Chapter 31

I barely had time to comprehend his words before a gust of wind rushed at the windows, shuddering them. My breath was trapped in my throat as the shadows in the room appeared to move, stretch, and take on a life of their own.Abbadon moved in front of me. One second he was holding me, his warmth seeping into my skin, and the next, he was a blur, standing between me and whatever lurked out there in the darkness. His entire demeanour changed-gone was the teasing, the arrogance. In its place was something feral, something horrifyingly lethal.A flash of movement out of the corner of my eye.I barely had time to register the presence before they advanced-hooded figures in darkness, their faces obscured behind blank masks. My stomach churned, my pulse a deafening drum against my ribs.The masked men.The ones who had ambushed my pack. The ones who had tried to take me before.Fear gripped me like a vice.I stepped back involuntarily, my mind shouting at me to run, but my body refused to co

Chapter 32

Abbadon exhaled slowly, his gaze falling to my lips before he lifted them back to my eyes. There was something unreadable in his face, something restrained—like an animal held on a thin leash."I have to go," he whispered, his voice heavy and low.A stinging pain of something I didn't know twisted in my chest. Disappointment? No. I wouldn't acknowledge it."Where?" I asked, hating the way my voice betrayed me, soft and quavery.His fingers trailed over my wrist again, tracing the still-warm sheen of crescent mark. "You already know I'll come back, little wolf."My breath halted.Then he bent close, his lips tracing over my forehead, a temporary caress that shivered through me. Barely even warmth before he pulled away."I won't just return, Elara," he breathed against my skin. "The next time will be to take you along with me."I curled my hands into fists. "And if I refuse?"His lips curled into a smile, something wicked and aware glinting in his red eyes. "You won't."I was left with

Chapter 33

The cold wind sliced into my skin as I emerged from the house before daybreak, when the sky was quiet still wrapped in its rich early-morning blue. My breaths blew away in small clouds, muscles already tight in anticipation. I had trained before—had fought under my father's guidance-but this... this was different.My grandfather stood at the clearing, his presence unspoken command. No greeting, no warm-up. The moment I reached him, he stirred.A blow of wind caused me to back up hastily before l even knew he had punched.I barely had the chance to react before he was on me again. His urgency was unnatural— nothing like I was accustomed to. My father's training had been strict, inhuman at times, but this…this was more like fighting against the force of nature itself.I tossed up my arms, blocking his next blow, but the blow sent a shooting pain through my body, my feet scrabbling in the dirt as I fought to keep my feet.\"Sloppy." His voice was level, controlled."You rely too much on

Chapter 34

I took a breath, but before I could say anything, the ceramic mug beside me exploded.Porcelain shards flew off in every direction, a cracking, snapping sound filling the room.I shrieked, backing away. My heart was thumping in my ears.My grandfather's eyes widened for a moment before he concealed his reaction. He stood up, moving toward me with an even-controlled composure."Elara," he said slowly. "Did you do that?I shook my head wildly. "No—I don't think—I didn't mean to—"I looked down at my hands. They were trembling, my fingertips filled with a strange, static sort of energy.My grandfather's eyes slitted with something unreadable. "It's beginning earlier than I expected."I swallowed. "What is beginning?"He looked at me for a moment before he spoke. "Your powers."I knew exactly what he was talking about.The witches gene in me was activating itself.I gasped unevenly. "Is this dangerous?"His jaw clenched. "That depends.""On what?""On whether you can rein it in."I stared

Chapter 35

The knocks came again. Three slow, deliberate thuds that sent a shudder through the walls.I swallowed hard, my pulse hammering in my ears. My grandfather’s grip on my arm tightened, his entire body going rigid. He looked scared.That terrified me.The air was thick, charged with some power I could not understand. The whisper that had curled around the kitchen was gone, but its presence remained on my skin. I could feel it, like eyes unseen in the dark.Something me told me to run. Some other part—something old, something deeper—grabbed my shoulder and held me still.My grandfather went out first. Slowly, cautiously, he made his way towards the door. His fingers were clenched at his sides, ready for combat. I trailed behind, breathing softly, my fists clenched into a protective glove to hide the faint tremble in them.The door creaked as my grandfather opened it.And there he stood.A lanky, dark-coated man stood in the doorway, straight and upright, with a coat that flared just bene

