As each day rolls onto the next, he finds ways to hide himself from those who are searching for him. All the while keeping the secret from her. His other half. His soulmate. His lifeline. The secret that can easily bring her misfortune and danger. And he will do anything to keep her safe. Because the letters and numbers burned into his skin mean much more than just being special. It means she would never be free.
