Loving the Cursed Siren

I fell for a dying human… while hiding that I'm the cursed siren that's slowly killing him.I should never have gone near him. A mortal's love is the one thing forbidden to me.  But Elias makes resisting impossible with those bruised songs and eyes that look straight through my lies.I tell myself I'm only staying to keep him safe. But then I end up in his home, wrapped in his music, letting him sketch pieces of me he shouldn't see.He writes melodies that feel like memories I shouldn't have. He watches me like I'm worth saving. And when he kisses me—gods help me—I want to be saved.Somewhere between his collapsing breaths and my unraveling curse, I fall for him. Hard enough to forget every warning written in blood and seawater.But now the truth is rising like a tide I can't outrun. If he learns what I am, he dies—And if he loves me first? His heart might stop anyway.
