Whispers of the Darkling's ruthless nature had reached her ears, and she wondered if they were true. It couldn't be, could it? "What if it was me? Damian, grow up. She's not even human. How could she be your soulmate? We are Darklings, defined by power," Lucian retorted, his eyes widening as he looked at Sera. With trepidation, she nodded slightly, still fearful of Lucian's gaze. Before he could speak again, Damian unleashed his powers, ending Lucian's life in a macabre spectacle. The room reeked of blood as Lucian collapsed. "D-Damian!" Sera's voice quivered with shock and concern. "You have no idea what else I had in store for you. Be glad," Damian said, meeting Seraphina's eyes.
