The night I was bullied and left to drown in a bathtub, Lucas pulled me from the edge of death.

I had believed no one could ever love me—except maybe Kayla, my best and only friend. The world had made sure I knew my place: an unwanted, overweight girl, unworthy of affection, let alone passion.

But then there was Lucas.

Godlike in his beauty, and he didn't just save my life—he gave me everything I’d ever ached for. A lavish home. Organic meals prepared just for me. The kind of care I’d only ever fantasized about.

So what if he isn’t human?
So what if his love comes with secrets?

I stopped caring the moment his hands first brushed the water from my lips.

I hated being holed up here like an animal, manifesting into the very thing my abusers molded me to be. It was their scorn and violence that whittled me down to this. And after all I had suffered, I was bearing the brunt. I wasn’t a good enough victim so they made me into a villain.


I was on the brink of a breakdown—another one. I had to calm down. I reversed and plopped down on the bed, edging back to huddle in a corner to gather what little warmth I could. It used to be so difficult to wrap my arms around my plumb figure. It still was but now it was slightly less so. 


I had to rest, but sleep struggled to find me here. Every moment was a nightmare I couldn’t wake from. I slouched into the cold crook, closing my eyes. After a while of floating in darkness, I plummeted.
