This was not part of my plan.Enrolling at Pacific Prep was supposed to gain me freedom and a feeling of control over my life. Buried truths are being revealed, and my goals are becoming less clear by the day.My entire life, I've wanted a family; wanted to know if I had one out there. I've craved answers and now that I'm getting them, I don't know if I'm ready.I have a brother, a family.Sadly, the knowledge of that isn't comforting, because I can't trust them.The same distrust extends to the guys that are invading every aspect of my life. Suddenly, they're everywhere, demanding the truth from my lips and tugging at a heart that's been cold for far too long.Will the truth set me free, or rip me apart?

I know better. I know better than to be complacent.Finding my family was supposed to be a dream come true, but it's only brought more questions, more secrets and forced family responsibilities. Surprisingly, Hawk is by my side while dealing with the utter ridiculousness our parents keep pushing on me. I'm learning how to have a brother and I think we might actually like each other?Mason, West, and Beck have been my saving grace, patient and kind. Still distant, Cam and I are trying to navigate a way to be around each other.But just when I start to feel like I have a life worth living with my guys and my new friends, my deepest fear comes back to haunt me.He knows. He knows the truth and where to find me.My walls are coming down and I'm learning to love, but my past may ruin it all.

He thinks they've broken me.He thinks I'm nothing but an empty shell, ready to be molded into their perfect soldier, his perfect wife, a damaged plaything.He might be right.I've never been so exhausted, beaten down, and wary. I'm so close to giving up, so close to accepting my defeat and twisted fate.The darkness is quickly closing in around me, but a sliver of light appears when I read the note from my brother and my guys.I will rise, like a phoenix from the ashes. I will be a catastrophic force, one this compound trained me to be.My guys are coming for me, and I almost feel bad for the carnage we're going to inflict.We'll burn it all down, right after I break free.
