She floats at my periphery, sweet and innocent, nothing like the life I’m accustomed to. I can’t help but watch her, follow her, love her from afar. Even though I know I shouldn’t.
But to keep her safe, Ill make her my wife, regardless of whether she wants it or not. Our marriage may be arranged, but my ring on her finger will serve as protection from this dangerous life.
I already know my path, and it’s a dark one. The family reign that I’m to take over will always be dangerous. But the closer I get to Tova the more I realize she’s the only light to the darkness that cloaks me.
Watching her may have been my initial plan, but loving her is now why I live. The only thing is, I’d give my life for my family but I won’t give hers.
