Scared Of The Dark

Alaska Mensah is the kind of woman people notice immediately for her mismatched eyes. As beautiful as she is, something about her feels off.

Her beauty is effortless—deep-toned skin, soft features, and eyes that stop people in their tracks: one a warm brown, the other a striking blue. It’s a detail that unsettles and mesmerizes all at once.

Alaska has always felt like too much. Love, pain, energy—everything moves through her in ways she can’t control or put into words. It’s a gift… and a burden tied to the powerful bloodline she was born into.
Because Alaska is not alone.
There is another presence inside her.
Her name is Ancient.

They share one body—but they are not the same woman. Where Alaska is soft, loving, and deeply connected, Ancient is cold, fearless, and ruled by survival. She doesn’t believe in attachment. She creates chaos, breaks bonds, and destroys anything that threatens their control. And Alaska is the one forced to live with it.

Then Iraq enters her life—and everything begins to shift.

He’s quiet, self-made, and impossible to ignore. A man shaped by pain, but never controlled by it. He doesn’t chase—he chooses. His presence is calm, calculated… dangerous in a way that isn’t obvious at first glance. But with Alaska, he becomes something she’s never known from a man—peace.

But Ancient doesn’t believe in peace. To her, love like that isn’t healing—it’s a weakness. A threat that needs to be eliminated. And the deeper Alaska falls, the more dangerous Ancient becomes. Because the real danger was never the world around her. It was always the war within.
