All Chapters of Lucian's Undoing : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

CHAPTER 62The Hall of Ascendancy was ancient, carved into the high cliffs of Seraph's Reach. Gleaming crystal pillars stretched to the heavens, casting prismatic shadows on the marble floor below. Amaria stood at the center, her eyes glowing faintly gold beneath her hood, the silken threads of her robes whispering as she turned to face the approaching footsteps.Cassiel arrived first, his silver armor reflecting the light of the sunstone. "You summoned us, Amaria?""Yes," she said simply.Raziel appeared next, his dark robes billowing like smoke, his expression unreadable. "I assumed this was another matter concerning Elias.""It isn't," Amaria said. "This is older. More dangerous."Erelah descended in near silence, her hair flowing like moonlight, her eyes wide and curious. "You look disturbed, Amaria. That rarely happens."Amaria nodded solemnly and extended her hand. A glowing orb hovered above her palm, and within it flickered an image—a man with dark hair and golden eyes, his ve

CHAPTER 64The morning sun filtered through the windows of the mansion, golden light slanting across the polished floors. Despite the brightness, the air felt heavy—quiet in a way that unsettled the three who stepped into the kitchen.Dorian, Kai, and Lucian moved slowly, glancing toward the table where Elias already sat.He didn’t look up.His hair had turned completely white overnight, cascading like a veil over his sharp features. His eyes, though half-lidded, still glowed faintly—a dull, distant light pulsing from within. He hadn’t touched the untouched plate of food in front of him. He just sat there. Silent.Kai whispered, “He hasn’t moved?”“No,” Lucian murmured, leaning on the counter. “He’s been like this since the basement. The power hasn’t left him.”Dorian stepped closer. “Elias,” he said gently. “Are you alright?”No answer.Kai frowned, moving to pour himself tea. “This isn’t good. He’s not even blinking. It’s like… he’s watching something we can’t see.”Lucian’s jaw tic

CHAPTER 66Elias hadn’t moved in over five minutes.He stood death-still, shoulders slightly hunched, arms limp at his sides. His hair had returned to its white-blond sheen, falling in strands over his face, but his glowing eyes hadn’t dimmed. They were unfocused, burning with some eerie internal light, like staring into a distant star.Lucian hovered a few steps away, tense. “He hasn’t blinked.”“No shit,” Dorian muttered. He took a slow step forward. “Elias?”No response.“Elias,” Lucian tried, louder this time. “It’s done. You’re safe. You got it out.”Still nothing.Inside the hidden plane of his consciousness, Azazel paced like a caged animal. “What the fuck was that?” he snarled. “That wasn’t me. That wasn’t you. That sure as hell wasn’t you.”Thal’rean stood calmly with arms folded. “I don’t know.”Azazel spun on him. “No. Don’t do that—don’t go all quiet and cryptic on me. He expelled Tzareth. Expelled. As if it were a choice. As if he had control. That wasn’t our power, so wh

CHAPTER 68Kai lay sprawled on the bed, breath shaky, his body still twitching from aftershocks. But Dorian didn’t give him long to recover.He hovered over Kai, his weight pinning him down, sweat-drenched skin hot against his own. His lips found Kai’s shoulder, biting down hard enough to leave a mark.Kai hissed, arching back into him. "Dorian—""Don’t think we’re done." His voice was wrecked, gravelly. "I’m not nearly done with you."Before Kai could answer, Dorian grabbed his jaw, forcing his mouth open. He slid two fingers in, pressing them deep onto his tongue. "Suck."Kai moaned around them, cheeks hollowing as he obeyed. His eyes fluttered closed, his lips wrapped tightly, tongue swirling. He tasted salt and skin."That’s it," Dorian breathed, eyes locked onto his mouth. "Such a fucking pretty mouth."Without warning, he pulled his fingers out and reached down, circling Kai’s hole with the wet digits before pushing both back in roughly.Kai's eyes flew open. "Fuck—" he gasped,

CHAPTER 70Hours later, Lucian sat beside Elias, their knees occasionally brushing. Across from them were Kai and Dorian—Kai with slightly tousled hair, Dorian as calm and unreadable as ever.For a few moments, the only sounds were quiet chewing and the occasional clink of cutlery. It was almost peaceful.Until Elias narrowed his eyes at Kai’s neck.“What the hell is that?” he blurted.Kai, mid-chew, blinked. “Huh?”Elias leaned forward slightly, pointing with his fork. “Your neck, Kai. You look like you were mauled by a wild animal.”Kai choked a little, eyes widening. “I—it’s not—” He reached up to cover the mess of dark red-purple hickeys scattered low along his throat. “Elias!”“Oh my gods,” Elias said, breaking into a grin. “You let Dorian devour you.”Kai’s entire face turned a shade of red Elias hadn’t known humans—or vampires—were capable of. “I did not! It wasn’t—Shut up!”Dorian didn’t flinch. He just reached for another piece of bread.“Oh no, no, you’re not getting away wi
