For Bella, meeting him was an unexpected revelation. She didn’t suspect that a man could awaken in her a fear mixed with a desperate desire to be near him— to listen to his voice, to look into his eyes. And neither his scars nor the dark, deathlike tattoos frightened her. For Seth, she became a revelation—someone who turned his life upside down again. He was suffocating beside that angelic, pure girl; drowning in her eyes, unable to satisfy his desire. But he also couldn’t let go of the past that poisoned his soul—if he even had a soul… They reached for each other. She was like a moth to a flame. He was like a Beast that wanted to devour his Bella.
