LOVE ON THE BRAIN

The Rise Of The Ugly Luna

Syra Tucker

Lyric had spent her life being hated. Bullied for her scarred face and hated by everyone-including her own mate-she was always told she was ugly. Her mate only kept her around to gain territory, and the moment he got what he wanted, he rejected her, leaving her broken and alone. Then, she met him. The first man to call her beautiful. The first man to show her what it felt like to be loved. It was only one night, but it changed everything. For Lyric, he was a saint, a savior. For him, she was the only woman that had ever made him cum in bed-a problem he had been battling for years. Lyric thought her life would finally be different, but like everyone else in her life, he lied. And when she found out who he really was, she realized he wasn't just dangerous-he was the kind of man you don't escape from. Lyric wanted to run. She wanted freedom. But she desired to navigate her way and take back her respect, to rise above the ashes. Eventually, she was forced into a dark world she didn't wish to get involved with.

In Brussels, there was a desolate town.

Rose was bound by chains to a chair in a dimly lit dungeon. There were countless welts and knife wounds that littered her body. Wren Terry had already used every punishment one could imagine on her. He subjected her to endless torment, though refusing to let her die.

Now, Wren looked at her and mocked, "I bet the famous Rose, or Ace Killer, would never imagine herself in a situation like this."

Then, Wren picked up the dagger from the table and, with a single strike, damaged the tendon in Rose's right hand.

"Ah!" Rose screamed, gasping for air as she spoke in broken sentences. "Why? Why... are you doing this?"

"It's because you're just a lowly person! A pawn of Rodger Group, no less! Seth is mine! This is what you get for trying to seduce my man!"

Wren fiercely stabbed the dagger into Rose's thigh and twisted it forcefully. In an instant, Rose's thigh became mangled.

"Let me tell you that Seth and I will be engaged soon. Your influence on the confidants in Rodger Group will be completely eradicated by me. You're just a nameless orphan that someone picked up off the streets. Nobody will remember who you are!" Wren said viciously.

"No way! Seth wouldn't allow this to happen!" Rose said, shaking her head.

Wren's subordinate threw a teenage boy into the dungeon. It was Mike Cook, who Rose had raised single-handedly. Wren fired a shot at the boy's leg, and Rose screamed, "No! No! Please spare him!"

"Kneel down! Kneel and beg me!" Wren demanded.

With a thud, Rose knelt on the ground and begged, "Ms. Terry, I'm sorry for being delusional. I'm not worthy of Mr. Rodgers! Please spare my younger brother!"

Wren chortled before moving on.

Right after that, a gunshot pierced through Mike's head.

"No! Wren! I want to kill you! I want to kill you so badly!" Rose cried out in despair.

"Hah! You want to kill me?" Wren sneered.

Another gunshot sounded. This time, it hit Rose's chest.

Rose slumped to the floor helplessly. Then, she heard Wren's voice from a distance. "You want to take revenge? Perhaps you can do so in your next life! Slash her face and throw her into the jungle to feed the wolves!"
