CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY FOUR
Viktor stood in the garden behind the estate with hands behind his back as he stared at the fountain in the middle of the courtyard, watching water trickle slowly down the stone like it was bleeding. He didn’t move, not until he heard the footsteps behind him. He turned around slowly to confirm. Kia, good. She walked in, arms folded, wearing a loose dress and a light jacket over it. Her skin glowed in the sun, and even though she looked tired, there was something undeniably radiant and powerful about her. But what was it? He wondered. “Hello Viktor.” She said, her voice calm but tone guarded. “What was so important to discuss that it had to be done outside? Is Devin alright? Are you alright?” Viktor smiled gently and walked towards her. “Yes, of course. I just… I wanted to check on you. You’ve been glowing lately, and I wanted to know how you’re really feeling. I thought maybe you wouldn’t want to have this conversation inside with all the eyes and ears.” She nodded, con
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY THREE
Klaus’ glass paused midair, and Sera stiffened, her lips parted in shock. Amanda got out of the shadows like a ghost, dressed in black jeans and a hoodie, her hair tied back tight, her jaw clenched like it had been wired shut. Behind her, Luther followed quietly, his arms crossed, eyes taking in the scene with a hint of amusement and a bit wary because of how Amanda was looking. Amanda stopped a few feet from the table, the heels of her boots clicking lightly. Her eyes locked with her mother’s first. “Wow, really?” Amanda said with a dry chuckle. “Pregnant? Really, Mum? You just couldn’t keep your legs closed.” Sera’s face turned red in a flash. “You little—” Amanda didn’t wait. “Save it! You slept with my boyfriend in the fucking hospital while I was bedridden, bleeding like a stuck pig. And now you’re here, crying about pregnancy like you’re a teenager who missed health class.” Klaus stood slowly, mouth twitching in annoyance. “This has nothing to do with you, Am
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY TWO
The bar was like any other night. Klaus thought as he went in, so thick with smoke, the smell of perfume, cheap and otherwise, and so many youngsters mourning their broken dreams. Or broken love. It was always one of those two. Klaus sat slouched in a booth at the far end of the dim room, a glass of whiskey in one hand and the bottle he had ordered less than five minutes ago already half gone in front of him. His shirt was wrinkled, bloodstained at the collar, and one side of his jaw was still slightly swollen. The bartender had stopped checking on him after the third time he muttered “mind your fucking business before I tear your face off!” And now, Klaus sat in silence, staring at the glass like it had answers to his predicament. His mind kept drifting back and forth. Devin, Viktor, that goddamn fight. He chuckled. It would really suck to have someone on one’s team turn away from him, especially in times of need. As for Viktor? That guy didn’t give a shit about anything, just
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY ONE
Klaus slammed the door of the abandoned warehouse opened, panting hard. The already destroyed door came apart completely, and his coat was torn, his ribs ached, and there was dried blood on his top lip. The rune bracelet on his wrist had lost its glow. He kicked a chair out of his way with a frustrated yell and stormed deeper into the cold, empty room where Viktor was already waiting for him. Viktor leaned casually against the far wall, his arms folded, looking like he hadn’t moved in hours. “You're late, Klaus.” Viktor said, his voice calm as always. “I take it the visit didn’t go well.” Klaus let out a harsh laugh that sounded more like an insult. “Didn’t go well? Are you fucking kidding me? You set me up!” He yelled, pointing a shaky hand at him. “You said that rune would protect me! It didn’t do shit!” “I don’t believe that. Did Devin successfully use his powers on you?” Viktor asked angrily “You’re still alive, aren’t you? How dare you insult my work?!” Klaus too
ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY
The giant doors of Devin Stone’s main office slammed open with a loud bang. Klaus stepped in like a storm, black coat billowing behind him, his boots sounding powerful against the marble tiles. The guards outside had already been dealt with, just a simple burst of energy had been enough to knock them out cold without drawing too much attention to his person. Viktor had told him to be smart, not subtle. But Klaus? He never did subtle. Devin looked up from his desk slowly, the golden pen in his hand stalling mid-signature. His eyes narrowed. “It’s you. What the fuck are you doing here?” Klaus grinned. “You don’t recognise me, do you?” “Oh, I do.” Devin stood up, pushing his chair back gently. “You're the cousin who introduced himself to me at the Mayor’s event, isn’t that right?” Klaus just stared at him. “Good. Now, brother, you have five seconds to explain why you just kicked down my door.” Klaus's hand tightened at his side, but he forced a smile. “Five secon
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY NINE
Klaus had received the message yesterday. It wasn’t really much of a message, just a single ominous text. -I looked into you and we have the same motive. Devin must go down. Meet me at the abandoned warehouse in Oakley Road.- That was it. At first, Klaus thought that it was a silly little trap. But then he thought again. What if it was real? And if it wasn’t, he had single-handedly murdered Elijah and all his people, bringing the mansion down, he was sure he could easily hold himself. The warehouse was dark and quiet, the kind of place where back-alley deals turned into bloodbaths. Klaus entered through the creaky door, his coat brushing against the rusted metal frame as his boots made squelching across the cracked concrete floor. He didn’t like this, not one bit. Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back… that was the saying, right? “Alright!” He called out fearlessly, his voice, slicing through the silence like a blade. “If this is a fucking trap, I swe
