"You call me your safe heaven, Sunflower. You think I hold your hand because I'm a good friend. I hold it because the second you step out of my sight, the static in my head gets so loud I have to butcher someone just to make it stop. You are the only quiet thing in my mind. If you ever try to leave me in the dark, I will drown this entire fucking city in so much blood you'll have no choice but to slip right back into my arms." - Landon Ashford

_______________

To Hazel Bloom, Landon Ashford is a saint. He is her safe haven, her best friend, and Ardencrest's flawless Golden Prince.
She has absolutely no idea she is holding the leash to a psychopath.

Behind his polite smiles, Landon is a feral predator biologically tethered to her presence.
Hazel thinks her bullies simply leave campus; she doesn't know Landon is slaughtering them in the alleyways.
She thinks he's just fiercely protective; she doesn't know he hacks her vitals to listen to her heartbeat just to survive the night.

Landon has orchestrated a flawless, blood-soaked illusion so her gentle heart never has to touch the dark.

But when the mask inevitably slips, Hazel will realize her sanctuary is a cage.

He isn't hiding her from the monsters.
He is the monster.

And he is on his knees for her.
