Beauty and the Alpha Beast
I can’t let him find me.
I rush outside to the cellar and descend the steps. I’ve been waiting for a sign, some shift in the wind that would tell me it’s time to act, and now the air feels charged, heavy with consequence.
I’m going to have to destroy my beautiful mask. I don’t want to. I want to hold onto it forever. Luminous and radiant, it made me feel like I truly belonged at the ball, someone worthy of desire, even if just for a single night. I cherished it, but if he finds it, if anyone does, it will be enough to condemn me. That mask wasn’t made of silk and thread. It was spun from magic, summoned by witches.
