Two souls, forged in suffering, would collide in a dance of darkness and desire, testing the limits of love and redemption. Their paths meet when Asher's sister becomes the target of a predator, and Kaidën sees an opportunity for justice. As they navigate their dark worlds, they must confront the demons that haunt them. Will Asher's desire for protection and Kaidën's quest for vengeance spark a twisted romance, or will their shattered reflections destroy them? *** “You killed my mother.” Asher's voice trembled with fury. Kaidën's smile was cold, almost mirthful. “Who gave your sister to her husband who sold her to pay off his debts.” “I watched you murder her in cold blood!” Asher’s fists clenched around the gun he held pointed at the killer, memories of that night flooding back. Kaidën leaned closer, a sinister smile creeping onto his face. "I remember begging you to look away. But you didn’t. Did you enjoy it, Asher? Watching the woman who shattered your world writhe in agony? Or would you prefer to keep that little secret buried deep? Ah, but don’t answer that. Come, help me gather the pieces of your father's remains. It’s time to tidy up this little mess." Asher’s eyes widened in horror, realization crashing over him like a wave. All this time, he had been unaware that he was not only a witness to his father’s murder, but had watched it unfold until the very end, just like he had done that night when he watched his mother’s murder. Nodding, he picked up the severed hand of his father—the same hand that had beaten and broken him until his skin grew numb to pain. ‘Oh, sweet Emily, if only you could see our father now. How the mighty have fallen.’

For a moment, he almost asked Kaidën if he was okay, you know, down there, but instead, he snapped, "What do you want?" He tried to sound calm, even though he was a mess inside.Kaidën's grin was annoyingly playful, like he was enjoying Asher's irritation. He reached into his pocket and pulled out an old, brown wallet. Asher's eyes went wide when he realized it was his. He hadn’t even noticed it was gone! He remembered just casually reaching into his pocket to pay for the cab, never thinking he’d lost the one thing that had the only picture of his sister in it.Asher reached out to grab it, but Kaidën held it just out of reach. Frustration bubbled up in Asher, and he lunged for it, but Kaidën was too fast. He pulled his hand back, making Asher stumble forward and bump into him. Asher’s face turned bright red as he quickly steadied himself, glancing around to see i
Chapter: 3 *****Asher walked into the police station, feeling the buzz of activity wrap around him like a warm blanket. After getting cleaned up and changed in the locker room, he was pumped to kick off this new chapter of his life. He made his way to the front desk, nodding at the officer on duty. Just as he was about to head to his desk, he noticed a bright smile across the room. It was Rachel, a fellow academy grad and one of his closest friends, waving him over.Rachel rushed up to Asher and pulled him into a big hug, her eyes shining with happiness. "Asher, congrats again on making it through the academy!" Asher laughed, feeling a wave of relief wash over him. Rachel had been his rock during the tough times at the academy."Thanks, Rachel! I feel like I'm on top of the world," Asher replied, his smile wide. But then Rachel's expression changed. Her eyes sparkled with a mix of excitement and concern."I’ve got some news for you," she said, lowering her voice to a whisper. "I go
Chapter: 2 ******Kaidën had raised an eyebrow, a sly smile spreading across his face. He had just finished his usual night hunt and was on his merry way home when his gaze landed on the young officer. For years he has watched him, followed him, Kaidën has planned the man's life from the very day he met him, and made sure that each step Asher took, he would be there a few steps behind, watching him closely. But, tonight was a temptation that Kaidën couldn't resist, and for one who had endured for the past years, Kaidën knew he must take his chances now that he had it and with that, he parked his car and got out. At first he leaned against his car and watched Asher's colleagues who surrounded him, although Kaidën hated the sight of anyone been that close to him, but he knew he had to hold his cool.He couldn't afford to draw attention to himself and make a bad first impression on the young officer and so he waited until they had entered the bar. Kaidën followed a few minutes later. H
Chapter: 1 *****Asher's heart was racing as he scooped Emily into his arms, whispering a hurried "shh" before shoving her into the cupboard. It was a game they played, one that kept her safe and him alive… somewhat. The door creaked, and he froze, holding his breath. The sound echoed through the dimly lit house like a warning bell."Mily, stay quiet," he whispered, his voice trembling. "Don't make a sound." His eyes fell into Emily's who clung to him like a second skin, the fear in her eyes mirrored his. “It'll be alright, Mily, I promise.” She nodded but her body shook in fear as he held her in that tight space.Just a little more and he will have to get out to confront their father.“Make it stop, Sasha…” she hiccuped and Asher's heart broke for his sister.The bedroom door creaked, and Asher's heart sank. He had to protect her as the big brother, and he always did his best to shield her from this hell.Suddenly, the room began to spin, and Asher's vision blurred as he slowly cra
