"Their favourite sin"

She wasn't born a Valefor.
But the day her bare feet touched the blood of her slaughtered family,
she became theirs.

She didn't scream.
She stared.
And the devil who killed them smiled-
and took her home.

Now she lives locked behind gold and shadow,
the possession of the most feared family alive.
The Valefors.

Monsters in flesh.
Gods in name.
The world fears them-
but they worship her.

The girl who should have died.
The beauty too unreal to be free.

Their mother is ice.
Their father is death.
Their sons kiss her like a prayer and a curse.
Not with love-
with ownership.

She breathes because they let her.
She stays because she has nowhere to run.

And if she tries?

They'll burn the world to bring her back.

Because she's not their daughter.
Not their sister.
She's their favorite sin.

And sins, in the Valefor house,
never get forgiven.
Only kept.

Forever.
