Janiya knew she just wanted to feel safe, to have a partner who could protect her and return her love. Clarity settled over Janiya; it was like a light bulb in her mind had been turned on. She realized that while financial stability still mattered, her heart craved something more profound. It wasn’t about flashy cars or the size of his bank account; what truly counted was a man’s character, his commitment, and the strength of his morals.

I wouldn't even doubt his words, knowing how well off and dangerous his pack was. "So that's why your pack is one of the wealthiest in the kingdom," I murmured. And a dangerous one, I wanted to add. His lips formed a lopsided smile. "Wealth is just another form of power, Euphyllia. And power, when used correctly, commands fear more effectively than claws or fangs."

"Your highness, I think we must have killed that bastard Raichand too....for he seems only to be a nuisance, standing between us and our goal. Infact Is suggest to end him now and then every law will choose you as the heir of his wealth." "You're being illogical here, chief." Chandra countered.

she asked, searching for understanding in the sea of confusion. Her mother's face softened with empathy, her voice carrying a mixture of empathy and sadness. "My dear, power can be a potent poison. It can corrupt even the noblest of hearts, leading them astray from the path of righteousness. And when envy and ambition fuel that thirst for power, it can lead people to commit unspeakable acts, blinded by their desire to dominate and control."

The want of power is the principle driving force of evil, and it applies in every area of life. Even the mundanes had their own fair share of power struggles, with exceptional crime rates rising each time elections drew near, and it has always been a thing of pity that the poor masses could never fathom that these crimes against them were in one or the other, whether directly or indirectly, originally orchestrated by the very people campaigning to be elected into different public offices, and like sheep with a shepherd, they blindly vote them into office, giving them the right to do the unthinkable under the protection of the law.
