~ Reagan's POV~Lumiére slowly opened his eyes, looking at Reagan and then shifting his gaze to Noah, who still wore a stunned expression on his face."Why are you here?" Lumiére asked Noah, confusion evident in his voice."To save your ass," Reagan replied bluntly. He wasted no time and instructed Noah, "Help me carry him." Together, they carefully lifted Lumiére and carried him over to the car. Placing him in the backseat, Reagan climbed in after him and closed the door.Noah took the driver's seat and started the car, pulling out of the parking lot behind another black SUV. "You were grounded, Noah. I explicitly told you not to leave the Sanctuary," Lumiére voiced his disapproval from the back seat.Noah remained silent, his gaze meeting Reagan's through the rearview mirror. Understanding the situation, Reagan shook his head slightly."I allowed him to come," Reagan said, looking back at Lumiére." …and Arin? You couldn't call him or what?" Lumiére asked.Reagan scoffed, so much

~ Lumiére's POV~"They made a grave mistake by not killing me when they had the chance to do so" Lumiére muttered, a lethal undertone lacing his words. The anger he felt towards those responsible was palpable.Arin, with a solemn expression, sighed. "I think it's best if you stay home and have someone accompany you whenever you need to leave and also not be alone for the time being. It seems like your mere presence now attracts danger…Especially With the approaching full moon, things are becoming more dangerous," he warned.Lumiére rolled his eyes, a mix of frustration and understanding evident on his face. While he didn't particularly enjoy being confined or constantly monitored, he knew that Arin's advice was rooted in genuine concern for his safety. Besides, He was quite aware of the fact that Reagan was sitting down near him and was patiently awaiting the right moment to speak up.Acknowledging Arin's cautionary advice, Lumiére nodded in agreement. He had no intention of arguing a

~ Raven's POV~"The bathroom is over in the corner," the woman informed her, pointing in the direction. "There are fresh clothes waiting for you in the closet. I'll bring dinner to you when it's ready," she added before leaving the room. Raven stood there, taking in the grandeur of her surroundings. After a few minutes, she felt a chilly breeze brush against her skin, reminding her of the open balcony doors. She quickly moved to close them, not wanting to catch a cold in this splendid but drafty room. Curiosity led her to explore the lavish bathroom next. Every single item in the space seemed to be adorned with gold accents. The bathtub itself resembled something out of a movie, one of those extravagant ones she had only seen on television. Without hesitation, she ran warm water into the tub and immersed herself in its inviting embrace. She could stay in here forever without leaving if this was what they enjoyed. In that moment, Raven couldn't help but feel a glimpse of the enjoy

~ Reagan's POV~Reagan's heart pounded in his chest as adrenaline surged through his veins. It was a feeling though, because he didn't have a beating heart. He had been lying in wait, hidden behind a huge tree, hoping to catch the vampire off guard. But now, their carefully laid plans had Ben discovered, and his cover had been blown. There was no point in hiding any longer. As he burst through his hiding place, Reagan could hear Arin's urgent voice echoing in his head, pleading for him to stop. But he couldn't heed the call. The vampire was on the move, and Reagan couldn't let him escape. With determination fueling his every step, he leaped over a fallen tree with lightning speed, pushing his body to its limits as he pursued the elusive Vampire through the dense forest.The figure of the vampire darted ahead, effortlessly maneuvering through the trees with an otherworldly grace that only Vampires possess. Reagan knew that if he lost sight of him now, it would be nearly impossible

~ Lumiére's POV~Lumiére kept running his hand through his hair again and again. He was getting more and more frustrated with each passing minute, and it was obvious to everyone in the room that he was not in the mood to deal with whatever problem they were discussing."I get what you're saying, but I don't see why you want to change the date... it's already perfect!" Lord Ramona said, trying to stay calm and understanding.Lumiére quietly mumbled to himself, trying to relax in his seat. Somehow, the news had spread to the other Sanctuaries that he had found his future wife.Because of this, the Lords of those Sanctuaries had called for a meeting at the fortress, but it annoyed Lumiére that Reagan, the person who got him into this mess, wasn't there to suffer with him.The room felt tense, as everyone could sense Lumiére's frustration. He was clearly carrying a lot of responsibility and feeling a lot of pressure."I didn't say it wasn't perfect... I'm just saying there's a lot that ne
