Under His Watch

"They all leave you, Evelina. But I won't."

Elias was never the hero.
Not with the way he watched her. Followed her. Controlled every piece of her life while calling it protection. He's cold, obsessive, unpredictable, the kind of man who would destroy the world before letting her belong to someone else.

And Evelina knows something is wrong with him. She sees it in the way his voice softens after he threatens someone. In the way, he always knows where she is. In the terrifying truth hidden behind his calm smile:

Elias would rather ruin her than lose her.

But the worst part?
The deeper Evelina falls into his dark, violent world, the harder it becomes to run from him because monsters are dangerous, until they're the only ones who ever made you feel safe.
