It was true Paige Summers didn't need a shield to stand in front of her. But she wasn't some invincible heroine; when faced with an overwhelmingly powerful enemy, she had her limits, too.
What she needed was a partner—someone she had a tacit understanding with, someone she could trust implicitly, someone to watch her back.
And out of everyone, the one she trusted most, the one she felt most comfortable relying on, was none other than Marcus Monroe.
Perhaps it was because she had met him so early on, and they had watched each other grow step by step. Or perhaps it was because they had been through so much together. Through it all, Paige had come to believe he was someone she could place her utmost trust in.
And she could tell it wasn't just her; Marcus felt the same way.
That was why they had ended up together.
'What? You're saying this is just trust, not love?'
'Don't be ridiculous!'
'This is the apocalypse, you know?'
