The Watcher At The End Of The Finish Line
625 Views · Ongoing · Leerah
Sylvie Crane has spent years living as a ghost. She has no roots, no record, nothing for anyone to take note of.
When a criminal faction traces her to a warehouse in Velthorn City, it is Zarek Nox who steps between her and the predators they sent after her. He proposes an arrangement afterwards—stay close to him, as a matter of fact, marry him and become untouchable.
With no option left, she accepts, taking him as her only means of survival and the one who might actually save her from running.
What Sylvie doesn't know is that Zarek has known her for longer than she knows, that he had been searching and found her before the faction did. That the night they met was not by chance at all.
What she does know though is that she feels safer beside him than she has ever felt anywhere in a very long time.
And for the first time in years, part of her actually wants to let someone stay even though this someone was responsible for her brothers’ death.
