With understandable reluctance, she agrees to live with them. But dark truth comes forward as Astria realizes that her whole life was just a web of lies and she may never be the same again. On top of this, it just turns out that life with her brothers may not be as easy as she had assumed, it might as well be worse than one with her mother.

Counting down the days until she turns eighteen and escapes the nightmare. What she doesn't know is that eight wolves-eight ruthless, powerful brothers-are still searching for the sister they lost seventeen years ago. And her time in the shadows is running out. Because blood remembers. And when it calls... The underworld will burn to bring her home.

Can innocence find peace in a world built on blood and betrayal? Can love bloom in a place where it's never been truly known? Let's find out.

Will being under the guardianship of her new older brothers give her a chance at normalcy in her life or will they cause even more mess than before? Healing isn't easy and trust doesn't come free. ☆ ☆ ☆ As I lied there in the hospital bed with a pounding headache, practically suffocating me while barely conscious, I heard that familiar, raspy, deep, sleep deprived voice that I've recently come to find comfort in. "Nessuno oserà toccarti di nuovo senza perdere le mani, amore," they whispered. (No one will dare touch you again without losing their hands, love.) I felt two hands hold my face with a soft kiss on my forehead. Their rough and large hands a contrast to their gentleness. The comforter over me shuffled as the familiar person brought them up to my chin and tucked me in. "Riposati ora sei al sicuro, bambina," they murmured, stroking my hair. Before I knew it, simply the presence of them reassured me as I felt myself drift off again into a deep sleep. (Rest now, you're safe, baby). ☆ ☆ ☆ 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄 (noun): a state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts; a daydream.
