Luke's eyes opened slowly. He noticed the canopy bed ceiling above him, one that wasn't his.
In an instant, he remembered what had happened just a few hours ago during the night.
'I did it...' Luke thought, raising his fist in triumph.
He had done it with Wednesday for the first time!
He had had sexual intercourse before, though not many, but this was the best night of his life. He couldn’t compare the previous girls to Wednesday.
It was even better than killin...

In front of Luke was a large, fully decorated hall. Dozens of people who had been invited were there. Like the decorations, everyone was dressed in dark-colored suits. Luke was surprised by the size of the hall, which, despite housing dozens of people, didn’t feel crowded.
'Was there such a big room?' Luke thought with slight surprise. He had thought he’d explored quite a bit of the Addams mansion, but he’d never come across this spacious room before.
Noticing the elegant, g...

Gomez's office was at the end of a long, very dark hallway. The door was larger than usual and a deep reddish color.
Luke entered for the first time and observed the room with curiosity. The room was bigger compared to Morticia's, which he and Wednesday had visited during their mission to read Goody Addams' Book of Shadows.
Unlike his wife, Gomez was much more disorganized. His desk was covered in papers scattered everywhere, and books were piled up even in the corners since the s...

“What’s this?” Wednesday asked, noticing a sophisticated, purple bag beside her seat.
Luke, who was driving while keeping his eyes on the road, glanced over and noticed the object Wednesday was referring to.
“Your gift. Did you really think I wouldn’t get you anything for your birthday?” Luke replied, not hiding that he’d bought her something.
“I assumed you’d give me a present for my birthday,” Wednesday said in her usual monotone.
After all, she h...

As Luke advanced step by step, Pugsley backed away without taking his eyes off him, his legs shaking like jelly until he eventually stumbled.
He could see in Luke's gaze a fierce killing intent, eyes that seemed to truly consider whether to kill him or not. Or at least that’s what Pugsley thought, being used to the cold stare of his sister who often tortured him with her looks, though she always had a line she never crossed.
Luke had no intention of killing Pugsley. Doing so wou...

Luke was driving the Audi at a moderate speed back to the Addams mansion. The car was the same one Natasha had used when she followed the Addamses from Nevermore.
The car belonged to Luke. Natasha had bought it with the money he earned from his books. Only a few weeks ago, he had turned 16, which allowed him to get his driver's license.
Although, due to his young age, he needed an adult in the passenger seat with a valid driver’s license until he turned 16 and a half. But Luke d...

Somewhere in the vast city of New York, there was a modest shop. A hand-painted sign hung above the entrance, displaying the name of the place in neat letters: [Visions of the Unknown. Want to know your future? Come in here]
Upon crossing the threshold, a soft jingle of bells welcomed the customer. The walls of the small shop were adorned with elegant, dark tapestries.
On a nearby shelf, old-looking books were stacked side by side. There were also small statues of mythical figures...

Brownsville - 00:45 a.m.
In a dimly lit alley, a scene was unfolding that was all too common in this neighborhood at such a late hour.
"That's not enough money, bitch!" exclaimed a man with a criminal appearance, slapping a woman with long, disheveled hair and a desperate expression.
The woman, frail and barely able to stand, fell to the ground from the force of the blow. With what little strength she had, she crawled and looked up at the man. "Please, it’s all I have!" sh...

"Shall we take it?" Luke asked, eyeing Goody Addams' book with a hint of curiosity. Witchcraft could grant you very useful powers and boost your strength. Like Natasha, who managed to transform her body into metals or weapons—something a natural shapeshifter couldn’t achieve.
Besides, Goody's book had already been tested by her, a powerful psychic of her time, so the chances of the rituals going wrong were very low. There was no need to conduct trial-and-error research, constantly p...

Luke entered Wednesday’s room. The space was similar in size to the other rooms in the mansion, but its tidiness and meticulous order made it stand out.
The four-poster bed dominated the center, built with black wood and carved with intricate details. It had a canopy made of black velvet, which was pulled back to reveal coal-black sheets adorned with white skull embroidery.
The walls were a dark gray shade, and an iron chandelier hung from the ceiling, lit by candles that bathed...

With everything discussed, they both stood up and started heading towards the exit of the underground chamber. They climbed a dimly lit staircase until they reached a metal door.
'I'll be able to practice my blue aura with those criminals,' Luke thought, while Wednesday reached out and grasped the doorknob with her hand.
Gomez had told Luke that he was wasting his blue aura in combat and that he could get more out of it. However, training the blue aura isn't easy. He needs a guine...

“Do you remember what you told me about the thoughts you read from the gorgon, Atlas, before he died?” Wednesday asked, staring at him intently with her dark eyes.
“Yes, that they wanted to steal Crackstone’s demonic book. That’s why they mounted such a large-scale attack and wanted to continue with the ritual,” Luke replied, nodding and also staring back at Wednesday. To an average person, her unwavering gaze might ...

