MC: Here's a How Not to Survive a Hostage Situation: Don't be me. Rule#1 Don't meet a guy fighting against cutlery. Rule#2 Don't get mistaken for someone with talent when you've absolutely none. Rule#3 Don't let a war, a high-stakes revenge plot, and one human weapon disguised as a person wreck your already failing life. (Oh, and don't expect me to tell you my name. You'll have to earn that.) But if you do? Congrats. You're now in my position-trapped, bleeding, and somehow still expected to be the sane one. Trowa: You're not the sane one. MC: Okay, first of all-rude. Second of all, enter Trowa. Trowa: Don't enter me into this. MC: Sigh. He's a questionable ally who moves people like chess pieces. Trowa: Incorrect. I don't play chess with lives. I just... redecorate the board when necessary. MC: Yeah. That's so much better. He plans. I panic. Together, we're one bad decision away from death. Trowa: Two. I have contingencies. MC: Oh, great. So we die second. Fantastic. And if we survive this, I'm going to need therapy. Trowa: You need therapy even if we don't. ################################## She was supposed to be a bystander. Now, she's bleeding in the middle of a war she doesn't understand.

Forged To Hunt - Book 1 Of Wold And Dragon Trilogy
Book 1 of The Wolf and Dragon Trilogy Series So often the balance of control is a fragile thing, and power can be usurped by a monster you once held in shackles. Creating the perfect weapon does not ensure your control of it. In order to stay in the game, you should always be on the lookout for what bigger fish lay in the depths of water you cannot see. Much like a lone wolf Elena keeps everyone and everything at a distance. To survive she'll throw away every last shred of her humanity and embody what her captors want. Her journey to power would have been far simpler, if not for Diego. The hostile environment she had dominated through brutality and an in-depth understanding of human psychology. He danced between both worlds, with a grace and charisma that came from innate natural talent. Pulling strings without ever revealing his true intentions. Would he be the undoing of all the power she had accumulated or did his eyes tell a different story? That he never hungered for her throne to begin with, perhaps he desired something else.
