Alaric Schuyler. Enigmatic, cocky, and my new brother-in-law. He had cerulean blue eyes and a smile so beautifully devious it could entice the devil to do his bidding. We were never supposed to happen. One night changed everything, tying him and me together in a sordid twist of fate, trapping me in his dark, chaotic world. The lucid dreams and sick fantasies followed. He became the star of my nightmares, always lurking in the shadows, awakening dormant demons one esoteric melody at a time. I became his muse, a part of everything he did. He would be the death of me. And in the end, I wanted nothing more. AUTHOR’S NOTE: \\\ Contains graphic language, frequent graphic sex, explicit scenes of horror, and very dark themes.\\\

There’s a method in his madness. Alaric is as brilliant as he is beautiful, and twice as deadly. He’s been watching me. Studying me. He’d planned to keep me long before I arrived on his doorstep. His chaotic world is now the prison I’m forced to call home. A place where nightmares and reality are indistinguishable. As I struggle to find some clarity in the lies and darkness that surround me, Alaric continues to manipulate from the shadows. . I’ve never hated anyone more. But he’s the one thing I’d happily die for. \Conclusion to Opaque Melodies. No cliffhanger.\
