All Chapters of Sire Bond: The Vampire's Obsession: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The darkness didn’t bother Noah. Not even once. Especially since that darkness was the only eternal companion that had been with him throughout the centuries of his lonely existence. But tonight, it felt very different. Noah felt a sense of unease that was deeply unsettling.It was as if something had been torn away from him. His fingers curled slowly at his side, tension coiling through his entire body as the echo of her presence faded away. Gone. Again. A low breath slipped past his lips.“...Lucas.”The name tasted like something bitter. Something that would never leave him so easily. Something that only grew worse as time went on.Noah closed his eyes for a moment, and there she was. Not the Lilith of now. Not the one who kept staring at him with fear and suspicion. But her. The one who had once stood between him and everything he had ever wanted before.***That night was burning. Not from fire, but from chaos. The sounds of footsteps, running, screams, and shattering glass echoe

The next morning, Lucas decided to take Lilith for a walk outside the mansion. This was the first time Lilith had stepped outside Lucas’s mansion and breathed in the fresh air, which felt more vibrant and expansive. Or perhaps it only felt that way because Lilith had been cooped up in that luxurious mansion for far too long.Lucas’s black car drove slowly along the streets, still wet from the rain that had fallen early that morning. The clinging dew, the fresh breeze carrying a distinctive scent, and the many people passing by created a faint glow that soothed Lilith’s feelings, if only the atmosphere inside the car weren’t so tense.Lilith kept staring out the window, resting her chin on her left palm, and remained silent. Ever since the two of them left the mansion, Lilith hadn’t said a single word to Lucas, who had been trying to get her to talk since they’d left.In the end, however, Lucas gave in and stopped pressuring Lilith to say anything to him. Just this once. Lucas’s hands

The night was growing late. Victoria had fallen asleep on the sofa, refusing to sleep in the guest room, while Veronica was still sitting awake in the living room, staring out the window with an expression that was hard to read. Lilith stood in the hallway, about to return to her room with slow steps and a mind filled with thoughts of Lucas and Noah.And now, her thoughts were also filled with Veronica and Victoria. Everyone seemed to know something, except her. That began to make Lilith hate it. As she passed through the living room, Lilith’s steps halted. She looked toward Victoria, who was sleeping peacefully. Lilith didn’t know why she approached, perhaps she just wanted to make sure.Or maybe, actually, because something inside her felt that something was wrong. Lilith stopped beside the sofa, without taking her eyes off Victoria even for a moment. Victoria’s breath moved softly, as if it were barely visible. Lilith held her breath. Slowly she reached out her hand, bringing her f

The rain hadn’t quite stopped yet. The cold air felt increasingly biting, but that was nothing compared to the turmoil raging inside Lilith’s mind and heart right now. Lucas and Noah. Those two names seemed to clash endlessly. Between two truths and two lies. And Lilith, she was trapped right in the middle of them.“So… who should I believe?” Lilith whispered softly, almost in despair.Noah was still standing right in front of Lilith. Close enough to make Lilith’s thoughts even more muddled. Lilith felt suffocated. It was like feeling Lucas’s presence so close to her, just like the days before.“You don’t have to believe anyone right now, Lilith. You just need to trust what you’re feeling and believe in it, that’s all,” Noah said gently.Lilith looked at him. “Then what am I feeling? Or what do you and Lucas want me to feel about right now?”Noah gave a faint smile, his lips twitching slightly, and he looked a bit flustered that Lilith was still mentioning Lucas’s name in front of him

Tonight felt longer than usual. The wind no longer felt refreshing. And for Lucas, tonight was a cruel night. Lucas stood in the middle of the dark forest, his breathing calm, too steady for someone who was losing the most precious thing he’d ever had.Lilith. Her name kept echoing in Lucas’s mind. Constantly, and without ceasing. The sire bond still exists and is still alive. But it has grown distant. And that is causing something within Lucas to slowly transform into something more dangerous, reluctance. Lucas is unwilling to let Lilith drift further away from him, for he has, quietly, begun to grow accustomed to her presence around him.“My Lord...” Veronica’s voice sounded soft from behind him. Followed by Victoria, who stood a little further away. They both bowed their heads in respect to Lucas.“We can help you find Lilith.” Veronica continued cautiously. “Her trail hasn’t completely vanished, we can catch up to her…”“No.” Lucas cut her off quickly and sharply.This instantly m
