We Shouldn't Have Fallen - But We Did

In a world where survival is all that matters, Y/N learns early to trust no one and rely only on instinct. Raised in chaos and hardened by loss, she adapts quickly when the world collapses around her-hunting, tracking, and surviving alone in the wilderness where every stranger is a threat.

That is, until she's forced into the path of a group led by Rick, and upon the group one man who drives her insane named Daryl. Rough, silent, and impossible to read, Daryl is as much a danger as he is a savior-taking her captive one moment and protecting her the next without explanation.

She hates him for it... at least she thinks she does.

As survival forces them closer together, tension builds between distrust and something neither of them understands or wants to admit. In a world where attachment can be fatal, she begins to realize that the most dangerous thing isn't the wilderness-or the dead-it's the pull she feels toward the one person she can't figure out.
