Always Back to You | Cato Hadley

They train you to win.
They don't train you to feel.

In District 2, Aurelia Vance was raised on discipline, control, and the certainty that a Victor is not chosen, it is made.

At eighteen, she steps into the Hunger Games knowing exactly what she is meant to be.

A Victor.

Cato Hadley has always been there, close enough to notice, far enough to ignore. A fellow Career. A rival. A presence she never had reason to question.

Until the arena forces them together.

Because Cato doesn't fight like someone chasing glory.
He fights like someone always looking for her.

And in a place built on blood and strategy, that kind of devotion is dangerous.

In the Games, there are no happy endings.
Only consequences.

And some stories don't end in victory...
they end in survival.
