The library silence stretches, thick and heavy, until Lucien’s palm slams the table. you flinches, shrinking into herself, her voice trembling as she suggests a topic. Lucien’s eyes burn with predatory intensity, his tone harsh, demanding she stop sounding like prey. But as her fear-scent hits him—sour, sharp—he recoils, realizing his cruelty. He softens, apologizing, noting her sharp intellect. Then, she smiles. Small, tentative. And in that quiet moment, a impossible sound echoes in Lucien’s chest: a heartbeat. One thud. Loud. Alive. The vampire stares, stunned, as the realization crashes over him—she is his. And he will burn the world to keep her.
