Chapter 50 - A shocking outcome

The sun was bright outside, hitting my face at a perfect angle. I felt it heating my cheeks and giving me a glowing feeling.I scrunched my toes in the grass under my feet and inhaled the scent of the sun-drying wet sand and earth. That smell made me happy.I was back at the cabin Lukas had brought me to, the one he was remodelling with his construction company. I loved it so much that he bought it for us.Its placement in the woods was perfect and private, and a lake wasn’t too far from the cabin. I could reach it in under a ten-minute walk. Its water was a clear green, and a wall of trees protected the lake. No other cottages or houses were nearby, making it a remote and quiet place to spend my days or work on tanning my pale white skin—which was no easy feat.A twig snapped behind me in the woods, so I hurriedly plunged back into the lake’s calm waters.I kicked my legs and pushed my arms to swim faster, aiming to reach the center of the small pool. When I resurfaced, I swirled arou

Chapter 51 - Memories and blood cannot lie

I folded my arms over my chest and stared deeply into Ventura’s eyes. Had it been his plan to bring me here all this time?I looked at Arthur with resentment.“You keep saying you want to free yourself from the commands of a vampire, yet you’ve made a deal with another? I don’t see why you need me if you have him on your side.”“Ventura must maintain appearances with his vampire dealings. That’s where you come in. I’ll free us of Harrington’s influence if we have a powerful weapon to remove him from his seat over the biggest company in this city.”My gaze moved to both men in fearsome concern. The vampire’s eyes bored into mine with heat and cunning. Those were schemer’s eyes. Ventura held no allegiance to Noctua. Why would he? Ventura would be crazy to let go of this golden opportunity for the same reasons Jace’s father kept Noctua in his fold all those years. Once Harrington fell and Ventura took control of the company, I doubted he would release my grandfather’s men so easily. They

Chapter 52 - William Raith

Lukas POVWhen I returned to the city, I went straight to Jace’s house, but no one answered. Not even his housekeeper, Mrs. Dunkan, which was odd as she followed him anywhere he lived unless ordered otherwise. I found it odd that some vampires pledged their lives to serve one specific family, but who was I to judge what was weird and what wasn’t?One thing I did know was that I could smell Max had been here, although the scent was fading and days old.Where the hell had she gone?I jumped back on my motorbike and drove to Salvatore’s boxing gym. Nothing indicated that she had been here in the last week, so I went to her apartment and found the same smell I had encountered at Jace’s house.Max had come here not too long ago. However, the scent appeared and disappeared on the street, which meant she or someone else drove here and left the same way.Fuck! She could be anywhere by now!I angrily removed my leather jacket and slapped it on the back of my bike. My hands flew in my hair, and

Chapter 53 - Failed experiments

A young woman lay on the floor of my room, wriggling her body in pain. Her eyes were bloodshot, and I saw her temples and neck veins pop. She was dying—choking on blood.I crouched in the corner, urging my eyes to look away from the gruesome scene, but I couldn’t peel them off her. She looked pathetic, and it was all my fault.I hated myself.She had been the fifth victim they forced me to feed on to the point of death. Ventura then urged my blood down the woman’s throat and broke her neck. The vampire said they had to die with my blood in their system for their bodies to transform. All five subjects returned to life, only to die—confused, in pain, and alone.“I don’t understand why it’s partly working. The subjects came back but died soon after,” Ventura shouted with a bang of his fist on the steel table.My body jerked from the sound. I didn’t know how much more I could take. Those people died because of me. They didn’t want this, and neither did I. Arthur executed five innocent vict

Chapter 54 - The escape

They moved me to a new room, and I pulled and twisted the padded collar installed around my neck. The staff connected it to a chain attached to the wall. No matter which way I turned it, it didn’t come off. The same restraints on my wrists prevented me from leaving the room or escaping.They chained me like an animal, and I felt wild and dangerous. The blood I had drunk from the first five failed test subjects flowed through my veins, and there was no longer any sedative to dull my senses.Vessels underneath my skin burst, and a warmth coursed through me like fire. This sensation wasn’t normal, and I attributed it to the excess blood rushing through me.I pulled again on the chains bound to my wrists and gritted my teeth from the exertion. Tiny cracks formed where the metal hooks were bolted on the concrete wall, but I wasn’t strong enough to tear them down and free myself.I didn’t have long until Ventura returned, and I didn’t plan on welcoming him back.I stopped pulling when the do

