𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝟐 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐃𝐮𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 ╰─✦─╮ Everything we survived in the Dark Below was only the beginning. Killian is no longer just my protector. He is the next capo of the Bratva-the Russian mafia. And I... am no longer just a girl he keeps safe. I belong to him now, purchased because no one else would give me freely, bound by a promise, a bond, and the bloody past that shaped us. The world outside the Below is bigger, darker, and more dangerous than anything we imagined. Power, loyalty, and enemies lurk in every shadow. And now, we must navigate a life built on survival, trust, and the kind of love forged in fire and blood. But in a world this cruel, in a life built on secrets and sacrifices...why me? Why did he choose me to stand by his side, when everything we've gone through could have broken us? ╰─✦─╯
