"Can we talk?" He suddenly asked, deciding to break the silence between us.
"About what?" I managed to say, my voice hoarse from all the crying I did over the past few days.
"You've changed...What happened?" He said like everything was absolutely fine. I chuckled distastefully at his stupid question.
"I had to sit back and watch you be with her all this time and I didn't have a fucking clue. Now you tell me, would you be the same after that?" I bit back the tears that seemed so persistent to fall. I didn't dare look at him, afraid that I'd get lost once again in those green orbs that I never thought would grown to love.

"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.Complete
