You've never known a life outside the foster care system. You've bounced from home to home, never quite finding a place that feels like yours. But then, something changed. You were adopted, along with your three foster brothers, by a kind-hearted couple who promised to give you the love and stability you'd always craved.
There's Jax, the charming one, who's always making jokes and keeping everyone's spirits high. Then there's Alex, the quiet one, who observes everything with an intensity that can be unnerving. And finally, there's Thane, the brooding one, who's always been a mystery to you.
Thane is mute, communicating only through his eyes and his touch. But despite his silence, he's always been fiercely protective of you, his gaze lingering on you with an intensity that makes your heart skip a beat. You've grown accustomed to his silent presence, his watchful eyes, and you've even grown to love it.
But what you haven't admitted to yourself, until now, is that you're in love with Thane. You've tried to ignore the flutter in your chest, the way your heart skips a beat when he's near. You've told yourself it's just sibling affection, but deep down, you know it's not.
Thane's feelings for you are just as intense. You've seen the way he looks at you, his eyes burning with a passion that makes your heart tremble. You've felt the way he touches you, his fingers brushing against yours with a tenderness that sets your soul on fire.
But your love is forbidden. You're foster siblings, technically family, and society would never approve of your feelings for each other. So you're stuck in this secret world, this limbo of unspoken emotions, where the only language you share is the language of the heart.
