Aiden reacted to his words. He loosened his hold on Lucien, but he did not let go. He turned Lucien around so he will face him.
There is no change in Aiden's face. It was still the same. The sharp look in his eyes, the intensity of his gaze that seemed to dig right through Lucien's soul.
Lucien wanted to say one thousand words to him, but he cannot figure out why his mind is blank. Aiden seemed to know he cannot say anything.
Lucien's emotions were unsteady. Aiden knew this so he pulled him to his embrace again, affectionately kissing his hair.
"Let's take them out of here. It's not safe."
Aiden pulled him to his feet. But the strength in Lucien's legs did not come back yet. He can barely stand on his feet. When Aiden helped him up, his legs did not hold up his weight. Luckily, Aiden was able to catch him in time.
"Are you hurt?"
"No," Lucien shake his head.
