A/N and POEM
Author note:
Previous title The Alpha and His Rouge Assassin. THE ROUGE IS NOT A TYPO. The people of City of Corpses chose the nickname 'Rouge Assassin' because of Scarlett's red hair. No. It's never meant to be 'Rogue Assassin'. Yes. I know the difference between ROUGE and ROGUE. And would I ever change the title in the future? Maybe.
It's my characters' personal creative choice and those people did have cuckoo brains since City of Corpses is a very shady city to live in so... what can I do?
That being said, thank you for taking a chance on this story. Hope you like the characters here as much as I do to develop them. Hope the plot in this story can let you forget whatever you want to forget even for just a while.
P.S. This is the second story from the Dawnless Sisters series BUTT you can read this book as a stand-alone. If you have read Lyria's book and only want to know how Scarlett's story will converge with Lyria, go to chapter 85 until the end.
And this book will also intertwine with The Emperor's Black Swan (still free until completion) starting from chapter 77 :)
***
At dawn,
A heart was torn
She realized love was a pawn
Before the day turned to morn’
No time to fawn
She must sing free her life’s lorn
At dawn,
She ran to the dark
The cold has grown
To make a mark of her own
She must be crowned
Dear, hide your frown
Hide your sorrow
Let your secrets drown
In the death town
At dawn,
Her hair flared against the night
Her eyes shone through the sand
A fire, a light
A destroyer of man
A red dot under the stars
Lovely, but full of scars
At dawn,
She would charm
She would fight
She would take revenge
She would bring fright
At dawn,
She is dawnless.
