"The Luna Duel, throughout history, has been rare—so any statistics on winning strategies would be inconclusive."
I felt my heart sink in my chest as I sat with the information. My trust in Vladimir had waned, my paranoia sharpening into something that had been needling me from the moment he let his true feelings about me be known.
My life was the one on the line. Not his.

I was one in a litter of hybrids the world puked out ever so rarely.
He could replace me—find someone with more promise, more utility for his plans—once I was dead.
My goals and motivations were of no use to him. Especially not now, when I had become an emotional burden in his life. In his home.
Her perfume…
I clenched my eyes shut as the incomplete bond coiled painfully, no longer confined to my chest. Its ebbing ache threaded through every part of me—through muscle and marrow, thought and breath.
