Lust (Prey #2)

by Carmen Rosales

Life isn’t a fairy tale you make up in your head or read in a book. Things happen. People use you. They try to break you. But one thing I have learned is that’s the nature of the beast. Evil doesn’t die. It morphs throughout time.

I read somewhere that your first love is the love that teaches you the most. It’s not when you give your heart away; it’s the moment they do something to crush your heart. It’s in those moments that the learning really begins. In a split second, it occurs. It’s their way of showing you what you mean to them. In my case, I mean nothing. I was considered a little more than a pawn in a bigger game—a bigger plan.

I'm not the good guy. I'm the villain. And the villain takes what he wants.

Fuck with what’s mine, and I’ll destroy it. I’ll lift the world and drop it on their fucking heads.
