All Chapters of The Vampire’s Obsession : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

He looked even more annoyed. “This is the least painful way to do this, Astra. Oscar bit Celeste’s neck to get her blood for this. I won’t do that to you since you clearly don’t want it rough.” He nearly rolled his eyes.“Is that… a good thing?” I really wasn’t making sense anymore.“What’s wrong with you? I’m being sympathetic here. It’s just a tiny cut.”I took a deep breath and stared at the blade. Getting hurt wasn’t new to me. I’ve been wounded in every way except in the heart. Damn. It’s just blood, and here I am, being dramatic.“Don’t worry, Astra. Your heart stopped beating the moment I turned you. You can’t get hurt there anymore.”“You’re so literal. I meant my feelings,” I muttered. He looked down on humans, but he had zero common sense too. “Can it just be a drop?”He nodded. “As long as your blood touches the paper.”“What is this for? I mean... I need exact details.”“That’s for unity. You’ll officially be marked as one of us—a member of the Nightfall Clan.”Okay.Just

“She’s just startled,” Erikson suddenly appeared, also looking concerned. “Don’t worry about her. You’ve got bigger problems.”“Elly!” a woman called out. The child immediately ran to her and hugged her tight. “What happened to my daughter?” she asked while calming the girl.That’s when I realized what I’d just done. I looked across the road—where I had been standing just seconds earlier. I glanced at Erikson. He was looking at me, shaking his head.“N-no. I think she just thought she was lost,” I said. “Please just watch your daughter more carefully. A lot of cars come through here.”The woman thanked me before leaving.I looked at Kristan. He was staring blankly at me.Erikson snorted—but not in a good way. “Looks like your friend is in trouble now, Lady Astra.”“W-what?”He stepped closer. I had never seen him this serious.“He saw you. Do you really think they’ll just let him walk away after that? No. We are a secret to this society. No one is allowed to know about our existence.

I stood and went to my room. I grabbed some clothes before heading to the bathroom. I took a quick shower to wash off the grime and stickiness from my body. As I combed my hair in front of the mirror, I suddenly thought of Mama.I went to get a jacket from the closet. I didn’t realize I had some new clothes. After bundling up against the cold, I opened the window and jumped down. I placed my hands in my jacket pockets as I walked through the dark.I visited Mama’s grave. I sat down and brushed away the leaves covering her tombstone. It had been a while since I last visited.The cold breeze brushed against my face as I tried not to cry again. I was trembling as I looked at her grave. Things wouldn’t have been this heavy if she were still here. Not like now, where the weight of the world seems to rest on my shoulders."Sorry, Ma. I won’t be able to finish school," I whispered, brushing my palm across her gravestone where her name was etched. "Sorry I had to kill your son to live again.

“Congratulations. You may start now.” She let go of my hand, grabbed a drink from her desk, and took a sip. I caught a faint smirk on her face as she returned to her chair. “Arki! Come on in!”I stepped back as the man from earlier—Arki—entered the room.“We’ve got a new hire. Do me a favor, will you?” the woman said. I wasn’t sure how to react. I was glad I had a job now, but something about this felt a little too easy.“Oh no, love. Don’t doubt me, Astra,” she added, noticing my expression. “It’s just that I’m not afraid of Brixton. You can call me Tessa.”“This way, Astra. Come with me,” Arki motioned.“Thank you, Tessa. I’ll do my best,” I said with a bow before turning to follow Arki.I smiled. I didn’t expect it to be this easy.“Looks like Sir Brixton will be dropping by more often,” Arki muttered with a small shake of his head.We entered a room filled with storage. Arki pulled something from a drawer and handed it to me.“Here’s your uniform. Your shift is from 2 PM to 11 PM.

I stared into his eyes as I walked toward him. I knew all eyes in the room were on us, waiting to see what would happen next. But I couldn’t focus on them anymore. I didn’t even know what I was feeling. Anxious—worried that something might’ve happened to Celeste, and Oscar might start suspecting me. And curious—why is Brix covered in blood?I pushed all those thoughts aside as I finally stood in front of the most dangerous vampire here. The beast of the Nightfall Clan—Brixton Wenz Cardinal.Brix looked up at me, his lips pressed in a firm line.“I’m Astralla Martin, your slave, Master Brix. What would you like to drink—these shots... or my blood?” I gave him the most dazzling smile I could muster.He didn’t react. His gaze stayed serious. Then, without a word, his hand landed on my bare leg, slowly making its way upward. The heat of his touch hit me like a virus, spreading through every cell in my body.“Can I have both?” he finally said with that familiar smirk.Instead of replying,
