    She did little to hide her shock. "What?"
    
    "You can go, Alina." She narrowed her eyes and opened her mouth but he cut her off before she could spew whatever distrustful comments she had planned. "You and the tracker can go and live out your merry little lives. Have your 50 years, maybe even 70 if you're lucky, and when your fantasy crumbles around you, you will see that only you and I remain. You will return to my waiting arms."

    This fic will deal with heavy topics: war, violence, loss, grief, death, and manipulation will all be explored. There are mentions of SA and explicit dub-con scenes. The relationship between Alina and Aleksander is very much toxic throughout the story and it will for the most part remain toxic.

    If these are themes that will trigger you or make you uncomfortable PLEASE do not engage.  This is a mature story and should be treated as such, at the end of the day we are responsible for what we consume on the internet.All Rights Reserved
