The expressions etched on her face brought up memories of that small bird Mama gifted me when I was twelve. Her wide eyes, filled with terror, mirrored the frightened gaze of that helpless creature.

I recalled the sickening thrill coursing through me as I held the small blade, the bird's frantic heartbeat pulsating against my palm.

And I had felt nothing. No guilt. No regret. Just a deep, insatiable satisfaction that settled in my bones, a hunger that never quite left.

Mama knew then—knew I wasn’t meant for the dull, sanitised world the rest of them lived in. And maybe, for a time, she mourned the sweet, innocent child she thought she had. But in the end, she saw the truth. She saw the monster lurking beneath my skin, the wildfire that couldn’t be tamed.

Because I wasn’t born to be good. I was born to ruin

Papa said I was born to reign it. No doubts or questions.

When I confessed to him that the shadows no longer danced in my mind, that the whispers had quieted to a mere murmur, it w

    He was looking at me. At least that’s what it seemed like.Unshielded hunter’s eyes, staring right through my soul and piercing me as if he could demolish me whole. Finish me whole. Shifting unconsciously, trying to ignore the sensation of my wet jeans clinging to my legs and the damp sweater plastered against my skin. The cold I felt seeped deeper than the fabric or the snow that had snuck into my jacket. It was his gaze that truly chilled me to the bone.That unbothered, unfocused, hollow gaze.I wondered what was happening in his head, and the icy draft slipping in from the slightly open window didn’t help either. I had forced myself to shut it, sealing out the storm outside—but I could still feel it. Just like I could still feel his stare.And wasn't he cold? He was only wearing a robe, like yesterday. At least this time, he had the modesty to tie it up.I, on the other hand, had to jump the wall and eat the snow. Just great. He didn’t even have the damn modesty to hire a gatekeep

    cleared my throat and called out, not realising how timid I sounded. "S-sir..."His jaw twitched, and he tilted his head to the side, his eyes narrowing with an intensity that made my pulse quicken. I thought he was glaring at me for a moment, but then a slow, predatory smile spread across his face. He opened his mouth and I swallowed hard, my throat dry. He clasped his hand firmly around my wrist, guiding the fork to his mouth with a controlled strength that sent a shiver down my spine.His lips wrapped around the fork, his gaze never leaving mine, and he pulled away with deliberate slowness, making me forget how cold it was in the room. His eyes dark and unwavering,g seemed to burn into me as if challenging me.I ignored the sensations and pulled my hand away to focus on the task at hand. Feed him and maintain a twenty-foot distance. I could tell my cheeks were burning, either from embarrassment or the way his touch left a lingering sensation behind. Gathering my strength, I cut th

    A week had passed since I stumbled out of his bathroom, breathless and shaken. My head was a mess, my body barely holding itself together. I could hardly recall the next half hour—only that Judas had dismissed me without a glance, his presence colder than ever.Kyle drove me back to the dorm in suffocating silence. As soon as we arrived, I bolted to my room, collapsing onto my bed in damp jeans and a flimsy sweater, too drained to care. That’s when I realized—I’d left my sweater at his place.Guilt twisted in my gut. I had doubted his blindness. As if his strength somehow erased his vulnerability. But no one wanted to feel helpless, especially not a man like him.I stared at the ceiling, willing my thoughts away from him. But they refused to listen.His hunter’s eyes. The way they speared through me—like he was looking and yet wasn’t. A man who sounded like sin and danger wrapped in silk. My heart pounded. His face. His jaw. His sinful body.What was I thinking?Why was I thinking abo

    Ivan: See you in a few hours. 'grinning emoji.'Grinning, I quickly typed.Seraphina: Waiting. 'Blushing'. After finishing my assignments, I cleared the table and reached for my clothes. My gaze landed on the sweater I had been looking forward to wearing—a chunky, knitted beige cardigan with delicate red bows scattered across the front. The V-neckline was simple, fastened down the centre with matching red buttons. It was a gift from my father, and after two years, slipping it on felt like wrapping myself in a memory. A quiet, bittersweet kind of nostalgia settled over me.I paired it with my favourite boot-cut jeans, layering a red turtleneck underneath for warmth. The fabric hugged me in all the right places.Standing before the mirror, I ran my fingers through my freshly washed hair. For once, it didn’t resemble a bird’s nest. Still, indecision gnawed at me as I debated how to style it.After a moment, I sighed, surrendering to simplicity. I braided small sections, tying them off w

    I was raised by monsters, built around the edges and perfectly aligned voids. I believed in reasons, reasons behind reasons. Nothing was fateful. Everything was pre-planned. I was taught to see life as a grand chessboard, where every move was calculated and every outcome was inevitable.Emotions were mere equations, and relationships were strategic puzzles.I was a man of games, violence, and control, though that was slipping through my hands nowadays. Some might call me apathetic. Ruining and destroying everything in my path to get what I want without feeling an ounce of remorse or empathy.And that's how I preferred it. That's how this world preferred me. A mystery. A secret. A sinful and handsome disaster. A storm.There hadn't been a thing I wanted and hadn't got it. Though I get easily bored, the joy, the power of getting things done my way, was beyond the feeling of blood rushing through my veins.Women dropped to their knees, worshipping the ground I walked on if I as much look

