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?
