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 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 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 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 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
