This is a standalone Scars of the Wraiths.MAXFeelings are a luxury I can't afford. Hidden behind a shield of quiet placidity, I keep my secret safe from those who'd use it against me. Until him - the tatted up, self-centered Scar assassin hired to protect me.He takes pleasure in tormenting me, chipping away at my defenses as if I'm a toy to be played with. I hate that he continuously reminds me that I'm nothing more than a job. I hate that my body responds to his touch. I hate him.JASPERI'm not a good guy and I don't pretend to be. Condemn me if you want, I don't give a fuck. You're nothing to me. No one is... except her - Max. She's my target. And I was hired to do a hell of a lot more than protect her... I was hired to kill her.It should've been simple, but it was complicated as hell.Scars: Immortal warriors with capabilities derived from the senses: Trackers, Sounders, Healers, Tasters, Visionaries, and the rare Reflectors.
