I wasn’t created to love—only to destroy. But fate doesn’t ask permission.I wake to a world in chaos, the taste of stardust on my tongue and fragments of galaxies burning behind my eyes.No name. No past. No idea how I came to be here.In the ruins of a shattered battlefield, they find me wrapped in smoke and splattered with blood that isn’t mine—each of them desperate to decipher who I am and why I’ve been thrust into their war.They claim to be kings of this world, with the power to protect me... moreI wasn’t created to love—only to destroy. But fate doesn’t ask permission.I wake to a world in chaos, the taste of stardust on my tongue and fragments of galaxies burning behind my eyes.No name. No past. No idea how I came to be here.In the ruins of a shattered battlefield, they find me wrapped in smoke and splattered with blood that isn’t mine—each of them desperate to decipher who I am and why I’ve been thrust into their war.They claim to be kings of this world, with the power to protect me.A wraith who moves like smoke but feels like fire, igniting sparks that dance beneath my skin.A fae with a silver tongue and lips I ache to trust.A vampire who drinks desire like wine and vows to ruin me sweetly.And a shape-shifting predator whose hungry gaze sets my pulse racing, hinting at danger and surrender—if I want it.They circle me like wolves, drawn to a power and vulnerability they can’t resist. Their heated glances and whispered promises awaken something inside me...a longing that trembles on the line between defiance and desire.While I may feel the pull of each of them, I know I wasn’t made for their cages, gilded or otherwise. But in a fractured world at war between man and magic, I’ll need allies as I uncover who—and what—I truly am.As their lustful whispers tangle with my thoughts and their searing touches threaten to unravel me, fragments of my memories begin to surface.Each of them swears they’ll never let me go.But they’ll soon learn I wasn’t made to be kept.Some call me death. Others, salvation.When I rise, the world will remember what it means to fall. less
