Venti X Diluc Novels & Stories

It was so intense, like they were telling me something, they held a promise. But promise of what? Destruction. A small voice in the back of my mind hummed. Fresh tears escaped me as I started crying. Vengeance. That's what his looks held. Hunger for revenge. I gulped as the severity of the situation dawned on me. The man seemed insane and I had to stay away from him. Or else he might destroy me. And this time, I will be shattered completely.

He looked so stupid asking that question that Vinca had to hide her face in Frost's chest so they wouldn't see her grinning. Frost, who was enjoying every bit of Vinca's acting, held her tightly. He wished it would go on forever just so he could continue holding this bundle of warmth in his arms. "Please meet Vinca, my fiancee, and soon-to-be wife," he said to the bewildered man. Vinca extended her hand in greetings, and Damont shook hands with her automatically, not even in his senses. Ana took her hand wishing to be anywhere but standing there. "Am sorry, she looks like a lady I know in West", he said, hoping to jog Vinca's memory but receiving a blank look from her.

Lucien stood firm, his sword raised, and his eyes blazing with determination. Lucien: "Your treachery ends here, Pierce. Your actions have consequences, and you will pay for your betrayal." With a swift swing of his sword, Lucien engaged Pierce in a fierce duel. Sparks flew as their blades clashed, and Lucien fought with all his skill and strength. Khal joined the battle, using his vampire powers to weaken Pierce and support Lucien. Khal: "This is the end for you, Pierce. Your ambitions have led you astray, and you have lost." Pierce's eyes widened in defeat, realizing that his plans had crumbled around him. He looked up at Khal with a mix of shock and resignation.

“I’m here to talk to you, father.” “What about?” He queried, turning around to fix me with his cold gaze. I paused, swallowing another painful lump, trying as hard as I could to not appear intimidated for once. He was my father, for crying out loud… I fisted my fingers to stop them from trembling, taking a deep breath. “Did you know?” He furrowed his brows slightly in confusion. “Know what?” “About the kill-list that was made by Julio De Luca,” I explained, my fingers biting into my palms. “Did you know Dante’s name is on there?”

"No… this can't be…" Arthur staggered backward, barely able to stay on his feet, his eyes wide with disbelief. Victoria let out a blood-curdling scream before collapsing, overwhelmed by the shock. The entire altar was swallowed by a deathly silence, broken only by the howl of the wind. Liam, seeing his deception exposed, stared at me in disbelief. "Elena… how did you know?" Then, almost muttering to himself, he tried to justify, "I handled everything perfectly. Anyone who knew the truth… I eliminated them. I even used a special method to hide the mate bond between us."

Lucien's POV Seeing the pure joy on Lila's face when she told me about her mother's scans was something I knew I'd never forget. For the first time since she'd signed our contract, the guarded look in her eyes had completely vanished, replaced by something radiant that tightened my chest in a way that had nothing to do with corporate metrics or legal agreements. She was still gripping my shirt, breathing fast, and looking down at her, I felt a fierce urge to keep that smile on her face for as long as I possibly could.

Vivian blushed and looked at Kirito as he looked at her, intensely. "He really loves you, huh. I mean, I'd love to have someone look at me with those eyes" Vivian intertwined the fingers of both her hands together as she bit her lips while smiling. "Aww, this is so cute." Lucus closed his book and it just disappeared into black clouds. His hair turned back to blonde and his eyes turned back to blue. "What's the future for this, Jericho?" Vivian asked. He leaned towards her and pressed his fingers on her lips "No spoilers. You'll get bored like me, if you know everything beforehand."

They knew the stakes were high, and the outcome of this duel would determine the fate of their realm. With a thunderous roar, Deucalion lunged at Lucius, his claws slashing through the air. Lucius dodged the attack with agility, countering with a swift swipe of his own. The clash of fangs and claws reverberated through the air as the two powerful leaders engaged in a fierce battle. Their movements were a dance of strength and strategy, each trying to gain the upper hand. Lucius relied on his connection to nature's energy, channeling it into his attacks, while Deucalion tapped into dark magic, augmenting his strength with malevolent power.

Dante said calmly “I believe that we have organized it well enough for you to be satisfied alongside the other partners, shareholders, and ‘friends’. Don’t worry, we won’t have a sniper pointed at you, by the way” Giovanni clenched his fist, but said nothing as he took a step back, followed by another man, and judging by Leo and Aunt Gabriella’s glares, I could tell that it was Mattia. The men walked toward a table, and nodding at the bartender, the man brought them two glasses.

I want this token to be remembered for all eternity. 'Are you sure about this, Greko? I heard that he pampered his luna to the moon.' 'Do not tell me that you are getting scared of that whore? The behemoth lost because she summoned the Phoniex from the elven continent. But summoning a supernatural beast like that one needs offering and great strength. I am damn sure that the whore is recuperating right now behind that bastard.'
