, because on her arm was the injury scar from the pit bull attack and on her waist the scar of the tiger scratch… THE GIRL WITH FIRE BONES…

“From what I heard from some of the victims, it seems a woman started the fire.” “A woman?” I asked, raising my brows. “So, it wasn’t Bane?” “Nobody seems to remember seeing him. But they do remember a woman in a red cloak. Some called her the woman of fire. Because the fire never touched her.” So, the fire was started by someone with abilities. A woman who has the ability to manipulate fire. My skin crawled just thinking about it. “Do they remember what she looked like?” I asked, peering up at Gavin with obvious worry in my eyes.

The Emperor helps Brixtius rise back up and keeps speaking, "My old friend! Are you enjoying Pompeii?" "Yes, my lord!" Brixtius replies jovially. Now, I can't tell if Brixtius is just kissing the Emperor's ass or is happy to see a "friend." I hope it is the latter. Because Brixtius's character has gone up a few more notches in my book. Maybe I can convince about the slave's tags? "And who might this lovely, young woman be?" I catch the Emperor glancing at me. "My lord, I present, Lady Jessa," Brixtius answers. Lady?

But neither did I retreat. "I'm just saying," I muttered instead, not in the mood to argue with him. I pushed past him, "if she's half as deadly as she's classy, we're all fucked. "And if you mess this up," he bellowed after me, "you'll be the one to ruin the last hope this company has." I didn't answer him. But I knew what I saw in that woman's eyes, and it wasn't just “intelligence”. It was a calculating edge. And something colder.

It was the Nine Light Holy Fire! The ground started to spurt fire as well. It was an inferno! Divine Order's Flame and Ground Fire intermingled to burn the entire army of the Zago race in a sea of fire. The mysterious woman was filled with pain. Black smoke wafted into the air, and her true form appeared.

“Look at you. Why are you always so stubborn? Us women have to learn how to be submissive at times to be able to control men’s hearts.” I gave her the side-eye and said coolly but maliciously, “Is that how you seduce men? Sorry, I can’t do it.” Joy was stunned, and her beautiful features turned savage. “Alania, I’m doing this for your sake! I know Jeremy better than you do! If you don’t do as he says, you’ll end up with nothing at all! “I’ll pass him your message. I have something else to do. Goodbye.” Joy left after saying that. Her tense back showed that she had lost her composure and was furious.

They wanted the story of a woman who had burned in fire and been consumed. They didn’t get it. I was not a victim. I was not a casualty. I was the survivor. I moved through the crowd, shaking hands, exchanging smiles, careful to keep my professional poise intact. Everyone saw the polished woman, the capable leader, the brilliant strategist. No one saw the nights I had cried alone. No one saw the days I had fought back nausea while meeting impossible deadlines. No one saw the fire Zane had ignited in me—the fire I had learned to control instead of succumb to.

She loved photography. Painting. He called it all pointless. Locked her camera and brushes away like they meant nothing. She was losing it. Still, she forced herself to learn his rules—trained herself into the perfect Mrs. Joubert. Even after she dulled her claws, someone took a shot at her at a banquet. She snapped. Lunged. Ended up fighting a whole group of women. Damian walked in to whispers and hungry stares. He didn't back her up. Not even close. He turned to the woman who started it, calm as ever.

“That woman’s fire isn’t something you can control. She would have been controlled by others, but you heard the stories, you heard what she is capable of doing. If you keep provoking her, she’ll burn through everything you’ve built. And when Liam comes, because you and I both know he will, she’ll be the one who brings the war straight to your door. And you are going to allow it because you’re drawing the path for that to happen.” I raised an eyebrow, savoring her words as if they were a fine wine. “So dramatic. For my sister, my mother’s daughter, you really do forget who you are speaking to or even dealing with. Liam is the least of my concerns, and the last thing that I am going to do is f

The lighter sparked. The fire didn't just burn; it roared. The lilies curled into black claws. The check melted into a gray sludge. The scent of burning money was acrid, metallic, and beautiful. “I left everything once, Adrian,” she hissed into the smoke. “I’ll burn the whole world down before I let you buy a single breath of this child.” *** Adrian Wolfe didn't move. He stared at the drone feed on his laptop. The high-definition thermal imaging showed the heat signature of the fire—and the silhouette of the woman he’d lost standing next to a man who looked like he’d die for her.
