BLOODBOUND HEART

In the aftermath of the humiliating prank, Helena sought solace in the comforting embrace of the bookstore. One evening, as she was preparing to close the shop, a charming stranger entered, introducing himself as Lucian. He struck up a conversation with Helena, showing a keen interest in her favorite books and life at school.

As they talked, Lucian skillfully steered the conversation toward Xavier, expressing sympathy for Helena's plight. Sensing her vulnerability, he planted seeds of doubt in her mind, suggesting that Xaviour's motives might be more sinister than she realized.

Despite her misgivings, Helena found herself drawn to Lucian's charismatic presence, unwittingly revealing details about her life and her encounters with Xaviour. Unbeknownst to her, Lucian was gathering information, intent on exploiting Helena's connection to Xavier for his own dark purposes.

As their encounter came to an end, Lucian left Helena with a cryptic warning about Xavier, promising to keep in touch and help her uncover the truth. Conflicted and confused, Helena couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to Lucian than met the eye.

Little did she know that she had just fallen into the cunning trap of Xavier's ruthless brother, who would stop at nothing to achieve his own malevolent goals. With each step she took closer to Lucian, Helena was unwittingly inching towards a dangerous precipice, one that threatened to consume her in the shadowy world of vampires and betrayal.

After Lucian left, she thought a little about what Lucian told her. A part of her didn't want to believe and trust Lucian. She still found her self drawn to Xaviour .

As she locked the bookstore door behind her, she could have sworn she saw Lucian watching from the shadows, a smirk playing on his lips. Was he really here to help her... or was she just another pawn in his game?
