REANA MALORI
Touched By Darkness
War has come to my land and my world is in chaos
Advertisement
My entire existence has been crafted to serve the crown. To give my life in service and protection for my country.
Honor. Dedication. Loyalty to my race is all I know
And then I am betrayed. My life was deemed forfeit for unknown reasons.
Revenge is now my mission. I need to understand why. I need to understand what changed
But first, I need to heal.
I'm in the presence of my enemy as she nurses me back to health. I should hate her, recoil from her presence. But she has the face of an angel, and each interaction soothes my troubled mind. Nothing about this situation should feel right, but it's becoming harder to resist the pull.
It is dangerous for me to be here with her When the time comes for me to leave and hunt down my betrayer, I must leave her behind.
My life is full of destruction and war. I don't deserve to have someone like her. Not after the things I've done. But after one touch, I'm willing to risk it all.
