Lucian's Undoing
But even as they kissed, the glyphs crackled harder—one on Elias’s neck sparking open like a wound.
Lucian broke the kiss, panting. “You’re unstable.”
“I know,” Elias whispered.
Lucian’s hand trembled against his cheek. “You’re burning.”
“I always was.”
Lucian kissed him again—softer this time, like he was trying to hold a breaking star.
But Elias pulled back, eyes flashing.
“Nihareth is still alive,” he said. “You know that, don’t you?”
Lucian nodded. “And he won’t stop.”
“He wants my power. My ruin. He’ll try to use everything I remember—every grief, every ghost—to do it.”
