Victoria’s POV My life came crumbling down after the gala event. Michael had refused to speak to me. My friends avoided me like a plague and worse, I was all over the internet. The headlines only made the frown on my face deepen. VICTORIA STERLING BECOMES THE LAUGHINGSTOCK OF THE NIGHT STERLING HEIRESS MAKES A FOOL OF HERSELF AT THE CHARITY GALA VICTORIA GALA DISASTER YOUNG HEIRESS FACES HUMILIATION THAT LEFT GUESTS SPEECHLESS The comments were even worse. “Is she on drugs?” “Poor Michael. Other suitors who had wanted to marry her truly dodged a bullet.” “Top socialite? What a joke!” “I knew her perfect image was fake.” “Guys, I heard she even hugged a male waiter in front of everyone.” I dug my nails into my skin, but it didn’t ease my fury. My eyes were locked on the screen, my grip tightening around my phone. There was even a new harsh tag that was circulating. #BANN VICTORIA FROM SOCAL EVENTS Anger surged within me, my body shaking uncontrollably.

Alice’s POV It’s been two days since I last saw Klaus. I didn’t want to see him. So I had locked myself inside my room. Memories of how he had discarded my food without even giving it a try, replayed in my mind like an endless tune. The way he had supported Diana without a second thought, without considering how I’ll feel or about the effort I had put into it. I clenched my fist inside my sleeve. “I’m done trying,” I muttered under my breath. Maybe it was time I stick with the marriage arrangements, after all, falling in love was never part of the deal. A knock on the door snapped me out of my thoughts. It was probably Hannah. I’m sure she wants to give me my breakfast. But right now, I wasn’t in the mood. “Hannah, come back later.” But the knock on the door didn’t stop, instead it increased. With gritted teeth, I reluctantly stood up, feeling annoyed. Opening the door, it wasn’t Hannah, instead it was Klaus. The moment I set my eyes on him, my heart skipped. Damn

Alice’s POV“You’re…back,” Klaus said.“Of course!” She exclaimed. “I wouldn’t miss your birthday for anything.”Klaus laughed. Not the usual low or cold one, an actual laughter. The sound made my chest squeeze painfully. Diana stood up, revealing her perfect hour glass shape. “Did you like my gift?”The smile on his face deepened. “No I didn’t like it,” Klaus replied. “I loved it.”My nails dug into my skin, trying to ease the ache. They interacted naturally, like they had known themselves forever. For once in my life, Klaus actually seemed like a normal person. He wasn’t the cold CEO, neither was he the man everyone feared. He was just…warm, unusually warm towards her. Klaus didn’t even glance at me, completely occupied in his conversation with Diana. I felt invisible, completely ignored. Then, Diana’s gaze shifted to me. I could swear I saw something flicker in her green eyes, but it vanished so fast that I thought maybe I had imagined it. “So it’s true,” she muttered. “Klau

Alice’s POV Klaus kept staring at the toy and smiling. The more I looked at him, the more my chest ached. “So today’s your brithday?” He finally tore his gaze from the toy, his eyes meeting mine. “Yeah.” “Will you celebrate it?” Klaus shrugged. “Alice, it’s not a national holiday. It’s just like every other day.” “No it’s not,” I said. “Why will you even say that? Everyone deserves to feel special on days like this.” Silence. He looked at me, a flicker of emotion flashing in his eyes. What can I gift him? He has money, and any luxurious thing I can think about. Alice, think. This is even harder than I thought. Suddenly, an idea popped in my head. I stood up from the dinning table. “Well, that changes from today.” He lifted his head. “What do you mean?” “Get up.” Klaus raised his brows. “Excuse me?” “You heard me clearly.” “Since when did you start ordering me around?” I sighed. “Please get up, Klaus.” He narrowed his eyes. “That’s too formal.”

Alice’s POVThe ride back home was peaceful. The atmosphere even seemed a bit…romantic. I couldn’t help but steal glances at Klaus. He looked even more handsome and charming today. His dark brown hair that was a bit messy from exhaustion fell on one side of his face, adding more allure to him. My heart pounded fast in my chest as I stared at him. “What?” He asked. “Is there something on my face?”My face burned. “No…nothing.”“Or you’ve finally realized your husband is the most handsome man alive. Huh?”I rolled my eyes.“Pfff. Dream on.”“Wait, so you mean you’ve actually seen a better good looking man than me?”I didn’t reply because I couldn’t. If I told him the truth, it would fuel his ego. “Tell me,” he said, coming closer.“Don’t tell me it’s Michael,” he laughed. “Even a blind woman can see he’s not at my level.”“Michael isn’t the only handsome man I know, okay.”“So tell me, who’s the man able to catch your eyes?”A smile formed on my lips as I folded my arms. “I won’t tel

Alice’s POV The moment her gaze landed on Klaus, she smiled brightly as if she had just won a lottery. “Good morning Mr Gambino,” she said sweetly, her gaze lingering for too long. Klaus didn’t even glance at her. Instead, he turned to one of the employees. “Adjourn the 10 am meeting to 11. I have other matters to attend to.”“Yes Sir.”The smile on her face froze. She cleared her throat, flinging her black wavy hair. “Mr Gambino, I’ve prepared the account reports you requested for.”Still nothing. Klaus didn’t even bother to look at her direction. “Good,” he said flatly. She blinked, her fingers tightening around the document she was holding.“Alice, come,” Klaus whispered softly, as he guided me forward with his hand on my back.Her face flushed with embarrassment. For a moment, I almost felt bad for her. Then, she glared at me. “I didn’t know Mr Gambino was bringing guests today.”Silence. My brows rose. Before I could say a word, Klaus finally looked at her. The temperatur

