Recap
The rooftop battle left scars deeper than flesh. Lilith and Kazuki stood bloodied but unbroken, yet the cracks in their blood oath throbbed like a curse, exposing truths neither dared speak aloud. In the silence after the storm, Kazuki swore he would rather fall with her than stand without her. But shadows coil where vows tremble, and both the hunter and the ex-husband watch with patient hunger. The night is not done with them—and desire can bind as cruelly as chains.
Main Story
The storm had not passed. It had only grown quiet—too quiet.
Lilith sat on the crumbling edge of the rooftop, her gaze fixed on the dark horizon. She looked like a queen carved from fire and sorrow, the moonlight turning her black hair into a crown of shadows. The cracks from the blood oath still glimmered faintly along her arms, pulsing in rhythm with her heartbeat.
