As I lay there in her arms, trying to catch my breath through the pain, I realized that this mission—this journey we had embarked on—wasn’t just about leveling up or gaining more power. It was about survival. My survival. I didn’t know if I could survive this twisted version of Elesis, who was no longer just my partner, but something far more sinister.

I had to get away.

The sound of her breathing was steady, too steady, like she was savoring every moment of my vulnerability. Her dark aura pulsed with every breath she took, a constant reminder that I wasn’t dealing with just a person anymore. This was something else, something I didn’t understand.

And yet, as much as I feared the change in her, I couldn’t deny that a part of me still loved her. I loved her more than I ever thought possible, and that made everything so much harder. How could I walk away from someone I had grown up with, someone who had shared my dreams and my fears? But how could I stay with someone who would destroy anyone who stood in her way, who saw me not as a partner but as a possession?

“What if I don’t want to be with you like this?” I asked, my voice barely a whisper.

Her eyes flared with an emotion I couldn’t describe. Her smile twisted into something darker, and she leaned in close, her lips brushing against my ear as she whispered, “You don’t have a choice, Zach. You never did. You were always mine. And now… now I’ll make sure no one forgets it.”

Her words sent a cold shiver down my spine, and I realized I had underestimated her. I had never seen this side of her, never even imagined it. And yet, here I was—trapped, unable to escape the grip she had on me, both physically and emotionally.
