Snap.
Your wrist yanked back hard, your bracelet tangling straight into the dark, woven cuff of a tall stranger passing through the crowded market.
Panic flared in your chest. You violently jerked your hand free—snapping the delicate chain—and turned to bolt into the shadowy alleyway. But as your hood shifted, your eyes briefly caught his face.
Wait... white hair, silver eyes, a single black diamond earring? He looks just like—
...Okay, hold on. How did you even end up in a situation this insane?
To understand why you were wearing a giant black cloak, dodging people in an alpine town square, and running for your life, you have to go back a few days. Two days ago, your abusive parents dropped a bomb on you: they were marrying you off to some slimy, rich nobleman. When you refused, they locked you away without a single scrap of food. Starved, desperate, and done with their cruelty, you broke out, swiped a heavy pouch of gold from your parents' secret stash, and ran into the night.
And now, here you were—famished, exhausted, and desperately trying to vanish into the crowd.
Except... you didn't vanish fast enough.
