@LifeByARose — Beast cast his eyes heavenward, letting the light of a pale moon wash over his iced sapphire eyes, pondering what is to be done when the spell had run its course and he was left a lone 'man' in his cursed Garden of Eden, and no companion save for his unwilling —
@LifeByARose — railing, taking to the roof just above the place wherein the cursed rose bloomed and wilted. With every passing day, their lives heaved and sighed with each petal that fell, crumbling into dust.
Seating himself on the utmost peak of the West Wing's spire, the —
@LifeByARose — charm of her voice. But oh, how dearly he longed to hear that voice tone speak his name in want.
Another snarl ravaged his lips, revealing the fangs that lie beneath them.
Looking to the moon, the Master set paw onto the balcony, and up onto its stone —
@LifeByARose — manner? So cruel as to remind him daily of a beauty he can never possess?
With his countenance snarling, he prowled the West Wing, seeking some form of respite from the torment that now haunted his formerly vacant halls. Wanting to distance himself from the —
@LifeByARose — it not enough that she mocked him with a curse that caused the world to forget he ever existed while in the same breath commanding him to find and learn of /love/ lest he be hideous forever? That she would go so far as to flaunt beauty at him in so ruthless a —

The loud snap of bone echoed in the waning twilight, and the succulent taste of marrow drizzled over his tongue. With a satisfied grunt, he angled his jaws so that one of his long canines —
