"Some monsters aren't meant to be feared... but to be loved back into the light."
Annelly
Everything is falling apart, and James is shattering faster than I can reach him.
Every step we take toward safety drags him deeper into the darkness and further from me. He's angry, broken, hurting in ways I can't fix-and I'm terrified.
Of losing him. Of failing him. Of not being enough to bring him back.
But I won't let the man I love go without a fight. Not when he's fought so fiercely for me. Not when I still believe we can find our way back.
Regardless of what he wants... it's my turn to save him.
Even if loving him through the wreckage is the hardest thing I've ever done.
James
I'm losing myself, and with every hour that passes, I can feel the future we wanted slipping further out of reach.
The darkness I fought for years is clawing its way back, twisting everything-my thoughts, my control, the man I swore I'd never be again. I'm angry, hurting, unraveling faster than I can contain-and I'm terrified.
Of losing her. Of failing her. Of breaking her.
Of becoming the very monster she's running from.
When I said I'd protect her, I meant from every danger-including me. But she won't give up. She won't back down. She's still fighting for us with everything she has.
She believes love can pull me out of this...
But I'm terrified I'll destroy every last piece of her hope long before she saves me.
In the Broken Redemption World, every step toward survival threatens their love-and salvation may come with a price neither is ready to pay.
