After settling Aria and her mates, Lucien took advantage of the quiet, scooping Emma into his arms and carrying her straight into his room.

The once–simple bedroom had changed beyond recognition.

Where the simple bed once stood, a vast and sacred nest now took its place.

It was woven from countless fiery–red feathers, each one layered with precision and care. A few unfamiliar, glowing gemstones were inlaid along the rim of the nest, casting soft halos of light that made the whole structure shimmer with warmth and divinity.

The air carried a clear, cool fragrance, the same scent that always clung to Lucien.

Holding her close, he walked toward the nest step by step. His lashes lowered, casting faint shadows across his face; his voice was low, rough, and gentle all at once.

“Emma,” he murmured hoarsely, “stay in my nest tonight, alright?”

Emma nodded earnestly. She met his gaze, lips parting slightly. “Alright.”

The instant the word left her lips, Lucien lowered her carefully into the soft nest.

Behind him, his wings flared open with a sharp whoosh.

Crimson flame patterns spread from the roots of his feathers, igniting the entire span of his wings. In moments, each plume blazed with liquid light, brilliant as the most dazzling sunset.

The heat rolled through the room, fierce yet perfectly restrained, warm without the faintest sting.

The chamber glowed beneath the radiance of those magnificent wings.

Emma lay amid the downy feathers, staring up at him in a daze,

Lucien’s wings shifted slightly, trailing sparks of fire and gold through the air.

Each movement scattered light like drifting embers.

His hair lifted in the glow. His scarlet eyes fixed on her, steady, deep, and filled with tenderness.

Emma was transfixed.

It felt as though she were watching a hatchling break from its shell, its awkward wings learning to move, then soaring freely across the heavens.

Suddenly, his figure loomed above her once more.

His flaming wings folded inward, enclosing the nest and her within their sheltering arc.

He leaned closer, his breath hot against her ear, the warmth of it drawing a delicate tremor down her spine.

“Emma,” his voice grew even rougher, lower, “your eyes… they hold fire. My fire.”

The heat between them thickened. Emma could see the quiver of his lashes, the faint shadow they cast beneath the haloed light.

She closed her eyes instinctively–yet the kiss she waited for never came.

Instead, something warm brushed her forehead. It was a soft, fleeting touch.

Lucien had rested his brow gently against hers.

Their breaths mingled, close enough to feel, close enough to share.

Emma’s heart fluttered wildly; the sensation was more shattering than any kiss.

His hand lifted, fingers tracing along her collarbone through the thin fabric of her clothes.

His fingertips, roughened by calluses, left a trail of tingling heat wherever they passed, sparks flaring outward to every corner of her body.

His gaze, dark and burning, pinned her in place, as if he meant to see straight through to her soul.

“Emma…” Lucien’s voice dropped to a husky whisper, threaded with warmth and teasing. “Your heartbeat… it’s unsteady.”

That line–hadn’t I said it once before, when I teased him about his hidden savings?

Meeting those smoldering, bright eyes, Emma understood at once,

He is doing this on purpose.

Her arms rose swiftly, looping around his neck, and she bit his earlobe hard.

“My heartbeat’s a mess because of you,” she murmured, voice trembling with laughter and
