For all of you who love Lana, Honda and Yuki, the three main protagonists of my series 'Temper', I'm happy to share a series of one-shots taking place during, before or after the main events of the novel. They are either cut scenes, background stories or simply a take told from the point of view of another character than Lana. They contain MAJOR SPOILERS for the Temper series, so please be careful! Some of them contain mature, explicit scenes and will be signalled as such at the start of the chapter. Thank you again for all your love and support. I'm humbled and excited by the feedback I got from the WP community. Love, Lila

"For several years, I worked for The Ace as a Diamond," Valeroy said, before swallowing again. "There was a special mission two years ago. The best were selected. You see, I had no problem with blood, but...what happened there was...It was different..." 'Criminal City' lies at the heart of the Empire. And in this city, Valeroy Blane is suffering from strange dreams and nightmares. His quest for answers leads him to not only reopen old wounds and uncover a dangerous plot that could kill millions, but also come to meet AU: the notorious assassin of the Empire who is on his own path of vengeance.
