All his life, Ernest Aurelio Marquez was raised for one purpose- to fulfill The Hunter's Oath: the eradication of the Evryn bloodline. Naevia Evryn was supposed to be dead. Hidden in the human world as a child, she grew up unloved, unaware of the power she carried within. But when Ernest finds her, he recognizes the truth-the girl he was sworn to kill is the last heir of the Evryn. His blade should have ended her life. Instead, his heart betrays him. Now hunted by his own clan, Ernest must protect the girl whose very existence curses him. And when Naevia's powers awaken, the oath that once bound him may become the very thing that destroys them both.

Before everything fell apart, there was a friend group. Four lovely kids, now teenagers, who thought that friendship was forever, but that "friendship" has now turned to "strangers". Since kindergarten, they started as Friends, and later turned into best friends. They shared lunches, played together, shared stories, and did many more. They believe that growing up wouldn't change anything. But they were wrong. Time does not shout when it takes your favorite people/person away. It's quiet. It starts with unread messages, ignored conversations, and then silence. And by the time you realize it, the people who once knew you as a best friend have become strangers with familiar faces. This isn't just a story about heartbreak or betrayal It's also bout the kind of friendship that shapes who you are and what happens when it breaks. Because sometimes, the hardest part of growing up is realizing that not everyone who started their own fun story was meant to stay until the end. Written by: griffinthereader
