All Chapters of Sire Bond: The Vampire's Obsession: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Lilith didn’t realize exactly when her tears began to fall and wet her face. She simply stood right in front of her rented house, her breathing feeling much heavier than before. The funeral. She recalled that funeral.It wasn’t just a vague fragment like her previous memories. This time the memory felt complete, real, and also incredibly painful. Meanwhile, Lucas, standing beside Lilith, didn’t move a muscle. Yet Lilith could feel the man’s full attention focused on her now.“What do you remember?” Lucas asked softly.Lilith swallowed, then slowly closed her eyes, and the memory came flooding back into her mind.***The sky that day was very overcast. Little Lilith stood among people dressed entirely in black. Too many unfamiliar faces. Too many indistinct whispers. Too many pitying glances that Lilith didn’t want at all.Lilith didn’t cry then. Not even when her mother’s coffin began to be lowered slowly into the ground. Lilith just stood there silently. She looked and felt completel

On the way home from Ingrid’s antique shop, Lilith barely spoke a word to Evelyn. Evelyn had glanced at Lilith several times from the driver’s seat, but chose to remain silent. Her best friend knew her well enough to know when to ask questions and when to let her process everything on her own first.Today clearly fell into the latter category. As more and more fragments of the past came flooding back, Lilith felt more and more that her life up until now had been built upon deeper, darker secrets. Secrets about her blood. Secrets about Lucas. Secrets about Noah.And now, the possibility that Lilith’s father’s death might not have been as simple as she had always believed. The car finally came to a slow stop right in front of Lilith’s rental house. Evelyn turned off the engine, then turned to face her.“Do you want me to stay over again tonight?” Evelyn asked, her tone light.But Lilith knew the real reason. Evelyn was worried. And to be honest, Lilith was worried too. But this time, Li

Morning came sooner than Lilith would have liked. After a long conversation with Lucas the night before, Lilith’s mind felt far more exhausted than her body. And what was even more frustrating was that Lilith didn’t really regret last night. Lucas hadn’t pressured her. He hadn’t brought up the bond. Nor had he tried to convince Lilith to choose anything.They had just talked. And precisely because of that, Lilith found it increasingly difficult to keep her distance from Lucas now. When Lilith walked toward the kitchen, Lucas was no longer there.The sun was beginning to rise, and even though a vampire as strong and as old as Lucas could last longer than an ordinary vampire, he still needed to avoid daylight if possible. However, right on the kitchen counter was a small piece of paper with neat, familiar handwriting.‘Call me if you need anything. Lucas.’Lilith stared at the note for a few seconds. Then, without realizing it, she began to smile.“This is starting to become a problem..

That night, Lilith couldn’t sleep. Not because of dreams, the bond, or Noah. But because of one stupid sentence that had come out of her own mouth. “I’m starting to hate it when you do that.” Damn it. Lilith had actually said that right to Lucas’s face. And what was far worse was that Lucas had heard it loud and clear.Lilith pulled the blanket up to cover her face, then groaned softly. “Why did I say that just now...”Because even now, Lilith could no longer pretend. Not to herself. Not after everything that had happened. Not after the way Lucas touched her hair that afternoon. Not after the look they’d shared. And most of all, not after Lilith realized she didn’t want Lucas to drift away from her again.The next morning, Lilith decided to do something else more productive. Or at least she tried to. She cleaned the house. She started by sweeping the floor, doing laundry, and anything else that might keep her mind occupied. But unfortunately, nothing worked.Because every few minutes,

Lilith couldn’t remember the last time she’d slept so peacefully. No nightmares. No flashes of memory that made her wake up in the middle of the night. No fear that seemed to haunt her constantly. Just a very peaceful and very deep sleep.When she opened her eyes the next morning, sunlight was already streaming through the cracks in the curtains. For a few seconds, Lilith just lay still, savoring all the peace she’d found there. Then her memories came flooding back, the mansion, the embrace, Lucas, and instantly, it all made her bury her face in the pillow.“Oh my God...”Lilith had actually hugged Lucas last night. That hug wasn’t driven by their bond, or panic, or a loss of control. But Lilith had truly done it because she genuinely wanted to. And now, there was no way to pretend it didn’t mean anything between the two of them.When Lilith finally went downstairs, the aroma of coffee and breakfast immediately greeted her. Veronica was sitting in the dining room with a glass filled w
