Se connecterMa'am please help your son, that's what's running through my mind in this chapter. The pain of the broken bond, the weight of his past, and the loss of Aria have all caught up to Kai at once. The semi finals starts tomorrow and it only gets worse from here. Stay tuned.

But I couldn’t.Not because I didn’t trust Lila.But because it wouldn’t even last.There was Alpha Elias. The plan. The files. The secrets I had stolen and the secrets I was still going to steal. The way, loving Kai and using him were now starting to blur together until I couldn’t tell which one wa
Aria.By the time Maya and I made it through the gates, my ears were already ringing.The stadium was massive.
