    Summary

    "We could call it a night here, and I could take you home,” he started casually. “Or, if you’ll let me be greedy, I’d rather keep you to myself a little longer, and you could come back to my place instead.”

    Your heart plummeted.

    God. You knew you shouldn’t have let him pay.

    Even though you’d told him not to.

    Even though you’d promised yourself you’d insist, at least offer, to split it. But you hadn’t. And now…

    You forced a smile and turned away from Sylus, hoping he wouldn’t notice the way your hands were clenched tight in your lap.

    “Sure,” you said, voice light, too light. “That sounds nice.”

    The last thing you wanted was for Sylus to be mad at you. Things had been going so well. And he was such a nice guy. You were lucky he’d waited this long to even ask. You have to have sex in a relationship, right? Eventually. That’s just…part of it.

    Summary

    “Why do I smell blood?” Sylus sniffed, his voice rough with sleep. He cracked his eyes open.

    I threw the covers over the bloody stain.

    “Sweetie? What’s wrong?”

    “I-it’s nothing. Go back to sleep.” I doubled over and hissed as pain shot through me like lightning, from my gut to my hips to my legs. When Zayne had seen me on my last cycle, he’d said classic endometriosis and suggested referring me to a gynaecologist… perhaps I should have listened.

    “You wouldn’t be lying to me now, kitten?”

    A cute moment based on my own experience with endometriosis.

    Summary

    Three years ago, you were Sylus's partner in every sense of the word. Premier Hunters with perfect combat resonance, and secretly, passionately in love. Then, you were forced to make a terrible choice: break Sylus's heart or watch him die. You chose his life over your own happiness.
    Two years later, your entire squad is killed while investigating the conspiracy behind the experiments forced on you. Everyone is declared dead, including you.
    Now Sylus is in danger, targeted by the same conspiracy that killed your team. You have no choice but to return. He doesn't know why you left. You're not sure how much you can trust him. And the resonance between you is reactivating, making it impossible to hide what you still feel.

    Some loves are worth the sacrifice. Some people are worth dying for. And some truths will change everything.
