But Leo wasn’t just strong—he was a force of nature, a storm that left ruin in its wake. This wasn’t just a battle of skill or strength.
This was a war of legacies.
Of wills.
Of whom was the biggest monster.
And that terrified me.
I clenched my fists and tried to steady my breathing.
What can I do?
I couldn’t just sit idly by at the battle while Lei fought for his life.
What would a monster do?
The question slithered into my mind, dark and unbidden. It wasn’t the kind of thought I would have let myself entertain before, but I wasn’t the same woman anymore. The Moni I used to be—the one who danced at the edges of this deadly world, unsure of her place in it—was gone.
Now, I was someone new.
Someone stronger.
Someone who had seen the other side of fear and survived.
A monster wouldn’t hesitate. A monster would do whatever it took to protect what was hers.
Once the woman snapped my strapless bra on in the back, I looked at the attendant near the laptop. “You said you’d do anything for me. Right?”
Her expression brightened. “Yes, Mountain Mistress.”
“Good.” I lowered my voice. “Then I need you to find something for me. Quietly. Without anyone else knowing.”
Her eyes widened slightly. “Of course. What do you need?”
“My two guns.”
She blinked, momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered.
The rest of the women working on my makeup exchanged glances.
She cleared her throat. “You want Kunlun’s Fangs?”
“Excuse me? What’s that?”
“That’s what many have called your guns.”
“But. . .why?”
“They say the gods of Kunlun gifted you the guns.”
I quirked my brows. “Who said that?”
“The news and others.”
“And. . .Kunlun is. . .?”
“Very important mountains.” She grinned.
