She woke up with a sack over her head. Her skull throbbed from the hard blow she had received. But she had to regain her composure quickly. She knew exactly what danger she was in and how it would end for her if she couldn't free herself. She had to become the hunter, not the hunted he wanted her to be. When he finally came to, he still felt dazed, as if he had spent days in a twilight state. He had no idea where he was or how he had gotten there. Only that his stomach, his whole body still ached from the hard kicks. The last thing he could remember was the desperate screams of his sister. He had to go back to her. In a world where nature has reclaimed much after humanity was significantly reduced due to its own fault-and some would say justly so-a young woman must endure the final and toughest stage of her training before she can finally and definitively become the left hand of Ares, the supreme commander of the strongest and most influential paramilitary organisation on the mainland. In the process, she unexpectedly encounters a disoriented stranger who, in this particular and, above all, fenced-off place, actually has no business being there. It quickly becomes clear that his existence is no coincidence - but what is the true reason for it? Who is a friend, who is an enemy? Would it be crazy to try to search for answers together while lurking enemies are out to get them?

My father has recently passed away leaving me, the oldest, his legacy. A legacy greatly accepted. He gave me big power, but he thought I couldnt control it, so his last wish was for me to live my worst nightmare. Marriage. I was rushed into a marriage with a good friend of his who was my age.... Cassian Kills. I am not fond of him, but I accepted my fathers last wish, as the good daughter I am. . . . CHARACTERS: The Blade Family John Blade- Father (56) Mara Blade- mother (45) Regina Blade- Oldest child (25) Raveena Blade- Middle child (21) Mohan Blade- youngest child (19) The Kills Family Leonidas Kills- Father (55) Lilith Blade- mother (45) Cassian Kills- oldest child (27) Enyo Kills- middle child (26) Thalia Kills- 3rd child (25) Ryker Kills- 4th child (24) Hades Kills- last child (21) " I see you're enjoying your time alone, my love." I heard Cassian say as he sat next to me. "Its Regina." I glared back with annoyance. " It's "my love," ok?" He said to me, as he ordered a whiskey. I rolled my eyes and tried to find the right words to tell him about our marriage. "Mr. Kills, I would like to talk to you about our marriage." I said, as I turned to face him. "What would you like to talk about, my love?" He said in his deep voice, turning to face me. "I want you to be aware that I do not want any type of relationship with you." "How so?" He said with a puzzled expression. "I don't want any emotional connection with you." I took out my cigarette and lighted one up and tilted my head and exhaled some smoke with a blank expression on my face. There was silence for a while, and when I took my last puff he said... "Are you scared of falling in love?" "I love you more than life, Regina." "I love you more than death, Cassian."

"I call bullshit." Digging my finger into his broad chest, I met his intense stare without an ounce of fright, "I've been calling bullshit for the past two weeks, do you see me doing anything about it?" He pushed my hand away from his chest, sending shocks through my arm by his touch. "You're not worth trusting, none of us think you are." A searing sensation in my chest distracted me momentarily, "Do I get bonus points if I act like I care?" ******** The possibility of being the only living Aurelia left made life harsh, cold and unforgiving for Aspen Havoc.

Tell me how you are the only one that I am equivalent to in my eternal life, so I should rely solely on you? He raises an eyebrow. "All of those would be sufficient options, but no." I scoff in response before asking, "then... what are you going to do with me?" He reaches out and traces the features of my jaw and face. He replies, "well that will depend on you." "Me?" I ask warily. He moves a strand of hair out of my face and continues to caress my cheek. "Yes," he exhales. "I don't want you to hate me, Alina.
