~Damon's POV
When Lisa turned to Rowan and Kael, her eyes burning with something I couldn't even name, I felt the air shift.
The whole room went silent, heavy, cold, like even the walls were scared to breathe.
Rowan and Kael stood there, both pale and unsure. I could see guilt written all over their faces. They looked at her the way a sinner looks at his god, hoping for mercy, knowing they didn't deserve it.
"Enough," she said firmly. "You both made your choice. You rejected me when I needed you most. So now…" she took a step forward, her eyes glowing faintly, "I reject you."
My heart stopped.
The moment those words left her lips, I felt something I couldn't explain, a surge of raw energy that rippled through the air like lightning.
Then she turned and walked away.
I froze.
For a moment, I couldn't even breathe.
Lisa's voice echoed in my head like a curse I couldn't escape.
"I reject you both… just like you rejected me."
