“You lied to her,” the beast growled inside my mind. Its voice rolled like thunder from a far off storm.“You lied to yourself Arman."The sink cracked under my grip.“I won’t let you touch her.”I said“You already did. Every time you looked at her. Every time your heart ached for her. You gave me pieces, Arman. And I’m almost whole.”“Shut up.”“I am you.”It sneered.“You think love will save you? Love is the key, Arman. Her love will open the last gate. When she says it… I’ll be free. And you ”It laughed.“You’ll watch.”Pain surged through me, tearing through my chest like claws beneath my skin. My knees buckled.“Stop!” I gasped.“I’ll wear your face,” Kazaal whispered.“And when she touches me, when she believes it’s you... I’ll ruin her from the inside out.”“NO!” I screamed, voice hoarse, broken.My reflection twisted.Darkness flickered in my eyes.Kazaal grinned from the mirror.“She’ll say it. You know she will. And when she does…”The glass cracked.“There will be no cage, Arman. No spell. No mother. No bloodline strong enough to stop what I’ll become.”Blood dripped from my nose. My heart thundered.I collapsed, body heaving, soul fraying.Kazaal’s voice faded with a final whisper:“Next time… I’ll take more.”Arman has spent most of his life imprisoned by a secret, a monster buried deep within him.He was hidden from the world by his powerful parents who are obsessed with reputation, he was trained not to feel, not to love, and above all, not to let the beast rise.But when he met Eira a woman who’s everything he’s supposed to avoid cracks begin to form, The evil he hides begin to Open.
