NYX’S POV
"I want to spend the rest of my days with you."
It was the hundredth time Xander had reassured me of the same thing, yet each time, his words still took warmth circulating through my chest.
I smiled gently and held him by the neck, pulling him closer until our heads met. My eyes read his, looking for any sign of hesitation, any fragment of doubt.
But there was none.
Only sincerity.
Just pure love.
Just as I was about to respond, his fingers brushed against my side, sending shivers down my spine.
I gasped, wincing.

"Xander!" I trembled, tring to escape, but his grip was hard. A playful smirk formed on his lips as he threw another attack.
I broke free and took off sprinting, laughter spilling from my lips as he followed me through the woods.
