HE would know loss this time around.

Then HIS Sophi arrived, and new opportunities came into play.
I purposefully gained her trust after Joe brutally lashed her. I used her, to set the captives of hades free, to obtain allies. Sophi would hold the keys to the kingdoms, because of me.

Oh... I wanted her, but Sophi's heart was not my main agenda. She was not my obsession like she was HIS. I often imagined all the things I would do to her with the skills and abilities I still maintained. Sophi would be a fine tool to torture HIM with!

Years ago, after Sophi's second excursion with Bloody Bill, my reaper friend, I was able to download Sophi's entire life until that point from Bill.

I knew everything that went on in that pretty little head of hers. Her life story, memories, and Sophia's secrets. Even her desire for HIM. That was easy enough to replace. I would supplant all those memories.
I'd controlled some of Sophi's thoughts when she infiltrated our camp a few years back. After Joe's unfortunate lashing of her, I could feel her pain, keenly.

Did I want Sophi hurt? No, not really. I admit I'd rather see her in comfort. I actually admired all her ignorance, it made her more... pliable.
Would I take advantage of that naivete? One hundred percent. Sophi was a very delightful girl in every way. I would enjoy every moment to the fullest.

I wouldn't stifle Sophia Marie's adventurous side as HE had though. I would encourage it, foster it, and if possible, teach her how to use it in darker ways.

If we had a son, I would raise him as my own.

The other sectors of our region... the Village, and the Shadowlands all had great love and respect for her selfless offerings. I admired that too. I was the one who put those sacrifices in motion. However, I could only hope to gain such loyalty.

If you were a young adult during the days of Daenerys Targaryen, Game of Thrones, The Vikings, Hunger Games, Divergent... maybe a little Twilight... this series might be of interest... man or woman. Just know between Book II through IV contains far more steamy, even dangerous, romance.
