CHAPTER 51CALLIEALL THAT DOESN'T MATTER I wanted to remain under the rain, let it drench me and probably let it wash away my pains. At least, the rain could relate to me. I had left home without looking back and even when my mother tried to scream my head off, I ignored her for the first time and just remained walking under the rain. And I like it. But if I remain in this rain for another second, I'll be a walking bag of ice. So I pushed myself to knock on his door, the knock coming as urgently as I needed to feel warmth.The moment Santiago closed the door behind me, the warmth of the house hit my frozen skin and it provided only a fraction of the ease I was looking for. My stomach twisted in a weird way then gradually proceeded into something sharp, hot and burning. I opened my mouth to tell Santiago something, but the pain suddenly speared across my abdomen so violently that it literally knocked the breath out of my lungs.“A….ahh…” I gasped, one hand flying to clutch my stoma

CHAPTER 52MARCOTHE GIRL WITH SILVER EYESHoly precious Selene!The pain hit me so violently I couldn’t breathe, I had to clutch my chest to lessen the hurt in some kind of way. But it was a waste of time. The hurt lingered far more than I wanted it to.One second I was staring at the girl, a strange, silver-eyed beauty who looked like she’d walked straight out of a dream. And the next, heat exploded across my abdomen like someone had found a direct passage to my stomach and poured hot lava in it.I doubled over instantly, catching the wall with one hand and my stomach with the other.“Shit!” I hissed, squeezing my eyes shut. She gasped, startled by my sudden display. “Sir? Are you okay? Is something wrong?”Is she for real? Who would be grunting and almost doubled over on the floor and still be fine?I forced my eyes open, blinking away the blue that clouded my vision. She stood almost rigid a few steps from me, one hand hovering in the air like she wasn’t sure how to help, if she

CHAPTER 53CALLIE THE BURN OF A SILVER BLADE I didn’t even know who was holding me or whose voice I was hearing. All I knew was that the world tilted, the floor kept slipping away from under my feet, and every breath felt like someone was dragging claws through my insides.“Oh God! It hurts,’ I whined, letting the tears slip down my face. “I know, I'm sorry, Hermosa . You'll be fine, Sienna is on her way.” Am I even going to survive until Sienna gets back? My insides burn, sending violent signals to my brain that interrupted most of my thoughts. My eyebrows dipped into a frown as I tried to breathe through the hurt, do anything that doesn't come with pain. “You'll be fine soon, I promise.” My head spun too much for me to say anything else. So I just laid there and tried to breathe through the pain. The rain still beat heavily against the roof and my wet clothes were beginning to make me shiver. “You're shivering. We need to get you out of your wet clothes,” Santiago said, hold

CHAPTER 54SANTIAGO THE COST OF KEEPING HER ALIVEThe moment Sienna mentioned something about shortening lifespan, the whole world began to drum in my ears, I could hear my heartbeat so loud in my ears. Something inside my chest quietly split down the middle.Matteo looked horrified and Callie just seemed to grow paler and paler by the second. She was whimpering, barely hanging onto consciousness, and every breath she took sounded like she was swallowing fire.And I knew…. I knew before I even opened my mouth that there wasn’t another choice.“Channel me,” I said immediately without giving myself enough time to think about it. Because there was nothing to think about. As long as it involves Callie, I'd do anything.Matteo whipped his head toward me, panic surging through his face. “What? Santiago, no. Absolutely not. We are going to look for another way.”“There is no other way, Matteo. This is the only way,” Sienna says, her eyes holding back frustration. I knew that she out of all

CHAPTER 55MARCOBEGINNING OF A SECRET My father stared at me like I was a thief caught with stolen diamonds and I held his gaze while trying not to look panicked. One wrong shift in my expression and I knew his claws would be at my throat…figuratively, if I was lucky.His eyes slowly dragged away from mine and dropped to the girl in my arms.“Marco,” he called again, voice cold enough to freeze the blood running through Lyria’s veins. “Who is she?”Lyria shifted weakly, her fingers tightening on my shirt, clearly sensing the bite and tension from my father's voice. I swallowed hard, forcing my face to remain blank or bored or uninterested…. Anything but fear or panic.“She’s injured,” I said. “I saw her collapse near the compound entrance. I brought her in so she doesn’t die on the damn floor. Or is that a wrong thing to do?”It was a half-lie. I did meet her in the compound and she looks sick. And half-lies were easier to swallow than full truths.His expression didn’t change as hi

