Red Society #2: Meast Schneider I should've walked away the moment his world touched mine, but some dangers don't cut you right away. . .they seduce you, slow and quiet, until you're drowning and the burn in your lungs feels like desire. Power is a beautiful poison, and Meast Schneider was the dose that tasted like salvation right before it ruined me. He wasn't the monster. . .his world was, his past was, and I was the fool who stepped into the fire believing I could survive loving a man carved from violence and shadows. I tried to save him, but in the end, it was his darkness that swallowed me whole. I burned in that space between fear and longing, between danger and want, between the man he could be and the monster everyone demanded he become. And me? I was the softest thing in a world that punished softness... yet I still walked toward him, willingly, the way all doomed things walk toward the flame.
