Possessed: Tainted Book One

He became the monster to survive.

Now he has something to lose.

Kerry

When I was nine years old, I made the wrong decision for the right reasons. Ten years later, I’m still paying for it. The demon inside me is winning. My strength is gone. My control is slipping.

I’m done.

Then she finds me. All fire hair and sunshine smiles and blind, stubborn hope. She looks at me like I’m not the monster I know I am.

I should have scared her off. I should have let her walk away.

I didn’t.

I let her get close. Let her see too much. Let her become the one thing I can’t lose.

And then she’s gone.

Taken.

Bad move.

Because she’s not just the girl who tried to save me. She’s my last shred of humanity. My salvation. My heart. My angel.

So they can run. They can hide. They can crawl into the darkest corners of Hell.

It won’t matter.

I’ll find them.

Because I’m coming for her.

And I’m not bringing mercy with me.

It was supposed to be a normal night. Just humming to myself as I walked home, thinking about the secret I’ve spent my whole life hiding. Then I saw a pile of rags on the sidewalk. Except it wasn’t rags. It was a boy. Broken. Bleeding. Barely alive.

He told me to run. I didn’t listen. I tried to heal him. And that’s when everything went wrong. I woke something dark. Something hungry. I should have died that night. The world thinks I did.

Now I’m trapped in a world I never knew existed—a hidden sanctuary for nephilim like us—forced to leave behind the only family I have, the life I was building, and the future I worked so hard for.

All because I tried to save a boy who doesn’t want saving.

He’s dangerous. Broken. Angry. And he hates that I see something more in him. But I do. I see the boy fighting to hold on. The one no one else believes is still there. So I stay. I fight for him, even when he pushes me away. Because somehow, he feels like home.

But something is coming.

Something bigger than either of us.

And when it finally catches up to us?

Saving him might be the thing that destroys us both.

The world fears the monster in him.

She’s the only thing he won’t destroy.

A slow-burn, emotionally intense romantasy with no explicit content.
