134.

The night air was cold and sharp outside the hospital, the streetlights casting harsh, yellow pools of light on the sidewalk.

Klaus stood under one of them, his breath visible in the cold air, and he wished he had brought a thicker coat.

He was standing there because Sera had texted, saying she wanted to meet outside. Well, he was outside already, and she was nowhere to be found.

He scoffed, wrestling with he thoughts. Should he really stress himself so much because of her? Sera was beautiful, and Amanda was a replica of her. The woman still had her curves, flair and vigour. He was fascinated by all that, and the fact that she wanted him too made it easier for them to deal with each other.

Sera suddenly emerged from the automatic doors. She wore a coat that was pulled down the the middle of her chest to reveal her cleavage and a different pair of pants and boots. He wanted to ask her if she wasn’t cold, but then again, she was enjoying the view.

Her hair was loose, fr

    Amanda was in the kitchen, slicing some apples slowly. Her back ached, and her ankles were swollen as hell. Everything about this stage of pregnancy sucked, but at least she was far away from Klaus and her traitorous mother. She wondered why she had kept the truth away from Luther. He seemed to be genuinely sorry when she implied it. Not like she said anything about losing her baby, right? People hear what they want to hear. She started humming softly, trying to distract herself with something, anything but her thoughts. The house was quiet, and that was rare these days. Quiet, that is. She had kicked Luther out for the time being too. Let him spend his time in his own place. Right now, all she needed was some space to breathe. But peace never lasted long. Suddenly, the front door burst open with a loud bang. Amanda jumped, the knife clattering to the floor. “Who is there?” She asked loudly. “Show yourself!” Silence. “I have a knife, and I know how to use it.” There wa

    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 for her to complete the statement before her face darkened on the spot. Creases could be seen on her forehead, indicating the boiling anger that she was trying to contain. “Save it! You slept with my boyfriend in the fucking hospital while I was bedridden, bleeding like a stuck pig. And now you

  • 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

    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

    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
