MMDemers
She was trained to be a weapon. He was trained not to care. Neither was prepared for what happened when they found each other.
Elena Watts has spent years burying the woman she used to be.
Now known only as Wolf, she is one of the most lethal snipers in the field. Precise, ruthless, and controlled. She doesn't hesitate. She doesn't miss. And she never lets anyone close enough to see what lies beneath the mask.
When she's transferred into Task Force 141, she expects suspicion and resistance. She doesn't expect Simon "Ghost" Riley.
Ghost doesn't trust easily. He keeps the world at a distance behind a skull mask and lives by one unbreakable rule:
Attachments get people killed.
Elena challenges every part of that rule.
Their relationship begins with sharp words, reluctant respect, and the dangerous tension of two broken soldiers who recognize the same darkness in each other. On the field they become a perfect pair. She watches his back from the shadows, and he becomes the one man who makes sure she always comes home.
But the closer they get, the harder it becomes for Elena to keep her past buried. Because before she was the Wolf.. before she was Elena Watts.. she was Elena Waters.
Someone remembers exactly who she was.
Volkov helped create the weapon she became. He knows every scar, every conditioned response, every secret she carries. When he resurfaces, he doesn't just want her dead. He wants his weapon back.
As 141 is pulled into a deadly game of deception and psychological warfare, Elena's past bleeds into the present. Loyalty is questioned. Secrets surface. And Ghost is forced to face the one thing he has spent his entire life running from:
Caring enough about someone that losing them would destroy him.
Because on the battlefield, bullets aren't the only things that kill. Secrets can. Trust can. And love...
Love is the worst.
When the Wolf finally comes face-to-face with the man who made her, Elena will have to decide who she really belongs to.
