The red strings were faint, almost invisible, but they stretched upward, merging with the blood-colored sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They anchored to one bird among the swirling murder of crows, the largest of them, with burning red eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A raven?\" he muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crows froze mid-flight. The figure of the Lady dissolved into a storm of black feathers. Yet the eyes of every crow fixed on him, not as mindless dream-shapes but as if each one carried its own will, watching him with conscious malice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isolde’s gaze snapped toward him. \"What did you do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean? I just noticed it. That ’Lady’ had strings tied to the raven in the midst of crows.\" His voice carried the same confusion etched across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait... this isn’t your doing?\" Diane pressed, her eyes darting between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isolde didn’t answer, but the tension in her expression said enough. This was beyond her control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone had breached her dream realm, someone strong enough to twist it beneath her nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought unsettled them all. What kind of power could counter a stage-four evolution of the Psyche Bloodstyle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman’s laughter rippled through the air, echoing across the dream. The system flared in Seamus’s sight:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Warning!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Unknown figure detected!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The dream realm is destabilizing as it resists the intruder!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Collapse in 30 seconds!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Sagacitas will become unstable until then.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crows burst apart into feathers that swirled upward, fusing into a colossal raven that loomed over them, its eyes gleaming with intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Long time no see, Isolde,\" a mocking voice cooed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve come far... truly evolved. And it seems you’ve found someone interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fate is cruel, isn’t it? He should have come to us instead of rotting away in the House of Serpent, withered away where he didn’t belong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dream quaked. The bloody sky bled into cracks of real night, reality bleeding through as the realm collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isolde’s lips curled into a smirk. \"A raven. Once a symbol of wisdom... now wallowing in the sewers with scavengers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed. It’s been a while,\" she continued sweetly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want him, come take him. But first, shouldn’t you tell me where you are? My lovely Seamus would gladly come to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isolde raised her hand. The heavens split as massive puppet-like hands reached down, clawing to seize the raven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hoho? Bold, but foolish. This is only my echo, you’ll never catch me here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The raven shattered into a thousand rose petals, spiraling downward like crimson snow. The mocking voice lingered, playful and venomous: \"Don’t trouble yourself over my location. Your precious human will find his way to me soon enough... or perhaps I’ll fetch him myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Goodbye for now, sweetie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A heart-shaped flare exploded across the dream-sky like a firework. Then the realm broke apart completely, shattering into nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They found themselves once again in Velstrath’s garden, now lifeless, dull, and eerily silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seamus exhaled shakily. \"What the hell...\" His voice was low, uncertain, caught between dread and curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isolde’s eyes twitched as she whispered, \"Fucking bitch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scavenger’s body ruptured without warning, spraying blood and viscera across the garden. The metallic scent hit hard, turning the air thick and wet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isolde’s expression soured as she turned away, the hem of her dress unstained only because the blood fell short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seamus started toward her but stopped, instincts pulling him back to where Dylan and Maria lay unconscious in the gore-soaked grass. Lulu knelt beside them, trying to rouse them, her hands trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diane had already followed her mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seamus barked for the silent maids gathering at the edge of the manor grounds. \"Take care of them,\" he ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They bowed without a word, their faces blank as marble but their eyes flicking nervously to the crimson garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found Isolde in her office with Diane mid-interrogation. The younger woman’s tone was sharp, but her fingers twisted the hem of her sleeve as she pressed her mother for answers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Viviane, Diane still sought Isolde’s approval, still moving within the orbit of her mother’s will. Seamus paused in the doorway, realising how lonely that looked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother, just tell me—\" Diane hesitated, her gaze flicking to Seamus as he entered. \"Is she who I think she is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who do you mean?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diane’s lips pressed together as though waiting for permission. This, Seamus thought, was the difference between the two sisters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viviane had rebelled outright, while Diane deferred, measuring every word, every glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could two women shaped by the same past diverge so completely?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isolde, lounging comfortably in her chair, gave a small nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diane exhaled. \"She’s the head of Corvane House. Her name is Roanna.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of power lets her breach your dream?\" Seamus demanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Diane faltered, glancing at her mother. Isolde answered herself. \"Corvane are always tricksters, Seamus, like the caw of crows, the jest of a raven. Their power is as unpredictable and unsettled as they are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gave a dry, humorless smile. \"They also have a terrible sense of humor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t speak in riddles,\" Seamus snapped, folding his arms. \"I don’t have time for games. If another House wants my blood, I need to know how to fight them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re not sure,\" Isolde said simply. \"But at least one of them holds a Dominion Bloodstyle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That answer made Seamus’s eyes narrow. \"Oh? I thought you knew everything. Seems you’re powerless against them too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Powerless?\" Isolde rose from her chair, her presence suddenly oppressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room felt smaller, darker. Seamus had to steady his breath to keep his expression neutral.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s see who you plead for when their knife is at your throat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped closer, voice lowering but no less sharp. \"Don’t mistake their offer for kindness. You’ve seen how they treat Scavengers. That’s how they’ll treat a human like you, a mere cattle to be bled dry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not even your irritating little charm will save you and in the end, you will have nothing in you, not even your little pathetic comeback.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words hung in the room like a blade. Seamus felt his pulse quicken, the urge to lash back rising in his chest, but for once he didn’t have a retort.\u003C\u002Fp>",1029,"2026-06-03T11:48:03.951Z","2026-06-03T11:48:07.607Z",1,"novelbin.me","5dc744340705c42b3af1a8b858aa976a7a16a2ead56fcc3592c3f7cb9b1a9873","my-stepmom-is-a-vampire-her-entire-bloodline-wan-chapter-71","my-stepmom-is-a-vampire-her-entire-bloodline-wan-chapter-69",244,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-stepmom-is-a-vampire-her-entire-bloodline-wan-cover.jpg"]
