CLAIM 

You cant kill a dead man twice.
Ive hidden behind a mask for long enough. Six years to be exact.
My scars are the agonizing reminder of the failures of my past. They represent the evil that lies beneath them.
Ive always been the one in charge, but now Im a ghost.
And there are benefits to that… I can take what I want, or who I want.
Starting with her.
The woman whose past crosses with my own.
Ive been her secret protector, now I must save her from the man who almost destroyed me.
My father.
But the woman Im rescuing is no damsel in distress. She was made to raise hell and take no prisoners.
The moment she falls from that window in her bid for escape, I know she is going to be the death of me.
And what a beautiful way to go…
It was written in the stars long before we met that she will become my wife.
She is mine to claim, to love, and to protect against the cruel world that we live in.
Even when she sees my demons, she wants to dance in the rain with them.
She dives into the depths of my soul and captures my heart and in return, she gives me a future, something I never thought possible.
She is my iskorka, my spark, the one that I need to burn the world down to get my revenge.
They can all try their hardest to tear us apart, but her love for me is just as ferocious as mine for her.
Im prepared to risk it all, down to my last breath.
I just hope this time, I come out alive to prove to her I am a monster worthy of her love.
