8-Bit & Cat by Lucian Bane
She was meant to be his salvation. Instead, she became the obsession that unraveled them all.
Ever since Big G locked the Dungeon, Ethan—code name 8-Bit—hasn’t come home. He’s been running from his demons, leaving Catherine lost in the fallout of hunger and loneliness so sharp it cuts.
Until his digital brothers offer to help.
They’ve been watching. Learning. Waiting.
They know what Ethan is—what he craves. A masochist whose pleasure thrives in pain. A man who would tear himself apart before ever asking her to hold him together.
But they don’t believe in wasted suffering.
If she must bleed, then she must become something worthy of the scars.
If she lets them, they’ll teach her everything.
How to become the woman Ethan needs.
How to control his hunger. How to wield pain like a scalpel—precise, deliberate, and impossible to resist.
But something isn’t right. The lessons are shifting.
The boundaries blurring.
Soon Catherine begins to wonder…
Was this ever about saving Ethan?
Or was she the lesson all along?