Lucas’s POVSilence. Nobody spoke. John’s face had gone completely pale. “That’s impossible,” he whispered.“One person can’t erase an entire race.”None of us believed our own words. Because the journal was right before us.Written by Mr.Grim Reaper.And if Felicia truly wiped out the vampires…Then Phoebe wasn’t traveling with her mother…she was traveling with a monster.A sudden cold swept through the room.The journal flipped rapidly on its own.“That’s not normal,” Aurora whispered, taking a step back. Then, a page turned on its own.An invisible ink made new words.Too lateMy brows furrowed. Too late for?Aurora grabbed my arm. “Lucas…we need to leave. Now!”But I couldn’t move. Because one sentence was forming at the bottom of the page. The girl belongs to her.My heart dropped.Was it referring to…Phoebe?Then, we heard footsteps approaching. My body went cold. “We’re dead meat,” Aurora whispered. “Guys, hide,” I said, my voice barely audible. I hid under the desk.

Chapter 54 : The Journal filled with secrets Lucas’s POVIt had been two days. Two days without Phoebe. My wolf and I were losing it. Each second without her felt like I was breathing in fire. The room was as silent as a graveyard, the air thick with tension. “So what’s the plan?” Aurora asked.I sighed, my fingers pushing through my hair.“I-I don’t know.”“Eric did say the answers we seek lies with Mr. Grim Reaper,” John uttered.“Yeah. But the problem now is…how do we get it from him?”“Maybe we could ask…nicely?” John suggested. Before he could say more, Aurora shot him a disapproving look. “Try to think with your brain, not your butthole.”Their voices faded into nothingness, the thought of her invading my mind.I hadn’t slept. I couldn’t.Because everytime I closed my eyes, all I could see…was her. Somewhere out there, Phoebe was all alone. No. I can’t just fold my hands and watch. I have to do something. Then, a crazy idea popped in my head.“What if…what if we could

Lucas’s POV Suddenly, my chest ached, feeling like razors slashing at my heart. Lucian, my wolf, roared, intensively clawing against my chest like he wanted to come out. “What’s happening?”“Mate! Mate!” Lucian howled.My stomach dropped. “Phoebe!” I called out, jolting out of my bed. “Lucas, I wish I could tell you. But I can’t.” Her voice rang in my head. The way she looked broken, as if carrying the world behind her shoulders. I knew she was hiding something. But I hope it’s not what I’m thinking. My door bursted open violently, Aurora’s flushed face coming into view. Her chest heaved, her breathing coming out as ragged gasps. “Lucas,” Aurora panted, looking like she just ran a marathon race. “Phoe..Phoebe…she’s gone.”Colour drained from my face. “What do you mean she’s gone?” I asked, standing up abruptly. “She’s no longer in the school.”My heart sank. “She told me she was leaving,” Aurora continued. “But I didn’t know it will be this soon.” “What?”“I’m sorry I didn’

Phoebe’s POV When it was exactly 5pm, I picked up my bag. My gaze swept through the room, lingering on Aurora’s ugly writing on the wall. BESTIES FOREVER. A small smile formed on my lips as memories flooded my mind. The way she had placed her hand on her hip, pushing out her chest as if she had just created a masterpiece. “You’re impossible,” I had told her. “Yet you love me,” she replied, before jumping on the bed. My fingers brushed softly against the wall. Every corner reminded me of what I was going to lose. Eric sneaking through my window with that annoying smirk on his face. The way my face lit up at the sight of Lucas. Everything. My grip on the door handle tightened. Suddenly, it was difficult to breathe. The room felt smaller, as if it was begging me not to leave. With a deep sigh, I dragged my feet, walking away. The moment I stepped outside the school gates, my vision blurred. I couldn’t help but stare at the building one last time. Crimson Moon Acad

Phoebe’s POV“I think we should break up.” I regretted the words that slipped out of my mouth. But it was too late. I had already said it. Lucas's face was as pale as white sheet.“What did you say?”“You heard me loud and clear,” I replied.“I’m not saying we should break the mate bond,” I added. “I just want…space.” Each syllable made my chest ache and my wolf, Selene whine in my head, protesting rigorously. “Is this a sort of prank,” Lucas asked. “You know it’s not,” I whispered. The world narrowed to just us, the noise around me disappearing. The horrified stares. Derek’s groans. Nothing else mattered anymore. “Are you in a sort of danger?” He asked. “No.”“You’re lying.”“I’m not.”“For fuck sake, your heart beat changes every time you lie.”I swallowed hard. Damn mate bond. “Please, leave me alone.”Lucas stared at me like he couldn’t recognize the person standing in front of him. His jaw tightened. “Look at me and tell me you don’t love me anymore.”My throat burned.

Phoebe’s POV A breath caught in my throat as I pushed my room door open. Felicia. She sat quietly on the edge of my bed, her gaze boring a hole through me. “Hope you’ve said all your goodbyes,” she said, her voice devoid of any emotion. “We leave tomorrow evening.” My chest tightened. The word “tomorrow” rang over and over in my head. The atmosphere in the room dropped, feeling suffocating. My gaze drifted unconsciously around the room. The memories Aurora and I had shared. My first kiss with Eric. This place had become my home. And now I was leaving it behind. “Okay, Felicia,” I nodded. She tilted her head. “You don’t look happy.” “Of course, I am,” I replied with a smile that didn’t reach my eyes. “You shouldn’t grow attached,” she murmured. “Once you do, it will become your weakness.” “Is that why you left me and dad?” I snapped, clenching my fist. Her body stiffened, obviously caught off guard. “Nonsense,” she retorted, something unknown flickering in
