My life has been a series of one nightmare after another. Every day is a fight to be stronger as I try to outrun the past that refuses to give me peace. Somehow, I managed to keep myself under control...
Until Bunky messed it all up.
His soul screams to mine in a way that awakens every part of me, even the parts I’ve tried to keep buried. We’re a jagged fit, a match made in Hell, but I can’t have him because together we’d burn the world to the ground.
Bunky doesn’t see that. He’d rather fuel the toxic fire of obsession than give up, and I don’t know how much longer I can hold out before I cave to the demon that everyone should fear.
Including him.
Bunky-
I’m not what most people would consider normal.
Everything in my life is touched by darkness and shaped by my past. Living life constantly on the brink of being swallowed up by the monster that wants to consume me is exhausting, so I drowned myself in vices to try and smother the memories.
Until I realized all I needed was my missing piece.
Whaley flipped a switch in my brain, making me see he was meant to be mine, but he's not letting us be together like we were made to. He’s too worried we'll destroy everything in our path if we give in to the connection that tethers us together.
Good thing I have no problem watching the world burn if it means I get him.
