[Third person's POV]

While the two brothers are planning out how they're going to deal with the two enemies. On the other side of town, the enemies are also planning the ruins of the whole city.

At this time, they are carrying out Step 1 of the plan and that is the distraction of Cara being pregnant. As the two brothers are busy finding their whereabouts, they are on to Step 2 of the plan, they start with destroying one part of the city, slowly and gradually on to the next part of the city. But the two brothers haven't noticed anything strange yet nor have they got an alert.

Cara, on the other hand seems to feel uneasy, she could sense something is going on and goes to tell the two brothers but to no avail. She keeps getting blocked by the guards, guarding outside Lucero's office door.

She waits day and night but they won't come out. So she decides to barge into the room, and when she successfully does, she is met with thousands of men sitting on the long table.

Cara doesn't understand the severity of the situation and therefore is shocked when the place that was supposed to be Lucero's office turns into a meeting room thanks to the power of one of the men sitting there.

"What is going on?"

"Cara, we're in the middle of something." Lucero says.

She looks into his eyes and sees something similar to rage, she pans her eyes to the desk full of maps and pictures of the two men she's familiar with and says, "I want to help."

Cara did the abortion a couple of hours ago and Lucero couldn't bear for his mate to help him out in this, he doesn't want to tire her. "No, rest Cara." He says, more like command. She refuses and stands her ground.

"Let. Me. Help." Lucero's eyes light up when he sees the determination in her eyes.

"Fine, but if you're tired you rest, understand?"

Cara nods and gets into the room as the guard closes the two wooden doors.

Half of the city is gone and the men in the Reyes mansion are still planning. It takes one month for them to finish a detailed, strategically planned plan.

While Steven is hiding in his own abode underground, Paulo is partying in a club not far from the Reyes mansion, with girls on either side of his arms and alcoholic beverages in his palms. He forgets about the girl waiting for him back home, the naive little girl who really thinks he loves her. Dalia cries herself to sleep at night, when she realizes his love for her is not as big as her love for him and kills herself with pills.

Her mother, Maria couldn't believe what she heard when the doctor told her, her daughter is no longer alive. She soon joins her daughter in the gates of heaven or hell. Dalia's father as well couldn't bear the news of his only beloved family gone, and joined them.

When Cara receives the information she doesn't even shed a single tear. Because for her, they're not her family anymore.

No family abandons a member of the family like they did.

"They deserved it." Is the only sentence she says when being asked by Lucero as she walks away from him. Deep down it hurts her saying those sentences because they've been there with her since the incident with her parents but she couldn't help it.

Lucero doesn't push any further and let her know it still affects her somehow.

Cara fell asleep on the couch since they were very tired from all the planning. Lucero saw her and place his warm coat that smells like him over her tiny body. Cara cuddles further into the smell of his cologne on the coat.

He smiles without realizing it and lays next to her, squeezing tightly for he is a giant. They needed the rest.

They went day and night without much sleep, planning as much as they could, putting their skills and ability to work. Clawing their brains for any kinds of useful information and how to use their own powers in this.

Nobody took the news seriously a couple of months ago when an old woman came into The Reyes Mansion saying the whole city will die one month from now. Now they understand what the lady meant, but it's too late.

Now that their plans are ready, they can finally unleash the demons inside them.
