Romans & histoires Bloodline

She stopped herself. Not her what? She thought of Marcus. Of Elena. The form of Lydia's smile. She remembered the night when everything changed, the night nobody was to remember. “No, no, no,” said Ava, shaking her head. "That doesn't mean anything." However, it did not erase the words on the screen. “Bloodline,” she read again. “It is possible that strangers can match, but not very common. Rare.” Her hands began to shake. "If I matched..." she said and could not complete the sentence.

The Bloodline. I asked who led it. Jonathan shook his head and said that information was missing. Gabriel took the folder and went pale, saying he recognized that symbol, that the Bloodline hadn’t been controlled by a single person, but by the three founding families. Thomas nodded and named them. Marlowe, Rivers, and Vale. I looked at Adrian, and his expression had changed. I asked what. He looked at Thomas, then Gabriel, then finally at me, and said my family. The room went silent.

He was in a bad mood himself. Although Evans' family is from the city of light, he is from a long-established family with roots in several cities. The family is one of the more prestigious and powerful ones with many years of experience and a bloodline art that is unique. Bloodline Art. Developed by the ancestors and geniuses of a family, it was a totally different type of art. A form of art that can only be used by people with certain blood in their bodies. Perceiver of Light was the bloodline art name in Evans' case.

"Bloodlines vary in nature and attribute. Most bloodlines differ from each other. However, children from the same family tend to develop the same abilities due to this very same bloodline. The thing about bloodlines is that when they develop in a family, that family will continue to possess the abilities pertaining to that bloodline even after countless millennia. Unfortunately, the amount of abilities or the power of the abilities that a descendent of a family bloodline can inherit will depend on the d

Nathan quickly interjected with tangible vexation at the sound of my father's choice of words, earning himself a scowl from him. "You shut up," He swiftly bit back at him with a pointed look, making him bristle as he peered between the two of us, but thankfully didn't continue arguing. Blowing out a tired sigh, my father lowered himself into a crouching position so that he could be at the same eye-level with me, resting his elbows over his knees as he started to explain, "Carina, we're...You, and me and your sister, we're not humans either. We share an ancient bloodline, the shaman bloodline. Our veins are filled with magic,"

Ever since she arrived at Blackthorn, it hadn’t appeared and she would have preferred it that way, but now, she feared it won’t always be like that anymore. On her arm, she saw the lines again, like vines twisting and circling. It moved on its own and it had a glow of its own—a faint one. She raised her arm and watched it closely, not understanding what it was and why it chose her out of the billions of people alive. Or could it be that she wasn’t the only one? Like how she discovered that there are vampires and wolves in the school, could there be more out there? Even from her other school?

“That’s not reassuring.” Blake ignores him. His eyes never leave mine. “James didn’t just mark you,” he says. “He triggered something.” Cold dread settles in my stomach. “Triggered what?” I ask. The fire in my veins surges, answering before he does. It coils tighter, stretching, unfolding, like something long asleep is finally waking. Blake smiles. “The bloodline,” he says. “The one everyone thought was a myth.” Ethan stiffens. “No.” “Yes.” Blake’s voice is reverent now. “The Goddess-bound line. The kind that doesn’t manifest unless pushed to the edge of death.”

A lump rose in my throat. "Lila, tell me. What really happened these past two years?" Before she could answer, the front gate swung open with a loud clang. Serena pulled into the driveway, driving with such arrogance you’d think she owned the house. Her eyes landed immediately on the motorcycle, lighting up. "Mom! You’re back! Wow, you even brought me such an amazing gift!" She moved to climb on. I blocked her. "This isn’t for you. It’s for Lila." Serena just laughed, all bright and shameless. "We’re sisters. Why make a distinction? Isn’t that right, Lila?"

she said to him. “The vials are on the table,” I said to her, and she picked them up. Dr. Foirbeis handed her an empty vial and she mixed half of our blood together. “Once I start the spell, the blood will turn white and gold, which signifies the blood bond to the mother, then it will change to the father’s colors, before returning back to red,” Gwyneth said, and I nodded.

In the centre stood a low altar carved from a single piece of black granite and on it rested a shallow silver bowl filled with dark water. “This is where the Bloodline Rite was first performed,” she said and rested her fingers on the edge of the altar. “It was never about crowning a queen. It was created to bind unstable bloodlines, to steady heirs born from two rival packs so the child could not be weaponised by either side.” She met my eyes.
