♥ Chapter 52 ♥
Aurelia Dusk.
'' Wow, what a hard life, Aurelia. '' Trix commented, but I knew she understood better than anyone the responsibilities we carry.
'' I wanted to be the perfect daughter for my family, to make my parents proud. '' I took another sip of my beer, feeling a lump form in my throat at the mention of my parents. '' But after any falter, I realized how they really are. None of them came to see me here, just my damn brother.
''What are you going to do when you get out of here? ''Hina asked, her voice bringing an unexpected seriousness to the relaxed atmosphere.
Lucian stopped stroking my hair with that question, and his gaze met mine, making me feel a whirlwind of emotions that I didn't know how to handle.
I haven't even thought about it, when and if I get out of here, since I didn't kill Lucian.
'' Starting all over again, studying and trying to find a job to get out of my parents' house, if they'll take me back, of course. '' They nodded, showing understanding. ''But I'm sure that will take a while, so let's try to relax a bit. ''I smiled, trying to maintain an optimistic tone.
''Yeah, our pity is too great,'' Dina commented, reflecting the weight of the situation.
''A toast to our misfortune. ''I proposed, and we all toasted, but there was a silence filled with resignation in the air.
Lucian remained silent, resuming the gesture of stroking my hair.
I don't want to leave Lucian. The fear that the day will come when one of us has to leave haunts me, and the idea terrifies me more than I'd like to admit. The mere possibility of losing this connection-this comfort and security that he provides me-makes me feel an unbearable emptiness. The thought of waking up without him by my side, of not hearing his voice or feeling his touch, is something that destroys me inside. I can't imagine my life without him, and the uncertainty of the future paralyzes me with terror.

I feel like my head is about to explode, and everything around me seems to spin in a blur.
'' No more drink for you, darling. '' He gently took the beer from my hand, his worried eyes meeting mine.
'' Nooooo! Give it back, Lucian! "I protested, but he just smiled, a mixture of amusement and care in his eyes.
''No, you're too drunk. I'm sure you'll wake up tomorrow with a huge hangover. '' He said tenderly, trying to calm me down. ''Don't do that.
I want to drink! '' I insisted, but his firmness was unwavering.
''If you get the name Tchaikovsky right, I'll let you drink again.
'' Easy...Tsachasikovsky. Give it back! '' He laughed out loud but made an effort to contain his laughter, his eyes twinkling with amusement.
'' I don't want it anymore! '' I declared, crossing my arms with determination.
My friends were all out in the stands, a scene that made me laugh a little despite my drunkenness.
''Come on, I'll take you to our cell. '' He lifted me with ease, his strong muscles holding me securely.
'' Wow... What strong arms! ''I slipped my arm around his neck, enjoying the comforting warmth of his touch. ''My wolf. '' I kissed his neck gently, feeling his soft skin against my lips.
''You're a fucking temptress, God damn it! ''He murmured in a husky voice, tinged with desire.
"Fuck me! "I giggled cheekily, licking his neck provocatively.
''That would be wonderful, but I'm not going to have sex with you drunk.
'' Hum, gentleman. '' I kissed his cheek, amused by his reaction.
''Only with you. ''He replied softly, his arms wrapping around me tenderly as we climbed the iron stairs towards our cell. I buried my face in his neck, inhaling his comforting scent.
''You smell so good. ''I murmured against his skin, planting soft kisses on his neck. ''Very delicious.
'' Yours is incredible too. '' He replied, his voice conveying a comforting serenity.
I closed my eyes, feeling too exhausted to stay awake.
''I'm sleepy,'' I confessed, still keeping my eyes closed.
''Then sleep; we're almost in our cell. '' He murmured, continuing to carry me carefully.
''You'll take care of me,'' I asked, my tone revealing my trust in him.
'' Always. '' He replied firmly, his voice conveying a reassuring comfort. His words were like a balm, warming my heart and dispelling any trace of doubt.
A smile formed on my lips-a mixture of relief and gratitude.
''I trust you, love,'' I murmured, feeling the depth of my affection for him.
He held me tighter against him, and I could feel the steady beat of his heart, a silent music that lulled my tiredness.
Within moments, sleep enveloped me, welcoming me into his arms as I drifted off to sleep. His presence was a safe haven, protecting me from my fears and uncertainties. The warmth of his body and the tranquility of his breathing were all I needed to finally find peace. The last thing I felt was the tenderness of his soft kiss on my forehead, sealing the promise that he would always be there for me.
