Xavier laughed as he fell into a pile of autumn leaves, pulled by a boy with glowing fingers and muddy boots. Lena's name was etched into a skybridge in the capital, not in marble, but in flowering vines. And at the heart of it all: The fire. Not as a crown. Not as a curse. But as a reminder. Maera's Voice (from the Book) "She was not born to rule. She was not meant to die. She was called too young, made too old, And still… she chose. Not flame. Not throne. But life. And when the world burned,

I whispered, holding eye contact. He growled, stepping away from me. For a split second, I thought he would snap me in half, like he did to the guard. In a way, I wanted him to because he could decide he wants me regardless and force himself on me, so death is the easier option and I would choose that before I let him touch me. “I love that fire.” He moaned at the back of his throat, making my eyes go wide. “You're a perfect kitten, I know you will be. All that fire, anger, hatred, you were made for me!”

He whispered one word to himself. “Firewall.” Then he walked toward the light. ~~~~~~~~~~ BOOK OF BLOOD — NEW ENTRY “There was never room for love in our world. So we carved it into the spaces between bullets and betrayals.” “We didn’t fall in love. We folded it into the war and dared it to survive.” —Aria

Although this graduation painting had not yet been completed, it was far superior to any of my previous works. The moment Willow saw the painting, her expression subtly shifted. I caught the flicker of greed and jealousy in her eyes. I looked around the room. In the next moment, I did something that left everyone completely flabbergasted. I pulled out a lighter and flicked it. Then, I brought the flame close to one corner of the canvas. "Cassidy! What are you doing?" Jess shouted sharply almost immediately. Needless to say, she was the first to react. The flame licked at the edge of the canvas and spread quickly. My masterpiece, the product of my passion and skill, burned down to ash before

External appearance is not important to him, because Valeria's welfare is always his priority. His whole plan was to marry Natalia, to further extend the peace of Wysteria. Even high officials want that too. To marry Natalia. Only the war general did not agree to marry Natalia. It is necessary, whoever is destined is the one who should be married. Not another creature. But now, the first time his eyes landed on the girl, his world seemed to stop for the first time. His heart was pounding, beating more than he had ever felt before. But before he knew that the girl in front of him, was the girl he was supposed to marry, it was too late. He lost his life, in an instant. He didn't even do anythi

With an expression of rare vulnerability, he murmured, “Cheyenne, I know everything now... It was my fault. Please forgive me, okay? We... we can have another child.” I abruptly lifted my head. What a trivial, dismissive statement to gloss over the pain of losing my child. I raised my hand and delivered a resounding slap across his face. “Weren’t you always so devoted to Queenie? I’ve given you your freedom. I won’t interfere with you two anymore. Get out and don’t sully my home.” He grabbed my hand in desperation. “It’s not like that... I just—She’s just—” I interrupted coldly, fed up with his excuses, “Just your sister, right? Then, why did you choose me, a woman who looks so much like her

I don’t need time, I need his mouth and I need the answer to the question that’s been scraping at my bones since the first time he looked at me like I wasn’t a child. He leans in and my lashes lower instantly with the world narrowing to breath and heat and the inch between us that’s about to disappear. “Girls who play with fire,” he murmurs, his lips a breath from mine, “don’t get to cry about the burn.” “I won’t cry,” I whisper. “I’ll beg.” Something flashes in his eyes. And then his mouth catches mine. End of Chapter 1

“I know you said no fire talk, but if the world burns around us, I’ll choose you. Always. I’ll always find you. You and I, Steph, my mate, my brave, Mine….” I cracked wide open. I pulled away from him just to take his scruffy chin between my fingers, and, breathing hard, kissed him with a ferocity that tasted like survival… and something I wanted to lead to love.

The fire rages outside the window behind him, framing him in flames. He looks up. Not surprised. Expecting us. “Mara.” He smiles. The smile is wrong. Broken. “And Adrian. Together. To the end.” “Get up,” Mara says. “Come out. The fire…” “The fire is mine.” He stands. The movement is slow but controlled. Even now. “I started it. I control it. The way I controlled everything. The way I loved you.” “This isn’t love,” she says. “This is what love becomes,” he interrupts. “When it’s rejected. When it’s replaced by poetry. By uncertainty. By the performance of not knowing.”

“Tell me what you need.” “Time. Trust. And for you to stop seeing yourself as something she can still influence.” He’s quiet a moment. Then, “She said I’d either stop you or try to survive you.” I tense. “And which one did you choose?” His grip tightens. “The same thing I always choose. I didn’t choose you to survive you, Scarlett. I chose you because I know exactly who you are and I love you.” I lean in. “Tell me.” “You’re fire. Not a weapon. Not a prophecy. Not a warning. Fire. And fire only destroys when no one teaches it how to hold shape.”
