Aithenβs having headaches that arenβt headaches. Howβs he supposed to tell Olivia the truth about whatβs happening to him? Haunted by memories he shouldnβt be remembering, memories of slaughtering of monsters. Heβll never be clean of the sins heβs committed. One monster. Himself.
The second Olivia knows who he really is, heβs sure sheβll recoil in disgust and hate him. To prevent that, he does the only thing he can. He removes himself form her life and leaves his heartβand hersβshattered.
Olivia has a secret. Well, maybe more than one. Right now, sheβs dealing with a beast thatβs escaped from the depths of hell and has her in its sights. All alone, with Aithen far removed from her life, sheβs simply trying to survive. Things donβt seem to be too dire. Until they do.
