Cruel. Savage. Heartless. A few of many words that are whispered behind palms as I pass. A long, long time ago I stopped caring what other people thought of me and started embracing their fear. Fear is power. Fear is motivation.
At least it is for everyone but the snarky little blonde that's been caught in my snare.
She's nothing but collateral. Nothing but a nuisance. I've broken more wills than this Tinkerbell wanna be could ever even count and she will be no exception. I'll either get what I want or she'll disappear like the rest.
There's no Pan in this story that can save her. She's only got me and unfortunately for her, there's no room for her in my obsidian heart.

Why is the abuse important?
James Hook is very much a villain—the rape shows readers just what kind of awful person he truly is and why he is feared by so many. When I say he is a villain with no redemption I truly mean it.
If you wish to skip the rape at the end of chapter 4 you can do so without hindering your reading experience.
Why does Bellamy have orgasms during the Dub/Non Consent?
Contrary to popular belief, most women become aroused and have orgasms during rape and sexual assault—It is our body's natural way of defending against the trauma being inflicted upon us. Most of the orgasms in this book weren't to try and "sugar coat" the abuse that was happening but to make other survivors who have experienced similar situations know they are not alone and that it is a normal response. You will read Bellamy reflecting about her "body betraying her" to also portray this message. It is both confusing & embarrassing to feel as if your body is betraying you but know that it is NORMAL. Please don't allow yourself to feel shame for something you can't control & know that you are NOT alone.
