Kyra's eyes widened in sheer terror as she fell, glancing down at the dizzying height below.
Her breath hitched and her heart pounded in her chest, as world blurred around her.
"Kyra!" Lucas shouted, his voice thick with panic. He lunged forward to catch her, but Vincent's arm shot out, stopping him.
In an instant, Vincent's form began to shift. His lower half transformed into a powerful snake tail, which quickly coiled around Kyra's waist, saving her from the fall.
Vincent's face darkened, his eyes blazing with intense emotion, and his jaw clenched as he pulled Kyra into his arms.
He looked at her sharply with his Intense, hard gaze.
"Kyra, you need to be more careful. What if something happened to you? How would I live without you?" Lucas's voice trembled as he hugged Kyra tightly, leaning against Vincent's tail.
