In a world of forgotten memories and lethal secrets, Anastasia Moreau fights for survival. Awakening in a sinister laboratory with no recollection of her past, she escapes, only to be taken under the wing of a notorious killer who molds her into an assassin. Her goal: ascend the ranks within the elusive assassin organization known as RACQI, all while unraveling the secrets of her own lost memories. But Anastasia carries a crippling burden—PTSD that renders her incapable of taking a life. Her flaw threatens to shatter her dream until a final chance arises: an assignment to eliminate Valerian Vincenzo Vanguardia, the prime minister's formidable son. A task laced with complications, for Valerian possesses otherworldly abilities and a personality that clashes with everything Anastasia stands for. When a series of gruesome murders entangles them with Ambrose Riese, the youngest scion of the powerful Spes Lawfirm, the trio forms an uneasy alliance to confront a rising tide of chaos. In their struggle against deadly foes, including bloodthirsty zombies and alien creatures, Ana and Valerian's animosity transforms into an unexpected connection, sparking a slow-burning attraction that defies the odds. As darkness threatens to consume them, they must navigate treacherous paths, facing inner demons and forging unlikely alliances. The lines blur between heroes and villains as they battle not only external threats but also the shadows within themselves. Ana's journey becomes a thrilling odyssey of redemption, truth, and justice, leading her to question whether she can triumph over her past or risk becoming something far more sinister. The fate of a fractured world hangs in the balance, and Ana's choices will determine whether she rises as a hero or succumbs to the darkness. Prepare for a saga where alliances shift, allegiances blur, and the past casts a haunting shadow on an uncertain future.

Chapter 32: Immortal Dogs?

•Mr. Webb's Shelter for Dogs, 5th Ward•

Valerian

"About your offer…" Ana said in a gloomy voice devoid of life. A stark contrast to how she usually was: annoyingly optimistic and irritatingly stubborn.

"Finally!" A voice from behind the trees shouted. "Who would put a dog shelter in such a hard place to find?!" The voice complained as a ball of blonde hair peeked out of the trees. "Oh? Why are you both here?" Ambrose asked surprised.

"Let's talk later" Ana whispered to Valerian as Ambrose approached them while removing the stray leaves that managed to cling to his hair and clothes.

"Can you believe how long it takes to get here?! If I didn't find that shortcut, it would have taken hours" Ambrose exclaimed.

"I'm pretty sure that shortcut was what got you lost" Ana teased as she put on a strained smile. Valerian didn't understand why she had to put on a fake smile.
