The Making of a King by N.M. Catalano

Every story has a beginning.
This is theirs.

Evie:
You should always be prepared for things to get worse.
That’s what he’d told me.
I didn’t listen.
I should have known how things were going to turn out.
From the first moment I looked into Lucas King’s angry baby blues, filled with torment and vengeance, and aimed straight for me.

Lucas:
Her first mistake was she was at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Her second mistake was she didn’t listen.
I’d warned her. I’d told her I was going to take everything from her.
I did. Things she could only give once.
All of it was mine.
She belonged to me the instant I saw her.
She was a good girl.
Too bad I was going to ruin her.

This isn’t a fairy tale. It’s a story about a boy who made himself king, and his obsession.
