Love here isn’t gentle. It’s survival.
Teeth, fists, and promises made in blood — some bonds are forged in the dark, and they burn brighter because of it.

Needs of Human Pets explores, forced proximity, and the pet dynamic. A story of grief, love, and unconventional salvation. Who rescues whom? Who’s training whom? Touch-starved intimacy meets unhinged devotion. Sawyer and Velvet’s chaotic connection challenges the cost of being seen. #BluePit 📖 #P
