"Iris Clayton, a vulnerable survivor has only one mission in her life—it's to survive. While scavenging for food, she stumbles upon the group protected by the mysterious, badass, and strikingly handsome Colt Snow. In the world that barely surviving after the spread of an unknown deadly virus, Colt doesn't give a damn about her, but there's something in the way he looks at her that tells the exact opposite.

Colt Snow nearly broke after failing to protect his brother. When a fragile woman asks for a place to stay, he can't help but question her motive, and the last thing he should be doing is to get distracted by those unique blue eyes, but every time he looks at her, he knows only one thing—to take the risk and protect her from whoever is hunting her.
When the world fell apart, I thought my life crumbled down beneath it, until I stumbled upon a group protected by a tough and mysterious man named Colt. He threatened me twice, but there was something in his gaze that promised me protectiveness and comfort. And I was wrong to think that there was no humanity left in this world anymore. But how far he would go to protect me when all I did was to bring risk to the group?"

Blue Iris

IT HAD been four days—Four. Damn. Days!


It was hard to wait for the inevitable, and my hope was slowly wearing thin. Colt had not wakened up. Not even moved a finger.


Dr. Hull had hope and never gave up, and so as everyone. But what if he would never wake up? My heart and every fiber in my body ached no matter how I tried to hold onto that hope.


I suggested to donate another blood, but Dr. Hull refused since Colt's white blood cell was decreasing, and his red blood cell didn't drop low.


Every time I checked him, it made me guiltier because I failed him. I was a work of failure. Everyone around me was leaving me one by one, and I was scared if Colt would be the next to walk out of my life.


For God's sake, he saved my life, and it was killing me that I couldn't do the same. And he wouldn't be in this situation in the first place if it was not because of me.
