“Ben, don’t you dare move!” Nick’s voice thundered through the room.

Ben froze mid-step, his body stiff, his eyes darting between Nick and me like a man standing between two loaded guns. His hands hovered in the air, unsure of where to go, unsure of who to obey.

My heart was still pounding from the last confrontation. My chest burned. My throat felt tight.

“I said grab my waist and take me out of here now, Ben,” I snapped, lifting my chin. For a second, I thought he might actually do it.

Then everything happened at once. Nick crossed the room in three furious strides.

Before I could react, his arms wrapped around my waist and lifted me clean off the floor. My breath hitched.

I didn’t know whether to laugh, scream, or melt into him. He carried me and I liked it…

My arms instinctively wrapped around his neck as my body pressed against his chest. His jaw was clenched so tight I could see the muscle twitching beneath his skin. His eyes were dark, blazing with something wild and dange

    Lyra“How could you say that, Nick? How?!” My voice cracked through the room like glass shattering. I didn’t recognize the sound of it myself. It was sharp, loud, full of something ugly and burning that had crawled up my chest and exploded out of my mouth.Nick’s head snapped toward me. His eyes flashed, dark and stormy, the same way they always did when he was trying to keep control and failing.“Ben,” he said tightly, without looking away from me. “Please take her away for now.”The words hit me harder than any slap.Ben hesitated. I saw it. He shifted on his feet, unsure, glancing between Nick and me like a man caught between two fires. Then he started walking toward me, one cautious step at a time, his hand lifting like he meant to touch my arm.I shot him a glare so sharp it could cut steel.He froze.“So this is how you want it to be, huh?” I screamed, my laugh wild and bitter. “This is what you’ve decided?”“Ben,” Nick barked. “Are you deaf? I said take her away. Now.”Ben swal

    Lyra"Paaarrrrrrr...."A loud sound tore through the building.A loud crash, like something heavy, had slammed into metal.The floor vibrated beneath my feet. Nick stiffened beside me.For half a second, everything froze.Then Ben came running.He burst through the door like the hallway was on fire, breathing hard, eyes wide, panic written all over his face.“Rixa is unconscious.”The words hit me like cold water.My chest tightened. My heartbeat stuttered.“What?” Nick said at the same time I did.“There was a loud noise,” Ben continued, gripping the doorframe like his legs might give out. “We heard a crash from the east wing. When we got there, she was on the floor. Not moving.”Nick was already moving.He released me instantly.The warmth of his hand vanished from mine so fast it felt like I’d imagined it. One second he was standing in front of me, breathing unevenly, his eyes still heavy from the blood he’d coughed earlier…The next, he was walking past me. Straight toward Ben, stra

    Lyra“What do you mean by that?”Nick's voice came out sharper, slicing through the quiet room like a blade. I had barely finished saying we needed to go after Damian when my chest tightened, my heart slamming so hard it made my ears ring.“You want to fight Damian?” Nick stared at me like he’d just told him the sky had fallen. “You know him. You know what he’s capable of. There’s no way I’m letting you fight him. No way.”Nick turned toward me fully, his jaw tightening. His eyes were dark, unreadable, but I could see the tension coiled beneath his calm.“What are you saying to me?” I demanded. “This is insane.”He took a step closer. “Lyra, listen—”“No.” I shook my head, stepping back. “This is to our advantage. I’m not human anymore, Nick. And that is Damian’s fault.” My hands lifted, trembling as I stared at my palms like they belonged to someone else. “I think I have powers now. Real ones. I can help you fight him. I can help you get back at him for everything he’s done to us.”N

    Lyra“Nick…” The word barely made it past my lips.“There’s no way this is possible,” I whispered, my voice breaking into uneven fragments. “How on earth… what’s happening to me…?”My chest rose and fell too fast, my heart slamming against my ribs like it was trying to escape my body.Nick moved before I even realized it. He crossed the space between us in two strides, his boots scraping lightly against the floor.“It’s happening already,” he said, his voice low but urgent. His eyes searched my face like he was afraid I might shatter in front of him. “It’s real, Lyra. You’re not human anymore."Something inside me snapped. “Shut up!” I screamed, the words tearing out of my throat. “It can’t be! It can’t be!”My hands fisted in his shirt, gripping the fabric so hard my knuckles burned. I shoved him once, twice, my vision blurring.“What have you done to me?” I yelled, my voice cracking into something raw and ugly. “What the hell did you do to me? What!?”For a split second, I expected

    Lyra“I love you…” I whispered, my hands still cradling his face, my thumbs resting along his jaw like they belonged there.The words felt fragile and powerful at the same time. Nick's hands came up slowly, hesitantly, as if he was afraid I might disappear if he touched me too fast. His fingers brushed my wrists, then slid upward, warm and unsteady, cupping my hands against his face, His eyes were dark, a little lost.Then he leaned in and our lips met again, softer this time, slower. Not desperate like before, this was careful. As if we were both afraid the moment might break if we moved too quickly.I sighed into the kiss without realizing it.His mouth tasted familiar, like something my body remembered even when my mind didn’t fully catch up. His lips moved gently against mine, and when his tongue brushed my lower lip, a shiver ran through me.I responded instinctively.Our tongues met, slow at first, then deeper, warmer. My fingers tightened against his face, my heart pounding s
