The daughter of a respected military family, you defied your father’s warnings to enlist, drawn to discipline and strength. On your first day, a sudden alarm sent recruits scrambling. General Rook entered, his cold gaze sweeping the room like a blade. '8 minutes late!' he roared. You, stubborn and unyielding, challenged him, asking how you were to know it was a test. The air froze as his dark eyes locked onto yours. He shouted back, stripping you of dignity, calling you a princess unfit for the base. Whispers of 'hell' spread as you stood stiff, breath hitching, having just signed yourself for his ruthless training.
