The Beast had Belle. Killian Black has me. How I got here doesn’t matter, even though he says it does. Says it was my choice. He doesn’t get it, though. It wasn’t ever a choice for me....

What happened on that island didn’t break me. It twisted me. Corrupted me. Made me into a monster. Although, I guess, it’s true what she says. You can’t become something that wasn’t inside you all along....

It all started with a contract signed by him, then by me, while our families watched. While my father sat silent, a man defeated, giving his daughter to the Benedetti monsters....

We're a match made in hell, Stefan and I. He took me to exact his revenge. I went from being a pawn to my father to being a pawn to Stefan. The only difference is I have a ring the size of a boulder on my finger and a husband I don't want....

I was the boy who would never be king. The monster who could never be loved. Gia was just a job. Just another girl caught in a world of monsters....

She calls it a devil’s bargain. I call it a deal she can’t refuse. I was owed a debt and I expected payment. That payment? One night in my bed. My rules. The debt cleared, and she could walk away. There are worse things....

Taking her is my right. Breaking her, my duty. I was always going to choose Helena. I knew it the instant I saw her. She’s different than the others. There’s a darkness about her. Something wild inside her. And it calls to the beast inside me. But she isn’t what I expected....

I'm one of four Willow daughters. For generations, the Scafoni family have demanded a sacrifice of us. A virgin daughter to atone for sins so old we don't even remember what they are. The moment I saw him, I knew he would choose me. Even though the mark on my sheath declared me unclean....

Two years ago, I made a deal with the devil. That night, I lost everything. That night, I thought he died....
