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.

In a snap, she had no place to return to. 

Defeated, she aspires to become stronger, and that happened when she came back five years later, already a top hacker.

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.

With those scarlet raging eyes, his teeth gnash. "Do you know the price of playing with me, woman?"

Hector had been bitten by Samuel. He aimed right for the jugular, tearing a devastating amount of flesh from the throat, and leaving a gaping hole. According to Dante, who was on his way to River Moon, Hector had welcomed the attack. Refused to defend himself. He didn't bother shifting into his lycan form; simply standing there, waiting for Samuel to tear into him. "I couldn't get there in time, Aly." Dante explains, stroking my hair. "Once I realised Samuel was gunning for Gomez, I pulled over. I thought Gomez would fight back..."

"It's not your fault." I croak, gently pushing his hand away from me. "This is on me." I resume my pacing, trapped in my office as I wait for news on Hector.

"Don't do that." Dante sighs. "What happened to Hector had nothing to do with you. This is on Samuel."
