Every hand that ever touched her left a scar. Then a monster picked her up.
The camps took four years from Maeve. They left her broken ribs, a shoulder that healed wrong, and the kind of hunger that eats muscle before fat. She escaped. She ran. When her legs finally give out among the roots of a canopy tree, the only thought left in her is: at least no one is touching me.
She's wrong.
Red finds her there — blood-crimson skin, white horns, the most dangerous thing in this stretch of the wasteland. The camp propaganda said the monsters were death. This one takes one look at the starving woman collapsed in his territory and decides she's his to mend.
So he takes her home.
He carries her when she can't walk. He hunts for her, cooks for her, feeds her from his own hands. He guards her sleep like her nightmares are something he can kill. Maeve doesn't know what to do with a monster who claims her like he owns her while feeding her like she matters. No one has ever kept her alive on purpose.
The camps taught her that being held and being caged are the same thing. He intends to spend the rest of her life proving otherwise.
