Summary: He was a monster in human form. People feared him, and with good reason. She was strong-willed refusing to bend to his will- the only one who stood up against him. He loved her, but she loved another. He was funny, kind, gentle but could be cold and hard; he was every girls dream man. He fought for her while the other stayed in the background. He won her heart and he thought he lost her heart forever, but neither of them knew she had lied...

Pairings: Eric x OC x OC

AFTER Chapter 0


"So has he always been such a coldhearted bastard?" A blond haired girl ask, leaning into the man side.

The man's eyes followed where her finger was pointing, already having a good idea on who she was talking about. Eric. The oh-so-mighty leader known for his coldhearted nature.

The brown haired man side, his shoulder something slightly.

"No," he sighed again, having a faraway look as if he were remembering something from the past. "Well... He has always been a bastard, the coldhearted? Not always."

The girl next scrunched her eyebrows together and confusion, not expecting that answer from him.

"So... What happened?"

The loudness of the café surrounded them. No one paid much attention to the tension that was in the air.

The man was debating whether or not he should tell the girl about the past. The past was meant to be forgotten; no one knew that better than him. And the story is in his town; however, his affection for the girl that was leaning into his side looking up at him for an answer made him go against his better judgment.

"Love is a weakness to all whom fall for its trap. Some are lucky if they are able to bypass it, others are doomed to nothing but pain." He started, only to hear the girl laugh next to him.

"Love? Him? He loved a girl? So, he actually has a heart?" She snickered, trying, but feeling, to see him whispering sweet nothings into a girl's ear.

"Tris, do you want to know or not?" He scolded.

The blonde hair girl, Tris, nodded quickly and mitered a soft sorry and a please continue.

Nodding he did as he was told, "well Eric wasn't one of the lucky ones. He fell, but he fell alone." He whispered softly, as if he was in pain himself before he shook his head.

He quickly looked around searching for someone before finding them. He pointed across the cafeteria room to a man and a woman.

"Do you see that couple over there? The ones with blonde hair and black highlights in black hair with blonde highlights?"

Tris nodded.

"Their names are Star and Noah..."
