121. Permission to Enter the Lion’s Den

We returned to the mansion and acted as if nothing had happened. When we reached the upper floor, we heard Evelina’s chirpy voice, sounding impatient. The twins glanced at me, signaling that I shouldn’t go into the room yet. We crept down the hallway and peeked through the slightly open door.“This is an important event. I don’t want my makeup to look ordinary,” Evelina said to the makeup artist.“Yes, Mrs. Evelina. I can give you a look that’s glamorous and elegant.”I looked at Gabriel and Nathaniel. Evelina must be talking about the gala. Neither she nor Father had told us, not even the twins.Even Isolde, who lived quite far away, made the effort to come because the invitation was addressed to the whole family.Strange… it was as if Father didn’t want any of us kids to attend.And honestly, if none of us had been told, there’s no way Nathaniel or Gabriel would’ve wanted to go to the gala. We were intentionally kept in the dark!Now the problem was… how could we go without making E

122. A Twist in the Ballroom

“I hope you mean what you said,” Dad said flatly. Then he walked ahead of me, but I knew that was his signal, permission granted for me to attend the gala. The twins tried to hide their excitement and immediately linked their arms with mine as we followed Dad to the front. Unfortunately, I couldn’t see Evelina’s expression. She must be absolutely disappointed.We got into the car, and no one said a word. But behind Dad and Evelina’s seats, the twins and I were busy texting. We communicated through chat; it was nerve-racking and fun at the same time.Nathaniel: “Gabriel and I will search the upper floor of the mansion. We already agreed on that, right?”A moment later, more messages from Isolde, Tisha, and Dimitri popped up, confirming their parts of the plan.Before I realized it, the one-hour drive brought us to Katerina’s mansion—one of the division leaders of Nightshade. I suddenly wondered… Is this the same Katerina Alexei mentioned before?A strong female leader who doesn’t hes

123. Chosen Againts My Will

I took a deep breath and swept my gaze around the room. The guests’ faces were filled with shock; no one reacted right away. Until one pair of hands began clapping—followed by another, and another—growing into a loud, cheerful applause. It was all just for show. Every single Nightshade member here probably wanted to tear me apart.How could I get the privilege of becoming Katerina’s apprentice so easily, if not because of my father? That had to be what they were thinking.But now wasn’t the time to dwell on that, or the announcement Katerina just made. I needed to get out of here as soon as possible. The others needed my help to find Alexei.“Isn’t it a bit too soon to announce this?” a voice spoke from within the crowd.I turned to see Vlad stepping forward, pushing through the guests as if he wanted all the attention. And yes, everyone immediately turned to him.A diplomatic smile curved on Vlad’s lips. “I’m not questioning your decision, Katerina, but…” He glanced at me briefly. “

124. Through the Back Door

GABRIEL’S POVThis hallway feels like a damn maze. Nathaniel and I were running around on the top floor, dodging guards while searching for Alexei. This mission was way too dangerous; with every heartbeat and every breath, I kept thinking we should just abort the mission. Finding Alexei was like searching for a needle in a haystack.“He’s not up here,” I said between pants.“We’re looking for Alexei. So we keep looking.” Nathaniel narrowed his eyes at me. “And stop complaining, you’ve said that like two hundred and thirty-four times.”It was seven times. Why did he always exaggerate like that?I didn’t want to argue with Nathaniel anymore, so we kept searching. But my instincts told me Alexei wasn’t being hidden here. If he were inside Katerina’s estate, he’d be kept somewhere far out of reach, somewhere like a basement bunker.“Is there even a basement here?” I asked. “Why don’t we look there?”“That’s Dimitri and Tisha’s job. If we don’t find Alexei here, then we head down and look

125. The Battle for the Throne

The uneasy feeling hit me the moment I entered the ballroom with Dimitri and Tisha. The crowd had split itself into three factions—whether they realized it or not, that’s precisely what happened. The first group was, of course, Katerina and my father. The second was Tisha’s father. And the third belonged to Vlad—and Victoria, who showed up out of nowhere.What was happening? Why did the atmosphere feel so tense? From each faction, I could feel the desire to attack, to tear each other apart.“They’re here,” one of the guests pointed out.The three of us exchanged looks. As soon as they saw us standing together, someone from Tisha’s side immediately pulled her toward her father. Then Victoria grabbed Dimitri away, not forgetting to shoot me a sharp, nasty glare.I looked toward my father and Katerina; they nodded, signaling me to come closer. Carefully, I walked toward them while keeping an eye on the peopl

