His Name in Her Mouth

<p>She didn't summon him.</p><p>She just moaned his name in her sleep.</p><p>And that was enough.</p><p>Now he watches her from the shadows.</p><p>Moves through her body like it's already his. Burns glyphs into her skin from a realm that was never meant to touch hers.</p><p>Xal'gon was once a sentinel-cast out for wanting what no angel was allowed to want. Now he waits in the Veil feeding on breath sound and the shape of her soul.</p><p>And Lacey? She's the anchor. The tether. The one mortal who can bring him across.</p><p>He offers her a place beside him.</p><p>No death.</p><p>No hunger.</p><p>No one else.</p><p>Just eternity kneeling in embered gold.</p><p>But claiming her means burning the life she once knew to ash-</p><p>And once the Binding Circle closes there's no going back.</p><p>
