Alexei's Blackest Star

ALEXEI'S DARKEST STAR BY LUXE LUCIFERHe thought he was collecting a pretty, broken bird—a flash of caramel skin and dark curls to add to his silent trophies. Alexei, the ghost of Moscow's underworld, brought his Afro-Latina cheerleader to a paradise of poison, planning to lace her veins with liquid silver and watch her fade.But the mercury didn't break her—it baptized her.What he claimed as prey was something far older, far hungrier. The poison didn't silence her; it awakened her. The tropical escape became a hunting ground, and the hunter became the offering.She took his mercury, his cruelty, his rage—and remade it into something divine.Now Alexei rots inside his own gilded cage, staring into the eyes of his Darkest Star: a goddess born of agony who feeds on his fear. She will drain his power, his empire, his soul—until nothing remains but a monument to his arrogance.He came to extinguish her light.Instead, he created a supernova.
