Chapter 41A few moments later, Valkiria was absentmindedly tracing patterns on his chest."It was better than I imagined," she said with a satisfied sigh.Adrian remained silent for a moment."Lord Vlad is going to kill me for touching you."She laughed, running her fingers along his jaw."Nonsense. I don’t belong to anyone."He looked into her eyes."You are his sister.""Exactly. Sister. Not property."Silence.She leaned in and kissed him with a tenderness she had never shown anyone before. Not even when she was human."I have to go. I need to work and take care of some matters. I’ll be back tomorrow.""Valkiria...""I’ll be back," she repeated firmly, leaving no room for refusal.She dressed unhurriedly, casting glances that tested his self-control, and left the library with her usual elegant posture.Adrian stood still for a few moments, absorbing what had just happened. Then, sighing, he adjusted himself and left. He thought it would be best to take a shower to calm his persist

Chapter 42

Chapter 42The next morning, Elena was the first to step out into the mansion’s outdoor area. She was wearing a robe, her hair tied back. She stopped at the edge of the pool and touched the choker around her neck.“I didn’t imagine I would wake up alone,” she said, sensing his presence even before hearing him.Vlad appeared behind her, dressed in light linen pants, his chest bare.“I am never far away,” he replied softly.Elena turned, placing her hands on her hips.“So you were watching me?”“Always.”She laughed, feigning indignation.“That’s invasive, Mr. Darkmoor.”“It’s preventive,” he corrected with a smile.Vlad picked her up and stepped into the water with her in his arms. The water was warm, automatically heated during the night.She moved away slightly, swimming toward the center of the pool. Vlad watched her as he removed his pants.She dove under and surfaced again.“You’re thinking too much,” she accused.He tilted his head.“I’m thinking the world out there has been rest

Chapter 43

Chapter 43Adrian watched the human hurry up the stairs and went to the library. As soon as he walked in, he forgot for a few seconds how to speak. His eyes found Valkiria, and the world seemed to narrow down to her.She immediately noticed the effect she had. An almost imperceptible smile appeared on her face.Adrian blinked, swallowed hard, and forced his mind back to the present.“Miss Elena ran upstairs… stumbling. She seemed very worried about what she heard behind the door.”Silence. Vlad remained still.“Damn.”Valkiria crossed her arms.“I warned you,” she said firmly. “She heard enough to grow suspicious.”“Where is she now?” Vlad asked, heading toward the door.“In her room. And… crying.”He left the library with steps faster than any human’s.“It’s time to choose,” Valkiria murmured to herself. “The truth… or lose her.”He stopped in front of the bedroom door. He closed his eyes, afraid of her reaction. But he couldn’t hide it any longer; she would grow suspicious.Then he

Chapter 44

Chapter 44She took a deep breath."I need to know something.""Ask whatever you want."Elena lifted her face and looked into his dark eyes, searching for something there that was not just desire or obsession."Why did you become interested in me? What is so special about me?"Vlad felt his Adam’s apple move as he swallowed.He answered without looking away."I was married before I was turned." His voice grew deeper and more distant. "That bastard killed my wife, my children... and left me as a living corpse to suffer the loss of my family for all eternity."Elena blinked in surprise."Vlad...""I arrived too late." His jaw tightened. "The smell of blood was still in the air when I found their bodies."She struggled to breathe."And me...?"He looked at her with an almost painful intensity."You, although you are not physically the same..." he hesitated for a moment, as if aware of the weight of what he was about to say, "are her reincarnation."Elena’s heart seemed to miss a beat."W

Chapter 45

Chapter 45After Valkiria left the mansion, the house fell into complete silence. Adrian had purposely disappeared to take care of the property, leaving only the couple in the living room.Vlad held a crystal glass, sitting in one of the armchairs, slowly swirling the whiskey while watching the liquid, lost in thought.Elena remained standing for a few seconds, simply looking at him. Now that she knew the truth, everything seemed different… and at the same time exactly the same.She walked to the sofa and sat sideways, resting her arm on the back while watching him."You don’t get drunk, right?"Vlad looked at her and laughed."Unfortunately not."He brought the glass to his lips and took a small sip."It would be an interesting luxury to forget some things every now and then."Elena tilted her head, curious."Then why do you drink?"He watched her before answering."For the taste…" he swirled the glass again, "and for the habit. Some habits survive centuries."She crossed her legs on