    I echoed the word dripping with sarcasm, as I rose to my height. She flinched. I took a step closer. "If you're so inclined to offer your... services, Ptichka." I stopped till her neck craned to look at me. Fear and what looked like defiance danced in her eyes amusing me to the point I desired to play with her and she hooked her trembling hands under my arm.She was small, barely reached my chest, and she thought she could assist me. Laughable.I let her have the power for a while, helping me up and become my cane. But I had other plans. I was in the mood for something fun.She stiffened when I reached and draped my arm over her shoulder, her tiny body shivering for a second as she swallowed again, red tinted the back of her neck and I looked at her hair. Again glittery bows decorated her head. Did she doll up to impress me? Nah, she thought I was blind.Then for whom?She opened the door with her other hand, and I draped my body over hers. She stumbled, then balanced herself to glare

    "Your mouth," His thumb pressed against my lips as I sucked in a deep breath. "Around my cock."When I was thirteen, my mother taught me a thing or two about society. At that time it was just blabbers of hers and nothing more than that.Stay away from trouble.Do not bring boys home.No late night outs.Never associate yourself with people who view you as nothing more than just dust on their shoes.The first three I could understand.The man in front of me viewed me as nothing more than just dust under his shoes. Maybe I looked easy to him. Desperate for money he thought I would sell my dignity for his pleasure. I had been called worse in my life- Cheater, teacher's pet, desperate, poor, fat, but never a prostitute.Anger simmered like hot lava. "I'm sorry if I gave the wrong impression, sir. But I have to refuse." Defiance shone bright in my eyes.The maniac bit back a grin.And I held myself back from punching him in the face and knocking him down though I knew I'd hurt myself in th

    Ivan nodded, and then his eyes raked over me again like earlier. Something flashed in them, and before I could fully process it, he stepped forward."Well," he leaned and kissed my cheek. "Have a good night."For a moment I stood there. Rooted to the ground. Staring at him without any of my senses working. And then butterflies in my stomach fluttered. And my forced smile turned into a genuine grin."Good night to you too, Ivan." I was sure my cheeks must be burning red. Ivan licked his lips and then waved."See ya'." He said and I turned around screaming and giggling in my head. Did he just kiss me? I walked forward, hoping Ivan didn't see the look on my face. Would he find me desperate too?Just like Judas said. Would I ever find the peace I desperately craved? Like dark clouds over delicate dawn. A life. I wanted to give it meaning, not to fade like a forgotten song. I didn't want it to end before I truly saw what happiness was. Before I saw what a real smile looked like on my mothe

    My stomach lurched bile rising in my throat again as I emptied the contents in the toilet.I shut my eyes tightly as I tried to brush away the sight of those lifeless eyes, the paleness of the skin, the blood matted in the hair—it was a grotesque vision straight out of a nightmare.I tried to swallow but the lump of fear was trapped in my throat choked by terror making my body paralysed.I could still see the horrified face twisted in a final expression of fear as if the person had met their end in sheer agony. The bad, I didn’t want to think who it was. The worst, why would anyone send me… this?I didn’t know how or when I made it to the room and locked myself in the bathroom. I couldn’t look at them anymore. My scream woke up the dorm and soon the guards were there followed by several students, and to my horror, none of them could offer me any comfort. The horror on their faces mirrored mine, but it couldn’t compare to what I was feeling.My breath came in ragged gasps and I could f

    I looked at him slowly.His cold eyes bore into me, sending another wave of terror through my body.And whatever suspicion I had, his eyes confirmed.Ivan mentioned there were two men.What if… what if I was doubting the wrong man all along when…I staggered my legs felt like jelly, barely able to support my weight, and my fingers tingled with the onset of numbness. Every nerve in my body screamed at me to run, but I couldn’t move. I was trapped, my mind and body betraying me."Are you alright, Ms. Rosewood?" Kyle’s voice dripped with false concern, his smile never reaching his eyes.Heavily mocking realisation engulfed me.I was in over my head, surrounded by darkness and danger.Kyle's grip tightened again, and without another word, he began leading me down the hall.Why? Why would he do that to me?‘Your mouth, around my cock.’Was it... because I refused to sleep with him? The horror of realization struck me like a lightning bolt. The stalking—oh God, the stalking—had begun that v

    I had my first kiss when I was in high school, well, it was a kiss for me even if my lips barely touched his cheek.And that’s what I believed a kiss should feel like. That’s the distance I ever walked towards a male species. I thought Yuri was a kind boy, with deep brown eyes and sharp features. He was half-Japanese and everything I liked in a boy.But I never confessed.I couldn’t. Not when I saw the blonde girl hanging off his arms. I believed the crush should have come to an end. But I couldn’t. It hurt me to see him with her and when I didn’t see him, it hurt more.My friend convinced me it was just one-sided until Yuri cornered me at the gym. I was so flustered and shy that I couldn’t say anything. And when he arrogantly proposed I should confess to him, I refused. Not that I no longer liked him. No. It was the eeriness. The numbness inside me that halted me. Partly because I knew I was just a nerd wearing glasses, and he deserved someone like Christine, the blonde with him.But

