Tangled Veins

🩸 "How can something feel so right... when the world says it's so wrong?"

⚠️ Falling in love with your cousin?
Yeah... that was never part of the plan.

Ezikiel Jace Montillano doesn't belong. Not in the family. Not in their picture-perfect traditions. He's the black sheep with a guarded stare, a sharp tongue, and a past nobody dares to ask about. Cold, distant, and impossible to read.

Then comes Nicolle Selene Verano the girl with the sad smile and eyes that seem to know things they shouldn't. She's sweet but unreadable, soft but strong in all the quiet ways. And when she locks eyes with Ezikiel across a crowded family gathering, everything changes.

They were strangers.
They became something else.
And then they found out the truth, they're cousins.

But how do you stop a feeling that already feels like home?
How do you unlove someone who finally made you feel seen?

This isn't just a love story. It's the kind of love you're not supposed to want. But once it's in your veins, how do you let it go?
