You can't force love, I realised. It's there or it isn't. If it's not there, you've got to be able to admit it. If it is there, you've got to do whatever it takes to protect the ones you love.

-Richelle Mead, Frostbite

Thank you for taking the time to read this story. While reading it, please remember that it is a fictitious story. I will try to stick as close to the facts as possible but since this is an imaginative story, there may be certain parts that I will have to "cook up".

Please don't start pointing them out. I know they aren't real. Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated. Remember, I'm always a DM away!

[lowercase chapter titles intended. this does not mean that i do not know my grammar. it is just for aesthetic purposes.]

[the characters on the cover and banners are only for my happiness. they are completely different from the ocs' actual facial features.]

[please do not, and i mean this, do not spoil the ending or give away clues. i will hunt you down and shoot you with my rainbow coloured toy pistol. you do not want to try me.]
