Neon Blood: The Forbidden Protocol

My DNA was rotting when Kael’s black limousine stopped in front of me. He looked at the dying assassin in the gutter like a stray dog—and offered me a contract: become his private hound, or die before sunrise. He is the ruthless heir who can control the city with a word; I am the discarded gene-mod killer who refuses to kneel. But the serum he injects into my veins links my senses to his, turning every command into an intimate violation—and every touch into a dangerous weakness. As he sends me to hunt the traitors who sold me out, I uncover an encrypted secret: Kael and I were created by the same mastermind, and my locked genetic code may be the key to his throne. Now my first target is the mentor who betrayed me—but Kael has ordered me to kill him before he reveals which of us was designed to be the weapon.
