Part 1

❄️ **My Brother Orchestrated a Forced Marriage and Sent Enforcers After Her — But She Fled Straight To Me.**

Leo Vance simply tried to clear his isolated cabin’s snow-choked path. An hour later, he discovered a bleeding woman huddled inside his old hunting shack. She whispered she was fleeing a forced marriage from the very cult his brother ran.

The woman, Elara Reed, shivered violently, clutching her arm. Snowflakes clung to her dark hair as she tried to warm herself.

“He sent them after me,” she choked out, her voice barely audible over the wind’s howl.

Leo knelt, trying to make sense of her terrified words. “Who sent them?”

Elara finally looked up, her eyes wide with raw terror. “Elias Vance. Your brother. The Sacred Order of Unity.”

She explained that the forced marriage wasn’t an ancient tradition. It was a new edict from Elias himself, designed to absorb her family’s dwindling land.

Leo’s gut twisted with a sickening feeling. Elias, always charismatic, was now revealing a truly cruel side.

His own brother, the cult leader, had orchestrated this brutal decree. Elara’s fear was a cold, tangible thing in the small shack.

He looked at her bruised face, at the desperate plea in her eyes. He knew, with absolute certainty, that helping her meant declaring war on Elias.

He realized Elias would send his ruthless enforcers after her.

Part 2

I would help her. We left the shack, fighting against the blizzard, sinking knee-deep in fresh powder. Every step was a brutal effort.

The wind howled, burying our tracks as fast as we made them. We aimed for the old logging trail, hoping to make better time.

Suddenly, a beam of light cut through the swirling snow, followed by low voices. We ducked behind a thick pine, my heart hammering.

Elara pulled back, her eyes wide with fresh terror.

“It’s Jedediah Stone,” she whispered, her voice trembling.

“And the others. Elias’s enforcers.”

My suspicions hardened into cold certainty. Elias wasn’t just directing this; he had sent his most ruthless men to drag her back. We were caught between the storm and Elias’s hunters, vulnerable in the vast, unforgiving wilderness with no immediate help in sight.
