Kira's pov
The city pulses around me like a living, breathing thing,neon lights flickering on wet concrete, casting long shadows that slither with every passing car. I move through the streets like a ghost, my hood up, boots silent on the rain-slick pavement. I'm tailing her.
Eira.
She walks like she owns peace. Like she hasn't left wreckage in her wake.
I stay just far enough behind to remain unseen, yet close enough to count every breath she takes. The estate gates loom ahead, massive and cold. She's unaware, her gaze fixed ahead, her pace steady. Probably thinking about him.
Draven.
I clench my jaw. A pulse throbs in my temple, not from the cold, but from the memory,of everything we lost when she came crashing into our world like a goddamn hurricane with soft eyes and silk-wrapped secrets.
