All Chapters of FOREVER BOUND IN DARKNESS : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Writer's POV The night was calm, with the moon shining brightly in the sky. Emilio stood in the park near Lucas's home, his hands clenched into fists. Lucas had called him just a few minutes ago."Stay where you are. Don’t move. I’m coming," Lucas said. But Emilio couldn’t just stand there. Something felt wrong. The air felt heavy, and his gut told him trouble was near.Then he saw Vikram. Vikram stepped out from behind a tree, his sharp eyes fixed on Emilio. There was no need for introductions. They knew each other well, and neither had ever liked the other.“So, it’s you again,” Vikram said, his voice was cold. “The one Lucas is risking everything for.”Emilio didn’t back down. He stood tall, meeting Vikram’s glare. “I’m not going anywhere, Vikram. Lucas made his choice. You should respect it.”Vikram’s mouth curled into a bitter smile. “Respect? Do you even know what you’re talking about? You don’t belong here, Emilio. You’re out of your depth. Lucas deserves someone stronger. Som

Mackenzie's POV I couldn't believe what I was hearing. The room around me seemed to spin, and I struggled to stay grounded, my hands trembling as I clutched the old, leather-bound book that had brought me here. Laura was sitting across from me, her face pale and wide-eyed, trying to process the same shocking information I had just uncovered."Mackenzie... what do you mean, you're a carrier of Elyrian Blood?" Laura asked, her voice barely above a whisper.I ran a hand through my hair, trying to steady my breathing. "I know, it sounds insane. But it’s true. According to this book, the vampires have been searching for people like me for centuries. I—I never knew. I thought it was just a myth. But this... this is real."Laura leaned forward, her brow furrowing in confusion. "How did you even find out? Why would you be a target for them?"I swallowed hard, feeling the weight of the truth pressing down on me. "I found out by accident. I w

Emilio's POV The phone buzzed on the table, the sound slicing through the silence like a blade. My hand hovered over it, reluctant to pick it up. I already knew who it was. Vikram and Red didn’t exactly call for casual chats. With a sharp exhale, I grabbed the phone and pressed it to my ear.“Emilio,” Vikram’s smooth, calculated voice greeted me, sending a chill down my spine. “I’m glad you picked up. We’ve got a problem. Or rather, you do.”I clenched my jaw, gripping the phone tighter. “What do you want, Vikram?”There was a brief pause, then Red’s voice cut in, rough and mocking. “It’s not what we want, Emilio. It’s what you’re going to do for us. Unless, of course, you don’t care about that sweet girl, Mackenzie.”My heart stopped.“What did you do?” I growled, my voice low and dangerous. But I already knew the answer. Red lived for games like this, and Vikram was just the kind of bastard to let him play them.“Relax,” Vikram said, his tone far too casual. “She’s fine. For now. B

Lucas's POV The alarms screamed in the background, a sharp reminder that we were running out of time. My feet slapped against the cold floor as I pushed myself forward. I shouted back, desperate to keep us moving.“Emilio, come on! We have less than two minutes!”“Wait!” Emilio called out, suddenly stopping in his tracks. “Did you hear that?”I groaned, my frustration spilling over. “Hear what? All I can hear are the alarms telling us we’re about to blow up!” This whole thing is messed up.I looked head of me and caught if glimpse of Red, he was walking to the other end of the building.He ignored me and tilted his head, focusing. “No, there’s someone. Someone’s calling for help.”“We don’t have time for this!” I yelled, grabbing his arm to pull him along. “If we don’t move now, we’re dead!”He pulled away from me, his eyes locked on something I couldn’t see. “I’m not leaving whoever is there behind! It might be Mackenzie.” he said firmly, and before I could argue, he took off in th

Lucas’s POV"What the heck!?" Mackenzie's voice cut through the air, shaky but loud enough to make us freeze. Emilio and I immediately pulled apart, our heads snapping toward her direction. My heart was racing, not from what we were doing moments ago, but from the sheer embarrassment of being caught in such an intimate moment. She was leaning against the doorway, looking pale and weak, but the shock on her face was unmistakable. Her eyes darted between the two of us, taking in the disheveled state we were in. "Uh…" I started, but no words came out. "Are you two…?" she trailed off, pointing at us as if she couldn’t even say the words. Emilio, still shirtless and visibly uncomfortable, cleared his throat. "Yeah. We are," he said simply, his voice steady despite the tension in the room. Her mouth fell open, and for a moment, she looked like she didn’t know what to say. Then, as if she had recovered from her initial shock, her expression shifted to something I couldn’t quite p
