-level vampires in the city center. She hasn't been to the Group in days.""Damien, please don't be angry with her, okay?""Sister probably just needs to think things through. You can just give her a little scolding with your power…"Her words died in her throat.Damien shot to his feet, and the immense power of the Prince erupted from him.Isabella was caught completely off guard, sent flying by

    Damien continued to scroll through the phone, each new entry plunging him deeper into despair.When he saw the evidence that Isabella had once tried to kill me directly, his hands began to tremble violently."That 'accidental ambush' last century, that useless Seraphina was almost blown to bits by the hunters…""I gave them the route. Pity the bitch was too stubborn to die and got picked up by the patrol.""But it doesn't matter. The high-purity vervain will rot through her organs sooner or later.""Once she turns to ash, I'll be the one and only true mistress of the Nightfall Group.""That fool Damien will be twisted around my little finger, right where he belongs."Damien couldn't read any further.His noble, stern face twisted with remorse."Seraphina…" he reached out a trembling hand, wanting to touch my cold, translucent cheek. "I'm sorry… I didn't know… I really didn't know…"I hovered near the ceiling, coldly observing this belated display of grief.Watching his pained and despe

    I floated in the air, watching everything unfold in the antique shop.Maria said nothing, simply leading them through the store.She pushed open door after door.When a body covered with a deep blue velvet cloth was finally revealed, Damien and my parents froze.The air seemed to solidify."What is this! Why did you bring us here? What kind of joke is this!"Damien's voice trembled, laced with a powerful, ominous premonition.He rushed forward in a fury and tore off the velvet cloth.When he saw the familiar face, his entire world collapsed.It was Seraphina.His Vow-mate. His wife.She lay there, peaceful as if asleep, her body taking on a translucent quality, on the verge of dissipating.A faint, almost imperceptible smile lingered on her lips.As if she had finally broken free from a centuries-long, vicious curse.But she would never open those clear eyes again.The searing pain of the vow's complete severance from hours before struck the depths of his Blood Core like lightning once

    Isabella frantically rummaged through her luxurious walk-in closet, the sound of bottles and jars toppling over filling the air.She tore open every drawer, overturned every box.Under the leather sofa, in secret compartments, even in the deepest corners of the shoe cabinet…Her movements were as frantic as a bat cornered by hunters, cold sweat beading on her forehead.After tearing the entire room apart, she still couldn't find the one thing that could save her."Isabella, what are you looking for in this mess?" Damien's voice was like ice from the depths of hell.Isabella spun around and met Damien's crimson eyes, her legs turning to jelly."I…" she stammered, "I'm not feeling well. I was looking for the antidote.""Is this it?"Damien's long fingers lifted slightly, holding a small vial of a deep blue potion between them. He had found it in the most hidden compartment of the climate-controlled wine cabinet before she returned.Isabella's face went white with terror.She knew better

    In the top-floor holographic conference room of the Nightfall Group, Damien was presiding over a multinational board meeting crucial to the Kindred's survival, his face a cold mask.Suddenly, his private phone lit up with the highest-level encrypted red alert.The sender was Seraphina."What new trick is this?" he muttered impatiently, tapping it open.But when the recording began to play, his face instantly turned deathly pale.Isabella's voice came through, clear as day: "From the day I moved in, I've been lacing your blood packs with vervain…""The trap with the hunters, the vervain in your blood, all my handiwork…""So just die peacefully. Once you've turned to ash, I'll be Damien's one and only love."The audio ended with a shrill, maniacal laugh.The boardroom fell into a deathly silence.The Kindred elders and executives seated at the long table looked at each other, too stunned to speak.Just then, a violent pain erupted from Damien's Blood Core.It felt as if someone had drive
