Chapter 26: Marry Me
Ephyra snorted. "It’s not entirely impossible." Ever since she transmigrated, anything was possible for her. "And please don’t call me by my full name like that. It sounds weird."
Lyle didn’t respond, his violet eyes gleaming with an unsettling stir as he stared at her. A stir that deepened when Eira didn’t waver under his gaze, instead meeting him with defiance and anger.
"I not only heal fast; my strength, speed, and intelligence are beyond what most can comprehend. But no," Lyle said with a smirk, "I’m not a demon or a werewolf, Ephyra." His tone was mocking, but there was a chilling edge to it. "I’m simply... different."
Eira crossed her arms, unimpressed. "Different how?"
Lyle’s smile widened as he leaned back in his chair, his posture relaxed, yet his presence suffocating. "That’s something you don’t need to know."
Liam cleared his throat, interjecting before the tension escalated further. "Lyle’s condition is a result of a combination of his ASPD and his body’s reaction to certain treatments we’ve administered over the years. His healing ability, enhanced strength, and other... anomalies, are all part of a much larger picture."
Eira’s brow furrowed. "Let’s say I believe you. What kind of treatments are you talking about?"
"Experimental," Liam admitted. "We’ve pushed the boundaries of medicine and biology, but there are consequences, some of which you’ve already witnessed."
"Consequences?" Eira repeated, her voice sharp. "Like him losing his mind and dragging me into all this shit?"
