The Rose and The Riddle.
Everyone at Hogwarts knows the story of Riddle Manor. A cursed house hidden beyond the Forbidden Forest. A black rose that never stops losing its petals. And the monster who lives inside. Y/N never believed the stories—until her father disappears after venturing into the forest. Determined to find him, she crosses the gates of Riddle Manor and comes face-to-face with Mattheo Riddle, a boy who was supposed to be nothing more than a forgotten name in Hogwarts history. But Mattheo isn’t dead. He’s cursed. Bound to the manor by ancient magic, Mattheo is slowly losing himself to the darkness inside him. Every petal that falls from the enchanted rose brings him closer to becoming the monster everyone believes him to be. Y/N is told to leave. She refuses. Because beneath the anger, the cruelty, and the darkness, she sees something nobody else ever bothered to look for. A boy who is terrified of becoming a monster. And a heart that may still be worth saving. But when the final petal falls, Y/N will have to decide whether she loves the Beast… or the boy trapped inside him.
