AARON

The drive back to Rathborn mansion goes by in a blur.

It’s almost impossible to believe that my sister is actually alive, and I don’t think I’m going to fully believe it until I see her with my own eyes.

The rage, meanwhile, threatens to consume me.

I want to go dig up the bones of Liam and the old Roberts Alpha and bring them back to life, just so I can kill them all over again.