Luke found himself in the center of an underground chamber. It had been just over a week since the beginning of the holidays.
The room was rectangular and nearly dark. In each corner, there was a torch with a faint fire that barely helped to see.
In any case, the lighting in the room was of no use to Luke, as his eyes were covered with a black blindfold.
The walls of the chamber were made of massive stone blocks, each one pierced with a series of small dark holes. It was dif...

A week had passed since summer vacation began, and since Luke had been staying as a guest at the Addams mansion. Unlike his previous vacations, he hadn't left the Addams estate. He adapted to living with the strange and peculiar family faster than he had expected.
He could even tolerate Wednesday's grandmother's foods, which looked like poisonous dishes cooked by a witch in her old, rusty cauldron.
The house was enormous. Although exploring it wasn’t his primary goal, whenever h...

Luke was in his new room, gathered with Natasha and Wednesday. It was already night, the door was closed, and the three of them were looking at a four-legged wooden table where a map was spread out, illuminated by candlelight.
"Between Shadyside and Sunnyvale, there’s a distance of 30 km," Natasha said, pointing to several spots on the map.
"How do you know the evidence is hidden there?" Luke asked, his hand on his chin.
Natasha looked up from the map and glanced at Luke w...

Luke followed Wednesday. They went down the stairs and then entered a dimly lit hallway with only a few faint candles. They turned several times, as if navigating some kind of maze, until they finally emerged into a larger room.
The room was illuminated by numerous candles resting on various old, time-worn furniture. In the center stood a long table covered with a dusty red tablecloth. Above the table, hanging from the ceiling, was a chandelier resembling the one in the entry hall.

Westchester County is a county located north of New York City. It’s known for being one of the wealthiest and most peaceful suburban areas in the region.
'It’s true that the Addams are rich,' thought Luke as he looked at the large, luxurious houses, each with perfectly manicured gardens and entrances that hinted at the opulence inside.
The limousine turned around a bend and entered a private road, surrounded by tall trees. After a few minutes, the image of previous mansions an...

A dark-as-night vehicle was approaching them. It was a very distinctive Gothic limousine—a 1938 Pontiac Silver Streak model, meticulously modified and extended on the sturdy chassis of a classic Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
The limousine stopped a short distance from them. The first to step out was the driver: Lurch, the Addams family butler. He is tall, gangly and grim, looking a bit like Frankenstein's monster. He wore a black-and-gray striped blazer over a matching buttoned vest. Beneath...

"It's strange to see the dorm empty," Xavier commented, zipping up his backpack and slinging it over his shoulder.
"Yeah..." Luke said, sitting on the edge of his bed with a strange look in his eyes.

Luke enjoyed the event with Wednesday, who was in a good mood to chat about various topics. The only annoying thing was having Pugsley’s gaze fixed on him the entire night. The boy smoked his cigar in silence, just watching and murmuring to himself. He was even more surprised to see how his sister chatted with Luke all night.
'Let’s just ignore him,' Luke thought, turning all his attention back to Wednesday. He looked at her elegant black dress.

Luke turned his gaze toward the voice. Gómez Addams had a particular presence: relaxed, almost carefree, but with an overwhelming weight that filled the air. There was something... dangerous about him.

"Luke," someone called him at one point. He looked up and noticed a beautiful blonde girl staring at him with her green eyes.
"Kat Abagnale," Luke said, recognizing the blonde. It was about a previous girl he dated. Though they had only slept together, their relationship never had any real depth.

Next to him was Natasha, chatting with Larissa, who was wearing an elegant white suit with exquisite details.

The secondary gym had been remodeled to serve as the venue for the Rave'N. Since the students' parents would also be attending, a larger space was needed than the hall typically used.
The place had its walls covered with heavy dark gray velvet curtains and was dimly lit. Above, white floating fabrics hung, resembling mist, intertwined with silver skulls and dry branches. In the center of the ceiling, a large disco ball illuminated the dance f...

There were only two weeks left before classes ended. This week, all the students were studying like crazy because next week was final exam week.
After that, the Rave'N, Nevermore's annual dance, would take place. Once the Rave'N ended, the students would head home the next day.
It had been an unusual year for the institution. The Poe Cup wasn't held, nor was Parents' Weekend. This was due to the large-scale attack the school had suffered. Everyone knew,...

Luke was in the infirmary, watching as Natasha devoured one plate of food after another. She had already recovered. She was wearing a patient’s uniform and eating as if possessed by the demon of gluttony. Her wounds had healed, and she only had bandages on her left arm and hand.

“It’s just a small cut. It’s nothing,” Wednesday said dryly, trying to push Luke’s hand away, but in the end, she didn’t. She liked that Luke showed concern for her, which didn’t happen often, b...
