Lucas’s whole body tensed up again, while Lilith let out a frustrated sigh. She was even starting to lose the energy to be angry now.

“Seriously? Noah always comes to interrupt,” Lilith muttered without realizing it.

Lucas slowly moved away from Lilith, but his gaze remained fixed on the dark living room window. Noah hadn’t tried to do anything to get in yet. But Noah’s mere presence there was enough to make the air in the house feel stifling.

“Stay here.” Lucas spoke without turning his head e

    The next morning, Ingrid was once again standing beneath the old tree with Lucas and Lilith. In her hands, she held a few small tools, a dry brush, and a sheet of parchment covered in notes. Selene stood watching beside Ingrid. So the four of them were now gathered around the old tree.“Last night I was thinking about something,” said Ingrid as she brushed away the moss still clinging to the tree trunk.“About what?” asked Lilith.“This inscription doesn’t mention lineage. It talks about chosen blood.” Ingrid pointed to the carving, and Lucas nodded in agreement.“So that means there’s a condition we haven’t fully understood yet.”Selene sighed. “In that case, do we have to wait for the next clue to appear on its own?”“Not necessarily,” Ingrid replied, turning to Lilith. “Lilith.”“Hm?”“Are you willing to try something?”Lilith nodded without the slightest hesitation. “I’ll try anything.”Lucas immediately shot a stern glance at Ingrid. “Don’t put her in danger.”Ingrid smiled sligh

    The next morning, Lilith returned to the old tree behind the mansion. For some reason, ever since Lucas had told her about the promise he’d made with her father, the place felt very different. Warmer and more familiar. Lilith gently stroked the rough tree trunk.“What exactly is Dad hiding here?” Lilith murmured softly.“Lilith?”Lucas walked over to Lilith with a light jog. Just like the past few days, Lucas seemed to have gotten used to looking for Lilith in the mansion’s backyard every day. Lilith turned and smiled at Lucas. Soon after, they were standing side by side under the old tree, enjoying the morning air that was still very fresh.“Lucas.”“Hm?”“If you could turn back time, would you still make that promise?” Lilith gazed at the sky, which was beginning to brighten.“Yes.” Lucas didn’t even need a moment to think before answering.“You answered that so quickly?”“I’ll never regret it.”Lilith smiled slightly. “Even though that promise made your life so much more complicate

    That morning, the mansion felt much busier than usual. Ingrid had filled the library table with various parchment scrolls, old maps, and ancient books she had collected over hundreds of years. Lucas stood beside Ingrid, reading one of the notes. Lilith arrived carrying two cups of hot tea for Ingrid and Selene, who were still busy with their own search.“It seems like you’ve been busy since dawn…” Lilith murmured.Ingrid gave a small smile. “If my hunch is right, we’re getting closer.”Lilith then set the teacups down on the table. “Closer to what?”Ingrid held up a parchment. “To the place where the original journal is hidden.”Lilith’s heart beat a little faster. For the past few weeks, they had indeed been searching for clues. But for the first time, Ingrid sounded truly certain about the clue she now had. Shortly afterward, Selene arrived carrying a few more books from the mansion’s storeroom.“I found these,” she said, placing the books on the table. “Maybe there’s something here

    That night, rain fell gently, soaking the mansion’s garden. The soft patter of rain could be heard through the master bedroom window. Lilith sat on the edge of the bed, reading one of the old books Ingrid had lent her.But for the past fifteen minutes, she hadn’t turned the page. Lilith’s thoughts were wandering all over the place, about her transformation, about Noah, about her mother’s secret journal, and also about Lucas.“You’ve read that page three times already, Lilith.” Lucas’s voice snapped Lilith out of her reverie.Lilith immediately turned to look at him. “Huh?”Lucas closed the book he was reading. “You’re thinking about something.”Lilith gave a small smile. “It’s that obvious, huh?”Lucas nodded slowly. “Always.”Lilith sighed. “I was just...” She gazed at the rain outside the window. “Afraid that all this peace is only temporary.”Lucas looked out the window too. “It is temporary. No peace lasts forever. But... as long as there’s still time to enjoy it, we shouldn’t was

    For the first time in a long while, the mansion was filled with laughter that truly sounded like a home, not just a place where vampires lived. Evelyn sat with Veronica in the living room, enjoying the tea and apple pie she’d brought earlier. Even Selene joined them, occasionally cracking jokes that made everyone laugh.“I just found out that Lucas can actually smile like that,” said Evelyn.Selene burst out laughing. “Believe me, we just found that out too.”Lucas, who was reading a book, just sighed softly. “You guys are overreacting.”“Not at all, Lucas,” replied Veronica with a mischievous smile. “Ever since Lilith came back, this mansion has been so much livelier.”Lucas didn’t argue at all. He just lifted his book, while Lilith, sitting next to him, tried hard to hide her face, which was starting to turn red. As evening approached, Evelyn said her goodbyes and headed home.“I don’t want to be a bother to you guys,” said Evelyn.Lilith immediately shook her head. “You’re never a

    It had been almost a week since Lilith moved back into the mansion. Her days were starting to follow a new routine. In the mornings, she trained with Lucas. In the afternoons, she helped Ingrid translate ancient symbols. In the evenings, she spent time with Lucas.Even if they were just sitting side by side in the library or enjoying tea on the balcony, Lilith began to realize one thing. She was getting used to his presence in her daily activities. She even started to miss him when Lucas was gone for just a few hours.“Don’t keep staring at him like that,” Selene said, making Lilith jump.“What?”Selene leaned against the library doorway, grinning mischievously at Lilith.“I wasn’t...”“Liar.”Lilith immediately closed the book in her hand. “I was just listening to his explanation, that’s all.”“Oh, really?” Selene chuckled softly. “Then why did your eyes follow Lucas when he moved to the next shelf?”Lilith opened her mouth, then closed it again. She couldn’t even begin to refute wha

    Lilith didn’t know how long she had been sitting in silence, feeling as though everything had become too much, too fast, and simply too absurd. She closed her eyes for a moment, trying to steady her rapid breathing and gather her scattered thoughts.“If all of that is really true...” Lilith finally

    Lilith didn’t even know what to say. Her mind felt completely empty. Her palms were trembling violently, even though she was trying to hold them steady. Her mind was struggling to process something that felt too vast for her to grasp all at once. Half-human. Half-vampire. Those words still echoed i

    The little house looked very quiet. But for the first time, that silence no longer felt painful. Lilith stood by the window, gazing at the sky that was beginning to clear after a long night of rain. The air around her was still very cold, but her mind was slowly beginning to feel calmer than before

    Tonight felt longer than usual. The wind no longer felt refreshing. And for Lucas, tonight was a cruel night. Lucas stood in the middle of the dark forest, his breathing calm, too steady for someone who was losing the most precious thing he’d ever had.Lilith. Her name kept echoing in Lucas’s mind.
