They were split apart as children. Reunited by force. Bound by secrets no one dares to name. At seven, Elisha was dropped into the foster care system, cold beds, colder hands, cut off from her twin sister and older brothers without explanation. Aurora stayed behind, raised by a mother who sold her body and a stepfather who promised to come back and never did. Eight years pass. The brothers return, dragging both girls into a home that barely feels like theirs. But this isn't a reunion, it's a collision. Elisha hides her trauma behind silence and sharpened edges, a hidden fire in her. Aurora masks hers with perfection, hunger, and a constant need to be chosen. Neither of them talks about the past. Neither of them knows how. Love simmers in forbidden places. Truths unravel in dangerous ways. And while the family tries to rebuild, they do so blindly, each of them hiding pieces of the story that might save the others, or destroy them. This isn't about healing. It's about surviving what no one else sees and what happens when survival isn't enough. Until everyone perishes. *Includes a good amount of smut. (MAJOR PLOT TWISTS) *************************************************** * MAJOR TRIGGER WARNING. * Rape.Abuse.Suicide.Death.Violence.Psychotic. Killing. Obsession. Deranged thoughts. * There will not be any warnings before triggers appear in the book. You have been warned.

Trapped in a broken home filled with cruelty and violence, every day has been a battle against the monsters she was forced to call family.

Whisked away to a sprawling manor in New York, she's thrown into a new life with six mysterious older brothers she's never met, secrets buried in every corner, and danger that feels strangely familiar. As Aurora tries to rebuild, she begins to worry if the past is truly behind her, or if something even darker has been waiting all along. Meek, quiet, and resilient, Aurora is done merely surviving. She's ready to live and claim her new life as more than Ephemeral. Even if it kills her. ִֶָ 𓂃˖˳·˖ ִֶָ ⋆★⋆ ִֶָ˖·˳˖𓂃 ִֶָ ⏾ The first couple chapters are short but get longer as you go.

They were her sentinels, her saviors, the reason that she refuses to let her past consume her. 𝐆𝐈𝐔𝐋𝐈𝐀 𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐎, a young girl who's never known stability. Raised by a reckless, unstable mother, she spent her childhood caught between drug runs and police raids, ruining her right for a normal childhood. One night when her mother goes missing, Giulia's whole life changes... again. Will being under the guardianship of her new older brothers give her a chance at normalcy in her life or will they cause even more mess than before? Healing isn't easy and trust doesn't come free. ☆ ☆ ☆ As I lied there in the hospital bed with a pounding headache, practically suffocating me while barely conscious, I heard that familiar, raspy, deep, sleep deprived voice that I've recently come to find comfort in. "Nessuno oserà toccarti di nuovo senza perdere le mani, amore," they whispered. (No one will dare touch you again without losing their hands, love.) I felt two hands hold my face with a soft kiss on my forehead. Their rough and large hands a contrast to their gentleness. The comforter over me shuffled as the familiar person brought them up to my chin and tucked me in. "Riposati ora sei al sicuro, bambina," they murmured, stroking my hair. Before I knew it, simply the presence of them reassured me as I felt myself drift off again into a deep sleep. (Rest now, you're safe, baby). ☆ ☆ ☆ 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄 (noun): a state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts; a daydream.

The moment she entered her stepfamilies' home, everything changed. Her five stepbrothers never wanted her there. She could see it in their eyes, in their silence, in the way their smiles faded whenever she walked into a room. They were close, bonded, protective of each other... and she was the outsider who didn't belong in their world. Little things piled up-cold shoulders, ignored conversations, blame for mistakes she never made, comments that cut deeper than they realized. She tried to be good, to be patient, to prove she wasn't the enemy they imagined her to be. But no matter what she did, she was always the problem. The disruption. The unwanted addition. Her parents were happy-blinded by love, trying to balance two families. They didn't see how she shrank a little more every day. But time softens eyes. Distance reveals truths. And one day, her stepfamily begins to realize the damage they caused-not through a single moment, but through every moment they never gave her. Through the love they withheld. Through the family they built without ever opening a space for her. Now, they want to change things. To understand her. To rebuild what never had the chance to grow. To become the family they should have been. But healing takes time. Forgiveness takes courage. And rebuilding a family takes all of them. Can they earn her trust? Can she learn to believe in them? And can a family built on hurt find its way to love at last? ────────── 𓆩♡𓆪 ──────────
