About Mystique: Forged in Fire
|
Before he stands beside Octavia, Chad is something far more dangerous. He is a boy shaped by loss, abandonment, and the kind of trauma that never truly lets go. He learns early that survival means making impossible choices and living with the consequences. When the only person he has left lies dying in his arms, Chad makes a deal that changes his existence forever. Remade into something no longer entirely human, he becomes a weapon bound to a purpose he never chose. But even a hollowed-out vessel holds echoes of its past. As buried memories surface, the line between the monster and the man begins to fracture. Chad must confront the truth of his creation, the weight of his sins, and the terrifying reality of what he’s become. This is the story that was never told. The truth behind the deal. The truth behind the demon. And the truth behind why he disappears. Some choices do not just change your life. They define your soul. |
