LyraI staggered backward as he stepped closer, my body trembling so hard I could barely keep myself upright. My heart wasn’t just racing, it was hammering so violently inside my chest that it felt like it might claw its way out through my throat.He had shifted into Nick’s face deliberately. But for what? To torment me? To make me weak? Or… to drink my blood?“What are you doing?” My voice cracked, raw with fear as I stumbled against the cold wall behind me. “Step back. Don’t come closer. I swear I’ll call the police!” I screamed, the words spilling out of me, desperate.He chuckled, a low, humorless sound that slithered into my ears like poison. “You’re really a funny one,” he sneered, tilting his head slightly as he advanced another step. His grin widened, showing teeth that seemed sharper than before. “Call the police? How? I took you away from there. Do you think they have powers greater than mine?” His eyes glinted with something inhuman, something that made the air around me

Lyra“Hands up now!” the officer bellowed, his voice sharp and commanding, slicing through the chaos.My arms shot up before I could think. My breath trembled out of me, chest rising and falling as if the air itself had turned heavy. The metallic click of guns being cocked echoed around me like thunder in a storm.“Get down!” another officer barked, his tone even harsher, and my knees buckled. I dropped to the ground, my palms pressed against the cold floor as they rushed toward me. The air reeked of sweat, leather, and gunpowder.In a blur of movement, cold metal bit into my wrists, handcuffs. My shoulders wrenched painfully back. I winced but kept silent, fear sitting like a rock in my throat.Nick’s voice exploded across the air. “How dare you touch my woman!”I lifted my head just in time to see him shove forward, his face twisted with fury, his eyes blazing like fire. His fists clenched, muscles coiled, ready to strike against the swarm of officers.“There are too many!” I scream

Lyra“I’m Jasper.” His voice carried a strange confidence as he winked at me. Then, almost casually, he shifted his gaze away, striding toward Mirae. The men who had been holding her, the ones with claws and eyes that didn’t look human, scattered the moment he approached. Their retreat was so quick, it was like his presence alone forced them back. Whoever Jasper was, they clearly feared him.“Thanks so much,” Mirae breathed out, her voice full of awe. Her wide eyes followed him like he was some kind of hero. The way she looked at him, cheeks flushed, lips parted slightly, made it obvious. She was drawn to him instantly.But I wasn’t Mirae.I was still frozen, my pulse pounding in my ears, staring at him because something about him unsettled me in a way I couldn’t explain. He knew my name. That thought made my skin crawl.My throat tightened as I forced the words out. “How do you know my name?”Jasper’s lips curved into a small, mischievous smile. He bit down on his lower lip, watching

Lyra“You like him already?” My eyes narrowed into slits, cutting into Mirae like sharp blades.Her lips curled into a half-smirk, half-shrug, like she didn’t care what I thought. “What if I do?” I scoffed, leaning forward, my glare never breaking away from hers. “Don’t you think it’s too early? You don’t even know this guy. You just met him.” My words shot out like bullets.Mirae’s expression shifted instantly. Her wide eyes burned back at me, trembling with something between anger and hurt. Her chest rose and fell sharply as if she couldn’t believe I had said that. “What about you?” she fired back, her voice cracking but strong. “You just met him also, but you’re already claiming to be seeing him!”The room went dead silent. Her words slapped me across the face harder than she ever could. My jaw clenched, and I could feel my throat tighten. She wasn’t wrong.I swallowed hard, trying to steady my voice, but when I finally spoke, it came out softer, almost defeated. “It’s not like I

Lyra“Damian? Who’s Damian?” Mirae’s voice cracked as she stepped closer, her steps heavy, like her body was fighting against her will to move. Her eyes locked on the lifeless body on the floor. The moment she caught a clearer glimpse, her knees gave way.“Mirae!” I gasped, catching her before her body hit the ground. Her head fell against my chest.“She doesn’t know?” Jasper asked quietly, his eyes wide. He looked as though he had just realized he had committed some unforgivable sin.“She knows…” I snapped, my voice sharp, almost defensive. “But not all the details. So be careful around her.” I laid Mirae gently onto the couch, brushing her hair from her damp forehead.Before I could say another word, the body disappeared. Just like that. One blink and it was gone. My breath caught in my throat, and my chest tightened. I wasn't really shocked cause I had seen things even worse than this.“What—what did you just say again?” I turned sharply to Jasper, my pulse racing.“I said,” Jasper
