My head throbbed as I continuously tried to contact Mint or Wind. Alas, all of my efforts were thwarted by the vampire in front of me, he definitely possessed a sort of telepathic power.

He was closing in rapidly, giving me no time to breathe.

Though I could not see the expression on his face, I could tell he held malicious intentions towards me.

Within the darkness, I saw a silhouette resembling a sword forming around his hand.

"First, the barrier cast by the young master needs to go away."

He raised his sword, and the force surrounding it made my hair stand. I didn't think twice, preparing to leap aside.

That's when I noticed the vampire freezing up and he moved.

"Wha--" I muttered out, my words cutting off.

The next moment, instead of me leaping aside, it was him.

"...!"

In an instant, the glass walls to my apartment shattered into pieces. My legs twitched but I was too late, and I shielded my face with my arms as a last resort.

Right before I did that, I caught a glimpse of a winged humanoid figure rushing into the scene via the broken walls.

To my surprise, the glass pieces couldn't even reach me as a wall of blood blocked my vision. The glass shards simply bounced off the barrier, landing on the marble floor with a soft ringing noise.

A dizzy spell hit me instantly, making me stumble.

"...va..!"

The barrier disappeared as quickly as it appeared. The same winged humanoid figure was suddenly in front of me, the moonlight from outside revealing his familiar good-looking face.

This must be the form where he was most powerful.

"Eva!"

His voice filled my chest with warmth, and a smile flitted past my lips.

Even in such a situation, I still felt happy.

"...Segi--"

My words were cut off as he engulfed me in a hug. His black wings enshrouded me, his arms around my shoulders and waist.

"You are okay," his breathing was rough as his voice trembled. "You are okay."

It seemed like he was expressing his relief rather than comforting me.

I continued smiling, raising my hand and patting on his back. His wings twitched under my palm as I did so.

"...yes, Segi, I'm fine," I said softly. "Thanks to you."

"I thought staying away from you would be better," he tightened his arms around me, anger lacing his voice. "I was wrong, very wrong."

"Segi."

"What is it? Ar-are you really hurt after all?!"

He inhaled sharply, recoiling back in alarm. I could finally take a good look at his face, after a month of missing him.

"No, you aren't hurt. You can't be hurt."

His concerned red vampiric eyes, his furrowed defined eyebrows and his beautiful thin lips were slightly pursed.

"I don't smell your blood anywhere--and your breathing is stable."

"I'm fine."

"Now that I'm here, I won't let anything hurt you," he growled out angrily, his touch on me was gentle. "Not even a single strand of hair."
