Chapter 70

For a while, Selene managed to convince herself that nothing had changed. She still returned to Velkris when she could. She still listened to him speak in that low, dangerous voice that had once made her heart race. She still knew the exact expression that appeared on his face whenever he was amused, angry, or trying not to show that he cared. But there was something between them now. Something neither of them could pretend not to see. Lucas. His name had become an invisible presence in every conversation they had. Whenever Selene disappeared for days, Velkris knew where she had gone. Whenever she returned with another story about Lucas's progress, another discovery about his abilities, another plan for the creature she was determined to create, Velkris's patience became thinner. One evening, they stood beneath the dead branches of an ancient tree overlooking a valley swallowed by darkness. Velkris had been silent for several minutes. Selene knew that silence. It meant he wa

Chapter 71

Selene had always wanted more.More than recognition.More than power.More than the title of a witch whispered with fear.She wanted something that no witch from her coven had ever dared to reach for.Godhood.It had begun as a quest to prove herself.Then it became an obsession.And eventually, it became the reason she disappeared for months at a time, traveling across forgotten lands, crossing forbidden territories, studying ancient texts that had been buried beneath temples older than most civilizations.She had spent centuries preparing for one battle.The battle that would either elevate her above every witch who had ever mocked her...Or destroy her completely.There were legends among witches about the Ghosts of the Underworld.They weren't ghosts in the ordinary sense.They were remnants of beings who had existed before the current order of the supernatural world. Ancient entities that had refused death and, in doing so, had become something worse than demons.They lived bene

Chapter 72

It began so quietly that no one noticed.There was no explosion.No bloodshed.No supernatural battle tearing through the streets.There was simply a man sitting at his desk, staring at a computer screen, unable to remember why he had opened it.His name was Daniel.He had worked for Lucas for nearly four years.He was responsible. Punctual. Reliable.The sort of employee managers rarely had to worry about.Yet, for the past three weeks, Daniel had begun arriving late.At first, it was fifteen minutes.Then thirty.Then an hour.When his supervisor asked him about it, Daniel would stare blankly for several seconds before answering.“I don't know.”It wasn't laziness.It wasn't rebellion.Something was wrong.And Daniel wasn't the only one.Across Lucas's company, little things had begun changing.Employees forgot passwords they had used every day for years.Meetings were missed.Documents were misplaced.People fell asleep at their desks and woke up unable to explain how much time had

Chapter 73

By the following morning, the rumors had grown teeth.What had started as a strange story about twenty employees being dismissed from Lucas's company had become something far uglier. Every hour brought a new version of the story, and every version seemed more ridiculous than the one before it.Someone claimed the employees had uncovered illegal activities.Another insisted Lucas had fired them because they had threatened to expose a secret.Someone else swore the twenty workers had all disappeared.That one gained thousands of shares before anyone bothered to question how twenty people could simply vanish from one of the most recognizable companies in the city without a single police report.But the internet had never needed facts to create a monster.It only needed a rumor.And Lucas was becoming one.Screenshots began circulating.Old photographs.Business articles.Blurry pictures of him leaving his company.People dissected every expression on his face as though his eyebrows held

The first bolt of lightning split the night open.It came without warning.One moment, the forest was silent beneath a thick blanket of darkness. The next, the sky flashed white, illuminating the trees, the twisted branches, and the heavy fog crawling between them.Then came the thunder.It rolled across the woods with such force that the ground seemed to tremble beneath it.Birds fled from the treetops.Small animals disappeared into burrows.Even the wind seemed to hesitate.At the heart of the forest, where the trees grew so densely that moonlight could barely reach the earth, something changed.The air warped.A thin line of darkness appeared between two ancient trees.It widened.Then widened again.Within seconds, the darkness had become a massive opening suspended between the trees.A portal.Lightning struck somewhere beyond it.For a brief moment, silhouettes appeared within the opening.Tall.Distorted.Wrong.Something stepped through.Then another.Their forms seemed almos

