Irredeemable

Love isn't supposed to taste like betrayal. And they aren't supposed to like the way it hurts. But they'll risk everything for an obsession that might destroy them both.  CodaI was innocent once.Until I watched my parents die by the hands of a man they trusted.The streets swallowed me, and no one noticed.I swore then that he'd paid.I've spent the last twenty-five years covered in blood, biding my time.I'm the thing monsters fear. I'm the last thing they see.Until now. Until her.I came for her father. I left with her.I wasn't supposed to feel. I wasn't supposed to fall.But now, I'll claim. And I'll kill.She's mine. No one is taking her from me. KarinaI was drowning once.Until he held out his hand and pulled me into the dark.I swore then that I'd follow him anywhere.But I didn't know I was following him to hell.He has secrets. And sins.And somehow, I'm caught in the middle, a pawn in a game I don't understand.But still, I feel. Still, I fall.And when the truth comes out, I break.Love isn't supposed to taste like betrayal.And I'm not supposed to miss the way it hurts.And yet…I want it back. Even if it destroys everything.
