Regenerate [l.t]

Regenerate : to grow back, renew, or restore something to a better, stronger condition.

Louis Tomlinson thought he died the day his family did.

Left behind with nothing but guilt and three surviving sisters to protect, he carries the weight of a tragedy he believes was his fault. If only he had been stronger. Faster. Braver.

So he rebuilds himself.

He trains in silence. Fights in shadows. Turns pain into discipline. Grief into a weapon. And vengeance into a promise.

"I swear to my grave... I will make them pay for taking my happiness away."

But fate interrupts his revenge.

One night, in a chaotic attack meant for someone powerful, Louis saves a girl he's never met before. He doesn't know she is Hannah Iverene-the beloved granddaughter of a rising presidential candidate. He doesn't know that saving her will change everything.

Impressed by his skill and fearing another assassination attempt, the presidential family offers him a position as Hannah's personal bodyguard.

He accepts - not for the money.
Not for loyalty.
But because protection is the only thing he knows how to do.

"From now on, I'll protect you. That's my promise."

"Please don't die because of me... Stay alive. That's an order."

Living under the same roof, Louis discovers a different kind of battlefield. Hannah isn't fragile. She isn't naïve. She's carrying scars of her own - political threats, betrayal, pressure, loneliness.

And she sees through him.

She notices how he flinches at loud noises.
How he never sleeps deeply.
How his eyes darken when revenge is mentioned.

"If you avenge them...Will you leave me?"

Hannah wants to help him heal. But Louis doesn't believe he deserves healing. He believes he deserves war.

What he doesn't know is this:

The people who destroyed his family might be connected to the world he's now protecting.

And the girl he swore to protect...

Might be the only one who can regenerate what revenge has almost killed inside him.
