Luna. The title she should have held in life, not just in death.
"Aria..." Her name caught in his throat, tears falling before he could form another
word. Every memory of her smile, her laugh, the way she'd dance around their kitchen on Sunday mornings-all of it crashed over him in waves of regret so powerful they physically hurt.
He remained kneeling long after everyone had gone, the rain soaking through his
expensive suit, his body shivering violently though he felt nothing.
That night, having refused to leave her graveside until physically carried away by
his guards, Lucas collapsed with a dangerous fever.
In his delirium, Aria came to him.
The nightmare replayed that fateful night, but with one crucial difference-this time,
he hadn't left
her behind. In this version, he had recognized the danger, had grabbed her hand
and pulled the blindfold from her eyes.
"Run!" he shouted, gripping her fingers so tightly he feared he might hurt her, but
unable to loosen
his hold. "The whole place is going to blow!"
The heat was suffocating, smoke burning their lungs as they navigated through
hallways. Each step felt like salvation-he was saving her this time. He wouldn't fail

"Please!" he begged, terror making his voice crack. "We have to go NOW!"
Instead of responding, Aria looked at him with such profound sadness that his heart constricted.
Slowly, deliberately, she peeled his fingers from her wrist, one by one.
"You can't save me, Lucas," she said softly. "You're the one who killed me."
With those words hanging between them, she turned and walked deliberately
back into the heart of
the inferno.

"ARIA, NO!"
A blinding explosion engulfed her, erasing her from existence in a violent flash of
light and heat.
"ARIA!"
Lucas bolted upright in bed, gasping for air, his body drenched in cold sweat despite the fever ravaging his system. The dream had felt so real-for those few
precious moments, she had been alive again, within his reach.
He fumbled for his phone on the nightstand-a pathetic ritual he couldn't break,
checking for messages from a number that would never text again. Before he could unlock the screen, his bedroom door burst open, his guardian's face ashen with panic: "Alpha! There's an emergency at Luna Collins's crypt!" No one could have predicted Leila's complete psychological break-sneaking into
the cemetery with bribed groundskeepers, disinterring Aria's urn, and threatening to scatter her remains.
When Lucas arrived, the scene before him was something from a nightmare. Leila
stood in the rain, mascara streaming down her face, clutching Aria's urn like a
trophy.

trouble!"
The confession sliced through him-the original “crime” that had justified three
years of torment had been fabricated. He had destroyed Aria for nothing.
Pure rage gave him a surge of strength despite his illness. He lunged forward,
desperate to protect the only physical reminder of Aria he had left.

His fever-weakened body betrayed him-as his fingers nearly reached the urn, his
legs buckled
beneath him.
Time seemed to slow as he collapsed forward. Leila, startled by his sudden
movement, stumbled backward, losing her grip on the urn.
The delicate ceramic container tumbled through the air in what felt like slow
motion before shattering against the marble floor with a sound that seemed to echo through Lucas's very soul.
The impact scattered Aria's ashes across the wet floor, the rain quickly dissolving
them into nothingness, washing away the last physical trace of her existence. Lucas stared in mute horror, a guttural sound escaping him before he violently coughed up blood.
