“WHAT?!”
My voice cracked through the chamber, echoing off the onyx stone. I scrambled upright, clutching the sheets around me, and stared at him in horror.
Did he just say “prisoner of war”?!
But Ani only looked at me, entirely at ease. His crimson eyes glowing faintly with some secret fire, as though nothing he had said was shocking at all…
For a long time, I just stared at him.
The words echoed in my mind, colliding with everything I believed in. Prisoner of war! Wasn’t that an outdated and barbaric concept? Hell, I didn’t even know where to begin with that. What the hell did I even say when I’d just slept with a horned primordial being who kept the Goddess of Night on a leash?
It was just absurd!
Although he didn’t seem all that bothered about it, he still must have seen the swirl of confusion on my

Master of Justice, Slave to Desire Chapter Thirty-Nine
Ani's POVAliana Bekim was different!Don’t ask how I knew her name. I know the names of all the souls I govern. But something about her captured me…Her soul!Yes, I see souls. It’s my gift – or curse, depending on who you ask. It was the one thing built into my blood the moment I opened my eyes for the very first time. When the cries for blood reached the heavens and my father’s blood stirred.Thus, I was born…Ever since that day, I saw souls. And more importantly, I saw “sin”. It was the only way I could describe it to a mortal. The way I gauged judgment. A pure soul would shine, usually about the time of infancy. Later in life, it would dim due to the choices they made. And if the soul grew too dark…Well…

Justice spoke three times before the blade fellOnce for the innocent blood you spillOnce for the innocent choice you stoleOnce for the innocent trust you betrayBreak all three, and your soul will be bound for the pits of Dikaios's HellDikaios’s POVStanding on the rooftop, facing down about two dozen gunmen, I couldn’t help but smile. This feeling burning in my veins – the feeling I was born with, that gave me purpose in life…It had been so long since I felt it last!But I suppose, I should start at the beginning...It began – as all stupid things do – with a frog!Yes, a frog...

Aliana's POVThe air shimmered, my skin tingled, and just like that, we crashed on top of the neighboring roof. Wide-eyed, my head snapped towards the edge, the wide gap like a gaping mouth.Ani had used magic to save us…“You didn’t say I can’t use magic,” Ain grinned next to me, his smile way too cocky, as if he was enjoying this. “You just told me not to get caught!”I--- I guess I did…Hearing my roommates cry out, my head snapped in their direction, worried that they were hurt. But Lin was just repeating “we’re going to die!” on repeat, while Hannah looked physically ill.Yeah…I could relate!“MOVE!”Gunshots rang out once more. More men had gathered on the other rooftop – and while they were sane enough not to jump, their guns could still
Master of Justice, Slave to Desire Chapter Thirty-Six
Aliana’s POV“We have company!”The moment those words left Ani’s lips, my stomach dropped. Every muscle coiled, my breath shallow. I hadn’t even noticed that Ani had been scanning the street outside for the last few minutes, his jaw tense and eyes darting. Despite the god by my side and I still felt that familiar brush of unease settle over me.“They’re here,” he said quietly, almost to himself, but I felt it like a punch to the chest. “They followed us from the university.”What?!“Who?” I snapped, hating how high my voice suddenly sounded, my heart hammering in my chest. “How---?”Hell, I wasn’t really sure what I was asking! Who was following us? My father or Kodra’s men? How had they found us? Had they been lurking around the university ever since I’d disappeared? And if
Master of Justice, Slave to Desire Chapter Thirty-Five
Aliana's POV“You’re gratitude is unnecessary,” Ani suddenly cut into my train of thought, stunning me into silence. My head snapped up to him, and I found his red eyes peering into mine in that same way that made me feel like he didn’t just know my mind, but my soul too...“How did you---?!” I asked, stunned at how he knew what I was thinking. But once more, he cut me off. This time, he caught my chin, lifting my head to meet his, and in a breath, his mouth locked over mine. The kiss was possessive, demanding my full surrender, and had my heart swell in my chest. My whole being reacted to him, scaring me quite frankly. Because my body didn’t feel like my own anymore.It belonged to him...“My heart is yours, little girl,” Ani murmured when he finally let me up for air, my chest pounding and a pulse rushing in my ear. “But nothing I do is without selfish reasons.”
Master of Justice, Slave to Desire Chapter Thirty-Four
Aliana's POV"Until then, your courses are canceled!”I’d felt my heart sink!“This can’t be happening,” I’d muttered more to myself than anyone else. I’d worked so fucking hard on getting those scholarships, sacrificed so many sleepless nights on studies, filing paperwork, forms, and--- and sneaking around my father’s house as if I’d committed murder!Everything!Down the drain...Seeing my despair, Professor DeLuca finally felt some pity for me.“You’re a talented artist, Aliana,” she said in a soft tone, reaching across her desk to pat my hand. You’ve got a rare gift, don’t throw it away! Stay focused, okay? Don’t let--- hmm, distractions get in your way!”Her gaze had flicked pointedly toward Ani--- and something inside me snapped!
