I've always been empty. A void where a soul should be. Now, everything is different. Because of
her
...
Monsters aren't supposed to have empathy. That's why I was the perfect mafia enforcer. Cold. Brutal and efficient.
Until I dragged Luna into the dark with me.
Even as my captive, she shined her light into all the scarred, tortured parts of my world, forcing me to realize I might be human after all.
And I hate it.
I have no idea what to do with these emotions. Desires. The overwhelming need I have for her touch, her body, her soul.
I know I can protect her from our mutual enemy. That's why I kidnapped her in the first place.
But I'm starting to wonder if
I'm
the one who needs to be saved. Because for the first time in a long time, maybe ever, I think I'm...afraid.
After all, what kind of twisted beast will I become now that my heart-the one I only
just
realized I have-is in her delicate hands?
