Modern Chess Openings

After my mother's murder, I fled to avoid the prophecy. The end of the world rests on my shoulders, and I'm not willing to deal with it when my visions of the future are becoming increasingly terrifying.

I just hope that refusing the bond will save us from catastrophe. ***** Bonded with four mates is a reverse harem romance set in a modern fantasy world.
