At Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, Lalia Azali hides more than most. She's not just a surgeon-she's this universe's Scarlet Witch, a title whispered with fear and awe, tied to a power she never wanted and a fate she can't outrun. Logan sees through the walls she's built. He's brutal, broken, and drawn to her in a way neither of them can explain. What begins as wary glances and sharp remarks slowly turns into something deeper-something dangerous. But when love threatens to unravel the control she's fought so hard to maintain, Lalia faces an impossible choice: protect the world from what she could become... or let herself fall for the one man who's already seen the worst in her-and stayed. { Wolverine x OC } -Ranked #1 under Hugh Jackman - All characters, locations, and elements from the X-Men universe are the property of Marvel Comics and their respective creators.
