Death surrounds me.
Every step I take, there's someone waiting for me in the shadows.
There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, and now, I'm out here on my own, my hands stained with the blood of those I've killed to survive.
Zade DeVil was my executioner, my most feared enemy, but he was also my protector. I wasn't willing to cross that line with him, despite how much I may have wanted to. He was my savior, but now he's gone, just like the others.
Dalton Eros. Sawyer Thorne. Easton Cross.
They were the three loves of my life, the three men who would walk through the darkest pits of hell to save me. They were everything a girl could dream of until an explosion stole them away, and now I'm left with this hole in my chest where my heart used to be and a war that is not my own to win.
Empire will never stop coming for me, never stop hunting me, and I've had enough. I say let them come, but when they do, they better be ready for this blood heir to burn their great Empire to the ground, and in its place, I will rise as their new queen-the fate of their beating hearts now in my hands.
