Chapter 8: Farewell
[Alicia’s POV]
It was a rainy night. I was waiting for Ravin to return from his usual night training, but even after a long time, he didn’t come back—I had a bad feeling, so I went to check on him.
When I arrived, I watched him fight for his life. Blood was dripping from his body, he was breathing heavily with a pained expression on his face, yet he still kept fighting.
Seeing him like that, something broke inside me. It felt like daggers were clawing at my heart. It hurted me to see him wounded. Only then did I realize how much I loved him. At that moment, I hated myself for being so weak.
When he killed the last assassin and leaned on a tree, I ran toward him and fell to my knees, gently placing his head on my lap.
He told me that he was fine, even though I could see how much he was hurting. Seeing him like this made me cry as I told him how scared I was.
It was at that moment that something changed inside me. My heart was filled with love... and something darker, something different than obsession. It was possessiveness.
I told him that we had to get him to a healer, but he told me he’d be fine thanks to his physique.
"Ah, I love you so much. You will always be by my side. You are mine. If you ever get hurt, hehe, I will loc—"
I kept gently stroking his hair with a loving expression, but my head was filled with dangerous thoughts. And I liked them.
Then, Ravin called out to me and asked if I hated him after seeing him kill without hesitation.
