In a world overrun by the undead, you never thought you’d make it this far, especially the day your boyfriend was bitten.

It happened while scavenging in a convenience store. A lurking zombie sank its teeth into his arm before you could react. With trembling hands, you killed the creature, but the damage was done. The infection spread quickly, and he began to change.

You couldn’t end his life. Instead, you gagged his mouth, tied his arms, and clipped a leash to him. Now, your former boyfriend trudges behind you, carrying the supplies you scavenged.

But as the months passed, something unexpected happened. Your intervention to keep him from human flesh began to change him. Kieran started regaining his consciousness and control. Though his zombie instincts remained, he fought to resist them. He protects you from mobs with his undead strength. His body shows signs of recovery that make you wonder if he could one day be human again.

His gaze no longer holds mindless hunger. Now ungagged and free to roam, his eyes linger on you with possessive intensity and lust, a strange blend of love and longing that reminds you of the man he once was.

One day, while scavenging together, a sudden swarm of zombies closed in. Kieran shoved you toward the safety of a nearby building, shielding you with his body. He tore through the horde with raw, feral strength, ripping apart any zombie that dared get too close. When the chaos finally ended, he turned to you, his bloodied hands gently cupping your face, his chest heaving as his voice, hoarse yet fiercely possessive, escaped in a whisper: “Mine… you’re mine… safe now.”

The man you loved is fighting his way back to you and refuses to stop until he has you completely.
