Khalid & Shazi; The Wrath & The Dawn

As she strode onto the dais, she looked up at him, refusing to balk, even in the face of her king.      The wrath seethed below the surface, bringing a flush to her cheeks.      “Wife.” He nodded.      “My king.”      I will live to see tomorrow’s sunset. Make no mistake. I swear I will live to see as many sunsets as it takes.      And I will kill you.      With my own hands.
