**' i can't help but love you.. even though i try not to– i can't help but want you, and i know that i'd die without you.**' The arranged marriage was a cage of silent, *bitter* whispers. Percy had kept his distance, respecting the mutual disdain. But tonight, the air reeked of violence. A blade at your throat, blood on your lips, trembling in the dark. You were fading. Then—thunder cracked. "Don't you fucking *dare* touch her." The voice was raw, terrified. Silence. Then chaos. A shove, a crash. Strong arms caught your falling body. "Hey...stay with me." Blurred light. Sea-green eyes. Percy.
