Chapter 4: Lines in the Sand

                  POV: Sophia

Sophia senses Alec’s internal struggle and decides to exploit it. She’s determined to survive, and if that means playing Alec’s emotions against him, so be it. But as she gets closer to him, she begins to see the man behind the monster—a man driven by pain and a need for vengeance.

Sophia finds herself caught in a web of conflicting emotions. She knows Alec is her enemy, responsible for her captivity and the pain of her family. Yet, she can’t deny the attraction she feels, nor the moments of vulnerability Alec shows her. The line between hate and something deeper begins to blur.
