They Call Him Beast

For every beast there is a rose 🥀

He was everything those wicked rumours whispered him to be. Deadly, cruel and beastly, so far removed from humanity that he terrified anyone stupid enough to get too close.

It seemed I was the stupidest one of them all.

A naive, little lamb entranced by the majestic, killer lion. Impossibly drawn to him, unable to find the will to escape his clutches, no matter how dangerous I knew it was.

Because although he frightened me, threatened to kill me with every breath, there was a cruel twist of fate that I could not deny. His blackened, hidden heart was mine and me, well, I was his.
