WARNING: MATURE CONTENT🔞 "You were mine the moment you tried to understand me, Dimitri-every thought, every breath, bound to me. And no matter how hard you fight it, you'll always crave the darkness I pulled you into." The world watched in collective disbelief as the notorious serial killer, Thanatos, walked into a police station one cool September morning and surrendered. The infamous murderer, whose body count had surpassed a hundred, had brought nations to their knees with fear, causing parents to hold their children closer and cities to lock their doors at night. His sudden surrender was met with a mixture of shock and relief. Finally, the nightmare was over or so the world thought. But the man known as Thanatos, Kian Orlov, did not speak a word following his arrest. His silence was deafening, leaving investigators grasping at straws and the media scrambling for answers. With no confession and no clues, the case threatened to crumble, a shadow of its former terror lingering just beneath the surface. The authorities were desperate, knowing that without answers, the fear could easily return. In a last-ditch effort to crack the case, they called upon the world's most renowned criminal psychologist, Dimitri Romano. Known for his ability to delve into the darkest minds and emerge with the truth, Dimitri had faced monsters of all kinds but never had he encountered a case like this, nor a man like Kian. A criminal and a psychologist. A love story full of possession and power, pain and anguish, infatuation and passion. The borderline between reality and fantasy, between good and evil. What is their love if not forbidden? In the shadows of obsession and sin, their bond is as dangerous as it is inescapable.

But things only escalate from there when he moves back to the town he was born in, especially when he runs into - or falls on - a ridiculously attractive but mysterious guy who seems absolutely appalled by the idea of bonding with other humans. With Khai's luck, he's probably straight, too. Probably. Hopefully he'll become someone Khai can confide in when he learns the person he's closest to is withholding important information from him. Information that could drastically change his life as he knows it.
