I release a shaky breath and step closer to him, trying to make him understand. “Roman, please. I need you to understand me right now. Being with } and Kai at the apartment is the best option for my safety. My room was targeted. And also, Kara’s apartment is wide enough that Amara and Isolde c have a room to stay there with us. Because I’m definitely not about to leave my friends here alone after what happened tonight.”
“It doesn’t matter, Lyra! I can find a bigger apartment for a of you. You don’t have to go to him.”Roman says, waving his hand defensively.
“Yes, it does matter, Roman,” I say, my voice turning firm as I look straight into his eyes. I reach out and lightly touch his hand. “Please, just understa me. Aren’t you supposed to be my friend? Aren’t you supposed to support me when I’m terrified? Why does it feel like you’re just in a competition wit
cousin?”
Roman stares at me for a long moment, his chest rising and falling rapidly. Finally, he lets out a long, defeated sigh, all the fight draining out of his b He looks down at our hands. “Okay. If you truly feel that way… fine.”
I smile softly, feeling a massive weight lift off my chest. “Thank you, Roman. Thank you for understanding.”
Roman doesn’t smile back. Instead, his eyes darken with a sudden, desperate intensity as he steps back into my personal space. “Can I get a kiss, Lyra?” one kiss before you leave with him.”
I pull my hand back, staring at him in utter disbelief. “Are you serious right now, Roman? My bedroom was literally just broken into, I am still deeply traumatized and shaken by the horrible message I was sent on my own bed, and you’re thinking about a kiss??”
Roman’s expression hardens instantly, a flash of bitterness crossing his face. “If you actually cared about me even litle bit, Lyra, you would do it just s can feel some kind of joy or security tonight! But you don’t care about me at all, do you? Earlier at the arena, you brally averted your face at the last second and made me kiss your cheek like I’m some kind of stranger. You don’t want me in your life anymore, is that it? You’re just pushing me away.”

Suddenly, Roman snaps.
Before I can even blink, he reaches out his large hands and grabs my waist with incredible, crushing fore as he yanks my body roughly against his chest, locking me in a tight grip. I let out a sharp, gasp as his fingers squeeze my skin painfully.
“What the hell are you doing?!” 1 yell, trying to push his hard chest away from me. “Roman, let go of me right now!”
“I can’t chill out, Lyra!” Roman yells at me, eyes wild and completely desperate as he tightens his grip, his face, coming down to kiss me. I try to shift my face but he holds my head so my mouth is close to his. “I can’t chill out because I am completely in love with you! Can’t you see that? I’ve always been in
love with you!”
Before his lips can touch mine, the bedroom door suddenly barges open.

Kai-hats over him, his fists clenched and dripping with blood, his eyes glowing red with fury. He raises his fist to strike him again.
“Kai, no!” I scream out loud, throwing myself forward and grabbing his back, wrapping my arms around his waist to pull him away. “Stop it! Please, just
