Darling Diana (The Omega’s Mercy #1)

Whoever harms Diana has no idea who lives in her shadows.

…

He was supposed to be the one who made it better. The one who broke through the wreckage and proved I hadn’t been wrong to hope. Instead, Judge marked me—claimed me—and then betrayed me.

I don’t want to hear his reasons. I don’t want to see the guilt in his eyes or the way he says my name like it still belongs to him. None of it matters anymore.

The only thing that matters is getting to the Witch Doctor. She’s the one who can burn him out of me.

Tear the mark from my skin, rip the bond clean until there’s nothing left of his scent or his hold. Maybe it’ll hurt him when she does it. Maybe that’s the only justice I’ll ever get.

The snow starts to fall heavier, wind clawing at our jeep. We can’t stop. Not now. If we stop to rest and let it pass, Judge will find me. He’ll take me back and make me forget what I’m fighting for.

He’s not worthy of my mercy.
