Scars bind. Love heals. Blood makes family. I used to think survival was enough. I was wrong. We’re still hunting for my sister, still tearing down the empire built on stolen lives.
Every step brings danger, every victory comes at a cost. The men who saved me—my protectors, my lovers, my family—have shown me what it means to be cherished, to be wanted, to be loved.
I’ve saved them as much as they’ve saved me, and I know one truth: they will always come for me. Now the past, the darkness, and the fight for justice demand everything we are. I’ve found my courage.
I’ve found my fire. I dare the world to take them from me.
