Kiel, Lucien, and the council members enter a special room, where they are greeted by the school principal. The principal is shocked to see them, but quickly regains her composure. She asks Kiel and Lucien what they are doing there, and Kiel explains that they were brought there by his grandparents.
The principal looks confused, and asks Kiel to explain. Kiel tells her that his grandparents are legends in the supernatural realm, and that they were the ones who originally discovered the magic of the sun and the moon. The principal is still skeptical, but decides to hear them out.
Kiel's grandparents begin to tell their story, starting from the beginning. They explain how they first met, how they discovered the magic of the sun and the moon, and how they used that magic to help others. They talk about the challenges they faced, and the difficult decisions they had to make. They also talk about their relationship with Kiel's father, and how he was the one who first brought them to the school.
The principal is captivated by their story, and she starts to believe that they are who they say they are. She asks them about the current situation, and how they can help Kiel and Lucien.
Kiel's grandparents explain that they have been watching over Kiel since he was a child, and that they have seen his potential. They say that they believe he is the one who can bring about a new era of peace and harmony in the supernatural realm. They also believe that Lucien is a key part of this, and that they must stay together in order to fulfill their destiny.
The principal is amazed by what she is hearing, and she agrees to help Kiel and Lucien in any way she can. Kiel and Lucien are grateful.
Kiel and Lucien are standing in the special room, alone. Lucien looks at Kiel with such intensity that Kiel can feel his heart racing. Lucien steps closer to Kiel, and Kiel can feel the mate bond pulling them together. Lucien reaches out to touch Kiel's face, and Kiel flinches away.
Lucien's expression softens, and he takes a step back. "I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable," he says, his voice gentle. "I just...I feel like we're meant to be together. The mate bond is so strong,and I can't ignore it."
Kiel's eyes are wide, and he's not sure what to say. Part of him wants to run away, but another part of him wants to stay. He's not sure what to do, so he just stands there, frozen.
Lucien sighs, and looks down at the ground. "I know this is all new to you, and that you're probably scared. I don't want to pressure you into anything you're not ready for." He looks back up at Kiel, and there's a pleading look in his eyes. "But I need you to know that I would never hurt you. I would never betray your trust. I just want to be with you, in whatever way you'll let me."
Kiel looks into Lucien's eyes, and he can see that Lucien is telling the truth. He's not trying to manipulate Kiel, or force him into anything. He just wants to be with Kiel, and let the mate bond guide them. Kiel takes a deep breath, and nods.
"I...I want to try," Kiel says, his voice barely above a whisper. Lucien's face breaks in a smile, and he reaches out for Kiel's hand. Kiel lets Lucien take his hand, and he feels a rush of warmth spread through him. The mate bond is pulling them together, and Kiel can feel the connection between them growing stronger.
Lucien takes a step forward, and Kiel doesn't pull away. Lucien leans in, and their lips meet in a soft, tender kiss. Kiel's heart is racing, but he doesn't feel afraid anymore. He feels safe, and loved, and he knows that he wants this. He wants to be with Lucien,
in whatever way that means. As they continue to kiss, Kiel feels the world around them fade away. All that exists is this moment, and this connection between them. Time seems to stand still, and for a moment, Kiel feels like anything is possible.
When they finally break apart, Kiel feels a rush of emotions. He's happy, and nervous, and scared, and excited. Lucien smiles at him, and brushes his hair out of his face.
"I'm glad we took this step," Lucien says, his voice full of emotion. "I know it's a lot.
