He had been her first everything. Her first best friend, her first love, Her Blue,her first heartbreak.

“I’ll come back for you,” he had sworn, his voice rough with emotion, his hands gripping hers like a lifeline. "No matter what, Elara. You and me… we’re forever."

But forever had turned into twelve years of silence.

One day, he was her whole world. The next, he was gone.

Ripped away by forces neither of them could control. No goodbyes. No explanations. Just a gaping hole where he used to be.

She waited. For days. For months. For years.

But he never came back.

And eventually, she learned to stop believing in promises.

Now

She had spent twelve years becoming a ghost of the boy she once loved.

The world had carved something ruthless out of him, stripping away the softness, leaving behind only sharp edges and shadows. He had learned the hard way that love was a weakness—a weapon in the wrong hands.

But His pixie (Elara Whitmore) was the one thing he could never erase.

Her laughter still haunted him. Her touch still burned beneath his skin. He had tried to forget. He had failed.

And now, after all these years, their paths were about to collide once more.

But this time… Elara wouldn’t recognize the man standing before her.

And Lucian?

He wasn’t sure if he was back to claim her—or to destroy her.
