Shadow of care || Shadows of the Heart - book one

She doesn't see me - and that's how it's supposed to be.
While she lives her life in the light, I move through the dark, cleaning up the chaos she never notices.
She calls it coincidence when things somehow fall into place. When danger disappears before it reaches her. When people who hurt her suddenly vanish from her life.

It's not coincidence.
It's me.

I've built my world around her safety. My every move, every breath, every drop of blood I spill - it's all for her. She'll never know how many nights I've spent watching her window, or how many times I've stopped myself from stepping closer.

She deserves peace.
And I'll give it to her, even if it means losing my mind in the process.

But peace never lasts.
Secrets have a way of crawling into the light.
And when mine finally do... she'll see what it really means to be cared for by a monster hiding in the shadows.
