Scarlett (Second Edition)
Lucian’s POV
Leaving Scarlett behind weighed heavily on my heart. It hurt, really hurt, but we didn’t see the need to bring her along to see Elsa, our seer. As we journeyed to Leafwall, the settlement where Elsa lived, my mind was filled with thoughts of Scarlett. Every step we took, every breath, seemed to remind me of her—the warmth we shared, the unspoken promises between us. Even though we hadn’t taken things all the way, what we’d shared felt complete, fulfilling in ways I hadn’t expected. The pleasure had been raw, different, something that lingered in my veins, and I questioned why I’d ever denied myself that happiness before.