Chapter 46

Chapter 46After the intense moment between them, Vlad remained inside her and asked playfully,"Can you handle more?"Elena laughed, still breathless."I can handle you. Forever, if you want."He kissed her slowly."Then let's find out how long ‘forever’ can last."He lifted her into his arms and carried her back to the bedroom, not caring about the papers scattered across the office floor. The night would be long for them.The next morning, Vlad and Elena arrived at the office together. The routine seemed the same as always. To anyone watching, they were simply two executives starting another workday. But for them, everything was different. Elena now knew who he was.They entered the private elevator together. During the ride up, Elena noticed his gaze was more alert than usual."Is everything okay?" she asked quietly."It always is when you're with me."Minutes later, they were in the main conference room. The executives were already seated, speaking in low voices while waiting for

Chapter 47

Chapter 47"Vlad… you… you killed him."He looked at her seriously."It was either him or us."Elena sighed, frightened."He wasn’t human?""He was," Vlad replied coldly. "But he was sent by wolves. There was no way to trust him."She slowly shook her head, trying to process what had just happened."That idiot would have ended up dead anyway," Vlad continued. "By me… or by the one who hired him."His eyes narrowed slightly."Only a complete fool would hire a human to come after me. But now I know one thing."Elena swallowed hard."What?""Next time… they’ll be smarter."Silence."Wolves…" she repeated slowly. "You mean… werewolves?"He let out a short sigh before stating the obvious."Yes."Elena closed her eyes for a moment."Of course. Vampires, werewolves… what else exists that I still don’t know about?""More than you would like to know," he answered honestly.She laughed nervously."Great. My fiancé is a five-hundred-year-old vampire and now I’ve discovered there are wolves tryin

Chapter 48

Chapter 48They heard howls coming from multiple directions. Adrian stood up, his eyes black as ink. Valkiria grabbed the silver dagger with its sheath that was still resting by the fireplace and strapped it to her thigh, ready for use."How many do you sense?" he asked quietly."At least seven. Maybe eight." She tilted her head, scenting the air. "Two are circling by the greenhouse. The others are coming straight through the front. They’re young… they smell like adrenaline and rage. Newly turned wolves."Adrian gave a cold smile."Good. Less experience, more recklessness."They knocked down the main gate. Valkiria ran to the living room window and pulled the curtains open at once. Under the light of the nearly full moon, three massive silhouettes crossed the lawn at terrifying speed."They’re not waiting for permission," she murmured.Adrian stood at the front door, calmly unlocking it."Then let’s welcome them."When the door opened, the first wolf leaped inside. Adrian stepped asid

Chapter 49

Chapter 49The wind began to blow hard. The moonlight simply disappeared. Suddenly the room darkened, the lights going out for a few seconds. The flames in the fireplace trembled.A black blur, larger than any natural shadow, crossed the window in a second, with wings that beat once before folding.The giant bat landed on the wooden floor, spun around itself in a furious whirlwind, and in less than a second Vlad was standing in the center of the room in his human form. His long coat vibrated with the sudden movement of the transformation, and his red eyes glowed like embers in the dark.He saw his sister leaning against the railing, a silver arrow lodged in her side and pain written across her face. He looked at Adrian, who was also injured.He crouched beside Valkiria, touching her face gently as he assessed the severity of the silver in her body."Valkiria..." he said in a low voice.She slowly opened her eyes, forcing a smile despite the pain."You arrived... early... brother."Vla

Chapter 50

Chapter 50Vlad walked through the forest like a shadow among shadows. The spell ran through his veins, making everything sharper.The trail narrowed, giving way to a natural stone passage covered in moss and filled with flowers.Hundreds of them. The scent was sweet, sickening, laced with something chemical that would make any human drop to their knees within seconds—hallucinating, paralyzed, or falling into a deep sleep. A classic pack trap for hunters or human intruders.Vlad stopped at the entrance of the passage. He tilted his head and inhaled deeply.The smell was strong enough to irritate even his vampiric senses. He laughed softly.He crossed the passage. The sky was beginning to brighten. Ahead, among the more spaced trees, stood an old structure.Gray stone covered with black ivy. It was not recent. It was old. Perhaps as old as he was.Vlad slowed his pace.On the path leading to the house, figures began to emerge from the shadows of the trees.Men.At least a dozen.Partia
