The rain fell in a persistent drizzle, as if the sky itself mourned what was about to unfold.
Elizabeth stood by the bedroom window, watching the droplets slide down the glass. A strange heaviness pressed against her chest, as if something was creeping into her life—something she could not escape.
Her phone rang. Lucas… her childhood friend. The one who had always been there, through every memory and shadow of her past. But why did his voice tremble with worry this time?
"Elizabeth… we… we need to talk."
Lucas's voice quavered slightly, making her heart skip. She knew, deep down, that this was no ordinary conversation.
Before she could respond, the door opened—Seraphim. The mysterious man she had met only a few times, yet somehow, urgency followed him wherever he went, as if everything had been predetermined.
"Elizabeth… what I have to tell you… it concerns our blood oath."
The words made her knees weak. A blood oath… a single phrase she had never understood, yet it bound her fate to these two men in ways she could not escape.
Lucas stood beside her, eyes filled with pain and unspoken hope. He loved her… in a way he had never voiced.
"We'll be together… no matter what happens," he whispered, firm and steady.
Elizabeth turned to Seraphim, the man hiding a dark past. Yet why did her heart pound whenever he was near?
The rain continued to pour, carrying with it mystery and tangled emotions into the small, tense room.
Elizabeth knew… her life would never be the same again.
💔 Blood. Love. Betrayal. An unbreakable oath—whose heart will hers choose?
