Gothic spires of crystallized regret pierced the low sky, and distant screams echoed faintly, swallowed by the endless mist. As they traveled deeper, fragments began surfacing in Roberto’s mind. A woman singing softly, her voice warm and lilting, fingers brushing through a young boy’s hair. *His mother.* Then the same woman crying in the dark, shoulders shaking as she clutched a small wooden cross. Francesco’s voice, sharp and furious, shouting commands that made the house feel smaller. A locked door at the end of a long hallway. Pounding fists. A muffled scream that tore through the silence.

The words withered in my throat as my gaze locked with his, entirely captive to the fierce, possessive fire that burned within his eyes. My fingers tangled desperately in the fabric of his jacket, drawing him down into the very space he sought to conquer.With a low, triumphant groan, Caleb brought his mouth down parted my lips with a ruthless force, his tongue seeking mine. He wrenched his lips from mine only to bury his face in the hollow of my neck, his teeth and tongue tracing the sensitive skin with a relentless hunger, deliberately deepening the bruises he had carved into my flesh only hours before.

The nerves in my body quietly tensed. Soon, a sleek black car pulled up at the building. Thomas's eyes lit up, and he eagerly waved his hand. "Babe!" Imogen stepped out, impeccably dressed in a cream suit, cradling an enormous bouquet of roses.

The blood lines thread looked eerie and ominous, as if something dangerous was about to awaken. Something that was not meant to exist. Something that might endanger mankind if not handled well. Thunder and lightning rumbled incessantly outside the mansion, as if a storm were brewing, like it was signaling the birth of something ominous. Inside the secret room, the floating coffin, wrapped in a web of mysterious threads, became transparent, as if the threads had a life of their own, sucking the essence of the coffin into nothingness.

Pain drained the color from my face, and my whole body trembled. Seraphina kicked me in the face, so furious she looked as if she wanted to tear me to pieces. “Let me tell you this,” she shouted. “Forget toad eggs—even if Alaric told you and your parents to kneel and lick his shoes, you’d have to do it!” The slimy sensation of the toad eggs still clung to my mouth, making waves of nausea roll through me. My parents, Edward and Eleanor Blackwood, looked even worse, their faces deathly pale as they clutched the table and retched uncontrollably.

The gold in them swirled with unease. "Do you feel that?" he asked. "Feel what?" "The vibration," Victor said. "It is deep. Miles down. It feels like... footsteps." Suddenly the room changed. The silver lines of magic that ran along the walls flickered. They pulsed once. Twice. Then they turned green. It was not a healthy forest green. It was the color of gangrene. It was the color of sickness and rot. The air in the room grew heavy. The smell of ozone was replaced by the smell of sulfur and wet decay.

A sharp, metallic hum filled the underground room, vibrating so hard my teeth ached. Right behind us, the massive, solid granite wall at the back of the vault began to glow. Fine, spiderweb lines of bright gold light carved themselves into the dark stone, racing across the rock like liquid fire.
