He shouldn't have remembered.
But when the lights dimmed and the name "Emma Vale" slipped from his lips on stage-
something inside him broke open.
Lucien Hale once ruled the underworld with fire in his veins and love in his heart.
She was calm, his chaos, and his end. Together, they burned the world and died with it.
Now, in another life-
he is a singer drowning in fame and regret.
And she, Elara Winter, is just a girl lost in music and unfinished dreams.
She doesn't remember him... but when she hears that line, that unfinished promise,
her heart whispers what her mind has long forgotten.
Because some souls aren't bound by time-
they're bound by promises.
And this time, he swears,
he'll find her... and keep her.
"I will find you... in the next one."
