In Between Two Alphas: Love for WarUpdated at Sep 30, 2024, 17:00
The tension between them thickened, but before Lila could say anything else, Eira turned and walked towards a small table, pouring another glass of wine. She handed one to Lila with that same forced smile.
As they drank, Lila felt a warmth spreading through her chest. She set the empty glass down, smiling, but then her vision became blurry. A strange dizziness overtook her, and her legs buckled beneath her.
"Eira... I don’t feel... right," Lila whispered, her hand clutching the edge of the table for support. The room spun around her as if the world was tilting on its axis.
Eira was watching her now, the warmth gone from her expression, replaced by something far colder, almost indifferent. "I know," she said quietly.
Lila’s heart raced as the realization hit her like a punch to the gut. "Eira... what did you...?"
Before she could finish, her legs gave out completely, and she crumpled to the floor. The poison was already in her veins, spreading fast. Her limbs felt heavy, and her vision darkened at the edges.
