I got a taste of blood.
Tainted blood. Since that day I think about it often, wondering what it would be like to do it again—to drain worthless life with my own two hands. I shouldn't, but I do. When you were raised in Hell you take a piece with you when you leave. That nagging fire will always be just below the surface, smoldering embers ready to burn. I have a good life now, full of light, but it's too much light, and it's blinding. It makes me feel exposed. I want to run and hide in the shadows. Most days I feel like two different people, like sinner and saint, but both are in love with him. Things in our lives are too normal. I fell in love with a killer. I don't want him to change who he is. I want the man that took my heart hostage and still hasn't given it back. What I want is . . . the dark and the light.
I agreed to marry him. A lot has happened since then.
My best friend Delta found the happiness I always knew she deserved. We have a new addition to our little crime family, all bundled up in pink. She's perfect. And with a father like hers she doesn't stand a chance. Having two murderous men surrounding her she'll never see boys. One thing is guaranteed to come with babies—fever. And I'm sure as hell not the one that has it. I went through an internal hellfire that entire pregnancy, constant reminders of what I lost. And just when I'm finding peace with my new niece, the man I love fired a bullet my way.
He aimed straight for the heart.
My answer was no. Now we're fighting. The tension is high. Our relationship is strained. Problems arose. With one word I've been sentenced to Hell. I'm reliving every nightmare as if I'm trapped in the memories. I'm crumbling with every hit of his heartache. He shut off the light. It's said to be careful what you wish for. I'm afraid of the dark. He knows why I can't give him what he wants. My man wants a baby. I want revenge.
Question is—with two alphas, who'll back down first?
Note from the Author: Forever Marked is the continuation of Kaston and Lux's story, but it picks up after the end of Love and War: Volume Two, so please read those first.
