"But I don't have a habit of leaving my friends behind."
Freya's body was trembling, not just from the pain but also from the overwhelming emotions swirling inside her. As Lukas stood in front of her, his cold, steady voice cutting through the chaos, she could only stare in disbelief.
Friends… with someone like me?
The thought struck her hard. A lowlife like him? Someone who barely held himself together?Does he even know his status?
Many questions swirled in her mind.
Yet, here he was, standing against a monster to save her.
Despite her ego, wanting to crush the boy before her, a tiny part of her heart couldn't help but say.
'But… he saved me.'
Her chest tightened, and her mind spun as she clutched the vial in her hand, chugging it down with a shaky breath. Before she could process anything else, Lukas's scream cut through the air.
"Talia!"
