"I'm a monster!" he shouted in my face, his veins popping out on his neck. I tried to hold my tears but failed, all these months of patience and anger caused my body to shake, my heart was pounding so loud in my chest that my blood was boiling in my veins. "No Harry! You're not a monster!" I cried out loud, my chest rising and falling from my heavy breathing. He clenched his jaw and fisted his palms and in seconds, he punched the wall that was behind me right next to me, making me gasp for air. All the anger that built inside me was now replaced by fear as his piercing green eyes turned to a darker shade. "How can you say that after what I did to you?" he hissed, his hot breath hitting my swollen lips, his nostrils flaring. I took a deep shakey breath before I parted my lips to answer him. "Because I can see through you, Harry. I can see your innocence."

He never knew life could be this way, but truly if he did, he wouldn't have cared. He cared about nothing, not even himself until her. Before her, he was empty/ Before her he knew nothing of joy or completion, and this is his journey to his life After her.

Tessa Young is an 18 year old college student with a simple life, excellent grades, and a sweet boyfriend. She always has things planned out ahead of time, until she meets a rude boy named Hardin, with too many tattoos and piercings who shatters her plans.

Harry Stevens grita peligro en cada poro del cuerpo y no precisamente por las escandalosas cicatrices que lleva en el lado izquierdo de la cara. Es la clase de chico con el que no quieres involucrarte porque sabes, por sobre todas las cosas, que va a destrozarte. Es de la clase de hombre que guarda una cantidad aterradora de secretos lo suficientemente perturbadores como para hacer que quieras huir de él lo antes posible. Es de la clase de hombre que, pese a todo el odio y rencor acumulado que carga sobre los hombros, es capaz de hacerte tocar el cielo con un beso... Sé que no es de fiar. Sé que debo poner cuanta distancia sea posible entre él y yo porque su mundo acabará con el mío si no le pongo un punto final a lo que siento..., pero no puedo hacerlo. No puedo huir de él. No, cuando la oscuridad que vive dentro de él se disipa cuando está a mi alrededor. No, cuando lo amo del modo en el que lo hago... El ángel vino en forma de bestia y vino a salvarme. Quizás... -solo quizás- vino a acabar conmigo. » Queda rigurosamente prohibida, sin autorización escrita por parte del autor, bajo las sanciones establecidas por las leyes, la reproducción total y/o parcial, adaptación, distribución, en cualquier medio impreso y/o digital de esta obra por cualquier medio o procedimiento.
