Kyra stood near Damon's house, watching Vinecnt slither away for the last time.
She felt numb and empty, a profound ache settling in her chest. Is this what it feels like when you love someone so deeply that you can't imagine living without them? Maybe.
It was hard to let him go, but she knew he had to do this. She smiled through her tears as he disappeared into the darkness.
Lucas bit his lip, feeling his throat tighten with emotion. He didn't know when he had become so attached to Vinecnt. At first, he saw him as a rival, but now he felt a deep sadness seeing him leave.
Damon, on the other hand, felt a flicker of happiness that Vinecnt was finally gone. His sharp eyes flashed with satisfaction as he looked at Kyra. "Shall we go inside?" he asked.
