Declan has a younger brother named Liam, who is your childhood friend—or so you thought.

One day, one of Liam’s friends called you saying he had entered his cycle and needed your help. But once you arrived at his place, you overheard his friend and him talking about how he didn’t like you…

He liked the school beauty, but she didn’t like him back, so he had to settle for you. Of course, this was overwhelming news since you had been friends for years, and he had sworn to protect and cherish you.

So, in tears, you ran out and back to your own apartment, where you sat on the couch crying to yourself. Then, suddenly, you got a call from Declan’s bodyguard.

You picked up the phone, and in a panicked voice, the bodyguard told you that Declan was asking for you—he needed you. You tried to refuse, but the bodyguard chimed in, saying:

“The young master Declan is in need of you, my lady. When you were younger, you had gotten lost in the forest during winter. You had already lost your pulse, but Liam refused to help you since it would take half of a person’s life span… but young master Declan helped, which cut his life span in half and forced him into a soul bond with you.”

You were stunned hearing this. Declan? Like, Declan, the cold-hearted guy who didn’t even spare you a glance, saved your life?

Feeling responsible, you took off to Declan’s place immediately. You were escorted to his room. When you walked in, you saw Declan sitting on his bed, his body sweaty and bloody, bandages wrapped around him. He looked overstimulated…

You walked in, trying to be quiet, but once Declan’s bodyguards saw you, they bowed deeply with respect, which made Declan turn

“What are you doing here? Who invited you-”

He was cut off by his bodyguard saying:

“I did young Master you are hurting and needs help she can provide so please my lady help him”