Chapter 75

For the first time in days, things seemed to be settling down.The noise surrounding Lucas's company had finally begun to fade. The angry voices outside the gates had disappeared, the reporters had found newer stories to chase, and the endless questions about the twenty dismissed employees were slowly being replaced by other pieces of news.Aria's press conference had done exactly what she had hoped it would.People had heard the evidence.They had seen the documents.They had learned that the employees Lucas had dismissed weren't innocent victims after all.And, perhaps most importantly, they had seen Aria.The girl who had initially been painted as a mysterious nobody had suddenly become the woman standing confidently in front of dozens of cameras, defending one of the most powerful businessmen in the country.The internet had taken notice.At her school, people seemed to respect her more.Some spoke of her in hushed whispers when she passed.Some people praised her courage.Others

Chapter 76

By morning, the internet had found a new obsession. It wasn't the twenty employees Lucas had fired. It wasn't the mysterious company scandal. It wasn't even Aria anymore. It was Lucas himself. The photographs Elena Hart had uncovered had spread faster than anyone could have imagined. At first, people treated them like an amusing discovery. Then the questions started. And once humans found a question they couldn't answer, they rarely stopped until they had created an answer of their own.WHO IS LUCAS? The headline appeared everywhere. Social media pages reposted the old photographs. People zoomed in on the grainy images, comparing the man standing in the 1904 photograph to the businessman who appeared on television almost every week. Some claimed the photograph was fake. Others insisted it had to be Lucas's grandfather. A few people dug up photographs from 1920, 1938, 1956 and 1971. Each time, the same face appeared. Lucas. Or someone who looked exactly like him. And

Chapter 77

The world was burning. Aria stood alone in the middle of what looked like the remains of a place that had once been alive. Smoke drifted across the horizon in thick, choking clouds, turning the sky into a bruised mass of black and crimson. There was no sun. No moon. No stars. Only a strange, dim glow bleeding through the clouds, casting everything beneath it in a sickly red light. The ground beneath her feet was blackened. Cracked. Barren. Everywhere she looked, there was destruction. Trees stood like charred skeletons, their branches twisted toward the sky as though they had died reaching for something that never came. Patches of fire burned without fuel, their flames moving strangely despite the complete absence of wind. The earth itself seemed wounded, split open in places where dark smoke rose from beneath. Aria stood frozen. Her breathing quickened. "What..." Her voice sounded wrong. Too small. Too distant. She turned slowly, searching for something familiar. Anyth

Chapter 78

The rumors had not died.If anything, they had learned how to breathe.By the time Aria returned to her apartment the following morning, the internet had transformed Lucas's name into something almost unrecognizable. Every few minutes, another headline appeared, another theory was born, another stranger who had never met him spoke with absolute certainty about the man she loved.MYSTERIOUS BILLIONAIRE OR SOMETHING FAR MORE SINISTER?WHO IS LUCAS VANE? THE MAN WHO NEVER AGES1920 PHOTOGRAPH SPARKS QUESTIONS ABOUT BUSINESS TYCOONVAMPIRE, IMMORTAL, OR THE WORLD'S BEST-KEPT SECRET?Aria stared at the last headline for several seconds before letting out a long, exhausted sigh.“Vampire?”She rubbed her forehead.“Seriously?”She dropped her bag beside the couch and sank into the cushions, staring blankly at her phone.It should have been funny.Under different circumstances, she probably would have laughed at the ridiculousness of it all. Vampires. Immortality. Secret identities. Humans i

Chapter 79

The mansion had never felt this quiet. Not peaceful. Quiet. There was a difference. Peace had warmth to it. This silence felt like the moment before something broke. Lucas stood before the enormous windows of his study, staring down at the city below. Thousands of lights glittered beneath the night sky, but he barely noticed them. His reflection stared back at him from the glass—cold eyes, rigid jaw, hands clasped behind his back. On the desk behind him, three phones continued to light up with notifications. Another headline. Another rumor. Another question about a man who had spent centuries making sure nobody asked questions about him. Levi stood several feet away, holding a tablet. “It keeps getting worse.” Lucas didn't turn. “I know.” “The old photographs have been reposted everywhere. Someone has even created a timeline comparing every photograph of you from 1904 to now.” Lucas's jaw tightened. Levi hesitated before continuing. “And the vampire theory is still ga
