One day, Dad called me, his voice low and solemn as he said, "Daphne, Lucille's father and brother were beaten to death overseas by their former subordinates." They had tried to force Lucille's father and brother to hand over money, but they simply didn't have enough to give. In the end, the mob went wild and beat them to death. Hearing this, I thought it was truly brutal. But thinking about it, I felt like it all made sense. They had killed Chase, and now, they were killed by their own men. Perhaps this was karma.

He denied it, saying he did not want to play childish games with me anymore. 'Ethan, don't you remember that I can't swim?' The moment my body fell, I thought I saw his face go pale.

When Ethan was ambushed and thrown into a river years ago, it was me who saved him. The price I paid was steep. My limbs had gone numb from the icy water, and when I woke up, the doctor told me I would never have children.

At last, Rachel spoke, her voice breaking with tears, "Mrs. Ashford, thank God you’re back! Serena runs wild in this house. Mr. Ashford spoils her beyond belief. She didn’t just break my fingers. She’s left the other guards beaten and crippled. Some of them can’t even walk without crutches now…" So that explained why half our security team had vanished. Serena had grown this brazen. Influenced by my past, Adrian always believed fighting and injuries were no big deal. After all, I’d once been the one to clean up the messes. However, that was more than a decade ago. Now we lived in a society governed by law. Every crime had consequences. That was why I’d washed my hands of the underworld. The

But underneath that beauty was something cruel. ‘So the Pureblood beings can live longer as humans?” I said quietly. Maureen didn’t answer, but I could feel her agreement. It was a quiet pulse in the back of my mind, and full of restrained rage. The spiritual water wasn’t some miracle cure for drunkenness. It was put there to eradicate half-bloods like me. I stared at the basin one last time, then turned away. The shine of it followed me as though it was still waiting for me to turn my back and drink it foolishly.

Sometimes, no matter how much thick the blood was, if it came from the wrong people, it doesn't need to have a meaning. .....

It was more secluded from the public, and would make the best spot to enjoy a little bit of peace with my wife. The waterfall had a dark origin behind it, thereby earning it the name 'The bloodbath!' This was because of the waterfall's reddish color which commoners believed was the flowing blood of all the fallen soldiers who had given up their lives for the betterment of the Lycan community.

Unlike Crescent Moon springs that attracted a lot of people, the rumors of the bloodbath had people running away. Only

It was the Introduction to the Neighborhood. ​The Day of the Open Blood ​On the surface, the "First Day of the Third Edition" was a quiet, internal revolution.

“Just loosen the door or give me a chance and I promise no one would know.” The woman shook her head, continuing to scrub my skin. “You think it’s that easy? They watch everything. One wrong move and I’m the one who ends up dead. I have my own reasons for being here.
