Mercy & Fire
Adrenaline pumped in my veins as I pressed myself against the large tree trunk, hoping the darkness would conceal me from my impending doom. My heart hammered against my ribs and cold sweat gathered at my palms and chest. His armor clanked and clinked, scraping against itself as he grew closer and closer... Then silence. "Come out little rabbit." The voice was deep and menacing, and I would've soiled myself right there if I were any younger. I couldn't see very well, but I could see what little moonlight that filtered through the trees reflected off a pale face. His gaze was like a hungry, crazed wolf hunting its prey. "Found you." *** Roselena is satisfied with helping her father run his printing business in her childhood village, but in the face of kingdom rising against kingdom, she finds herself thrown into a world of political tensions, magical beings, and the plot of a God. She struggles to define who she is, what she believes, and who she can trust. Worst of all, she seems to have been snared by a cruel King who can't seem to leave her alone. In a world going up in flames, Roselena can only hope to find mercy amongst the burning fire. Warning: Themes of SA, religion, human sacrifice, gore, and some explicit language.

They are enemies, bound by hatred and rivalry, yet every encounter only seems to fuel the fire between them. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Sometimes," he murmured, his voice dark and taunting, "it's better to stay curious." A pause. Then, softer-hungrier. "But if you really want to know... I wanted you here. On my team. Close to me." His fingers barely grazed my side, a ghost of a touch. "To break you." Another pause, a smirk I could hear in his voice. "To touch you." His breath fanned against my skin, heat curling down my spine. "To fuck you." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRIGGER WARNING: (don't say that I didn't warn you) 1. Death and violence 2. Sexual assault (SA) 3.
