The Nine Eyes Of Lucien Novels & Stories

​I dropped my hands from my face, my cheeks still burning like hot coals. ​Lucien was staring at me, his head tilted slightly to the side. The icy, predatory calculation that usually filled his eyes had been completely replaced by a stunned, highly entertained fascination. He slowly took the cigar from his mouth, tapping the ash into a small crystal tray, his lips twitching upward into a wicked, devastating grin. ​"Size nine," Lucien repeated, the words rolling off his tongue in a low, teasing hum that made my stomach do a frantic flip.

SLOANE’S POINT OF VIEW. We make eye contact through the mirror. He stands in a darker part of the bathroom; it’s almost like I was hallucinating, and he wasn’t really here with me. My eyes squint to see him clearly, and he chooses that moment to walk into the light. I gasp sharply, taking the look in his eyes. His blue eyes are almost obsidian now…they’re filled with something dangerous, something tethering off a great edge, and I think he’s already gone over, and I’d be left to deal with the consequences of a volatile Lucien.

he uttered while holding my hands. I tried to remove his hand from me. “Look, Mr. Hon. I think you should leave,” I told him and pointed to the door. But he refused. “No, I will stay here,” he said firmly. But then the door opened and Liliane, together with Cassie, entered. “She said that you should get out, or else you want us to break your bones,” Cassie said. Mr. Hon looked at them, and Lucian together with Dylan waiting outside. He gulped and immediately stood up, grabbing his things and running outside.

“Because, Lucan is the only one who can retrieve the Obsidian Dagger from its resting place. He's uniquely connected to its ancient energies, its layered defenses, in ways no other human could ever be. He's the only key that fits this lock." Nina's professional mask didn't slip, but Kairos saw the flicker of calculation in her eyes before it vanished. She inclined her head slightly. "Understood, sir. Lucan proceeds alone." Kairos returned his attention to the vast map, his gaze lingering on the island.

“Ian… you must hurry.” I staggered closer, trying to see what happened and searching for a chance to drive the sword into the vampire king’s chest. If I could kill the vampire king, wouldn’t that avenge Candido’s family? Wouldn’t that make it so that Candido had to love me again, he had to forgive me and see how much I loved him. Then, Lucien turned to me. His eyes were the color of the moon, surrounded by the dark night, glowing in the room. There was a darkness in his eyes, a weight that I couldn’t describe.

Lucien said, his voice cold and distant. “Run far away from me. If you hear me coming right, go left. If I’m going forward, run backward. If I’m going north, don’t bother going south, go west. Because the next day I see those green witch eyes of yours, is the day I’m killing you, with my bare hands.” He said, staring at her cold in the eyes. His lower lips curled up into a smirk, raising his bloodied right hand and waving it at her, “till then, mother. You better pray to the moon goddess not to meet me again.”

I stated before pressing my lips together to keep from yelling at him, demanding he tell me everything he knows. Lucien shook his head and stared at me with a smirk as if what I had just said was ridiculous. “I don’t make deals with mortals.” “You did!” I snapped back, lifting my finger and pointing it at him in anger. “Elara, I only do business with the dead,” Lucien said, and the darkness around him grew darker before it sank into his skin, leaving no trace behind to show it had ever been there besides his completely black eyes. They were nothing like I had ever seen before. Usually, the whites remained, even when a wolf was in control, but he… he looked demonic.

His arms tightened slightly around her. "And you're enough." Slowly, Lucien opened his eyes. His gaze drifted toward the large circular window of his study. Outside, darkness was beginning to swallow the world, night was descending across the kingdom, the sky had turned deep and heavy. Yet Lucien's expression remained calm, steady and certain.

He knew that things could turn violent at any moment, and he was ready for it. Suddenly, one of the creatures stepped forward, throwing back its hood to reveal a face that was both terrifying and gentle. This was no humanoid specie in anyway. His face revealed the fangs like that of a ferocious saber toothed tiger. But the eyes betrayed the whole physiology. The eyes could tell you that they were kind and compassionate. He had a third eye that all of a sudden, when opened, seemed to pierce into them as though searching their soul to reveal hidden agendas from them. His name is Lucien.

Her body froze and her heart continued beating fast. "Open your eyes and look at me" Lucien commanded, waiting for her to open her eyes before he would go further. As instructed, she opened her moon shaped eyes. Even in the darkness, his great sight could see that beauty that lies deep in her eyes, blue and beautiful, but Lucien had to get control of himself before he would end up enjoying her company even more. He placed her hands on his belt, "Take it off and kneel" Lucien said waiting for it to be done. He hated her slowness, but he had to put up with it for a reason known to him alone.
