(Venatores, Warlanda)

Unperturbed, Mary stepped further into the ballroom, matching Aaron step for step as he made his way to her. Ocean blue eyes, his eyes, staring back at him. Darker than he's ever seen them. Methodical. Eerily calm. The eyes of a soldier on a mission. The Mary Aaron got to know more and more the older he got.

Kendall: Grandmama, it's not what you think. Guards!

Kendall’s face twisted into that of an innocent child's, one filled with despair.

Lilith: Not only did you have the most dangerous killer in Hunter history broken out of jail to avenge Calvin's death, you failed. Not once, but twice.

In stark contrast to her granddaughter, the practised hand that she was, Lilith remained cool. Kendall gave Lilith an incredulous look. Then the confessions flowed from Kendall, as though a desperate plea for redemption, retribution, everything she knew she herself couldn't get for her father.

    She stood before him, hands behind her back. Aaron almost killed Mary on the spot. The very person she was threatening, yet again, stopped him. Only in. This whole song and dance was because she was waiting for Keira. The breath eased out of him. If Mary was waiting on Keira, that meant she didn't have her. Mary: Yes Aaron, the woman who killed your Uncle Calvin is free and alive. For now. It was as though she was sifting through his thoughts. Aaron lowered his gun, followed shortly thereafter by Grayson. Infuriated by the way things were playing out, Kendall drew her gun. Mary grabbed Grayson's gun out of his hands, raised it and shot Kendall in the arm. Kendall: Shit!Kendall dropped her gun next to her on the floor. Grayson reacted quickly, drawing his spare piece. Mary: Troublesome one, isn't she Mama? Next one goes in your head, dear niece. Aaron already had his gun back up to his

    Mary's face turned sombre as her eyes fell on Grayson. There was nothing but contempt in his eyes as he held the gun to her head. Somehow this brought her solace. For Grayson may not love her, may be Lilith's, but his affection for his brother was apparent. Aaron: Keira can never be with me after what Mary did. Take, take, take. All Mary ever does is take. I love her so much. Do you know what that's like, mother? To love someone so damn much that it feels like you're going out of your mind when you're near them? When you're away from them? All the time. Nothing matters except keeping her safe. In fact, Mary did know. She understood that kind of blind love all too well. Mary: Will you play judge, jury and executioner to your own mother? Very well, but before you pull the trigger and get rid of the wicked witch once and for all, let Mama give you one last history lesson. (Outside the Hunter residence) Earlier that night… When

    A world so dark as this did not exist without the innocence of youth. Born the first daughter of Duke Killian and Duchess Lilith Hunter, Lady Mary Hunter was nothing short of sensational. Smart and strategic like her father. Decisive, alluring and manipulative to a fault, like her mother. Killian took his son Calvin onto the battlefield, flaunted his daughter Veronica’s beauty when he had dinner with the king, but Mary was his very best assassin and therefore his favorite. Those who knew of her contracts knew her only as The Silencer.Despite the blood on her hands and her firm allegiance to Killian and The House of Hunter, like most young women, Mary Hunter fell in love. It began at one of Killian’s annual parties. The target was Duke Jonathan Maine, CEO of Maine Industries. He was handsome, wealthy and the brother of a king, but that wasn’t why. Mary didn’t know why she saved him, only that she did. To be saved by Mary also meant to be protected by her. “You can

    Many years ago(Absconditus, Warlanda) Though a man far more content with his lot in life than his father, Prince Edward Pierce knew what his people said about Duke Killian and the House of Hunter. Absconditus was a city of warriors and champions. No small portion of soldiers who enlisted in Warlanda’s military came from Absconditus. So severe was this tradition that no man, woman or child of this region didn’t know how to raise the sword, put up their fists or pull the trigger of a gun. This fact alone did not bother Prince Edward. It was the way Duke Hunter chose to make use of the people and their skills that made the prince wary of Killian. Murder was Absconditus’ bread and butter. In the dark of the night, those who dared to seek the Hunters out would come and find Killian to put out a hit. Place a contract. From spouses to generals, princes to kings, so long as the contractor could afford the service, it was provided. Years passed. Killia

    "Nine years, it should've been us. Finally our turn. But now she'll never be those things. How could she be when you were the one that put her in my path? How am I supposed to love her in your place when, even as I stand here fuming, all I want to do is hold you? Baby I don't lie as well as you. Do this one thing for me. Tell me I'm a fool. That I should love her. That we don't matter, because you never loved me. Tell me you didn't break our hearts for Mary Condor. Not for her. Tell me anything except that you gave up on our perfect love because of Mary."She slapped him. "I sent you to Maine for your protection, not to drop your pants. What fucking choice did I have? There's no knowing what Kate and Nathan would have done to you in retribution if I brought you home with me and told them the truth. What was I supposed to say? Your mom killed my mom, so now I have to kill your mom? Let's ride off into the sunset? Don't you think I wanted to rip Emily's throat out right in front of you
