Sire Bond: The Vampire's Obsession のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 101 - チャプター 110

The next morning, Ingrid was once again standing beneath the old tree with Lucas and Lilith. In her hands, she held a few small tools, a dry brush, and a sheet of parchment covered in notes. Selene stood watching beside Ingrid. So the four of them were now gathered around the old tree.“Last night I was thinking about something,” said Ingrid as she brushed away the moss still clinging to the tree trunk.“About what?” asked Lilith.“This inscription doesn’t mention lineage. It talks about chosen blood.” Ingrid pointed to the carving, and Lucas nodded in agreement.“So that means there’s a condition we haven’t fully understood yet.”Selene sighed. “In that case, do we have to wait for the next clue to appear on its own?”“Not necessarily,” Ingrid replied, turning to Lilith. “Lilith.”“Hm?”“Are you willing to try something?”Lilith nodded without the slightest hesitation. “I’ll try anything.”Lucas immediately shot a stern glance at Ingrid. “Don’t put her in danger.”Ingrid smiled sligh

That morning, the sky was still shrouded in gray clouds when a black car pulled away from the mansion. Inside were only Lucas, Lilith, Ingrid, and Selene. Veronica had chosen to stay at the mansion to keep watch. Meanwhile, Victoria, as usual, offered to help Veronica take care of the mansion.“Be careful,” Veronica said before they left.Lilith nodded with a smile. “We’ll be back soon.”Lucas opened the car door for Lilith first. That small gesture made Selene clear her throat softly.“You two really have no shame left, do you...”Lilith immediately blushed, while Lucas looked completely unfazed. “I’m just acting like I always do.”Selene snorted softly. “That’s exactly the problem.”Ingrid, sitting in the front seat, merely gave them a faint smile. For a moment, the atmosphere felt light. Yet they were heading to a place that might change everything.The drive took nearly two hours. The farther they left the city behind, the narrower the roads became, lined with wild trees. Lilith g

Silence enveloped the living room. No one spoke after the journal was proven to be empty. Victoria was still standing in place, frozen, her hands still clutching the black leather-bound book so tightly that it was almost bent in half.“That’s impossible. I risked everything just for this book!”Selene looked at Victoria with disappointment. “So it’s true, you were the one who snuck into the basement last night.”Victoria glanced at Selene, then let out a soft, bitter laugh.“I just wanted to know the truth. And if that journal could really save Lucas.” Her gaze shifted to Lucas. “Why can’t I know it, too?”Lucas shook his head slowly. “That’s not the issue,” Lucas interrupted. “The issue is that you chose to betray our trust.”Victoria didn’t answer; she simply bowed her head. But deep down inside, that sense of shame was slowly turning into hatred. Veronica looked at her with disappointment.“I didn’t expect you to do this,” Veronica muttered.“Maybe I didn’t expect it either,” Victo

The morning at the mansion felt much quieter than usual. After reading part of the journal, no one could truly relax. The secrets they had been searching for all this time were finally beginning to be revealed, but those answers only led to new questions. In the dining room, Selene placed a cup of warm tea in front of Lilith.“Have a little to calm down, Lilith,” she said softly.Lilith gave a small smile. “Thank you.”But as Lilith lifted the cup, the tea’s usually soothing aroma now felt flat. Instead, Lilith caught another scent, a very faint scent of blood. Lilith froze instantly. Her eyes slowly turned red.“Lilith?” Lucas, who was sitting next to her, immediately noticed the change.Lilith quickly closed her eyes. “I’m fine.”But the sound of Selene’s heartbeat was now so clear in Lilith’s ears. Louder and more alluring. Without realizing it, Lilith’s small fangs began to lengthen. Lilith stood up immediately.“I… I have to get out.”“Lilith!”Lucas stood up too. But Lilith had

The night that should have felt peaceful turned so quiet. A gentle breeze blew through Victoria’s open window. She was still standing in front of the mirror. The black symbol on the palm of her hand slowly spread like roots creeping beneath her skin. The pain was excruciating. Yet Victoria didn’t pull her hand away; instead, she smiled.“Finally, I’m not alone anymore.” The woman’s voice, which had previously been nothing more than a whisper, now filled the room once more.“How pitiful. You’ve loved him all this time, but in his eyes, he’s never once looked your way.”Victoria closed her eyes. “Be quiet.” But the voice merely laughed softly.“I’m just telling the truth. Lucas chose that girl. Not you.”Victoria’s breathing began to quicken. The image of Lucas always protecting Lilith filled her mind once more. His gentle gaze, warm smile, and the touch he had never once given her over the course of hundreds of years. The emotions Victoria had managed to hide all this time finally brok
