CHAPTER FOURTEEN : Becoming Daniel
Daniel couldn’t sleep.
Not after his skin lit up like a dying star.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCMtcwxPc8
Not after he felt her inside him — not just emotionally, but something deeper.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i2kfqxA4m
Celestial. Corrupted. Irrevocable.
Lilith watched him from the shadows of their living room.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoHKOaEfo5
She didn't blink.
“They marked you,” she said again, quieter now.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVJZSkCLcy
“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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQiTZTSVK4
Not Hell’s fire.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PNK4ErwI9
Something... in between.
Her darkness. His purity. Merging.
“I should be terrified,” he said.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB5bKMtNEn
“But I’m not.”
Lilith leaned closer.
Her fingertips grazed the mark.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYZ7YMPv3A
“You’re not losing your humanity,” she said.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL2PUB83jw
“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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5p5V5rnby
“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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmZJhXKlUU
Her tongue tasted of ash and guilt.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xes3ffeXk
His tasted like fire meeting rain.
The mark on his chest flared.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugpkUNK2K0
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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O3KwuGZv9
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.
