Co-Authored and Proofread by @1SuburbanPyro1 After surviving her capture, Staff Sergeant Mara "Hound" Akane tries to come to terms with living with PTSD and being forced straight back into combat way too soon with the assistance of her newly assigned battle buddy Sergeant Vedriti "Fox" Mrysky. Will Hound be able to transition back into military life with Taskforce 141 whilst juggling her mental health? Better yet, can she remain stable when it gets chaotic? Only time (and maybe Fox) can tell. ‼️⚠️This story takes place 1 month after Hound's survival. Knowing this, expect many triggering topics that's typical for COD along with graphic torture scenes, detailed panic attacks, vulgar language, and maybe even sexual content. The literal prologue is a graphic description of her escape and involves intense warfare.⚠️‼️ This book is reverse harem styled in a way- no, not poly. However, they may be some poly between characters. (Sorry, no GhostSoap, I just can't see them being more than brothers in arms.) Mara "Hound" Akane belongs to me. Vedriti "Fox" Mrysky belongs to @1SuburbanPyro1 All respective COD characters belong to COD.
