Fractured Loyalties

Matthias Kouvr and Scylla Ramshorn had never known a life without each other. Growing up side by side, their bond blurred the lines between friendship and something deeper long before they could even name it. By thirteen, it was undeniable-they were in love, fiercely and unapologetically, two halves of the same flame. The world outside them was harsh, unforgiving, and demanded loyalty above all else... and they gave it.
At seventeen, that loyalty led them to the Spree.
Bound not only by love but by shared purpose, Matthias and Scylla devoted themselves fully, believing in the cause and the future it promised. By eighteen, they were given their most dangerous assignment yet: infiltrate Fort Salem. Blend in. Observe. Report back. It was supposed to be simple-just another mission, just another lie to survive.
But nothing about Fort Salem was simple.
Because that's where they found her.
Raelle Collar was never meant to matter. She was supposed to be just another face, another witch in uniform. Instead, she became everything. Unexpected. Unavoidable. The missing piece neither Matthias nor Scylla knew they were searching for. What started as curiosity turned into something deeper, something magnetic-something that threatened to unravel everything they had built.
Loving Raelle wasn't the problem.
Lying to her was.
Every smile, every touch, every moment shared with her is tainted by the truth they can't reveal. The weight of their secret grows heavier with each passing day, guilt threading itself into the love they feel. Because if Raelle ever found out who they really were-what they've done, what they're capable of-it wouldn't just break her.
It would destroy them all.
So Matthias and Scylla stay silent. They play their roles. They pretend.
Not because they don't trust Raelle.
But because they love her too much to risk losing her.