Chapter 36

The door clanged shut behind him, throwing an oppressive silence over everything. My grandfather and I did not stir, the magnitude of Lucian's presence overwhelming us both. My mind wrestled to knit the pieces together from what he'd left, trying to find sense within them.Lucian. A vampire who insisted he had witnessed my birth. His familiarity with my mother, his dark prophecies about Abbadon and an impending war—it was too much to bear. I could feel my stomach knotting, fear and confusion battling inside.I looked to my grandfather, searching his face for answers. His face was a storm of emotions—anger, fear, and something else I couldn't quite name. He glared at me, and we just stared at one another for a moment, the unspoken questions hanging in the air like a dark cloud.I finally spoke, breaking the silence. "Who is he? How does he know me? Know Mom?My grandfather sighed slowly, combing a hand over his silver hair. "I don't know, Elara. But vampires of his age. they do things

Chapter 37

Darkness enveloped me like a suffocating cloak. My body was light, floating in an empty space where time was irrelevant. Then, a voice—a deep, commanding voice—roused me to consciousness."Elara."A creeping, agonising awareness. My body ached, the insistent throb of my shoulder wound reminding me of what had occurred. My head ached, and when finally I forced myself to open my eyes, I was met with the faint light of candles.I was wrapped in heat, the scent of firewood and something unmistakably familiar—cold night air and dark spice.Abbadon.I blinked, the vision blurring before focusing. I was in my bed, buried under heavy blankets. The dancing light was from the fire in the fireplace. And beside me, sitting in a chair, was Abbadon.He leaned forward, elbows on his knees, his eyes fixed on me with a ferocity that caught my breath. His stern features were un readable, yet his jaw was clenched, fists curled. His presence took over the room, commanding and somehow… protective."You're

Chapter 38

The fire cast flickering shadows across Abbadon’s face, highlighting the sharp planes of his jaw and the quiet intensity in his eyes. His presence was steady, unwavering, like an anchor in the storm of my thoughts.“I won’t ask again tonight,” he said, his voice softer this time, almost gentle. “Just think about it, Elara. But don’t take too long. You’re not safe here.”His words hung between us, heavy with unspoken necessity. He wasn't questioning, yet there was something in the fact that he looked at me—like he wanted to lift the weight from my shoulders, but saw I had to be the one to make the choice.I nodded, the motion vague. My throat was constricted.Abbadon held my gaze a moment longer, as if memorising me, before he finally stepped back. The cold night air rushed in where his warmth had been.“I’ll be back,” he murmured. Then, without another word, he melted into the darkness.I sat there long after he was gone, staring at the flames. The warmth of the fire did nothing to th

Chapter 39

The figure stepped fully into the room, his presence warping the air around him. He was tall and hooded in dark, firelight-consuming robes. His skin was oddly smooth, almost synthetic, and his eyes—icy, colourless voids—locked on me like a predator pinning its prey."Elara," he drawled, his voice sending shivers down my spine. "The cursed one."My grandfather moved in front of me before I could, his shoulders squared between us. "You're trespassing." His voice was even, but I could hear the steel beneath it.The wizard didn't even glance at him. His eyes never left mine, his lips curling into something between disgust and amusement. "I have waited a long time for this."I forced myself to stand tall, despite the fear creeping into my bones. "Who are you?"His gaze flicked to my wrist, where the crescent mark pulsed gently, as if it was responding to him. "A hunter of things unnatural. And you, Elara, are a mistake that was never supposed to exist."The words hit me, but anger swelled

Chapter 40

The next day, the house felt less full, like the attack had drained the very life from it. The air was thick with the residual smell of magic and smoke, pieces of last night's fight still scattered around the floor.I was standing in my room, staring at the half-full bag on my bed. Clothing, essentials, some items I couldn't possibly bear to leave. It didn't feel real—hitting the road with my life, leaving everything behind that I had come to know. My hands hovered over the bag, hesitant.Where am I even going?I sighed, ruffling my hair. My grandfather had made it clear—I wasn't safe here. And Abbadon. he had saved me, twice now. But that didn't necessarily mean I trusted him absolutely.And the worst part? I had no idea how to reach him.I didn't have his number. I didn't know where he lived. He just—showed up. Always. Like he had a sixth sense of knowing when I was in danger.Would he come back if I just waited?I nibbled my lip, gazing towards the window. The sunlight entered thro
