All it takes is one monster for the world to go to ruins.
Life as Nadine knows it goes to shit and she has to accustom herself to life underground, that is until an accident forces her out into the real world.

Caine has no idea why he saved Nadine.
She is everything he hates- rich, spoiled and entitled- and yet, he couldn't just let her die.
Living outside is hard enough without having to save someone else and yet, he does it with Nadine.

Thrust into a world that she has no idea how to navigate, Nadine is forced to rely on Caine.
Her life is literally in his hands.
They soon realize that maybe the monsters are the least of their worries.

Love Among The Ruins

She tried to hide it, but I could see just how worried she was.

I glanced over at Dan who gave me a silent nod. I pulled my shirt off easily, letting her see that I wasn't hurt- not badly at least. Most of the blood wasn't mine. I was fine. I couldn't say the same about Dan though.

"Dan?" she turned to him and he hesitated. "I need to look at your wounds. You're clutching your side."

"You need to cut off the shirt. I can't lift my hands."

I saw the worry on Nadine's face despite the fact that she tried to hide it. Her hands were shaking slightly so I made my way over to her and took the dagger from her hands.

I knew what I would find, I was there when it happened, but it was one thing to know something and another entirely to see it. I cut the shirt off slowly, trying my best not to hurt him as I did, and when I peeled it back, it revealed a vicious looking cut on his side.
