“Little Xena, requesting a meeting with me. A bold move. Who’s to say the Cambinos haven’t offered me a better deal already?” I smiled. Not the kind that softened, but the kind that promised dominance. I reached for the contract my father had prepared—one I had rewritten, refined, and perfected beyond contestation. He wouldn’t say no. He couldn’t. “Leonardo,” I said smoothly, “do recall that I disarmed six of your seven men and held you hostage for thirty minutes before my father called me back. Bold is hardly the word. We are securing safety—for our families, our legacy—with one simple decision. A marriage.”

"A normal Omega couldn't do that. The crap on the market works on ninety-nine percent of the population. The remaining one percent are the impurities—bloodlines too concentrated to dilute. There are at least three bloodlines running through your veins. At least one of them is likely a direct line to the Ancient Royals. "And if I am?" I stood up. The chair legs screeched against the marble, a sharp whine that pierced my eardrums. I didn't care. I planted both hands on the edge of the dining table, leaning forward, pressing down on him from above. The posture made the bruises on my neck slide out from under the collar—four pale red finger marks stretching from behind my ear down into the depth

Calyx suddenly sat upright from the couch, eyes narrowing sharply. “Wait.” All of us looked toward him. He grabbed several parchment sheets and spread them quickly across the table. “I’ve been tracing bloodlines.” Atlas groaned immediately. “You say that like it’s normal.” “It is normal.” “No it isn’t.” Calyx ignored him completely. “There are certain families and bloodlines that keep appearing in old records around vampire rumors.” He pointed at several names written across the parchment. “Strong bloodlines. Old ones.” My stomach tightened slightly as I looked down.

Another impossible ability. Another piece finally fitting together. The book continued. Page after page. Bloodline after bloodline. Wind. Stone. Water. Metal. Dream walking. Nature affinity. Empathic bonds. Some gifts had become common. Others had almost disappeared. Then... A section marked with faded black ink appeared. Lost Bloodlines Chaos immediately leaned closer. "I don't remember those." Neither did Order. The first entry made my heart skip. Space Shifters The page described an extinct—or supposedly extinct—bloodline capable of folding reality itself.

They were testing the fences, looking for weakness in the new wolf. "Silence." The word cracked like a whip. It didn't come from Min. Elder Park, Underboss One, set his tea cup down. The sound was deafening. He looked around the room, his gaze heavy with decades of violence. "The bloodline is the law," Park rumbled. "The Chairman chose his heir. The Heir has cleaned the house. If anyone wishes to join Kang in his 'resignation,' speak now." The room went deadly still. Park’s endorsement was the seal of legitimacy.

His response was to crush my fingers underfoot and hiss, "If you hadn't been so greedy for the inheritance, Ethan and the others wouldn't have gone out that night, and they wouldn't have died in that crash! "I've put up with you all this time just to see you pay for what you've done to Ethan and the rest!" In the end, Dad beat me to death. My body was contorted into a terracotta figure, eternally bowing down at the graves of my half-siblings. As I remembered the pain from my last moments in that previous life, I clenched my fists.

"Return the bloodline you stole from me already!" "Argh!!!" Ches bellowed as he could only watch while the bloodline he grafted to himself streamed into Caleb's arm. But Caleb wasn't stopping at taking back the Overlord Bloodline—he was intent on draining Ches dry as well! That was when Murin strode into the ring and called out, "Caleb Crawford, can you please find some goodness in your heart to show mercy?" Luna rushed to the ring too, pleading, "Please, Caleb—spare my brother's life! He made a mistake, but our house will make amends through some other way!"

About a hundred years ago, people in the land lived in peace and harmony. There are people with superhuman abilities and they call them Badbloods. They can harness the power of nature, they can make the plants grow in their will, some can transform into an animal, and some can see the future. Powers that no one knows where it come from as it wasn't hereditary. It was like a gift given to random people. Inkurs are the most powerful Badbloods. They are very rare for they draw their power from the Ether or the Abyss, the realms of heaven and hell.

Thank bloody hell she did. The night nurse understood my situation, since she mentioned her mate is also a vampire. She turned around giving me privacy with my new meal- That quick drain, became a brief pipeline for one night, but that ended just as quickly as it started, a new, observant, administrator, just severed my dreams of a possible new route- No more fresh blood from the morgue’s storage units. Yet, For the last six days, I’d subsisted solely on Shelby’s damned cupcakes: the Bloody Cupcake Bakery’s infamous monstrosities, each one iced in what looked like congealed human blood—thick, glossy, and unnervingly realistic. The first bite had hit me like lightning—ecstasy and agony fus
