My breath hitched at her words.

Either I die… or he dies.

I drew in a shaky breath, my fingers trembling slightly at my sides. But before I could even process it, Lucien moved again.

His body blurred forward, eyes blazing red as he lunged at me once more, a feral snarl ripping from his throat,

“Die!”

The word echoed through the room.

My heart pounded wildly, but even as fear gripped me, I knew deep down…

That it was impossible.

I couldn’t kill Lucien.

Even if I had the strength to do it… I wouldn’t. I couldn’t bring myself to.

I shook my head, about to tell Drevana that there had to be another way, but before I could even get a word out-

Thud!

A piercing pain exploded through me in violent waves, making everything go cold. My eyes widened, breath caught, and before I could even process it, the force of his kick sent me flying

I crashed hard against the wall, the impact so brutal that my head struck first, darkness pooling at the edges of my vision. Warm blood trickled down my temple, the bitter metallic taste ooding my mouth, but I swallowed it back, forcing my eyes

open.

He was already in front of me.

A cruel, manic laughter spilled from him as he walked closer and closer, taking slow, deliberate steps, his insane red eyes fixed on me like a predator savoring its prey. I wanted to move, to crawl away, to do anything-

But I couldn’t.

“Die! Die! Die! Kill you, kill Lucien. Kill everyone, haha!”

His laughter only grew louder.

He stopped right in front of me, that unnatural grin stretching across his face, and almost immediately, I heard Drevana sigh inside my mind, her voice cold and resolute.

“If you don’t want to do it, then fine… I will.”

And just like that, I felt her surge forward, trying to seize control of my body.

But I stopped her.

I held her back with everything I had.

For a moment, she seemed stunned, shocked that I could resist her at all. Truthfully, I didn’t even know how I was doing it,

but for the first time… I successfully blocked her.

“You-”

She tried to speak, but Lucien was already there.

He leaned forward, his hand clamping tightly around my throat, fingers digging into my skin as he chuckled, clearly delighted by the way I struggled for air. My vision blurred, my chest tightening painfully as he squeezed harder.

Yet… a small smile curved on my lips.

My trembling hands slowly rose to his, not to pull him away… but just to hold him.

I knew Drevana probably thought I was an idiot, a complete fool for not letting her save me. But something told me that deep down, she didn’t want to fight Lucien either. She didn’t want to kill him, she was only willing because there was no other choice.

I could feel her hesitation.

As if she read my thoughts, I heard her draw in a shaky breath, her disbelief visible as she stared at me.

But I forced my eyes to stay on the man before me as he raised his other hand, gripping my throat with both hands now, leaning in so close there was barely any space between us.

His lips stretched wider and wider, his voice breaking into a frenzied chant.

“Die… die… die…”

Air slipped from my lungs in ragged gasps, yet I kept my smile, even as darkness pulled me in

“Lucien…”

I called his name softly.

He didn’t react. He didn’t flinch.

But I still smiled, my fingers weakly curling around his wrists as whispered, my voice barely audible.

“I-it’s okay… everything will be okay. You’re going to be fine…”

The moment those words left my lips, this time something in the air shifted.

Something snapped.

Just when I thought my next breath would be my last, I saw it through the haze-

A flicker.

The red in his eyes trembled, wavering… then shifting to white.

A crack formed in that terrifying smile.

I saw him. The real Lucien.

His grip loosened, just a little, just enough for little air to rush back into my lungs. His eyes squeezed shut, a strained grunt tearing from him as though he were fighting himself, clawing desperately for control over his own mind.

I gasped painfully, dragging in air, and then I heard it-

“Run!”

His voice was hoarse, strained, desperate.

But I didn’t move.

I couldn’t.

Before I could even think, my trembling hands rose and cupped his face, pulling him closer despite everything. Just as his eyes shifted back to red, the killing intent surging once more… I didn’t hesitate.

I kissed him.

My lips pressed softly against his-desperate, trembling, a tear slipping down my cheek.

He froze.

Completely.

Through my half-lidded gaze, I saw his eyes widen, the red vanishing, replaced by white… then slowly returning to Lucien’s normal color.

My eyes fluttered shut as I leaned into him, my hands wrapping around his shoulders as I kissed him, as I felt it, his heart racing wildly against my chest, his breath hitching in shock, in confusion, in something deeper.

Then, almost instinctively, his arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer, as if afraid I would disappear if he let go.
