Nate Winters has spent most of his life running-hiding from a past he can't fully remember, and from the organization that experimented on him as a child. Now 21, he's learned to blend in, living a quiet life on the surface. But shadows have a way of following you, and Nate's gift-control over shadows-makes him both powerful and dangerous.

When he meets someone who sees past his carefully constructed walls, Nate is forced to confront what he's been running from, and what he's willing to risk for love. Every secret, every hidden power, could be the thing that gets him caught-or the thing that saves him.

In a world where trust is a luxury and survival is never guaranteed, Nate must decide: can he embrace the darkness within himself-and the light of someone who cares enough to stay by his side?

Author's Note:
These stories have been ideas I've held in my mind for a long time, and it has taken me a lot of courage to finally bring them to life here on Wattpad. I'm so excited to share the first book of this series with you, and I hope you enjoy following Nate, the other survivors, and their journeys as much as I've loved creating them. Thank you for joining me in The Hidden!

Silent Evidence by scarlett4509
8 parts Ongoing Mature
Luca Romano was the kind of person who preferred silence over small talk, logic over emotions, and solitude over crowds. He was also a law student. His classmates thought he was cold, but Mason Torres--his loud, chaotic best friend--knew better. Luca didn't follow rules unless they benefited him, and he didn't bother pretending to care about people he didn't respect. When their hated professor, Bob Cerberus, was mysteriously killed on the street, Luca barely flinched. The man had it coming, most of the class would agree. But the next morning, when a tall, sharp-eyed Russian named Aleksandr Volkov walked into the classroom as their new professor, something inside Luca shifted. Aleksandr wasn't just handsome, he carried himself like a man who'd seen war, who hid knives behind every word. What Luca didn't know was that Aleksandr wasn't there to just teach law--he was there to uncover the truth. The CIA believed one of the students was responsible for Cerberus's death, and Aleksandr was their undercover agent sent to expose them. But the more he watched Luca Romano--the quiet prodigy who didn't fit into any mold--the more he found himself distracted. Luca's silence wasn't emptiness; it was control, the kind of restraint Aleksandr admired too much. As suspicion deepened and danger crept closer, the line between investigation and obsession blurred. And soon, Aleksandr had to ask himself whether he was protecting a suspect or falling for one.
