Volume 2 Description Lucid Veins: Rise of Zombies picks up where the first volume left off, as the survivors awaken in a shattered new reality. After crossing through the rift between parallel worlds, they find themselves in the heart of Delhi, India-a city teetering on the brink of collapse. Here, ancient streets collide with futuristic horrors. The sky churns with unnatural storms, and the undead rise in relentless waves. Haunted by fragments of their past identities, the characters must navigate this unfamiliar land, forging alliances with those who still cling to hope amid the chaos. As the infection spreads, their knowledge of other timelines may be the only key to stopping the extinction of humanity-and perhaps reclaiming what they lost when their world was torn apart.

I ran downstairs into the living room, my heart pounding as I found all my brothers gathered around Nefeli. Her eyes were frantic, scanning the room, desperately searching for me. The scream that bastard had let out earlier must have reached her... The moment our eyes met, she practically threw herself at me, wrapping her arms around me so tightly I could barely breathe. I stood frozen for a moment, unsure of what to do. I hugged her back anyway... Even though I had no idea what was going on. "Thank God you're safe" she murmured in my ear, her voice trembling, leaving me even more confused. I glanced at my brothers. They all looked just as lost as I was. Except for Aiden and Alex. They were motioning for me to hold on. "Of course I'm okay, Nefeli. What happened?" I asked, my heart tightening. I hated seeing her like this, so worried and panicked. "I-I heard Alex and Aiden talking in Italian!" she stammered, her eyes wide with panic. "They said something about the Mafia! Are we being threatened by the Mafia?" Her voice cracked, and tears threatened to spill from her brown eyes. The room fell silent for a moment. My brothers exchanged looks, and then, without warning, we all burst into laughter. Nefeli stared at us, completely confused. Cole, finally calming down, wiped his eyes and looked at her with a smile. "Love" he said, his voice smooth, "we're not being threatened by the Mafia." he let the words settle in the air for a second. "We are the Mafia." • • • _______________________________________________________ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️ Mentions of abuse, violence, harsh language, bad mental health, and light depression!

Professor x Student Yuvraj × Ishani 28 x 23 She agreed to marry a stranger to pay off her father's debt-never imagining she'd be widowed before the day ended. Ishani is just 23, with dreams barely begun and a future already bargained away. When her husband dies at the mandap, the whispers begin. Shame, blame, and society's judgment come crashing down. But one man steps forward. Yuvraj Singh Rathore-her 28-year-old professor, the silent observer she never really saw-takes her hand again that day, marrying the widow to shield her from a world that's too cruel to care. They are nothing alike. She's fire and quiet. He's calm and distant. What begins as duty slowly melts into something, neither expected-a quiet companionship, a deep understanding, and maybe... love. But love isn't always easy. Especially when it wasn't part of the plan. "She lost her groom. He gave her a name. One sacred fire, two marriages-bound by duty, tested by fate... but can protection turn into love?" "Not every marriage starts with love-but some end in it."
