Trials of Fire & Love

Her green eyes were looking at him pleadingly, wrenching his heart. Lucas was unable to look away from her earnestness but he could not make such a promise to her.

"Please promise me that you won't kill again," she whispered, her voice cracking. She still could not forget the sight of his tortured face when he was killing Aidan.

"Then let's run away!" Lillian begged. "Far away. Somewhere safe so that they can't find us!"
