Karen Had I’d known what would happen the moment I met him, things might have ended differently. If I’d seen who he really was behind that perfectly placed mask, maybe I wouldn’t have fallen for a man surrounded in darkness. Even if I try to out run the beast that lies within him, my feelings only grow stronger. No matter what I do, he’s always there to bring me back. He also makes me realize that I need more from him than just freedom. One way or another, I’m going to have to decide if I want to accept the monster just waiting to break free or keep trying to escape my fate of becoming his forever. Jason If I’d known the moment I met her I would need her, crave her, and want to possess her so much, I might have turned the other way. She would’ve never seen the monster I try so hard to keep hidden, but the second my mask slipped, she saw who I really was. Even if she doesn’t want to be in my world of darkness, there is no escaping it. I can’t change what I’ve done, and no matter how hard I try to keep her safe, my enemies continue to come after us. I shouldn’t want her as badly as I do, but every single part of me wants to claim her mind, body, and soul. I shouldn’t want her, and if I continue to hold her close, I risk the chance of losing the very thing I need the most.
