I was born to serve the system. For her, I’ll tear it apart.

I’ve been watching her. I don’t know why. I don’t understand what keeps pulling me back. Day after day.

Sentinels don’t want. Don’t choose. Don’t break. Until something goes wrong.

Until I do.

Hazel thinks I’m a strange mountain man who keeps appearing outside her bakery. She has no idea what I really am—or what I’ve done. For centuries, I’ve obeyed. Built the constructs that hunt our enemies. Enforced the orders of a system that recognizes neither choice nor mercy.

Then Hazel smiles at me.

The longer I watch her, the more everything I was built to believe begins to fracture. My control slips. The orders I’ve followed for centuries start to feel like lies. Even the machines I created begin to change.

And when the same forbidden force I've spent centuries fighting chooses Hazel as my mate, I make one catastrophic assumption: That means she’ll choose me, too.

I was wrong.

Now the system I served is coming for us both, and protecting the only woman I have ever loved may require the one thing I never thought I could survive.

Letting her go.

I was built to withstand supernovas and war. Turns out I’m fragile where she’s concerned. And one human heart might undo an entire species.
