[Sequel to Shadows. If you've not read Shadows,I endeavor you do so before reading this]
__________
He was born of the Queen of Ruin. Raised beneath a sky that never forgot his mother's flame.
Darake is not a boy like others. With crimson hair and golden eyes that see far too much, he walks a world that fears what he might become. For in his shadow, others stir-watchers, legends, forgotten beasts.
Whispers say the blood of gods and monsters runs in his veins.
He is destined to summon four: Blood, Shadows, Souls, and something far older...
-Silence.
But Silence is not what the stories claimed. It does not speak, yet its presence weighs more than war drums.
And Darake, for all his power, finds himself drawn to the only one he cannot command. The one he must never relate with.
And when Silence looks back at him... the world holds its breath.

Drenched in Betrayal(On Hold)
His voice was hoarse as he whispered against my ear, "Shh, love. Stop being so irresistible. I want to give you something." He pulled his fingers out of my pants, leaving me empty and frustrated. My eyes snapped to his instantly, a soft whimper escaping my lips. He took out a small, velvet box from his pocket, holding it out to me silently. Curiosity piqued, I opened it to reveal a pair of delicate gold anklets, tiny diamonds and rubies scattered along the chain. I looked up at him questioningly, but he just smiled softly, taking my left foot gently in his hand. He wrapped one anklet around my left ankle, securing it with a gentle click. Then he picked up my right foot, his touch reverent. "Fuck, love," he murmured, "You look even more beautiful with these." He leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to my left ankle, right above the anklet. I gasped, he smiled against my skin before kissing my right ankle as well. "Perfect." he whispered. ⚬──────────✧──────────⚬ Aarohi Arora, a soft-spoken, seemingly fragile girl with quiet strength buried deep within her.
