All Chapters of Sire Bond: The Vampire's Obsession: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Lilith didn’t even know what to say. Her mind felt completely empty. Her palms were trembling violently, even though she was trying to hold them steady. Her mind was struggling to process something that felt too vast for her to grasp all at once. Half-human. Half-vampire. Those words still echoed in her head.“Wait...” Lilith whispered softly, her voice hoarse. “If that’s true, then everything Lucas said about my ancestors is true too.”Ingrid nodded. “You heard it from Lucas, didn’t you?”Lilith swallowed slowly. “About the first vampire, Margaux, who turned Lucas and Noah.”“Yes, that’s true,” Ingrid replied softly, her gaze growing more serious and intense.“Margaux, she turned many people into vampires and cursed their bloodlines.”“That’s exactly what Lucas said about my bloodline,” Lilith murmured.“But Margaux didn’t just curse them, Lilith,” Ingrid corrected gently.Lilith furrowed her brow. “What do you mean?”“Margaux created something she could never truly control,” Ingrid

Lilith didn’t go straight back to her rented house. She chose to walk for quite a while after leaving the antique shop, wandering into other stores. The morning air, still quite fresh, felt colder than usual. Or perhaps, in truth, that was simply how Lilith was feeling right now.Every step she took was filled with doubt. About Lucas. About Noah. Even about herself. The small house finally appeared right in front of Lilith. Quiet and peaceful. Not many people were passing by there. Lilith exhaled slowly, feeling her body was already quite exhausted.Slowly, Lilith stepped into the house and opened the door. A moment later, Lilith froze in place. Lucas was already inside the house now. Standing in the middle of the room, silent. But his presence felt like a storm held back. His eyes locked onto Lilith immediately, with a dark, tense gaze, filled with something on the verge of breaking from within him.“You went far enough away from me,” Lucas muttered in a low, controlled voice, though

The house felt too spacious, even though it was actually very small, simple, and quiet. Lilith sat on the edge of the bed. She stared blankly at the window, which revealed the silent night sky stretching out beyond the house. Lucas wasn’t there. And that should have made her feel calmer, right?It should have, right? But instead, Lilith just sighed softly. Trying to convince herself even more. “I really do need all of this,” she whispered, nodding her head several times.Lilith truly did need everything she was getting from Lucas right now. The distance, the space, and the clarity of her own thoughts. But the longer she sat alone on that bed, the more Lilith felt that something was wrong. Not within the room itself, of course, but from within herself.Lilith touched her chest, right over her heart. Something was throbbing there, not something painful, but rather something that felt empty and strange. As if something important was missing. The more Lilith tried to ignore it, the stronge

“I don’t even know what I’m feeling right now,” Lilith muttered, letting out a long sigh.“Really?” Evelyn’s question came so quickly.Lilith fell silent for a moment. “I know I should keep my distance. I even really want to, but when he’s not around me...” Lilith paused, searching for the most honest words. “It feels like something is missing.”“And that’s what scares you,” Evelyn murmured.Lilith nodded. “Yes. That’s what’s scary for me.”“Is it because you’re afraid of losing control?”Lilith looked up once more. “Because I’m afraid of losing myself.”“Sometimes opening your heart does feel like losing control of yourself, Lilith.”“It’s not about opening your heart, Evelyn.” Lilith furrowed her brow slightly.“Then why do you look like someone who’s at war with herself?”Lilith didn’t answer Evelyn’s question. Because that was exactly what was happening inside her right now. The day passed very quickly. When Evelyn decided to leave that afternoon to go to work, promising to return

That afternoon felt a little stifling. Not because the house or the room was small and cramped, but because her own thoughts seemed to leave Lilith no room to truly breathe. Lilith stood by the window, gazing at the sky as it began to dim. The orange hues slowly turned to a purplish gray. It was calm outside, but certainly not inside her.Lilith had just returned from the lake. From Lucas and Noah, and from feelings she shouldn’t have felt so intensely. Lilith gently rubbed her face with her palms, which felt cold. The house didn’t have a heater that worked properly, so as the night went on, the air grew colder.Lilith was waiting for Evelyn to come and stay at the house to keep her company tonight. Evelyn said she’d arrive a bit later because her work wasn’t finished yet. Lilith agreed and planned to buy some food later. That was the plan, until Lilith began to sense something.Something different from Lucas. It was sharper, enough to make Lilith’s body tense up. Footsteps could be h
