(This is my first book so go easy on me haha☺)
Prologue
I'd never given much thought about love. Finding someone who makes your head spin and your mind go numb to all the problems constantly brewing inside. Who knew the most horrific state of mind you could imagine would show you such a magical and impossibly human being.
I took a deep breath and tried to see into this long, dark room, our breathing synchronized, his and mine as one. Another sound bounces off these high ceilings, causing him to shield me further into this tight, temperature rising space.
I now knew of the struggles of love. No one liked to mention those. The heartbreak, the pain, the agony of wanting someone you can't possibly have. I hated the feeling of lust and desire so strong I could crumble into pieces at the slightest movement, only because the subject of that wanting was dangerous. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't think, I couldn't breathe.
The air feels as if it's decreasing with each breath we take. Only the outline of his face is visible, wrinkles of distress are perfectly etched into his forehead. I feel his green eyes on me, observing my every move, my every breath.
This dream life offered me was so unbelievable, far beyond my wildest expectations. So who was I to pass up the possibility of the utterly most fascinating and alluring moments in my life because of fear.
His hot breath falls onto my sweaty neck, the tangled mess of my light-blonde hair is sure to be unruly, the tension and anxiety is so high I feel as if blinking could give us away. Another sound, more like the firing of a gun I suppose.
If I hadn't trusted this mysterious, and dazzling green eyed boy I wouldn't be facing all of the problems ahead of me now. But regretting that decision feels like putting a knife to my throat. How could I blame all of my problems on what brought me out of the dark?
"I love you." He breathes into my ear as he silently releases himself from my grasp. I watch as his fluent shadow turns the corner, revealing himself to the eyes of the hunter.
