Mia Acknowledgments Resources Keep in Touch About Author Also By A Note from A.L Maruga Hello, my lovelies, This book is the second book in the Casbury Prep series. You would have had to have read Reign of the Queen for this to make any sense. This series follows a reverse harem of characters filled with possessive and destructive tendencies, supercharged emotions, and controlling alpha-aholes that can’t seem to help themselves. All characters are over the age of eighteen, and none are blood-related. Please note that this book ends on a cliffhanger, but book three will follow it shortly. If you read book one, you know my little black heart left you malignant little treats throughout that book. If you thought I couldn’t get any darker, hold on to your hearts, we are about to go down a dark, spiraling path of destruction and chaos. One that I hope you return from intact. This is an adult, dark romance and is strictly a work of fiction. I do not condone or approve of any behavior, actions, or scenarios that take place between these characters. This book is intended for 18+ only. Many potential triggers are waiting to rush forward and bring you to your knees in this book. Please, for your sanity and mental health, heed my warning. I have placed international resources at the end of the book for those that may need them. Content in this work may contain graphic scenes of physical, sexual, and/or emotional abuse, captivity, human trafficking, rape, sexual assault, consensual, non-consent, and dubious consent. If these may be triggers,, don’t walk, run away from this book. It may also contain scenes of violence, pain, primal behavior, suicidal thoughts, struggles with mental health issues, BDSM, sexual manipulation, corruption, depravity, breath play, knife play, bullying, and blood play. If any of these may be triggers for you...go no further. This is not the book for you. There will be explicit profanity throughout the pages of this book. The characters are unreasonable, morally questionable, and lack self-preservation at times. If that will cause you distress, this is not the book for you. I am not the author for you. Dedication Dedication For all the dark malevolent queens that know how to throw a punch, but also know how to fall to their knees at “You’re my dirty, good girl.” This one's for you. Author's Quote Nothing would break her, and bring her to her knees, more than her own heart. A.L. Maruga Introduction I should have known never to have let my rage and need for revenge fester, leading me down a dark path of no return. They say the devil was actually God’s favorite, a fallen angel who would not obey his master’s commands and strayed from his intended path. It looks like Lucifer and I may be kindred spirits in that regard. I too, cannot be controlled, it seems, regardless of the consequences. Who am I now? Am I the villain in the darkness waiting to take a life? Am I the conqueror ready to decimate a kingdom? Perhaps I’m the pawn being played in a game of my own making. I came back to Casbury with a yearning for violence and vengeance that would not be appeased unless the blood of my enemies was spilled at my feet. I wanted to bathe in it, finally satisfied that my retribution was at hand. I never realized, until this moment, that I am my own worst enemy. The monster inside of me requires death and destruction, and I have kept her fed with juicy morsels. Who will bleed me when all of this is at an end? There are no fairy tale endings here. No prince on a white horse is coming to save the maiden princess for kingdom and glory. There is only destruction and darkness that consumes you like a malignant force unabated by violence. I came to conquer. I reached for vengeance and, in the process, lost my damn mind and my fucking heart. You would think that would be the end, that love always wins. This was never meant for a happily ever after. The villain won’t go down without a fight. Do you understand me a little more? Perhaps you disagree with my choices. Are
