Blood and Iron

A Short Story by Oryxia Bluebelle

War has stolen everything except duty.

Commander Elias Thorne has earned a legendary reputation on the battlefield by surviving impossible odds, leading from the front, and sacrificing everything for victory. Every scar tells the story of another battle won—and another piece of himself left behind.

Captain Sarah Jenkins has spent months patching him back together.

She knows his body better than anyone.

She also knows one day she may not be able to save him.

When a devastating attack leaves them trapped behind enemy lines with death closing in from every direction, years of restraint finally shatter. Beneath collapsing walls and echoing artillery, two soldiers are forced to confront the truth they've buried beneath discipline, loyalty, and war.

But in a place where every heartbeat could be their last, love becomes as dangerous as the battlefield itself.