Chapter 55 - Safe haven

Death was all around me. I was the angel who appeared without notice and reaped the lives of everyone standing between me and the forest line.Everything had been a blur. I remembered tumbling outside a set of heavy, double doors. The fresh air hit my face, and each breath I took wasn’t quenching my thirst for it. It was nice to be out—to be free.I was standing outside a compound, and a little further ahead was the black mass of a forest.Sirens were ringing in my ears, and flashes of red lights had guards running everywhere around me. It took time before some of them noticed me, and when they did, they pulled their guns out and aimed.After the rain of bullets whistling in my direction, something took over me, and I remembered nothing until I stumbled into the dirt and grass inside the woods. The wet medical gown clung to my body and was no longer a pale blue colour. It looked black under the moon’s glow.I dug my nails into the earth and slowly crawled until my head cleared. When I

Chapter 56 - The congregation meeting

Jace POVI silently walked alongside the president of the Harrington and Leigh Corporation. I did my best to match his long and determined strides, wondering what kind of meeting we were heading into.Whenever the vampire congregation met, it was always an event. It didn’t happen often, and it only did when urgent matters needed to be settled. Lately, those meetings had been composed of newly turned vampires, the deaths they had caused, and how to control the media so that it wouldn’t come out to the public. Staying in the shadows was important to vampires, so any time a vampire made waves that would disrupt our livelihood, meetings like this one occurred.Although I was well aware of the dealings in those meetings, my father rarely brought me along with him, so it surprised me when he asked me to join. I didn’t mind, but it wasn’t an activity I particularly enjoyed.The last meeting with the congregation I attended was when my mother was “killed” by vampire hunters. The assembly had m

Chapter 57 - Bittersweet reunion

I stayed under the warm water for what seemed like hours. Every time I went under the stream, the water pooling under me was dark brown and disgusting from the dried blood I was furiously scrubbing off my skin. My hair was the worst. It was matted with tree twigs and dirt.“A good thing my hair is black.” I scoffed, running my fingers through the strands to untangle them.When I was satisfied, I got out and patted myself dry, taking caution when I touched the thigh that got impaled. Luckily, I was healing quickly. I returned to the bedroom and found a pile of clothes on the foot of the bed. Lukas must have brought them up. After all, I had arrived with only the soiled medical gown.I shook my head, thinking I had run into the forest buck naked with only a thin fabric to cover myself.I inspected my feet before putting on a pair of warm socks. The soles were still sore, but fresh pink skin covered the cuts. I lifted my arms to pull the loose shirt over my head, and I was relieved that m

Chapter 58 - Round two

I didn’t know where I was going, so I let my feet guide me until I found a path and followed it. It led me to a small lake. It seemed like the one I had seen in my dream.How was that possible?I shook my mysterious thought from my head and spotted a big rock bordering the bank. I went to sit on it, then looked out at the rippling lake, which was gently lapping against the shore, and found the scenery peaceful. It helped clear my mind from the trauma inflicted on me while imprisoned in the Noctua compound.My body sagged, and I hid my face in my hands. What exactly happened when I escaped? Was Arthur really dead? Many questions flooded my brain, drowning me in guilt and shame. I couldn’t lose control like that again. Ever.“My whole life is fucked up,” I huffed and dropped my chin over my folded arms.“I wouldn’t say that,” Lukas answered. He propped himself beside me and stared into the distance. “You have people who care what happens to you. Mortimer and Beatrice always watched you,

Chapter 59 - Is all fair?

I rolled to the ground and quickly got back on my feet. When I looked up, Lukas was standing above me. The setting sun behind him created a halo of orange, pink, and gold around his imposing black frame, making me almost squeak out of fright.After our second round of sex, we returned to the cabin, and I confessed everything to Bea and Moe, who had arrived. My compulsion ability didn’t surprise them, and they immediately covered me in a hug after I told them what had happened to me at the Noctua compound. Their action melted away the icy fear of their rejection and made me feel more at peace with who I was becoming.I was still high on sex and adrenaline, so I asked Lukas if he wanted to brawl a little with me. I hadn’t trained in weeks, and I could feel it in my restless body that I needed a good workout—other than kicking my boots off with a hot Alpha male.“Use his height to your advantage!” shouted Moe from the porch. “Stay low.”Moe was happy to watch and offer comments as he scru
