The scent of incense clung to the ancient stones like sorrow to memory.
Lucas stepped into the cathedral's crypt, boots silent against the black marble, his eyes drawn to the haloed moonlight slanting through the stained glass high above. Blues and silvers danced over his skin as though the goddess herself whispered through shadow and dust.
Each step into the sanctum felt heavier. Not with fear—but with anticipation. He felt her before he saw her. A presence layered in pain and beauty, wings folded in broken silence.
She was here.
And she was waiting.
The underground chamber opened into a vaulted cell, carved from alabaster and consecrated centuries ago. Faint glyphs shimmered across the bars like warded tears, runes meant to trap not a beast—but a divine.
There, suspended by ethereal chains that glowed with moon-sigil light, hung a girl with wings.
Not just a girl—an angel.
Her feathers were black as storm-rain, tattered yet breathtaking, with faint glimmers of starlight trapped between each ruined plume. She hung as though crucified, head bowed, silver circlet cracked across her brow. Pale skin marked by stasis-spells. Her wrists bled slow ribbons of divine ichor.
She was too still.
But not dead.
Lucas stepped closer, heart thrumming.
The Seduction System surged alive with divine urgency.

He took a breath.
"Raviana," he said, voice a soft tremor of power through the quiet.
Her head jerked up slightly—barely—and her eyes opened.
They were like galaxies seen through tears.
"Who... are you?" she whispered, voice dry as candle smoke.
He approached the bars. "Lucas Gray. Lustborn Duke of Thornevale. Servant of the Forgotten Goddess."
A flicker of life danced behind her eyes.
"They said… I would be left to rot. Forgotten… cast out for defiance."
Lucas pressed his palm to the barrier. "I don't forget what's divine."
The runes pulsed. Reacted. Her breath hitched.
"You feel... different. Not holy. Not profane."
"I'm something new."
Her wings twitched slightly. Feathers shook, as if sensing the heat building in the chamber.
Lucas's eyes roamed her figure. The shackles bound her ankles wide, exposing the lean curve of her thighs beneath a torn ceremonial tunic. Her breasts were perfect—round, full, and unmarked, despite the bruises that ringed her arms. She had been untouched. Guarded even in punishment.
She was sacred—and violated in everything but body.
His fingers curled.
He could not let her stay caged.

He understood now.
"Raviana. I can free you. But I can't take power from you—not by force."
Her laugh was bitter. "You're a Lustborn. You take. That's what you are."
Lucas met her gaze. "I don't want to take anything from you. I want to give you your wings back."
A long silence stretched. Then: "How?"
He unfastened the clasp at his throat, exposing the glowing sigil at his chest. It pulsed—slow, rhythmic, the heartbeat of divine hunger.
"By touching your soul," he whispered, stepping through as the bars dissolved at his will.
Her breath caught. The spell recognized him.
He approached her slowly, hand outstretched.
She trembled, not from fear—but something deeper. Something awakening.
"Let me help you feel again."
He knelt beneath her, and placed his palm to her ankle. The divine chain shimmered. Her wing twitched.
The sigil flared.
And she gasped.
"I haven't felt heat in so long," she whispered.
Lucas rose to meet her eyes.
"You'll feel more than heat."
He cupped her cheek.
She leaned in, like instinct, breath trembling. Her lips so close now. "Promise me," she whispered. "If I give this… you won't vanish like the others."
"I swear. I'm yours if you want me."
The chains cracked.
Her eyes closed—and she kissed him.
It was hesitant at first. Tasted of longing and betrayal. But when his hand found the hollow of her back, and her wings unfurled, the kiss deepened.
Raviana moaned into his mouth.
And the shackles shattered.

He carried her down gently, her legs wrapping around his waist. The ceremonial tunic slipped away, revealing every flawless curve beneath—her nipples dusky rose, her stomach smooth and supple, her breath hitching in divine rhythm.
"Touch me," she whispered. "Make me forget the cold."
Lucas obeyed.
His fingers traced the swell of her breasts, his lips worshipped the hollow between her thighs, and her halo glowed brighter with each cry.
"Lucas—something's happening—" she gasped, writhing beneath him as his tongue caressed the Pleasure Path etched into her wing's base.
Her back arched. Magic surged.

Their bodies met in sacred rhythm.
Raviana's virginity was given not as surrender—but as defiance reborn.
She clung to him, legs tight around his waist as he drove into her slowly, reverently, making her gasp and sob in pleasure. Each thrust aligned with the moonlight spilling through the high windows. Her wings opened wide, power pulsing from the feathers like starlight.
Their climax was a union of celestial rupture and mortal hunger.
She cried his name like prayer.
And when it ended, when their bodies collapsed together in glowing sweat and soul-bound breath, she whispered:
"I believe in you."
Lucas kissed her brow, and his sigil pulsed with newfound strength.
The power hummed through his bones.
Moonblood. Celestial.
He was no longer bound to roads or riders.
He could blink—from forest to forest, ruin to ruin.
He was no longer chasing fate.
He was becoming it.
