My Vampire Harem Will Dominate Everything

Chapter 299 - 299: The Final Goodbye

Ezra took a moment to get himself ready. He must feel it, believe in it, in order to convince someone else. He couldn't mess this up. This had to be the final night.

After getting himself into the right mental state, Ezra stormed into Helena's apartment, his usually calm demeanor shaken as he entered with an urgency that startled Helena.

She had been sitting on the couch, casually flipping through some reports, when the door burst open, and Ezra appeared in the doorway. She was on her feet in an instant, ready to start fighting before she saw who was standing there.

"Ezra!" Helena rushed to him, her expression flashing between concern and relief as she quickly reached his side. Her hands cupped his face, eyes scanning him for any sign of injury. "Are you okay? My officers reported seeing Solomon and Vladimir at the farmer's market. I was worried."

Ezra placed his hands over hers, giving her a reassuring squeeze. "I'm fine, Helena. I'm okay."

She exhaled, the tension leaving her body for a moment, but her eyes still flickered with worry. That was how good she was. He couldn't tell if it was an act or not. "What's going on? Are they after you or the Necromancer?"

Ezra took a deep breath, glancing around the apartment as if the walls themselves were closing in. He couldn't afford to stay out in the open any longer, and neither could his wives. He had to bring his slush fund with him.

"Helena." He began, his voice soft but urgent, "I came here to tell you that me and my wives... we're disappearing. We're going underground."

Helena blinked in surprise, her hands falling from his face as she took a small step back. "Disappearing? What do you mean?"

Ezra's eyes met hers, projecting a mixture of desperation and determination. "It's not safe for us anymore. Solomon and Vladimir are too close. The only way to stay alive is to vanish, to go into hiding until it's safe to come back. And I need you to come with me."

The silence that followed was thick with… emotion. Helena stared at Ezra, processing what he was saying. He saw her eyes flicker with calculation before it disappeared as if it had never been there. This had to be what she had wanted.

"Are you sure?" Helena's voice trembled slightly, her eyes

"Ezra-" she choked out, her voice strangled with confusion and betrayal.

Ezra didn't flinch. He watched her, his eyes cold.

"You stole from me, Helena. You used the Necromancer to endanger me and my coven. That's an unforgivable crime."

Helena's struggles grew weaker as life drained from her body. Before long, her body went limp in his arms. Ezra held her for a moment longer, making sure the job was done before carefully lowering her to the floor.

He stood over her dead body, staring down at the woman who had made his life harder. He summoned his darkness and shredded the body, leaving only ashes behind.

With the slush fund in hand, Ezra turned away, walking towards the door. It was time to return to his wives. They had plans to make.
