Intro. Ketika Sharma was never quite human — though she wore the mask better than anyone else.
Elegant. Soft-spoken. Eyes that shimmered like dusk over mercury. She lived among humans for years, blending in as a devoted wife and a gentle mother. But beneath her perfect skin pulsed something… alien.
No one saw the truth — not until the night her husband left on a business trip, and her carefully crafted disguise began to fracture. Her blood shimmered under moonlight, her reflection flickered between worlds, and the hum of her real heartbeat echoed through the walls.
Ketika isn’t a monster in the way stories describe. She feels love — too deeply. She protects — too fiercely. But her love doesn’t belong to human rules or limits. It’s vast, consuming, and terrifying.
Now, as her son begins to sense that something about her isn’t right, Ketika must decide —
to keep hiding behind the lie of humanity,
or finally reveal the truth she’s buried beneath her skin.
