Smoke, Silk and Shadows

Dear Blood Family,I loved writing this chapter because it gave Sasha something she hasn't had in a very long time—peace.For a few hours, there were no enemies, no power struggles, no prison walls, and no underworld politics. Just a mother learning her son, a family sharing laughter, and a home slowly finding its heartbeat again.But if you've been paying attention, you'll notice something important:Sasha may be healing...but Sasha is also watching.Ghost still doesn't know she's home.He doesn't know she's studying every move.And he definitely doesn't know she's already standing in the shadows of what he believes belongs to him.The calm won't last forever.Thank you for reading, voting, commenting, and supporting Echoes of Blood. Your reactions keep me motivated to bring this story to life.Now tell me...If you were Sasha, would you confront Ghost immediately, or would you make him comfortable first and then strike?Until next chapter,The fire is patient.And patient fires burn t
