Chapter 347 Date with Silas (2)
Trying to rationalize his feelings. But hearing it... knowing they shared something so intimate... His chest tightened. It was a lie to say he didn’t feel jealous, that it didn’t bother him.
But he knew better than to act on those emotions. He knew Kyra started loving him in her own way, and he couldn’t afford to ruin what they had by letting his envy consume him. Instead, he focused on the future—on the moment when she would bear his mark, when she would belong to him in a way no one else seperate them.
His fingers gently squeezed hers, and he leaned down to kiss her forehead. "Soon, my love," he whispered under his breath. "Soon, you’ll be mine in every way."
With that quiet promise, he forced himself to relax, though sleep still eluded him as thoughts of Kyra and their future danced through his mind.

The next day, Kyra was ready for her date with Silas, wearing a simple but elegant red knee-length dress. Her hair was tied neatly in braids, framing her glowing face, and a soft smile played on her lips, She was holding the bag that Silas had given her.
As she stood near the door, Lucas came up to her with a pout. "Can’t I come with you?" he mumbled, and the others nodded in agreement, clearly not wanting to be left out.
"Sorry, Luca, but no," Kyra said with a playful smile, leaning down to kiss his forehead. "But don’t worry. We’ll have a picnic in the backyard soon." Her promise seemed to brighten his mood, and Lucas finally smiled.
Before heading out, Kyra hugged Vincent, Oceanus, and Damon in turn, feeling their protective warmth around her. She could sense their love and care, but today was for her and Silas, a rare chance to spend time together alone.
