CHAPTER FOURTEEN : Becoming Daniel
Daniel couldn’t sleep.
Not after his skin lit up like a dying star.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr5glhTJSU
Not after he felt her inside him — not just emotionally, but something deeper.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21NHDCpVhw
Celestial. Corrupted. Irrevocable.
Lilith watched him from the shadows of their living room.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBR7Ab1fmQ
She didn't blink.
“They marked you,” she said again, quieter now.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImd1qRbPFB
“That blade wasn’t just divine. It was bait.”
Daniel’s laugh was dry.
“So what? I’m infected now?”
She knelt in front of him.
“No. You’re awakening.”
The mark on his chest—where the sword scraped him—had started to glow.
It pulsed like a second heartbeat.
Not Heaven’s light.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2PoefkQti
Not Hell’s fire.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyi45oYWjp
Something... in between.
Her darkness. His purity. Merging.
“I should be terrified,” he said.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFfXVYVplj
“But I’m not.”
Lilith leaned closer.
Her fingertips grazed the mark.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuAPMhfpoq
“You’re not losing your humanity,” she said.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Mi0SUmT5t
“You’re becoming what they fear most.”
They were sitting too close now.
The kind of close that whispered danger.
Lilith’s breath hitched as Daniel cupped her jaw.
“You’re trembling,” he said.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzE9hZE86Z
“You, of all people.”
“I never meant for you to be dragged into this.”
“I never meant to fall for you,” he whispered back.
And then…
Her lips crashed into his.
A kiss that burned instead of soothed.
Hungry. Desperate.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2cbTKmvrx
Her tongue tasted of ash and guilt.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsRG95OZAm
His tasted like fire meeting rain.
The mark on his chest flared.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil2Xc0ZzUj
So did her wings.
The kiss deepened until it wasn’t just skin and heat—
—but soul and storm.
She pulled back, gasping.
“If we go further, you’ll change faster.”
Daniel’s eyes were glowing faintly now.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMh0YywkAN
Not gold. Not red.
Something unnamed.
“Then take me. I want to be yours.”
And Lilith?
She didn’t resist anymore.
Because what was forbidden…
Had already happened.
That night, the angel didn’t fall alone.
Daniel fell with her.
And Heaven felt the tremor.