126. A Father's Last Secret

I stepped out of the ballroom and saw Dimitri arguing with Victoria. I had no intention of eavesdropping; I just needed to find out where Father and Evelina were. And of course, I had to make sure Alexei was safe.But Dimitri and Victoria’s argument was impossible not to hear—Victoria was speaking so loudly that her voice echoed through the corridor.“What were you thinking? My father gave you a chance to become a candidate for leader! And you just threw it away!” Victoria snapped furiously.“I don’t want to be Nightshade’s leader. I’ve never wanted that,” Dimitri bit back.“Then what do you want? I worked so hard to convince my father, and you treat all of this like some kind of joke!”“The point is, I can’t do it. I’m even thinking maybe this relationship shouldn’t continue.”“What did you say? Say it again, Dimitri!”I turned my face away, pretending not to see them.But suddenly, someone grabbed my shoulder from behind. I spun around and swatted away Victoria’s hand.“What the hel

127. A Rescue in the Dark

ALEXEI POVThe sound of footsteps coming down the metal stairs made me instantly alert. In this dark room, every noise was more evident, and the beam of a flashlight flickered like a firefly darting quickly along the steps. The flashlight pointed directly at me as the footsteps drew closer. I narrowed my eyes at the brightness.“Mr.Alexei?” The whisper was familiar.The flashlight shifted toward the girl standing not far from me. “It is me,” she added.“Isolde?” I could hardly believe I was looking at one of the students from Bastorin standing before me. Not just one, but two more as well: Gabriel and Nathaniel.Something surged sharply within me at the sight of them wandering around such a dangerous place. A place where they absolutely should not be. What were they thinking, taking a risk like this?“What are all of you doing here? Get out of here!” I hissed in frustration.Nathaniel’s sharp eyes showed clear annoyance, and a soft grunt escaped his lips. He moved toward me, stepping

128. One Shoot, One Goodbye

Father immediately stepped in front of me, one hand stretched out toward Evelina. She clenched her jaw, the barrel of the gun still pointed at us. Slowly, Father motioned for me to move back with his other hand.No. I didn’t want to run or hide. I wouldn’t stand by and do nothing if something happened to Father.“Put the gun down, Evelina,” Father said softly but firmly.“You bastard, Alistair! You’ve been lying to me this whole time! I thought you loved me, I thought you cared about my children and me!” Evelina let out a low, bitter laugh. “But it turns out… the only one you ever cared about was your own daughter.”“I care about Gabriel and Nathaniel,” Father replied calmly. “They’re my children too.”“You lied!!” Evelina spat.My eyes darted to Father’s hand, still motioning for me to step back. I hesitated, then slowly edged toward his desk. There was no exit from here, and hiding behind the desk wouldn’t save me.I needed to do something—anything—to distract Evelina long enough fo

129. The Grief

If time could be turned back, there are so many things I wish I could’ve said to Father. How deeply I regret the way I used to think of him—how I believed he didn’t love me, how I felt I was nothing but a disappointing daughter he never wanted.I took a slow breath, trying to hold back the tears that once again slipped down my cheeks. The pain of losing him didn’t fade with time; if anything, it grew heavier. The wound widened, leaving a hollow mark inside me.Outside, the weather was bright, and I could hear the cheerful chirping of birds—like nothing had ever happened around this mansion.Life had to go on after Father’s death, even though I didn’t know if I had the strength to continue. The person who held me up all this time was now gone.My bedroom door was gently knocked on. When I turned, Isolde was standing in the doorway. She walked in and hugged me tightly. We cried together in silence.After my sobs quieted, I loosened my embrace. Isolde wiped the tears from my cheeks.“I’m

130. My Father’s Grave, Their Power Game

The rumble of a car engine approaching the mansion gate made my steps freeze. I turned toward the gate just as one of the guards came to check, while the others stayed on alert. My brows pulled together when I caught sight of the nose of a black car creeping in.“Who is that?” I asked, torn between curiosity and anxiety.“Nightshade,” the guard answered quickly. “Mrs. Katerina.”I stiffened, so did Isolde and Gabriel. With one swift tug, Gabriel dragged Nathaniel back inside the mansion. Nathaniel started thrashing and rambling, and before I could react, Isolde stepped forward and swung her fist.SMACK!!Her punch landed squarely on Nathaniel’s face, knocking him out cold. Gabriel and I stared, wide-eyed, at her impulsive move.“Hey, better than letting him blurt something dangerous, right?” Isolde said, glancing between Gabriel and me. “Now hurry, get him to his room and lock the door.”The guards quickly helped Gabriel carry Nathaniel away while I stood beside Isolde, ready to greet
