There once was a sicko who lurked in the mist. He preyed on my soul baring a closed iron fist. His stare made me itch while his eyes locked me under his spell. But taking his hand may be my only escape from this hell.
I know what she did. I know all her secrets, but now, they’re mine to keep. Fuck the oaths and fuck the promises. My only mission from here on out is to protect the girl who will one day be mine.

know he’s there—he’s always there. Hello, consequences, my old friend. If only you’d show your face and punish me for the life I had to end. Maybe then I’d feel remorse or even empathy. Until then I’ll hide in the darkness of my insanity.
One day she will proudly wear my crown, even if it’s drenched in the blood of the men I’ve killed for her.

“You’ve moved me more than any human can ever move another. That’s not something I’m willing to let go of. Not in this lifetime, and not in the next.”
Lifting my head slightly, I look at Scar. “He might be a sicko, but he’s a sicko who would move heaven and earth for me.”

I’ve always known I feel things too deeply and love too hard. But it’s not just Riley. I love my boys, too. A life alone is not a life worth living, and I can’t imagine doing it without her, or them. My happiness is in the back seat, and they’re all riding shotgun.
