Elara:
Everything is in order. I just need to endure for three months and then I’ll be free. I owe nothing to the living and in three months I’ll join the dead.
But there’s a slight problem.
I’ve caught the attention of the Russian trio, and worse…the man who is formidable at Kingsford University has pinned me beneath his gaze, his eyes have seen past my walls, his hands have touched past my skin.
I can see my ultimate plan to reach the absolute silence shattering into pieces. So before I start seeking his warmth, I do the thing I’m best at.
I run.
But when I open the door to leave…he’s already there.

Sergei:
The night I vowed to become something more than a shell of life, she was ripped from my arms.
I spent three years searching for the woman who is unaware of my existence. And now that I’ve finally found her, she wants to run away?
Not on my fucking watch, princess.
