No one breathed.
No one blinked.
The only thing Ileia could hear was the sound of death.
It was going to happen,
There was nothing she could do except keep Kallen safe.
--------
Feelings are useless, they get in the way of her job, in the way of the kill. That's what Ileia's father has been telling her for almost two-hundred years.
But when Ileia escapes her father and his assassin group, the Bleeding Hearts, and lands herself into saving a kid of an old friend, Ileia has to come to terms that the world isn't as black and white as she wants it to be.
Her normal world of politics, death, and survival are merged with the unknown, High-School, comfort, and living. Ileia is forced to waddle through the gray space called friendship and maybe, just maybe, find the true meaning of being a monster.

Hired to Die, Stayed to Live
Brooklyn Hayes is tired of pretending to be okay. Drowning in depression and feeling completely alone, she makes a desperate choice: she secretly hires a hitman to kill her so she can disappear without hurting the people she loves. But when the mysterious hitman known only as "Valentine" meets her, he refuses the job. Instead, he sees straight through her pain... because he's lived it too. Rather than pulling the trigger, he offers something she never expected: understanding, protection, and a strange, reluctant friendship. As they spend more time together, their dark agreement slowly turns into late-night conversations, shared secrets, unexpected laughter, and the terrifying possibility of hope. Brooklyn begins to want to live again... and Valentine, who has kept his heart cold for years, starts to feel something real. This is a story about two broken people who were never meant to meet yet somehow might be exactly what the other needs. Love doesn't appear in the light. Sometimes... it's found in the darkest placeComplete
