Rescued. Avenged. Loved.

My name is Beauty – well, it wasn’t always Beauty. In another life, I was someone else, someone I can’t remember. But I don’t need to remember; life didn’t exist before him.

Hart.

We became . . . soul mates. If he was the match, then I was the flame. I’d stood in the shadows of his dark heart, and I wasn’t afraid.

For he set me free.

He showed me how to stand tall and brave.

He taught me how to avenge the wrongs committed against me.

He introduced me to my monster, then he showed me his.
