Chapter 7 - The Nocturne Family He let out a breath, forcing himself to relax. He knew that thinking about this now would not give him the answers he wanted. So he put all the questions in the back of his mind and just decided to enjoy the day, and also prepare for his awakening which would decide if he would be a superpower user or not. If someone had asked him if he was nervous about his awakening, then he would have said yes. But after the recent events of his bloodline awakening, he knew that he would have a superpower, and if not, then he would just use the abilities that were part of his bloodline to substitute as his superpower. As he ate his breakfast, his mind wandered through the memories of growing up in this family. He hadn't always been part of this family. His earliest memories were of the orphanage—cold beds, routine schedules, and the ever-present uncertainty of whether he would ever have a place to belong. Then, one day, everything changed. Lilith had come into his life like a force of nature, adopting him without hesitation. At first, he didn't understand why. But as he grew, he didn't care as about any of these as he got to know them as he grew and learned how kind, loving, and caring they are. They became his new family, his home, his whole world. They taught him how to live, how to love, how to dream. However, as he grew, he got to know who these four ladies are and how powerful they are. Lilith is the matriarch of the Nocturne Clan and was a celebrity in the entertainment industry. But his stepmother, Lilith Nocturne, wasn't just any celebrity—she was the celebrity. One of the most famous actresses in the world, a global superstar whose face was everywhere. From movies, commercials, and music, there wasn't a soul on the planet who didn't know her name. But what truly made her legendary wasn't just her beauty or talent—it was her superpower. Her abilities weren't just flashy; they were terrifying. She had once single-handedly wiped out an entire cult HQ, forcing its members into mass suicide using nothing but her power. That feat alone had solidified her status as one of the most dangerous individuals in the world. It was also the reason why she was given an honorary vice president position in the Superpower Association, an organization that governed and regulated superpower users worldwide. She wasn't officially part of the government, but her influence reached that level and beyond. No one dared to challenge her. And yet, here she was, drinking tea casually at the table, acting like a normal doting mother. Then there was Seraphina Nocturne, his eldest sister. If Lilith ruled the entertainment industry, Seraphina ruled the corporate world. As one of the most successful CEOs in existence, her company had its hands in everything—technology, healthcare, transportation, and even the food industry. From the moment someone woke up to the moment they slept, they were using or consuming something from her company. That kind of reach made her more powerful than some world leaders. Despite her cold and calculating personality, she had always been soft when it came to him. She rarely showed emotions to the public, maintaining an air of absolute professionalism, but Ethan knew better. He had seen her smile, had seen her laugh, and those moments were rare enough that they always stayed in his mind. Next was Liliana Nocturne, the second sister, a military commander with one of the strongest legions of superpower users under her command. She had fought against superpower cults, terrorist organizations, and rogue ability users, yet despite the dangerous battlefield she thrived in, her forces had the lowest loss rate in the entire military. Her strategy, leadership, and sheer power had earned her respect across all ranks. Even sitting at the breakfast table, she carried herself like a soldier—back straight, movements controlled, gaze always sharp. But there was warmth there, too, something that softened whenever she looked at him. Then, there was Isabella Nocturne, the youngest of the three sisters and the most dangerous in a different way. Unlike the others, she wasn't known to the general public. But in the underworld? She was feared. She was an underground boss, someone who controlled hidden networks, black markets, and private forces that handled the kind of business that her mother and sisters couldn't do publicly. There wasn't a crime ring, an arms dealer, or a hidden faction that didn't know her name. If something illegal needed to be done, if a problem needed to disappear without a trace, she had the power to make it happen. And yet, here she was, happily eating breakfast while swinging her feet under the table like a carefree girl. Finally, there was him—Ethan Nocturne. Unlike the rest of his family, he didn't have a grand reputation. He didn't have a massive company, a terrifying military record, or an underground empire. But that didn't mean he was nobody. Despite avoiding the public eye, his name was still known in certain circles. He was famous for one thing—being the top scorer in both literary and superpower knowledge exams. He wasn't just smart; he was the smartest among his generation. If not for his family's influence in keeping him out of the spotlight, the media would have already turned him into an icon. But his reputation wasn't why people envied him. No, it was his family. To the world, he was the luckiest guy alive. The only male in a household filled with powerful, stunningly beautiful women. There were forums, fan clubs, and entire online communities dedicated to joking about wanting to trade lives with him. But reality wasn't so simple. Because of his mother and sisters, he had been trained since childhood to handle himself. Self-defense, firearm training, escape tactics—they made sure he knew how to protect himself. He might not have been known for combat, but he wasn't helpless either.
