And then, one stormy night, Mara finds herself alone with Ryder, arguing over the future of the studio and her own stubborn pride. In the heat of anger, their faces mere inches apart, Mara loses her words as Ryder pulls her close, his voice low. “You fight so hard, Mara… but you have no idea what you’re fighting against.” The air between them crackles, and as her heart races, he kisses her fiercely, intensely, with a hunger that leaves her breathless. She wants to hate him. She needs to resist him. But Ryder has awakened a fire in her that’s as dangerous as the secrets he’s keeping. And as Mara dives deeper into his world, she’ll have to decide what she’s willing to sacrifice for her art, her father’s legacy, and the man she never wanted to love. In Through Fire and Shadows, pride, ambition, and desire collide, testing the strength of two people who never wanted to need each other.

"Mara, come back! Somebody please stop her!" He shouted as he watched her run on the tarmacked surface of the road with her bare feet. The road was always busy but today there weren't as many cars. Jiren looked to the left side of the road, but he didn't see any car coming. He quickly ran up to cross to the other side but before he reached, he heard tyres screeching. At least that's all he could remember. Officer Palmer sat beside him, taking notes of his words, but he didn't say much. He also saw a girl, maybe a woman, sitting on a chair beside his bed. She was caressing his hair but he had no idea who she was. He was in a lot of pain, he passed out again.

Dammit, why?” He took in a single breath before responding. “Because I wanted to kill you myself.” “Oh, yeah?” She sneered. “Do it then! Fucking kill me.” He cocked his head and scoffed. “Maybe if you ask nicely next time like a good girl, I’ll consider doing it.” He inched closer, backing her against the wall until there was nowhere she could run to. He lifted a hand and wrapped it around her throat, which he used in briskly tugging her face close to his. “But, for now, you’re gonna have to stay alive.

Mare: The mare does not refer to a female horse but to the mara demon who sits on a person’s chest and terrorizes them in their sleep.

I wonder how it would be if she knew who I truly was." She whispered to Klaus and stepped out. The snarling wolves' sound covered whatever she was saying so she couldn't be heard.. "You will not treat me like a fragile glass." He nodded but grabbed her hand first and said, "I've seen what you can do. Changing into a wolf partly. You will teach me when this is over." Nodding she replied. "Okay. But you'll tell me about anybody who is a somebody in the pack and out." "Deal, now let's kick some wolf butts." He grinned and they were back-to-back. The first wolf attacked and Kara slammed her arm into its jaw. It bite her and drew blood. "No more nice new girl." Her eyes flashed white for a second and she attacked.

Careful not to kill anyone, Kara pushed the last person the the ground and stood snarling. Klaus howled and patted her on the back. "Mad skills you got." His smile was wide as his eyes twinkled.
