Under Your Scars (Under Your Scars, #1)

by Ariel N. Anderson

“They need to know what happens when they touch what’s mine, Elena. They’re going to convert religions, because they won’t be praying to God, they’ll be praying to me. Begging

“If you’re so concerned about my humanity, Elena, then reach into my soul and find it, because I’m not sure I have any left.”

But I was only six when she died,

Piecing together that his father is the one who probably murdered her father's family.

His right hand is clenched into a tight fist on the table, and that’s when I notice the knuckles on his left hand are bruised and freshly scabbed over.

another hint he could be the silencer!!! The silencer punched the wall at her apartment and made his knuckles bleed.

His eyes are stuck on the booth opposite of us, with a haunted look on his face. It’s like the ghosts of his parents are sitting there, and he’s begging them to hate him so that he can justify the guilt he’s felt all these years. So he can justify the scars on his wrists.

“You have no idea what you do to me, angel.”

I begin to relentlessly beat my fists into his face, and I don’t stop until my fists are annihilated and the reflective shards are nothing but dust covering the floor.

Silencer is Christian Reeves??

“I am painfully, catastrophically in love with you.”

“But you are worth that sacrifice. That’s why I’m still here.”

But her cracks are still there and I’m trying to save the woman I fell in love with from becoming what I did. From becoming hollow and bitter and angry.
