The man before me bore no trace of the Lucas I once knew. Gone was the calm, confident professor. In his place stood a hollow, haggard shell of a man with bloodshot eyes. He looked utterly defeated, like a dried tree that had splintered beneath its own weight. He was completely stripped of the brilliance he once carried.

The dark humor was so perfectly Jaxx that I couldn't help but laugh. I burst out laughing, the sound bright against the lingering tension in the room. The absurdity of his grim humor never failed to catch me off guard, to remind me that beneath the violence and the control, there was a man who made me laugh in the darkest moments. Jaxx just shrugged, completely unbothered by his own dark wit, though a small smile played at his lips, softening the hard lines of his face.

After all, women are very sensitive about their age, especially if they are considered to be much older than they should be. Morana bit her lower lip to keep from laughing. It was the first time in a long time, she could laugh after this. Laughing at the suffering of others is not good, but laughing at the suffering of people we hate is really fun. It could be because Morana always avoided having conflicts with other people, ever since she entered the university environment that's why she always chose to be silent, but actually this is a fun thing and can reduce the burden of thoughts that have piled up in her head to occasionally repay the actions of people who try to hurt her.

Killian teases and the tension eases slightly. I'm sure there is something I am missing in this interaction, but I choose to remain as nothing but a spectator right now. "Maybe I will. Does Madelaine have the intention to remarry after we bury you?" the men both share a dark chuckle as if this was the best jocke ever said. To me, this feels like the worst possible dark humor. I strain a smile and Demetri shakes his head lightly, before bowing gently with an apologetic look on his face.

“I didn’t know you had such a talent for entertaining the staff. Are you trying to become the court jester now?” His words hang in the air, filled with a malevolence that is hard to ignore. I feel a sense of discomfort creeping over me, my previous laughter fading into a nervous unease. Lucien’s dark humor has a way of penetrating my defenses, unearthing the hidden fears and vulnerabilities that lie beneath. As his grin widens, his amusement becomes palpable, feeding off my discomfort like a predator reveling in its prey’s unease. It’s a chilling reminder of the power he holds, both physically and psychologically.

[LUNA] Here I am again, at the bar, trying to drown myself in liquor. But this isn't just any liquor—this one is different. A darker brew, gifted by the elder vampires themselves. I don’t know what’s in it, but it grips me, sends a shiver down my spine, makes the room spin just the way I want it to.

She had a soft smile on her face as she stirred a large pot of mushroom soup. Amanda rolled her eyes. "Look at her acting like she owns the place." "She's trying too hard," Mara whispered with a smirk. Amanda huffed. "Everyone's treating her like she's the sweetest thing in the pack. Why are they even laughing at her jokes? She's not even funny." "She's not even a pack member!" Mara added, narrowing her eyes. Amanda shook her head in irritation. "This is getting worse. I should be the one preparing things for Jake... not her."

"All pale and transparent." I laughed. "Boo hoo," I said, smirking. Her expression twisted in confusion. "What is wrong with you?" Oh, she was actually being mean. I really needed to get a grip on this pack’s humor—it flipped from dark and sarcastic to nonexistent in the blink of an eye. "Oh, sorry, I thought you were joking," I said. "Considering you look like a joke, I didn’t realize I was supposed to take you seriously." Oh, it was on.

"That's an easy death. I prefer torturing someone to death... Say slowly slicing your neck while you watch... Or stabbing your knees and elbows countless times." Okay... She's starting to give me the creeps. "God! I'm just kidding. Stop looking at me like I'm some serial killer," she laughs. "I keep forgetting it takes an intelligent person to get my dark sense of humour." She just called me stupid but it's fine... As long as I'm not getting my neck sliced or my elbows stabbed... It's fine. "You can go for a break and eat those muffins with that mouthy black friend of yours," she blurts.
