TRUST: 'The Helix Dominion'

Kaivan

Another summons. Another volatile hybrid to rehabilitate.
It should have been routine.

Instead, the assignment cracks open wounds Kaivan never learned how to mourn. A past loss-one he buried rather than faced-resurfaces, dragging him into a journey far more intimate and dangerous than he anticipated. As bonds form and emotions tangle, Kaivan realizes he is no longer just a caretaker, but a man unraveling.

And lurking within that fragile connection is another presence.
A hybrid who refuses to share.
A devotion that curdles into obsession.

Malachi-Kaivan's own hybrid-will stop at nothing to keep him.

Even if that means destroying the one thing he cherishes most.

Lucan

Fear was not something Lucan felt.
It was something he lived.

Distrust shaped every breath he took, yet his fragile, naïve heart still clung to belief-too willing to accept any truth placed before him, no matter how cruel. The world has taught him pain without mercy, and still, he offers humans respect they rarely deserve.

But loyalty has a price. Love twists. Minds fracture.
Even those he cares for most begin to blur the lines between protection and control.

As Lucan's thoughts tighten into knots of doubt and devotion, one question remains:

Can he uncover the truth before it consumes him-
or was every promise he believed nothing more than a beautifully crafted lie?
