Illuminated By You 소설 & 이야기

“Do you want me to turn it off? I don’t mind either way.” Without hesitation, I got up and turned on the night lamp on her bedside table before heading to the main light switch. Then, a warm, golden light filled the room, casting a gentle glow that made everything feel more intimate and serene. The soft illumination highlighted Poppy’s delicate features, making her look even more beautiful as she lay there.

he asks, his tone entirely devoid of malice. ​"Well, well-lit areas help, and Blue's isn't exactly bright inside," I explain, fumbling over the next words before speaking them. "I don't really know what you look like. I've only seen you in areas that are too dark for me to get a clear glimpse. Direct sunlight is the best, but that's not always an option. Lots of lamps and light in rooms help."

The neon lights outside the bar flickered like they always did, casting a hazy glow on the pavement as I made my way to the entrance. I had been looking forward to this all day—a night out with Jake in the same bar where we first met. The place had become kind of "our spot.".

Why had he brought me here? Suddenly, the room came alive with light. Flames leapt to life along the walls, consuming the torches mounted there. The glow of the fire illuminated the space, casting flickering shadows that danced across the stone walls. It was beautiful, in a haunting sort of way. The light was warm, far brighter than I would have expected, bathing the room in a golden hue.

The only light bleeding through the heavy curtains came from the harsh amber glow of the streetlamps and the bright, silver shine of a full moon. Inside the house, however, a completely different, exhausting reality was playing out. The hallway light was left blazing, casting long shadows up the staircase. Soft, sleepy instrumental lullabies hummed quietly through a small cassette player, and sitting slumped in a plush rocking chair in the corner of the nursery was an extremely, thoroughly exhausted Gemma. It was two o'clock in the morning.

Aella I sit up in bed, taking in the morning light that filters through the curtains. It casts a golden glow over the room, softening the edges of furniture and painting a deceptive picture of serenity. I know it’s a lie. It’s as if even the light knows it doesn’t belong here. Just like me.

Unable to resist, I climbed out of my window and began to follow the trail of lights. The farther I went, the energy around me grew stronger, it felt like I had been walking for ages and I wanted to go back to the pack house but before I could change my mind, I saw a bright illuminated light shining so bright and compelling me to come, it almost as if I had no control of my self or body because I walked mindlessly until I stopped by the captivating light. The glowing light gradually transformed into a door, and I instinctively reached for the handle. As I turned it, a sudden darkness engulfed me, and I felt my head spinning until I fell down into a silent, dark abyss.

Fear gripped my heart, but then I heard Aura’s voice in my mind, clear and resolute, **“Use your light.” I focused on the warmth that emanated deep within my core, letting it build and spread until it engulfed me. The dark rogues hesitated, sensing the change, but it was too late for them. I released the light in a blinding, radiant wave. The rogues let out a collective howl of agony as the light consumed them, turning them to ash.

The only source of light was an orb in its front that was emitting a silver glow. "You are finally back, I will get you and that power will become mine."

I could hear the door unlocked, but my eyes remained watching outside. ''Ivy. Baby, are you okay?'' I heard Roman say as I felt his hand touch my shoulder. My eyes met his, and I immediately felt calmer. I could see the exhaustion in his eyes, as his dark circles were more noticeable. ''I am okay. Just trying to adapt to the new environment.'' I say with a soft smile on my face as I place a soft kiss on the corner of his mouth. I pull back, heading to get the bags in his hand, but he pulls me closer by my waist and kisses me on the lips. Making me forget everything and everyone. Being near makes me feel... Like I am alive again.
