A phoenix's blood is priceless. One taste transforms into a drug, a cure, and, unfortunately, an addiction that can unleash the ferocious and wild sides of even the purest being.

Betrothed To The Night

"Executed?" Eleanor asked, her voice heavy, piercing through the silence that followed immediately he ended his words.

The room's attention shifted to her, Ares included, as her calm facade cracked open by the fury burning in her eyes.

Anthonia spoke up, her smile dripping with haughtiness, "So you think the King's decision is wrong?" Her words goaded Eleanor, who seethed with anger.

"Your death has been announced, accept it," she continued, her voice sugary sweet. "Look on the bright side, you'll reunite with your kind."
