Mirror,
mirror ... who's the fairest of them all?
I still cringe when I hear
that line. A fairy tale that had girls pretending they were the fairest, the
most beautiful, and the most entitled. A fairy tale most couldn't grow out of
turned my haunted childhood memories into a living nightmare. Girls who grew up
believing that pile of garbage became the meanest of all 'mean girls.'
And those
mean girls were right - it was a line meant for all the beautiful people in the
world - and I knew the answer would never be me.
The women
with long legs, flat stomachs, and perfect chests.
The type
of women Kane Masters gravitated toward.
Well,
that's definitely not Willow Tate.
No. That
will never be me.
Because
I'm completely imperfect.
And ... I
hate myself.
I have no idea what Kane could possibly see in someone
like me when he could have them.
Excerpt
“Are you
nervous right now?”
I nod.
“Tell me why.” His demand, steady and calm, gives me the courage I need to tell him. To open a vein and bleed my insecurities.
“I’m not perfect,” I whisper.
“And neither am I, Willow. I don’t want perfect. What so many see as perfect, to me, is fake. Perfect isn’t achievable naturally. No one, and I mean no one, is perfect.”
I’m shaking my head before he’s even done speaking, but one long finger comes up and presses against my lips before I can speak.
“No, let me finish. There isn’t beauty in perfection. It’s as fake as the image the word projects. Beauty is found in imperfection, Willow, because to admit you’re not perfect means you’re admitting you’re not whole and absolute. When I think of myself, I see someone willing to admit he’s as far from complete as it gets because, in order to get to that perfection, I need to find the other part of me who will make my life better. To take all the faults I have and fill them, and only then will I be there. You see, the way I see it, the only way to become perfect is to find that perfectly imperfect person who brings it out of you.”
When he
stops, I swear I might have stopped breathing.
How am I supposed to respond to that?
“Do you trust me?” he asks, his voice strong and sure.
“Yes, Kane. Nerves or not, I do.”
“Then let me show you what I see when I look at you.”
He brings his hands up, framing my face once again in a way I’m quickly becoming addicted to the feeling of. His warm eyes implore, begging me without words to let him continue. I do not intend to stop him, regardless of the butterflies currently taking over my system. I’m all in.
About the Author
Harper started using writing as a way to unwind when the
house went to sleep at night; and with a house full of crazy it was the perfect
way to just relax. It didn't take long before a head full of very demanding
alphas would stop at nothing to have their story told.
