Villains aren't bad people; they are just victims of circumstances. Granted, they are usually the ones to create that circumstance, but that is not the point.

Lucius was living the good life. Spending time with his mate as she pranced around in her sexy red hood. Mmmm, he couldn't wait to get a bite of that luscious little cupcake. Nothing was better than tasting her cream filling.

Then his mate betrayed him.

Next, a dead body turned up, and all fingers were pointing at Lucius for making it that way.

A shiny example of life sticking it to him once again. Waking up in jail, accused of killing his biggest rival, Lucius thought his day couldn't get much worse until help was offered from his most hated enemy. Before he knew it, he was accepting help from a witch, the last creature on the planet that he trusted. His whole situation just screams shady.

Second chances are a thing of Fairy Tales. Two things Lucius doesn't believe in, Second Chances and Happily Ever Afters. Now he is being offered both.

And all he has to do was avoid screwing up his second chance, and find a murderer all while convincing his mate to fall in love with him again and not keeping his date with the Woodman's ax.
