Chapter 10 - The Weight of Truth:

Seeing his parents' anger, Ayaan finally lost control.

His eyes slowly turned blood red…

his face grew pale…

and his fangs began to extend, sharp and deadly.

His rage was so intense that even the locket and ring couldn't control him anymore.

Seeing his terrifying state, even his parents stepped back in fear.

Mom: Ayaan, calm down, beta… we are not your enemies.

There is a very big reason behind our refusal.

Ayaan (furious): Then tell me everything… right now.

His mother took a deep breath… as if a truth buried for years was finally about to surface.

Mom: Alright… then listen.

Her voice trembled slightly.

Mom: Five years ago, your elder brother,

Arnav… he wasn't just part of our family—he was the most powerful vampire of our entire lineage.

Ayaan's expression slowly shifted from anger to unease.

Mom: He was even more handsome than you… and no one could match his powers.

He had killed countless werewolves on his own… and the ones who survived fled this place out of fear.

Ayaan's heartbeat grew heavier.

Ayaan: Mom… if he was so powerful… then how did he die?

You've hidden this from me all these years… but now please, tell me the truth.

Tears filled his mother's eyes.

Mom (crying): Because he made the same mistake you are making… he fell in love with a human girl.

She paused, her voice breaking.

Mom: You know what happens when a vampire gets too close to a human… when that bond deepens… the vampire loses all his powers and becomes completely human.

Ayaan stood frozen.

His breathing grew faster.

Mom: Vampires are immortal… but once they bind themselves to a human… they become just like them. Weak. Mortal.

Vulnerable to even the smallest illness… or a simple accident.

Silence filled the room.

Mom: Arnav got so close to that girl… that he lost all his powers.

He became just an ordinary human.

Her voice cracked.

Mom: And then… he died in a small road accident.

The room fell into deep silence.

After a moment, Ayaan spoke slowly—

Ayaan: Who was responsible… for his

death?

His father looked at him, his eyes filled with both anger and pain.

Dad: The man driving the car that caused Arnav's accident…

He paused.

Dad: …was Alina's father.

The moment Ayaan heard this…

it felt like his world shattered.

Alina's face… and his brother's death…

collided in his mind all at once.

Mom: Now tell us, Ayaan…

Her voice was heavy.

Mom: Even after knowing all this… do you still want to marry that girl?

Ayaan stood there in silence.

No answers.

No clarity.

On one side… was his love.

On the other… the truth behind his brother's death.

What would Ayaan do now…?

Would he walk away from Alina forever…?

Or…

after learning the truth…

would he choose revenge instead of love?

Ayaan's life had reached a point…

from where there might be no turning back.

What do you think will happen next?
