Can't Stand By You

She was never supposed to be part of his world.
One wrong moment. One decision she never fully understood. And suddenly, her ordinary life turned into something she can't escape from.

In Rheign's world, nothing is simple. Everything is controlled, calculated, and dangerous. He doesn't trust easily. He doesn't care easily. And he definitely doesn't let anyone get close without a reason.

Cold. Silent. Unpredictable.
He's the kind of person people avoid-not because he talks too much, but because he doesn't need to.

And then there's her.
A girl who was never meant to be there. Someone who doesn't understand the rules of his world, yet somehow becomes the center of it.

"Stay behind me."

Three words. Not soft. Not gentle. But somehow, they change everything.
Because the more he tries to keep her away, the more she gets pulled into his reality-where secrets are buried deep, enemies don't show their faces, and safety is never guaranteed.

She hates him for dragging her into this life.
He hates himself for not letting her go.
But in between danger, silence, and every unspoken truth-
something starts to shift.
Something neither of them can control.
And in a world where trust is rare and love is a weakness...
the person she can't stand might be the only one keeping her alive.
