The club wasn't where she imagined herself working, but it was the only place that would take her. The air was thick with smoke, and the neon lights did little to chase away the darkness inside. People came and went-some looking for trouble, others caught in things they shouldn't have been. She'd seen men dragged into the back rooms, beaten up for not paying in time or failing to do their part. And then there was her-the club owner. Cold, calculated, and feared by everyone who walked through the doors. She ran this place with a tight grip, and she didn't tolerate mistakes. No one dared to cross her, not without consequences. And yet, every time their eyes met, something shifted, an unsettling pull that she couldn't quite explain. She didn't know what it meant, or why it unsettled her so much. But one thing was certain: the longer she stayed here, the more complicated everything would become...

I knew that this day would come. My heels clicked along the sidewalk, my heart pounding in my chest as I furtively glanced around the dark street. My audition ran late, and I was now definitely regretting letting Ryan walk me home. Need to get home, need to get home, need to get home. My head pounded, and in response to the dull throb my heels clicked faster. I took a shortcut through an alley, and immediately regretted it. This was pretty much how every horror movie started, the girl takes a wrong turn and oh wow! There's three burly men at the end of the alley. I sucked in a sharp breath and forced myself to remain calm. I slowed to a stop, pretending to look down and dig through my bag. I latched onto my cellphone and clicked the recording button, feeling fear and adrenaline start to flood my system. One of them called out to me. "Hey there little girl, wanna have some fun?" His voice was thick and rough, cigarette smoke filled my nose. "Sorry, but no." I was glad when my voice came across as calm and collected. I forced myself to walk past them, but as expected, the one who spoke to me reached out and latched onto my arm. Despite being in the alleyway past midnight, these guys didn't look like your typical streetraff. They wore hole-less bluejeans, clean cut shirts and sleek leather jackets. It was too dark to see their faces clearly, but the most I gathered was they had similar facial features, the one latched onto me had blonde hair. "Hey now, don't leave us guys hanging." He drawled, flicking his cigarette bud onto the ground. "I said no." I jerked my arm back, causing them to laugh. "This one's got fire." The one to my right, he had dark hair, rasped. "Might be fun." Fear pumped strong through my system as I rapidly tried to find a way out of this situation. I was just about to run for it when a dark voice spoke out of the dark. "I suggest you let her go." My stomach dropped as she stepped out of the shadows.

Eloise grew up in the shadows of an illegal organization - trained, shaped, and scarred into the perfect weapon. Known for her temper and defiance, she was always the rebel among soldiers, the flame that refused to die out no matter how much they tried to break her. But when Cassandra - the cold, calculating leader of the organization - chooses Eloise as her Chosen, everything changes. Whether it's out of spite, fascination, or the desire to mold her into something unrecognizable, Cassandra turns Eloise's rebellion into a game. A dangerous game of power and control. Of loyalty and obsession. Of love that burns as much as it destroys. Because in a world built on violence and lies, being Chosen doesn't mean being saved. It means being owned. And Eloise is about to learn that even the strongest flames can be trapped in glass. - a new whole different ride my lovelies a/n
