Chapter III don’t believe in fate, prophecies, or holy marks.I believe in power what I take, what I break, and what I own.But the girl I ripped from that cult…she isn’t something I can control with a gun or a threat.And the moment her mark burned against my skin,I knew one thing for certain:I hadn’t saved her.I had claimed something far more dangerous.
