Astra's eyes widened slightly, a mix of fear and fascination sparkling within them.
She leaned back slowly, as if preparing for the inevitable strike, her voice barely above whisper. "Yet... I'm still breathing. And you're still sitting beside me."
She'd always romanced death. Perhaps, that's why she was still alive. Some said she was too lucky. Others said she had the moon goddess's special grace. But whatever it was, she believed that her time to die wasn't here yet.
She still needed to kill her mate and everyone in her pack who called her names and shamed her for something she couldn't control.
His gaze intensified, his piercing blue eyes burning with something untold. "Most try to flee or kill me after witnessing... my excesses. You seem to be considering inviting me to stay… in your life, Astra."
Astra's heart raced faster. She felt drawn to the darkness emanating from him. She knew he was a walking red sea, not just a red flag, yet, she liked this monster.
