Chapter 30:Sanaya’s P.O.V“Did she really think that trick would work?” I frowned as the elevator doors closed behind Asmara.Lancelin visibly relaxed as soon as the words were out of my mouth. “It usually does.” He walked over to me and pulled me into his arms, cupping my face tenderly in his palms. “Are you sure you’re okay? You don’t have any urge to doubt me or accuse me of cheating on you?”“Lance, if I had to accuse you of anything, it wouldn’t be because of Asmara.” I told him clearly because that’s what he needed to hear from me; the truth. “I’m intelligent enough to know that you’re not the kind of person who would suddenly decide to sleep with a woman who had both you and Acelin riled up, not to mention your mom as well.”A smile broke out on Lancelin’s face as a droplet of water dripped onto my ch

Chapter 31:Acelin’s P.O.VI rasped my knuckles on the mahogany double doors that guarded my mother’s parlor. The sound of the knock reverberated through the empty hallways and I took a minute to admire the woodwork while I waited on my mother to answer. Truly, there was none other like Michelangelo.“You called, mother?” I opened the door after I had permission to come in.“Filii amica mea!” (My darling son) My mother opened her arms for me with a gorgeous smile. “Come here!”“Salve mater,” (Hello mother) I went into her arms with a smile. “How have you been?”“Good, good,” she caressed my cheeks like I was still her little baby. “Come, sit. I’ve ordered to make your favorite cherry cobbler for desert today. You’ll be staying for dinner.”It wasn’t a request but a statement so I smiled an

Chapter 32:Sanaya’s P.O.V“Now…how about the name for Acelin’s mysterious lover.”I narrowed my eyes at Lancelin, debating on giving up on one of Acelin’s biggest secrets. Acelin usually didn’t hide things from his family and if he was hiding something then it meant that either he was really serious or still undecided. But as far as I’ve known, or as much as Acelin had told me, they had been together for over a decade. If it wasn’t serious then I don’t know what was.I sighed. A deal was a deal after all and Lancelin had kept his end of the bargain. “His name is Gustav Paltro; I think you know him with him being an Incubus and all.” I told him finally.“Gustav?” Lance raised his eyebrows at me. “The womanizer Gustav Paltro who has probably slept with every woman in New York City?”“Rude!” I made a fa

Chapter 33:Sanaya’s P.O.VI woke up to the sound of my alarm clock going off.Yawning, I rose from my bed and rubbed the sleep off of my eyes. It had been past midnight when I’d arrived home last night and thankfully, my mom had been asleep. But that doesn’t mean I’m in the clear. She’ll be interrogating me as soon as I come out of my room and it’s going to be FBI level interrogation.I didn’t know if it’s just my mom or mom’s in general, but she always finds out when I’m hiding something and she usually figures out what.So without wasting any more time, I go out of bed and stretched my muscles before slipping my feet into some comfy slippers and went into the bathroom to get ready for the day.I turned on the tap at the sink and closed my eyes so I could splash some water on my face but nearly froze my hands to find out the water was ice cold. Si

Chapter 34
Chapter 34:Sanaya’s P.O.VIt took me a while to realize that the mind-numbing feeling of despair I had felt the first time I’d seen him was completely gone.Now, looking at that handsome face, those deep blue eyes and that smile, I felt nothing but a slight sense of irritation towards him. Nothing else. It was like, after the initial shock of seeing the face of the man I once love had blown over, I now only felt what I thought I might always feel towards him…annoyance.“What do you want, Keith?” I narrowed my eyes at him.“Well, I would to talk but letting me in would be nice.” Keith shifted from one feet to another nervously but the smile was still intact on his face.“Sana? Who is it-Oh! Keith!” My mother could not have chosen a worse time to check on the door. “Why don’t you come I-”“No way in hell!” I snapped.

Chapter 35:Sanaya’s P.O.V“Where are we going?” I asked after I’d regained my composure. Thank you mother for embarrassing me in front of my boyfriend!However, I was even more embarrassed by the fact that I’d confessed to Keith that I was in love with Lancelin and he had to hear it indirectly rather than directly from me. But maybe Lancelin was trying to save me from embarrassment by pretending to not have noticed my little slip of tongue in front of Keith?“First, we need to drop by ReefWood HQ for a little help and then we’ll be heading off to Sanctium.” Lancelin opened the passenger side door to his car for me and once I was safely buckled in, he went to the driver’s side and got in. “What is Sanctium?” I asked Lancelin. “And where’s Martin?”“Martin had to take the day off.” Lancelin told me sounding a

Chapter 36:Sanaya’s P.O.VFor a few seconds, I just sat in my seat, looking at the glass dumbfounded.The red liquid trickled down the glass pane of the driver’s side window in a slow eerie manner. I watched the path of the red droplets without blinking. Was I supposed to do something? My mind was completely blank, devoid of any thoughts or feelings. My hands and feet seemed glued into place...like pieces of lead. There was something else also trickling down along with the blood. Some things…that did not belong in the window pane.I couldn’t hear anything except for a white noise. My vision blurred. The red becoming hazy before it came into sharp focus.A scream went up in the air, followed by another. And that was when my brain finally kicked into gear.I fiddled with the handle to the car door before swinging it wide open. I almost jumped out, only to be jerked back against the se

Chapter 37:Sanaya’s P.O.V“Oh, shit!”“What?” I turned to Amber to find her staring at the end of the hospital corridor, so I followed her gaze and met large, angry, emerald green eyes.Her dark hair was in a high ponytail and she wore a pure white shirt with wide bell-bottom pants with the jacket slung casually over both shoulders. She wore large silver hoops in her ears and her makeup looked all natural. She looked like the symbol of purity but now I knew to look beyond the surface, right to the blackness of her heart that no amount of white could conceal.“What is she doing here?” Acelin asked Amber. “Who told her about Lance?”“Bitch has her eyes tainted on Lance twenty four-seven.” Amber sneered. “Probably has eyes inside ReefWood or she might even be the reason why Lance is in the hospital.”But as Asmara neared the c

Chapter 38:Sanaya’s P.O.VI went to turn around but Acelin was suddenly behind me, blocking my exit.“Stop.” He told me, grabbing on to my shoulders and refusing to let go. “Look.”“You think this is some kind of a sick joke!” I spat at him but my voice broke.“Look!” Acelin growled and spun me around to face the glass, holding me in place with his inhuman strength. “Look!”My hands were balled into fists and my entire body was trembling from rage and betrayal. I refused to look at the man who could hurt me like this. Again! I was once again betrayed by the man I loved!A crash sounded from inside the room and I looked inside despite myself…to find the nurse on the floor, looking disheveled and flustered while Lancelin clutched his chest, panting like he’d run a marathon.“Leave!” His voice was hoarse an

Chapter 39
Chapter 39:Sanaya’s P.O.VI unlocked the door to Lance’s apartment and held it open so we could both enter at the same time. After two days in the hospital where the Lance’s specialist, also a Chrone in one of the Magean tribes, had fed him several dangerous looking liquids to boost up his healing and energy without having to feed, he was discharged to go home and rest well…and do an actual feeding for the sake of his health.Lance looked fine on the outside but he was weaker than normal and his healing was slow. The bullet wound was an angry red spot on his chest that refused to subside and X-rays showed the presence of scar tissues inside his chest as well. Those potions and antidotes could only do so much.“Why don’t you take a shower first and I’ll get dinner ready?” I told him a bit nervously.“Sanaya,” Lance cupped my cheeks. “You don’t
