LUTHER held my hands and begged, “Stop using these hands to kill people and surrender now, Pa.”When I closed my eyes, I saw him trying to wipe my tears away. He kneeled beside me and with a haunted look on his face, he whispered, “Pa… why do you love seeing me suffer? Don’t be like this. Stop killing me. My heart is not as strong as yours. I’ve barely recovered. Please don’t kill me again. If you do that, I don’t think I could survive again. Do me a favor. Just this one thing. If I’m going to die, at least let me die by the enemy’s hands. Not by my father’s. That would be too much of a tragedy, don’t you think?”My shoulders shook when I wept for the countless time today. When I was younger, I didn’t know why a father would treat his son the way he treated me. I made a vow to be different once I become a father myself. But I was no different. I had hurt my own flesh and blood. I trampled on Luther’s heart so many times before and even attempted to kill him.I didn’t even get to teach

(Suzanna)“LUTHER is surrounded by many good people. That even if something were to happen to me one day, I am not worried at all. I know you will be there for him. May it be as Suzanna, the chef, or something more. You’ve stayed silent for so long. And I have nothing against that. There is peace in silence. But I believe there is bravery in standing your ground and speaking up.“There is hope, too, that the moment we end our silence, it could be the stepping stone for things to get better. I believe in you, Suzanna, the way you believe in Luther that’s why you stayed with him this long. I hope when the right time comes, you will make the right choice.”I almost cut my finger when I heard Alexandra utter those words. I put down the carrot and the knife on the table before I looked at her, wide-eyed.“What are you saying, ma’am Alexandra? I don’t understand. By chance, is this a prank?” I pretended to look around even if I didn’t feel any presence near the kitchen aside from hers.Alex

I unconsciously dropped the gun I was holding. My knees weakened that I had to lean on the rock formation inside. This can’t be real. Kenji and I grew up together. We even played video games together when we were teens. We hang out together, went to bars when we were still in our rebellion phase, and then we changed together.We always did things together. From planning the headquarters, dreaming of freedom, to executing that plan. There had to be a hidden camera somewhere in this place. Kenji must be cooking up another prank and just dragged poor Uncle Magnus in this.Uncle even went to our house to offer his prayers for my family a bunch of times and made us recite bible verses, for heaven’s sake. How could someone like that be a Vampire?“Kenji, what’s the meaning of all this? What are you doing there? This is a joke, right? You must have wanted to get the sword to surprise the team so we wouldn’t have to exhaust ourselves in trying to get it. And you succeeded. I’m proud of you, b

MASON walked away while putting his earphones on as if he didn’t want to hear the sound from the gun.“That asshole! If only I didn’t need money, I wouldn’t have worked for him,” the guard uttered. The rest of the guards followed him out. Only two guards were left to monitor me.When Mason closed the door, the guard in front of me still looked extremely pissed. But his expression changed upon seeing a glimpse of my breasts. “You are going to die soon. It will be a complete waste if we were to throw your body right away. Why don’t I play with you for a while?” He laughed. “At least while you’re still soft and warm. What can you say, lady beast?”“Quit it, Rico! Sir Mason would kill you if he finds out what you’re planning to do.”“No one would find out if you wouldn’t run that big mouth of yours, Arki.” Rico winked at the other guard. “Besides, if you’re envious, we can share. You know me. I love sharing good stuff.”When the guy called Arki eyed me with lust, I did my best not to show

ALPHA Calypso turned off the television after hearing the news about Mason. The latter was currently in prison, but he might be moved to a mental institution if the doctors had proven that he was not stable enough. According to the report, he had been screaming and crying nonstop ever since the cops found him running amok.It made perfect sense. Beatrix said that Mason had witnessed how his nephew and his adopted son had turn into wolves and killed his men. Giovanni even chased Mason away while the Luna called the cops. Luther’s men, on the other hand, had ‘cleaned’ the area and no traces of the tragedy were found afterwards.“When Mason was caught, the cops said that he was crying like a child. ‘Serves him right. I wish he suffer for the rest of his life. I wish that the images of Luther and Giovanni shapeshifting will forever haunt him,” Beatrix said, anger was still evident in her eyes.This morning, I found out that contrary to what I was thinking, I was asleep for two straight da
