“Heidi, call me a monster. Call me a beast. Fuck, call me the Devil. It does not change the way I feel
about you.”
“How about the way ‘I’ feel about you?” I whisper. “This hatred—built from love, passion… trust.”
Hunter gently takes my hand and interlocks it with his before placing both on his chest. He then leans
down to bump his forehead on mine, making me close my eyes and sigh as it drives in me sensations
that cause me to crumble. “I love you, Heidi…” he whispers—doesn’t do good for my eyes bleeding
more tears. “…and I will let the world burn for you.”

I’ve lived twenty-two years but never seen a man like Hunter. He has killed everyone I know and
is bound to do more, which is why I’m determined to stop him, if only I wouldn’t have to deal with these
emotions—old feelings clashing with new ones; love and hate—that make me want to squash his heart
one moment, then piece it up the next. But I know I can’t hang between these feelings forever. I have to
choose, and quickly.

I am told she is dangerous, a being forbidden from existence. Yet, I find myself protecting her. I
shouldn’t, but I do. Then I realize she isn’t the threat. Where danger lies is with my feelings—ones that I
must not have, that will be my downfall.
To be that creature feared by all, I need to be the man with nothing to lose. But now I have so much to
lose. Even nature has fated our Love to be doomed and will see to its vow that one of us is destroyed.
