two fugitives bound by a ring and a dead man’s blessing. As we scrambled through the backyard, the cream lace—my wedding dress—snagged on a jagged thicket of thorns. I didn't stop. I pulled with everything I had, the sound of the fabric ripping echoing like a scream in the quiet of the old man's backyard. A long, jagged strip stayed behind, dancing on the thorns like a ghost. I didn't know why, but the sound felt like an omen. The 'legal shield' hadn't even lasted an hour before it was torn to shreds."

Something in his voice, the older brother version, the one that had fourteen years and a fracture and a rebuilding in it. "Whatever the news is, it arrives with pastry. That's its own information."

You will bleed for them, you will stand between them and the dark, and you will lead them with honor."

"If Kieran comes, if anyone comes, you use it." That night there was another message. Not from Kieran. From an unknown number. A photo. The prophecy book. And text: `Page 47. Read it. The Thorn must choose.` Ares pulled up page 47. There was a second verse. Underlined in red. "Only the death of the mate can break the thorns. Only the blood of love can free the crown."

Everyone was ready to see this monster gun but only a few knew that they could purchase it. Of course, the kings of this town were among those people, no outsiders dragged such a position with them, the best were always reserved for the owners of the city to avoid fights, it was like the royalties they earn from hosting this event, and the Scorpione family sat at the head of that food chain. “The time we have all been waiting for, Beloved brothers of the underworld, I present to you,” he uttered and then flipped off the wrapper.

Emery had once been here for her training missions and as she looked at the crowded and busy streets, it reminded her of how she drowned herself in training just to forget the pain from her mother’s death. The Thorine Kingdom was known for the gold and silver they mine which played a great role in the success of their economy. Not only that, but they also produce great teachers of martial arts and for that reason, the Arcana would send their students here to learn. When they reached the palace grounds, the two of them were greeted by the kingdom’s princess. Her brown chocolate hair color looked like it was glowing in dark red under the sun’s rays.
