SAVAGE GRACE || JAX TELLER

"I wanna kill you... but fuck, I wanna kiss you as well."

Let's just say Jax Teller and Melody Mikaelson were never going to be friends. They were a total disaster waiting to happen ever since they met back in high school.

Jax decided immediately that Melody, with her put-together girly clothes and perfect smile, was his favorite punching bag. He'd bully her constantly, making her feel like a naive outsider.

But Melody wasn't afraid to fight dirty. She hit him right where it hurt, talking major trash about his family and the whole Sons of Anarchy life, thinking she was untouchable because she had a perfect family.

Big mistake.

Turns out, Melody's perfect life was a total lie. Her parents died in some mysterious way, leaving her with just her brother. Jax finds this out later, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.

He uncovers another secret-something so massive and screwed up-that it stops being fun and games. Suddenly, Jax isn't just annoyed by her; he feels a deep, cold hatred that makes him genuinely think about putting her in the dirt.

Their animosity is pure, toxic fire. But in Charming, sometimes the line between wanting to kill someone and desperately wanting to kiss them just... vanishes.

They both thought this intense hate would destroy the other, but neither of them saw what it was actually going to turn into.
