    In a ruined world patrolled by relentless Arc machines, survival isn't a promise - it's a fight bought day by day. Claire Caden, a sharp-tongued scavenger with a stubborn streak and a past wrapped in mystery, never expected her life to change the morning she woke up to blaring alarms and hit her head on a bunk. But everything shifts the moment she steps into the wasteland beside Draven Hale - her infuriatingly calm, dangerously capable team leader. Together they navigate broken cities, electrical storms, and the haunting silence left in the wake of the Arc invasions. As Claire's strange sensitivity to Arc signals grows stronger, so does the connection between her and Draven. Their chemistry sparks in bunker shelters, in firefights, and in stolen quiet moments neither of them will admit mean everything. When outposts begin to fall and a distorted transmission plays a voice identical to Claire's, the truth becomes impossible to ignore: the Arc aren't just hunting humanity. They're hunting her. Pulled between loyalty and destiny, Claire unravels the secrets of her past while trying to hold together the fragile found family that depends on her. But betrayal strikes from within, sending Draven into enemy hands and forcing Claire to face the Arc alone. What she discovers will change the course of the war - and her heart - forever. Through battles, heartbreak, sacrifice, and the hope of rebuilding something worth living for, Claire and Draven fight not just for survival, but for each other. Because in a world determined to tear itself apart, love might be the one thing powerful enough to put it back together.

    He had everything-money, looks, a chiseled body, and a family name that shook cities. But a rare, cruel disease made him dependent on something no man should need-human milk. She had nothing-just a quiet life, a struggling home, and a strange gift her body carried: she could produce milk without ever being a mother. When Elena agrees to help a sick child, she expects an infant-not a brooding, sharp-jawed billionaire named Luca. What starts as survival... Turns into silence. Then tension. Then something neither of them dares to name. One gives life. The other? Takes her peace. But maybe... in the dark of midnight, they both find a reason to breathe again. ---

    Prologue Kiara Westbridge University wasn't built for girls like me. Its halls were too polished, its chandeliers too crystal-clear, its students too carefully curated from old money and older legacies. Everyone here carried a last name that could open doors, bend rules, and rewrite consequences. Except me. I carried a scholarship, stitched pride, and a thousand reasons why I couldn't afford to fail. And then there was Abheer Malhotra- The crown prince of Westbridge. Heir to an empire, heart made of stone, and eyes like winter-cold, unreadable, and sharp enough to cut. He didn't talk much. Didn't need to. One glance from him was enough to silence a room. I should've stayed away. Should've just ignored him like I ignored every other ego with a trust fund and too much cologne. But no. He noticed me. And worse? He hated me. It started with a comment in class-condescending, precise. Then came the smirks, the subtle sabotages, the storm he carried with every encounter. But hate is a funny thing. It simmers, it snaps, it circles back. Until it's so close to passion, you can't tell which is which. Until the line between enemies and something else entirely starts to blur. This was never supposed to be a love story. But now I think... maybe it was always meant to be one. One set on fire. One built in broken pieces. One we never saw coming.

    Sienna Hart isn't known for playing nice.

Too bad the Moon Goddess doesn't care what either of them wants. Thrown together under a fragile truce between packs, Sienna and Leo are forced to work side by side. The more they clash, the more the sparks fly. But in a world where dominance, duty, and desire are deadly things, letting your guard down can cost more than your pride. She's fire. He's ice. And someone's about to get burned.
