My body trembled, but not from the cold. "You frighten me." His brow twitched, eyes darting around the features of my face. "Frighten, or excite?" His gaze dropped to my mouth. "Which is it, Miss Young?" ❆ Once upon a time in a dying village, there lived a girl who dreamed of a life free of fear and death. She yearned for a world not ruled by the darkness and the demons awaiting her inside it... For nearly eighteen years, Adaira Young has been able to hide from the monsters that plague her small village. Every year in Kinnot, a name must be drawn to be offered to the beasts from the mountains. Once they are sacrificed and disappear through the gates, they are never seen again. When Adaira's world comes crashing down around her and she finds herself on the outside of those very walls, Adaira comes face to face with the monster she's been cowering from all her life: A terrifying man named Beast. Whisked away to his palace in the icy mountains, Adaira struggles to adjust to her new life and fight the dangerous feelings of attraction growing inside her. But as the days grow colder and their relationship grows stronger, a deadly secret from Beast's past threatens to shatter everything. To live, he needs the one thing Adaira has to die for in order to love her: her heart. **A Beauty and the Beast retelling🖤♥️ Updates randomly, but mainly Friday's ⚠️❗️This book includes material that may be graphic to some viewers.

DISCLAIMER: THESE IMAGES ARE NOT OWENED BY ME. THEY ARE FROM THE INTERNET. Story and characters are all mine. DO NOT REPOST MY BOOK. Some strong language is used. PREVIEW Dread, Grief, Love. Is that what she feels? Is she just growing madder on her own? Is Talboris a figment of their imagination? Or is it just you, Akari. You've been thrown into Hell, the Hell that disguises as a safe haven, the Hell that will consume you from the inside out. A lonely tree growing from one seed. You. Your anger. Its roots taint you. Yet all this time, it feels like you've been on a cushioned bed, on the wrong side, dreaming nightmares, monsters grabbing at your ankles. Will you be pulled away? I'm open to criticism if you guys have ideas on what I should add or how to make my writing better! I may end up deleting this book. Tell me if I should continue it. I will make edits whenever I get more ideas. Enjoy the read, I hope you like it! ^^ Please share if you do. Started: September 24, 2021
