My plans of revenge are ruined when Alessandro comes into my life.
His searing kiss feels like a blessing in disguise, and I’m swept off my feet by his all-too-charming ways.
But I can see the shadows in his eyes. He is hiding dark secrets, just like me.
Despite the flame he ignites in me with his touch, I still feel hollow. Hunting my enemies has consumed me.
I thought I was the one killing monsters, but then I became just like them. Like him.
Alessandro is fighting to show a me life beyond retaliation, but I fear he has come too late to save me.
Love blurs all lines, even those drawn in blood.
