He spent years keeping her away from his darkness.

But destiny had other plans.

Aahana Sehgal never stopped wanting him.
Her brother’s best friend. The man who ruled the underworld with blood-stained hands.
And now, fate brings him back — closer than ever,
not as the man she imagined in her dreams,
but as her new professor.

She has no idea how dangerous he truly is.
He knows she’s the only light left in his shadowed world.
But every stolen glance, every forbidden touch pulls them deeper into a web of desire and death.

Someone is watching.
People are dying.
And as the city trembles under a wave of brutal murders, Rudraksh realizes he can protect her from everyone —
except himself.

Because this time, it’s not only the enemies outside he faces.
It’s the monster inside him — ravenous, relentless, craving her more than ever.
