BEAST
I’m the man who always wins.
My prize? Her.
She brings out the beast in me.
She thinks she can outrun us.
She can’t.
My men and I will do everything to catch her,
Break her,
Tame her.

DOVE
My father is determined to ruin us,
Selling me to pay his debts.
I’m not going to sit by,
So I take my siblings and run,
To escape this provincial life.
Too bad they like to chase.

Our passion leads to pain,
Pleasure leads to peril,
And the biggest one of all,
They’re going to make me BURN,
In body, mind, and heart.
