"We agreed to keep it quiet. Nothing happened, no retaliation, nothing until recently. Ren was visited by Xander, seems like Alice was wrong, Xander very much wanted to protect Alec that night."
“What the fuck Liya, we are supposed to be a fucking family. Shouldn’t we have gotten a say too? We could all be dead by now.” Gabriel yells as I look to the carpeted floor. Yes, they should have had a say. But at the time, it seemed best to keep it between Ren and me.

And Alice, fucking Christ, Aliyana. If she knows Elisa is your father’s daughter, we are fucked. She’ll know we are up to something. Point be damned if Elisa is a fucking devil in disguise or not,” Michel barks as he bangs his hand on the wall, making me jump.
