George's POV I no longer had the security guards stationed outside my building, but I couldn’t bring myself to venture back into the main castle. I threw myself into the project instead, and, to my relief, it wasn’t difficult, thankfully, I had an engineering background. It felt almost like second nature to me, and before long, I had taken full control of the project. The absence of Damian had been an adjustment, though. He was the only person I felt remotely at ease with, but he had informed me he had ‘business’ to attend to, and with that, he had left.So, I was on my own. It felt strange at first, but the work demanded my focus. And so, the days bled into one another, each moment absorbed by the project.One afternoon, while I was engrossed in overseeing the construction, I felt a strange presence. Looking up, I caught sight of Alpha standing on a hill in the distance. He was watching me. For a brief moment, our eyes locked, and I held my ground. A brief flicker of something p

George's POV The following morning, I woke up before dawn. After my bath I made tea. I leaned against the counter, my mind preoccupied, until the sound of footsteps drew my attention.Damian arrived soon after, he gestured for me to follow. He led me into the castle. For a fleeting moment, I was able to hold Kael. I handed him to a nanny afterwards.Luna appeared then, stepping into the room with a quiet grace, ready for whatever the day held. Alpha stood by her side, his strong arms wrapping around her, pulling her close. He kissed her tenderly on the lips, and though it was a simple gesture, the bond between them was noticeable. I felt a pang of longing, wishing for something as solid in my own life.The journey to wherever we were headed was long, and soon, we moved outside. A carriage awaited, its sleek, polished wood glinting under the rising sun. Damian and I sat opposite Luna. I deliberately avoided eye contact, knowing her gaze would be far too penetrating.As the carriage

George's POV Louve’s gaze didn’t waver as she explained, “His blood is very rare in this world. He’s not just any human. He has a strong spirit. I need his blood.”I stared at her for a long moment, considering the implications. But my mind was already made up, and nothing would stop me. Not even the price of my own blood.“Have it,” I said, my voice unyielding.Luna’s eyes were wide, her expression one of disbelief, of deep concern. She clearly didn’t support what I was about to do, but she didn’t say anything. She didn’t have to.“What other payment can we give?” Luna asked, her eyes darting between me and Louve, but the concern in her tone was unmistakable.Louve’s smile twisted into something cruel, a sharp glint in her eyes as she leaned forward, taunting. “Stop being a baby, Luna,” she mocked. “He’s willing to give me his blood. What’s the problem?”Luna’s breath hitched, and she sighed, her hand pressing against her temples as if trying to stave off a headache. “This isn’t r

George's POV Louve guided me deeper into the cave, her silhouette barely visible in the oppressive darkness. My breath hitched when Louve finally stopped and lit two torches. The sudden burst of light revealed an eerie chamber filled with strange artifacts pulsating with an energy I couldn’t comprehend.“Lay down,” Louve instructed.Reluctantly, I obeyed, the stone floor cold beneath me. She moved methodically, placing peculiar artifacts around me, each one glowing faintly as if reacting to her touch. “One piece of advice,” Louve said, her tone sharp as she looked down at me. “Be sure to come back. No matter the temptation or how good it is.”Before I could process her words, a searing pain erupted through my body, as though I had been set aflame from the inside. A guttural scream tore from my throat, echoing against the cave walls. The agony was relentless, fire coursing through every vein, burning away reason and thought.I tried to move, to curl into myself or flee, but somethi

George's POV I woke up with a gasp, my chest heaving as I dragged air into my lungs. For a moment, my surroundings were a blur, the darkness of the cave disorienting me. I blinked rapidly, my mind sluggishly piecing together where I was and what had happened. I turned around instinctively, searching for Louve. She wasn’t in that part of the cave. I felt different. Stronger. Yet there was an oddity to it, a strangeness I couldn’t place, as though my very essence had shifted.A sharp, searing pain shot through my body, and I doubled over, clutching my side. My broken arm began to mend itself, the fractured bones knitting together with an agonizing slowness. I groaned. I could feel my ribs shifting, realigning with an audible series of cracks that made my stomach churn. My leg followed suit, the muscles and tendons repaired themselves. Within minutes, I stood fully healed.I barely had time to process this impossible transformation when I heard footsteps echoing. My nostrils flared,
