Everything started five years ago. 

Elise Collins was framed, left everything behind, and ran away, never wanting to even take a glance at it again. However, news of her being pregnant spreads like a wildfire in the city, and her thought that someone will be able to help her, crumbles as everyone avoids her like she’s a curse.

As soon as Axel Carter knows it, the father of the child she gave birth to, he instantly chases her. Trapped in the hospital, he confronts her.

"Dante...I lo--" My defeated tone is cut off, a familiar snarl ripping through the area.

Lifting my head weakly, I spot an ice-white blur, emerging rapidly towards me. Blinking frantically, I lock eyes with a pair of familiar, green irises.

"Lightning?" I whisper in disbelief. I must be hallucinating. The last time I saw the lynx, he was unconscious and hooked to a ventilator.