CHAPTER 56CALLIE BLOCK ROADS My heart was resting right on my throat as I moved my fingers along the screen of my phone, searching for Marco’s contact. The moment I came across it, I tapped on it, letting my fingers hover over the dial button before I finally dialed it. I placed the phone on the loudspeaker since I wasn't the only one in the room that wanted to reach out to him. It began to ring…. Until it stopped. I exchanged gazes with Santiago and he nodded his head, urging me to try the number again. I did. Marco’s number rang again. And again. And again.I stared at my phone screen until my eyes stung, my thumb trembling as I hit redial for maybe the twentieth time. The same thing kept happening. It would ring once, sometimes twice, then straight to voicemail. My stomach twisted every time the robotic voice cut in.“The number you’re trying to—”I hung up before it finished.“Try it again,” Sienna said quietly beside me with her arms folded and anxiety written all over her

CHAPTER 57MARCO MORE MYSTERY My father’s study always smelled like old wood, whiskey, and secrets, things carved into the walls long before I was born. Tonight was no different. He sat behind his massive desk, fingers tapping idly as if every word I said was a leaf caught in a wind he controlled. It was so annoying, him trying to be controlling and not fucking telling me what was wrong. “So, Marco, tell me again,” he drawled, leaning back, “who do you think that girl is?”I opened my mouth, because honestly, I didn’t know. Everything about that girl settled and unsettled me at the same time. Her cold calmness, the way she spoke in riddles and the fact that I was drawn to her too quickly. I mean, who the hell could tell I had a mate just by touching my skin. “I have no idea what answer you want me to give. You were literally there when I brought her in injured, and I told you I found her in your grounds. How the hell am I supposed to know who she is?” My father’s brows rose wit

CHAPTER 58SANTIAGO HERE AND THERE Is this how difficult it is? We're fucking screwed then. I think.I never realized how loud silence could be until we were all trapped inside the house with worry sitting between us like an invisible housemate.The rain had stopped sometime before dawn, and the air outside was clean, but inside… everything wasn't as serene as it was outside. It might be quiet, but the worry hanging on all our minds was enough to thicken the air.Callie was curled on the couch, Matteo pressed against her like he needed to feel her heartbeat to keep his own heart beating. His head rested on her chest, and she had one arm wrapped around him protectively, fingers tracing slow circles between his shoulders and his hair. He looked exhausted…. Scratch that, we all were. But seeing him tucked into her like that… it eased a knot in my chest. He looked like he was where he needed to be and despite the exhaustion, there was peace in his posture. I sat across from them at th

CHAPTER 59SAINT THIN LINES AND BROKEN TEETHThe moment I set my eyes on Luca and realised he was the one I had run into, I felt it before my brain fully registered it. There was a tight pull in my jaw and that instant spike of heat that ran under my skin and rested in my spine.Of course it had to be Luca. Fucking bastard just knows the right time to ruin a person's day by showing his ugly face.My fingers curled slowly around the edge of one of the notebooks as I straightened, my eyes locking onto his face. He looked exactly the same—smug, fakely polished and wearing that irritating half-smile like the world owed him an applause for just existing.I rolled my eyes, deciding to ignore him. Today was not the day to deal with a self-absorbed fool. I had more on my plate to deal with. I stepped past him without a word, my shoulders brushing his just enough to let him know I was aware of him but not in the mood for his nonsense. I’d barely taken two steps away from him when his voice

CHAPTER 60MARCOWHAT THE LAB HIDESDespite having no idea what I was going to look for in the lab, I went anyways. And now, I stood right in front of it.I walked towards the side of the wall that held the passkey and typed in the numbers I had saw my dad typed in the other day. Though, it required a fingerprint scan, but I think I can bypass it. And I did.The lab never slept. The lights were always on and despite never having met the scientists, it always worked round the clock. That was the first thing that struck me as the heavy metal doors slid open with a hiss. The place was growing too hard to look clean while drowning in sin. Just like the last time I had stepped into this place, the scent of chemicals, antiseptic, blood and fear…. Hit me all at once.I paused just inside the doorway, my pulse thudding louder than whatever machinery was making that sound.“You wanted me to come here, what did you want to show me?” I muttered under my breath, as the words from Lyria's note k
