Chapter Sixteen

Molly

I paced back and forth through the house, waiting for Ryan to return. Something in the way he spoke to Killian like he was desperate to convince him to understand that he wasn’t a good guy, only proved to me how much he still was. Bad guys didn’t feel pain or remorse like he did—it was clear in his expression, the fall of his shoulders. Ryan was a good guy who spent all this time struggling until eventually, he began to hate a part of himself for liking the things he did.

Ryan wasn’t a saint—a few days with him was enough to know that. He carried bloodlust in his eyes, he had no qualms in killing. He had no problem mixing pain with pleasure, but without even having to know or ask, I already knew he was a man that struggled with everything he became, and I was sinking—soon to drown completely in the depths of him.

He spent his whole life fighting for the last bit of good in him while I spent my whole existence running from that tricky goodness. I knew what it felt like to feel bad about something, Ryan was proof of that over the centuries, but unlike him, I did what I had to because all that ever mattered was what I wanted.

Until now.

Until I let myself fall in love with him.

I didn’t know the first thing about love but every part of me believed that this was me learning what it was.

My body liquefied for him and his touch so much that I fell apart and didn’t come back together for the longest time afterward.

Two things were in the way of what I wanted.

My own secrets… And Fear.

The things I left unsaid were harder to swallow now. I was more worried than ever about telling him who I was. No, I was terrified. No matter how I told him, I couldn’t see it ending the way I wanted. Who could overlook their killer? Not to mention all the things I’ve done to Melanie and the fact that I continued to keep it from him… The night I told him my name, I’d hoped there’d be some sort of recognition and it would all be over with that night. He hadn’t remembered the name of the ghost-girl that stayed by Fear’s side, I was forgettable that way… but I guaranteed the moment I told him who Molly was, he’d remember the dead girl that petted him like some sort of animal while he was shackled to Fear.

I sat down on the couch and pressed my fist against my chest. So much pressure was there and it hurt. Why did I do that to him? To make it easier to
