Untied

Everyone wore the black thread. Except him.

Kiara arrives at Greystone University with one dream - to become a vet and live freely on her terms. But the moment she steps onto campus, things feel... wrong. Whispers in the halls. Eyes that don't blink. Students with bracelets they refuse to remove.

Then there's Aarav. Cold. Distant. Watching her - always.

He's the only one without the thread.
And the only one who makes her heart stop.

But when her dorm grows colder at night, and her mind begins to splinter, she learns the thread isn't a tradition.
It's a warning.

What protects everyone else... might already be too late for her.
