Wren - The night I lost him, everything I cherished turned into ashes along with that fire, swallowed by the inferno that scarred my heart and mind. I became who they call 'The Queen of Darkness', mimicking the love of my life, Arlo Hayes, lost in the abyss of trauma and hatred. Now, as he stands before me, the happiness I should feel wars with the despair that has settled deep within me. Haunting memories, vengeance and deceit grip me tightly, their tendrils choking my every thought, while depression weighs heavily on my soul. I fear the lightness I once held in my heart may never return, and I dread our darkness will consume us both without it, even if he vows to mend me. Arlo - I'm back, ready to wreak havoc, vengeance coursing through my icy veins for those who tore me from my family. But before I unleash my fury, I need to make up for the lost time and the hearts left shattered. My beacon of light has been consumed by the shadows, but I will heal her just as she once healed me. Despite her transformation, we will now be an unstoppable force and together, we'll become a hurricane of violence and passion. She may have kept my throne warm, but my queen will stand strong alongside me with her heart restored and her head held high. The darkness will tremble in our fucking presence once I'm finished. Her inner light will blaze again, yet more brighter than ever before and everyone who deceived us will feel the full force of our wrath.
