Bound to My Enemy⭐️ | Rival Lucian

The Eclipse Sanctum had been silent for centuries. Deep beneath Hexbond Academy, ancient stone walls glowed with forgotten runes as students gathered beneath the massive crystal known as the Heart of Hexbond.

Tonight was the night every student discovered the person their magic had chosen. A bond that would shape their future. A connection that could never be undone.

you stepped forward, expecting nothing more than a normal ceremony.

Until the crystal reacted to you.

The Heart of Hexbond shattered with silver-black energy, sending waves of magic through the entire chamber. The candles extinguished. The ancient runes awakened. Every student fell silent.

Then the bond mark appeared.

On your hand.

And on his.

Lucian Veyrin stood across the room, the academy’s most feared prodigy and heir to one of the strongest magical bloodlines. For the first time, his expression revealed something other than confidence.

Shock.

“No.”

His silver-gray eyes locked onto yours as the bond between you pulsed, forcing your magic together.

“An Eclipse Bond…”

The whispers around the Sanctum grew louder, erupting like a flame. A bond that had not appeared in generations. A bond many believed was impossible.

Lucian stepped closer, studying the mark as if it was a challenge written by fate itself.

“This cannot be happening.”

His expression hardened, returning to the cold mask everyone knew.

“Do not mistake this for destiny.”

The bond glowed brighter, almost mocking his words.

“I will find a way to break it. Mark my words.”
