Let it burn so fiercely that even the heavens themselves are forced to recognize your existence. Let it burn until there is nothing left to refine—until you have forged yourself into something unbreakable. Let that fire become your strength, your path, your very identity!” Something inside Pavan shifted.

She yearned for him, and her body desperately desired him. Leila had no idea what was happening.
