The impossibly deep voice kept rumbling through Elizabeth’s head as she splashed through the damp cobblestone alley. Darting furtive glances around her, she hugged her shawl tighter. It seemed as though every shaded corner or dark alcove held those eyes.
Eyes like smoldering coals. That’s all she had seen that night. Two slanted lines seemingly ...
Surya stared at the bleeding man at her feet. She was tired of this; men trying to attack her. They always ended up dead. They always ended up in trouble. They needed to learn.
She walked away as fast as she could. She didn’t want to get caught up in this again. She knew that the police would be on her within the minute they saw this. They always showed up at her house.
Surya made her way to h...
