DYLAN The next phase of my bond with my mate begins here. The love that blossoms, the hardships we figure out how to navigate, the fire we choose to keep alive.
Only that's harder than I thought it would be because of the things that start to happen... to both of us.
Not just one lie is exposed, but endless stories are told, exposing truths we didn't know and truths we tried to hide from.
And the messages start to appear, and betrayal is thrown in. It's all happening under my nose, and I don't know who to trust anymore. Starting from the very beginning of all of this. Of the one thing - the one secret - that brought us together in the first place.
RAIDEN Secrets begin to emerge. Too many to count. Memories are lost, but some break through. Lies are uncovered. Monsters are unshadowed. And the traumas that Dylan and I chose to ignore in the past are finally becoming clear.
It all starts with opening wounds, coming clean and revealing things we never wanted to in order to keep our love alive and our bond intact.
Not all chains are physical
And the thing - or should I say the man - who controls mine could quite literally bring this Realm to its knees to get the one thing he wants more than anything else.
Me.
He's my biggest secret. And now... that secret is unleashed... for everyone to fear.
