All Stella had wanted was to give her friend the ability to protect herself–but now things had spiraled out of control.

As Abraham gently applied a bandage to her finger, he asked, “You really think Dan would kill her right now?”

His voice was calm, steady—as if he’d already seen the entire board.

Stella blinked in confusion.

But this… this feeling of fear and helplessness–only Abraham could shake her like this.

When she didn’t respond, he pinched her nose affectionately.

“Diana only returned to Ashen Pact because Dan’s people kidnapped her.”

Yes–kidnapped.

If it were up to Diana, she never would’ve gone back. She’d made it clear she wanted nothing more to do with Ashen Pact.

But Dan had shattered that peace.

“He brought her back to get rid of Dale and Manny–using her hands.”

Dale loved Diana too much. Loved her enough to want everything he had to go to her child.
