98 parts Ongoing MatureShe escaped a house full of monsters... but she never stopped being hunted.
I thought I escaped the worst of it.
But some monsters don't stay in the past.
After years of surviving in a house that only knew cruelty, sixteen year old Aven is sent to live with her grandparents in a secluded town hidden deep in the forest, gorgeous, quiet, and filled with people who act like nothing bad ever happens there. The kind of place only the rich can afford to live. The kind of place that almost feels like peace.
Almost.
She wanted a fresh start. A chance to breathe.
What she didn't expect?
Grayson.
He's charming, brooding, and way too interested in her. The kind of boy girls fight over... and they do. But there's something off about him. Something he isn't saying.
And her past comes crashing back, violent, messy, and impossible to outrun. Aven realizes her new life isn't just fragile. It's built on secrets.
Love. Lies. Loyalty. Survival.
Aven's never been safe.
She's just been watched.
And no matter how far she runs, the people she escaped from keep saying the same thing:
"You'll always be mine."