    From my vantage point, I could see the raw power in his ruthlessness the way his muscles tensed and rippled under his skin. His grip on her throat tightened and loosened with intended precision, ensuring she was on the brink, never fully allowing her the breath she so desperately craved.My eyes widened. W-what was happening?"Harder, Judas!"I never realized a woman could look so helpless in a man’s arms.Judas pounded relentlessly from behind, and she gasped and grunted with twisted pleasure as he roughly played with her nipples. His tattoos glistened under the dim light, making the cuts of his muscles seem sinisterly dangerous. The suffocating scent of sex and lust reeked.My heart pounded in my chest as I watched, unable to look away.Her body writhed under his control, utterly at his mercy, and it filled me with dread. Each of his thrusts echoed through the room with the relentless rhythm that made my breath catch.I was terrified by how consumed they both seemed to be.His hunger

    I warned you.The words stared back at me. And I didn’t know what to do. There were two possibilities, it was either the stalker or whoever that strange was, or someone was playing with me. Whatever it was, I wasn’t going to be a scared lamb anymore. It was too much. No one had any business or right to frighten me like this.I decided to take control. First, I blocked the number. Whoever it was, they wouldn't get the satisfaction of seeing me scared anymore.I thought about calling the police, but then I remembered I was in a different country. The local authorities might not take a foreigner's complaint seriously, and involving the police back home would be complicated and slow.I needed to do something else.Staying alone in the university till this fest was over suddenly felt too risky. My thoughts turned to the dorms. They had security, and there would be people around. It was the safest place I could think of right now.I quickly wiped away my cheeks, not wanting to waste any tim

    I learned a thing or two today.I didn’t like these events. Not the people. Not the loud voices. And definitely not that motherfucker.And it was truly a strenuous task to not jump down the fucking stage, and slit his throat right then and there before cutting off his finger he was touching my little bird with. The rage boiled within me and I hated this new feeling.It was concerning I wanted to already see blood when I just caused mayhem two hours ago.Patience, I told myself. It would be so easy, so gratifying to end him now, but no. Not here. Not in front of all these eyes. There was a time and place for everything, and his time was coming. Soon."You’re glaring," I heard Kyle mutter, and I tore my gaze from the crowd where my little bird was. She thought she’d blend in with all these useless humans, and I wouldn’t notice her. I could see her in the back, trying to hide behind the mundane faces, but she stood out to me like a beacon.There was no way she didn’t know I’d be here. Wa

    I was nervous.To the point, I had been staring at my phone for the past two hours now.Ivan dropped a text earlier saying he wanted to show me something. And I dreaded that something. I had been avoiding him for two days now. After that night, I hadn't even gone to the mansion let alone answer any of Ivan's texts. It might seem rude on my part, but I wanted to be cautious."Can't fucking believe we have to hear the hour-long speech," The girl beside me muttered and I gave her a look over. Her distinct brown hair with purple streaks caught my eyes first, then her stripped blazer, and micro skirt that barely covered her thighs as she sat crossed leg beside me. I had seen her somewhere but I couldn't quite recall.The one sitting on her other side was a blonde. Wearing a pastel blue dress. And my mind clicked as she turned to look at her friend. Natalie? That was her name, right? They were the ones sitting in the library."Seriously, what's the point of this speech?" Natalie crossed her

    “Forgive me, Father... for I have sinned.”The soft flesh under my fingers was delightfully squishy sinking as my thumb pressed deeper and the screams grew louder.Ah, the screams.They usually whined in pain, but as much as I enjoyed their cries... lately... my preferences had become more specific, more... exquisite.I ached to hear these desperate pleas from the lips I had been fantasizing about, not from the worthless man beneath me. My ears craved a different melody. Something more feminine. From a certain brunette.It had become a bad habit of mine.Fantasising about her.And she was the reason I was visiting this damn place after a long time people refer to it as the house of God, but I wasn't there to present my meagre truths, nurtured by the illusion that occasional good deeds would earn a place with the Creator.No, that would mean I was just like them.I was in this damned place, and for some reason, I found my fingers itching to slice certain man's throat just as voices whi

    "How are you feeling?" Someone said something. Words. They were real—and not imagination. Soft voice. Concerned even. And then something touched my face.I flinched moving away. It was dark. Darkness was gnawing on me. I wanted it to stop. I wanted everything to stop. More importantly, I wanted the trembles in my hands to stop. I felt like I was drowning. Something was holding me down. Killing me slowly. So slowly.I was scared. And nothing was helping. He'd come back, his eyes screamed he'd be back."Sera?" My only reply was a muffled sob as I dug my palm against my mouth. "Talk to me, please."The voices grew louder, gentle but persistent. There but drowned in the clatter of my terror.I couldn't focus. I couldn't breathe. I wanted to breathe.To rip through my chest and squeeze out my lungs with bare hands. My heart pounded in my ears.And when I thought, I was reaching the bottom of the dark ocean, strong hands grabbed my shoulders and pulled me towards them. I screamed, thrashin
