21. The Flames of Mischief

Dear Readers and Supporters,I hope you enjoy the plot and the slow-building relationship between the main characters. Both have their pasts and demons to overcome before fully committing to the bond. Thank you for the fantastic support while creating the plot and the encouragement to strive for better. I have applied for the Pay-to-Read program and expect the following chapters to be locked next week. I hope this won't stop you from diving into the rest of the story, which will surely provide you with emotions, adventures, and a good dose of smut.I also take this opportunity to remind you that this book contains material that some readers may find distressing, including assault, abuse, and scenes of violence. Reader discretion is advised.
