And underneath Luo Yanmei's smile was something cold and calculating that had nothing to do with warmth. She was maybe twenty-six, with the polished presentation of someone who had spent a great deal of time and money making sure she looked effortlessly put together. Golden Soul stage cultivation, which was impressive. She wore the insignia of a visiting research fellow from the Qinghe Sect, one of the allied sects that had reached out after the publication. 'Senior Fellow Wen,' she said, holding out the basket. 'I have heard so much about your work. I came as soon as my sect could arrange the visit. Your chapter on emotional meridian cultivation changed how I think about everything.'

Kaelan pushed it open quietly. Celeste sat in the large armchair by the window, a thick book open in her lap, her hair falling over one shoulder as she read by the light of a single lantern. She looked peaceful, the soft glow highlighting the delicate lines of her face, the gentle curve of her neck, the way her simple nightgown clung to her small frame. The silver in her hair shimmered faintly, a visible sign of her awakening gifts. She looked up as he entered, her grey eyes widening in surprise.

“Don’t blame me for your gift, sister. Don’t blame me because the Moon cursed you. You see too much, Celeste, you always have. It drove them mad. Maybe they would’ve lived longer without you.” “Lila!” I gasped, every word cutting deeper than claws. Thorne crossed his arms, his face set in stone, eyes colder than the rain outside. “She’s right. I’m done with your doom hanging over my head, Celeste. Every time you touch me, every time you look at me it’s like you’re waiting for something bad to happen. Who wants to live like that? With a girl who sees death around every corner?” Tears streamed faster, blinding me. “You loved me. You promised”

I rubbed my face, trying to focus. A while later, I heard the door creak. I looked up. Celeste stood there in dry clothes, her hair still damp. She shouldn’t be up. “What are you doing?” I asked. “Couldn’t sleep again.” She walked in, glancing around. “This room’s bigger than I thought.” “Stay out of here,” I said, but she ignored me, wandering to the shelves. She picked up a book, then something else. I froze when I saw it. It was an old photo, tucked behind some files. My mother’s face stared back from the faded picture.

“These are not defensive constructs. They are coercive.” Evelina’s expression remained composed. “Correct.” I turned the page. And there it was. Pamela Batista. Her name appeared not as a student, but as a contributing researcher in several archived proposals involving cross-species blood architecture. My fingers stilled on the parchment. “She was involved in this,” I said quietly, though the words carried weight. “She was ambitious,” Evelina corrected gently. “And ambitious vampires tend to experiment.” The diagrams grew more intricate as I skimmed further. Containment rings designed to siphon elemental signatures. Rituals meant to bind storm energy into fixed conduits.

With reverent hands, she opened it to a blank page and began to write. Her fingers moved on their own, inked by magic and pleasure. She cataloged herself: Rowan, Eternal Catalog, Vessel of Knowledge, Beloved of the Athenaeum. Status: Fully Claimed. Pleasure Threshold: Infinite. As she finished writing, the entire library sighed in satisfaction. New shelves bloomed around her. Books opened themselves in welcome. The tentacles caressed her hair with infinite tenderness while continuing to fuck her gently, keeping her in a constant state of warm, blissful arousal.

“Trust me, this piece of information isn’t that important, eo stop bothering me about it. If you are going to keep bugging me with questions, then just leave, I’m reading a book sns I’m at the interesting part.” I let out a frustrated sigh. It was clear that wasn’t going to tell me no matter how many times I probed her. “Fine,” I sighed, “If you don’t want to tell me, then whatever. Just don’t mess up this plan I have. Everything has been going well so far.” Celeste snapped her book close and looked up at me with a stern gaze. “You have nothing to worry about. Everything I am doing is for the betterment of your family.”

Celeste watched him with an expression that blended sorrow and resolve. “You should not carry this alone,” Evelyn said softly. Alexander turned. “I am not sure I know how not to.” Celeste closed the folder and slid it aside. “Then we begin with truth instead of silence. That is how this ends differently.” She rose slowly and moved to one of the shelves. Her fingers traced the spines until she stopped at a narrow book wedged between two ledgers. It was unmarked, its leather worn smooth by time. “This never left the library,” Celeste said. “Not officially.”
