A vengeance so deep, it threatened to consume everything in its path. I wasn’t just given a second chance to make things right with Sebastian.

With Thorne gone, the path ahead cleared for retribution and renewal.

Janica whispered to herself as she gazed at the screen, her fingers curling around her wine glass. But Farah's drive for revenge burned even hotter. Her need for vengeance was relentless, and she wouldn’t rest until she had done everything in her power to make Arwena and Tandre suffer for what they had taken from her. “Jake, I won’t stop until I’ve avenged you,” Farah silently vowed, her hands trembling as she stared at the images of Arwena with Tandre, the pain of the past threatening to overwhelm her. Meanwhile, in the Denovan mansion, Arwena and Archie were both in shock, their eyes glued to the large television screen, unable to tear themselves away from the chaos unfolding before them.

“I….I was there. I heard and felt him. He didn’t act as though he hated you. He acted obsessed.” “Hmm…. I don’t know about that, but I do know that I don’t want to hurt Rome either. I won’t reject him yet, and we can wait to figure out if revenge is worth it later.” “Rome wanted revenge,” she said brokenly. That may be the case, but after that goodbye, I don’t know if I can carry it through.

"May they fully appreciate what they created," Mona finished, crystal clinking against crystal as the screens continued to broadcast the unraveling of the dynasty that had once seemed untouchable. In their mansion fortress, surrounded by luxury and power, Mona and Alexander Kane watched the first act of their revenge play out in high definition. But

His eyes narrowed on the Second. Later, when the First slept with his head on the table, Mara drifted closer to the Second, her voice barely audible. “He’ll kill you if I don’t keep him calm. He’ll kill me too.” She let the faintest sob choke her throat, then added, softer still: “I don’t know how much longer I can pretend.” The Second’s eyes burned, not with pity but with a flicker of something deeper. “You’re not pretending,” he whispered back.

Looking at him,she nodded. That could only mean that the two were already making a move on her already. She needed to be careful and find out about their evil plan as soon as possible.

Being happy. Refusing to let the people who hurt you define you. That's the best revenge. Not hurting them back. Not making them pay.

Aren’t you concerned?” Seville was taken aback. Taking advantage of the moment, Rhett lunged forward with a killing strike aimed straight at Blake. “As long as I kill you, your original power will become mine. A Silver Wolf? I’ll have the strength of two Alphas–” To everyone's utter astonishment, Sarah scrambled to her feet and threw herself in front of Blake.
