Valentino DeLuca

75 pages

I’m no good for her.

She’s lived a hard life. Turned into a savage, like me. Now, she needs someone sweet. Someone tender.

I am neither of those things, but Tácito is. He is warmth and cozy nights where I am sharp knives and open wounds.

I should let him have her, but I won’t. I can’t.

Since before I knew I was a DeLuca, I’ve looked out for and protected her. Kept my distance. Watched from afar. All while the darkness inside me screams for me to destroy her. Break her down until all she sees is me.

It’s what DeLucas do. Destroy as easily as we create.

But someone else thinks they can do what only I have been created for. When she arrives on my doorstep, bleeding and near death, she unleashes my long-caged savage.

Although Tácito can heal her wounds, she needs me, too. Needs my vengeance, my bloodlust, my ability to break through her walls and show her that savages like us belong together.
