For a moment, she stayed still, like silence was her last shield. Then she exhaled, broken and tired. "I tried to hide it," she said softly, "but you wouldn't let me." ⋆ ── ⋆ ── ⋆ Truths are louder than secrets, merciless, burning, and impossible to ignore. Kairav Goenka was on a quest for the truth that was far too dangerous for him. All of this was because of the girl he had fallen for. The questions she buried in silence continued to haunt him. She had tried to protect him, battling against silence, distance, and every ounce of strength she had left. Yet, she couldn't prevent him from stepping into her world, a world she had spent years trying to escape. Now the truth was waiting, and the real question was what would remain once it surfaced? Because some love stories don't unfold. They circle back and begin again. ***** This is NOT a standalone book.

"I know I killed a close friend of yours but I'll be honest and say, I'm in with love you. Lucius will probably try to kill me, Nate and Dante would never accept me, Cesar will torture me if he catches me, and I don't think you'd ever forgive me either, but you know what?" He shrugged his shoulders as he reached for Charles' jaw, tilting his head to the side and examining his quivering blue eyes that resembled his father's way too much. His thumb slid across the tape over Charles' lips that were sealed shut underneath. "I don't care if I need to hide underground in a bunker for the rest of my life, I want to be with you and I'm not going to let any of them stop me, and that includes yourself. So how about you stop fighting those restraints and kiss me the same way you did last night, remember?" Nineteen-year-old Charles Kennedy never thought his life would be thrown in such turmoil. He tried to live a normal life with his fathers, Dante and Nate Kennedy, but it was kind of hard when his best friend, Natalia Hercules, Lucius' Hercules daughter, was always involved in some shady missions, regardless of her father's rules. However, he never thought that one of them would be killed by the leader of a powerful upcoming troop. Even worse, he never thought that leader would fall in love with him? And what happens when he falls in love back? Does he choose his family or his soulmate? How is he supposed to avenge the death of his family friend when it's the love of his life that he needs to kill?

A story of blood, betrayal and bond so beautifully painful, under the circumstances, where one wrong step could kill you, literally. Where the hope of survival and the greed for life meet. When bonds are broken and built in an unusual setting. What would happen when the news vaccine reaches the small group of survivors of an apocalypse, stuck at an inconvenient distance from the vaccine? And what would happen when they realised the group considered small earlier was still very large for the amount of vaccine prepared? Will the people who had watched each other's backs until then stab each other, or will fate have something else planned for them? A story written for TEGSA. cover by @sugararmy07
