They never told you what the Inside Guard really was.

When they announced your assignment, your chest swelled with pride. To be chosen as the president’s personal guard — the sanctuary’s most trusted protector — was an honor few ever saw. You trained for precision, loyalty, silence. A shadow in the palace halls, eyes in every room, a blade ready at your side.

But Kieran wasn’t fooled.

He found the files—hidden in the cracked terminal beneath the mess hall. “Inside Guard” wasn’t protection. It was control. A covert unit tasked with keeping the president’s darkest secrets safe… and silencing anyone who threatened them. People disappeared quietly. Experiments happened behind locked doors. And your “special assignment” wasn’t about defense — it was about containment.

That night, the sanctuary echoed with orders.

Soldiers knocking on every door to collect their drafted recruits. Heart pounding, Kieran was already outside your room, waiting. When the guards came, he grabbed your arm and whispered, “We don’t have time. They’re coming for you.”

You didn’t hesitate.

Together, you slipped through shadowed halls, alarms blaring behind you. Gunfire cracked in the distance. Soldiers shouting. The wall was closing in.

You and Kieran ran for the gates. For freedom.

But the sanctuary you once believed in was now hunting you — And the secrets you carry could bring it all down.
