Made from sheets of magic paralyzing material something ironically produced by Vanguard themselves. "I only ask that you sign the Pax Lycana Agreement. An agreement that from this moment on, all crucial decisions of humanity relating to global military allocations and the exploitation of natural borders must receive the devil's stamp from my table."

Her mom held up her hand to stop Val. “However, you are a principessa mafiosa (mafia princess) marrying the future Don of the family. So, do not think for one moment that your wedding does not have some type of political power behind it. You are bonded by a contract, an agreement, to stop this war, to put an end to it, not to keep it going in a different way.” Val’s teeth clenched as she looked at her mom.

“But it’s not trying to hurt us.” The shape ahead bent the dark just enough to acknowledge me. Recognition slid through my chest like a key turning. Not yours, the pull said without sound. But not untouched. I swallowed. “It wants terms,” I whispered. POV: Kai No. I stepped half a pace forward, authority tightening in my spine. “You don’t get terms.
