VEILED SOULS

"Got you," he whispered at the shell of her ear, his voice lowering with a dark edge. "Finally."

~~

Two broken souls. One foster family. Multiple deaths.

Kaden Denville and Talia Clayton shared an emotional soul tie, both being raised in the foster care system unintentionally intertwining their damaged souls. They understood each other, battling their demons together.

The bond fractured when finding out the girl he grew up with had testified against him, and he lived a four-year prison sentence in magnified silence, wondering, regretting.

His life changed drastically, and he wondered if he really knew the real Talia Clayton.

Four years later, Kaden's release day has arrived.

Talia knew he'd be back for her, an unspoken oath he once said to her at the forefront of her mind, taunting her.

"I'll never let you go."

He's back, and she soon realises the boy she once knew is damaged to the point of no return.
