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 could’ve snapped into the middle of the terminal like a bolt of lightning, silenced the screaming with a flick of my hand, and been gone before the security guards wet themselves.


But I wasn’t here to show off. I was here to clean up a mess—one that Lucas clearly didn’t understand. And I couldn’t afford to risk damaging my vessel just because some human might drop their Starbucks and point a phone at me.


A filthy, narrow vent shaft, barely wide enough for my shoulders. I moved slowly, pressing elbows into metal, letting dust cling to Alicia’s skin. I hated every second of it. The smell, the noise, the weakness of this body’s joints after weeks of confinement.


I paused near the final shaft opening above the baggage claim. The humans below scrolled, shuffled, stared blankly at luggage spinning in circles. None of them looked up.
