lilith's whisper by nyxallign

In the heart of an ordinary college campus, she exists-like a secret whispered by the stars. layla, an enigmatic girl of unearthly beauty, is more myth than mortal. Her presence feels like a spell, her gaze like a riddle, and her name like a melody that lingers too long. They call her the "Whisper of Lilith," a being so dangerously enchanting that even her shadow seems to carry whispers of forbidden allure. lucien , a quiet writer lost in the mundane, stumbles upon her like a sailor drawn to a siren's song. She becomes the axis of his world, and his obsession spills into his words. He writes feverishly about her: the way her laughter dances like candlelight, the way her eyes carry galaxies, and the subtle danger that wraps around her presence like smoke. But the closer he gets, the more layla's mystery deepens. Rumors of her otherworldly nature grow-stories of dreams shattered, lives changed, and darkness cloaked behind her divine beauty. One fateful evening, lucien finds a letter slipped into his journal-a note in handwriting he knows too well but has never seen before. "Stay away, or lose yourself." When he confronts her under the glow of the moon, her answer isn't what he expects. "What if the beauty you crave is the end you fear?" she whispers, her lips curling into a smile both cruel and kind. The air grows cold, and suddenly, Lucie isn't sure if she's human at all. What has he unearthed? And can he survive the truth about the girl who isn't meant to belong to this world?

"What if she goes to the cops, Dad? That bruise on her face is enough to get you arrested and charged with assault." "What? You mean when she tripped over the mess you made in the kitchen?" His smile is so wicked that it chills me to my core. "She ain't going to the cops. Hell, she'll probably be back here tomorrow." "You're a bastard," I whisper, tears filling my eyes. "No wonder Mom left! She probably couldn't bear to spend another second with-" I'm pushed to the floor.

Strange occurrences unravel at her job, her friendships begin to crumble, and her sense of reality slips through her fingers. With secrets lingering like smoke and the line between love and darkness blurring, Layla must decide how deep she's willing to go-or if she'll burn in the embers of someone else's past. As the world around her shifts and deceives, Layla discovers that not all magic is meant to be touched... and some shadows, once stirred, can never be put to rest.
