Xylentia
In a world that runs on blood and secrets, love was never part of the protocol.
By day, Vaerin Vasiliev is just another MedTech student - sleepy in lectures, buried in lab reports, and constantly smelling like disinfectant.
But when the sun sets, the gloves come off - replaced by black tactical ones.
No one knows her precision with syringes isn't just for lab work.
Then there's Caex Lior Caliron - the batch's golden boy. Smart, composed, and the kind of guy everyone adored.
But he fell for the girl who was too makulit, too sharp, and far too mysterious for her own good.
"Hindi ko sinadyang mahulog sa'yo," Vae whispered once.
"Habang tinatago ko ang lahat ng dugo sa kamay ko."
When Caex vanished, she thought it was the organization. Until she discovered the truth.
Now, she's no longer just retrieving for the organization-
She's retrieving the truth, and maybe, the heart she accidentally lost along the way.
