Forbidden Spark: Raising My Own Nemesis

I spent years crafting the perfect man to end my loneliness, but the moment he opened his eyes, he whispered the one name I feared most: the name of the god destined to slaughter me. Kaelen was supposed to be my mindless puppet, a loyal shield against the Empire’s cruelty. Instead, he is a predator wearing the face of an innocent, fighting a constant, agonizing war between his absolute devotion to me and an ancient, bloodthirsty instinct to tear my heart out. As we survive the wasteland together, the line between master and monster blurs. Every touch is a gamble, every kiss a potential betrayal. As the Imperial armies close in and his eyes turn dark with a hunger that isn't just for blood, I have to wonder—did I create a protector to save me from the world, or did I build the very monster that will destroy me from the inside out? In a game of lethal obsession, the only thing more dangerous than the Empire is the man I raised to love me.
