Novel & Cerita Reign Of Blood

Avel’s fangs descended with a snap. “No. She. won’t.” “Won’t she?” Caelan’s voice softened. “She carries your blood, Avel. And all the bloodlust which comes with it. And she didn't just have a little.” Avel stiffened. Silas gasped. I felt the truth settle into my bones like winter: I didn’t carry some of Avel’s blood. I carried enough to transform worlds. Avel spun toward me, eyes wide. “Don’t listen to him. Please. Listen to me.”

“For survival.” Matteo watched her as Lorenzo Moretti's final crest flared onto the board, blood-red and pulsing. “You’ve just declared the last war this world will ever see,” he said quietly. Bianca turned her gaze to him, expression unreadable. “Then let it be worthy of ending everything.” Thunder cracked outside, shaking the ruined glass.

Darren said finally, breaking the silence, “you found the book.” My throat was dry, my voice barely a whisper. “What is it?” His lips curved into that faint, cruel smile. “The Rite of Dominion,” he said simply, almost reverently. “A ritual older than the Crescent bloodline itself. One that grants power, true power. But it requires a sacrifice, the blood of a royal Crescent descendant. Your blood.” I shook my head, choking on the words. “You’re lying.” Had fate changed because we were no longer dating?

Reign’s eyes darkened. “Then the kingdom had better prepare.” Ash lifted his head, interest sparking. There he is, he thought. The future king. Talia closed her eyes. “Goddess help us.” But the Goddess was not in that room. Only destiny. Only bloodlines.

The cover was worn, the pages yellowed with age, but the script inside was surprisingly legible. She flipped through it, her breath catching as she read the first few lines: "To those who follow, beware. The Blood King walks a path of shadows, tethered to the Crimson Fated by fate and fire. Their union will either save us or doom us all." Aria’s heart raced as she scanned further. The entries spoke of Lucian Draevan, the Blood King—a name she recognized from old hunter lore. He was a vampire lord from centuries past, known for his ruthlessness and enigmatic disappearance after a great war.

Shadowflame replied, his eyes filled with shocking seriousness and depth. “Who?...” “the shadowking, commander's father. He changed the law and bent the game to his whim to soot his bloodlust and quest for revenge. And what more, it's a few days before the well known bloodmoon. A period of time, where we the unrighteous are affected by our wolves. The criminals and power hungry bastards saw it as an avenue to get more power. The greedy ones that didn't want to leg go, fanned the licking flames that brought about the deathmatch we have today.”
