  Cain 
  I can’t let them take her from me again. She’s mine, and I will do whatever it takes to keep her safe, but with Marlo in the mix, that’s easier said than done. He wants to use her as a bargaining chip to win a war that I have no intention of letting her near. I don't care how long I have to wait or how far I have to go to protect her. Brielle DelaCourt will get to choose, and I will hand my life over to The Fates to ensure she gets her happily ever after. 
  Bri 
  Sometimes, I wish I could go back to when I knew nothing—about this world, this war, or myself—back to the girl who knew what she wanted and where she was headed. Everyone tells me I have choices and can decide my path. But I’m not a fool; they all want something from me, the Unawakened. I’m tired of feeling like I’m just a piece on someone else’s chessboard. As much as I crave my old life, I know it’s never coming back. I’ve been kidnapped, threatened, and treated like a pawn in a game I barely understand. All I know is it’s time I start controlling my destiny. 
  With war looming in the state, the LLC tries to balance the scales. How far will Marlo go to get what he wants? Will the Vegas Pack be able to shield Bri from her uncertain future? And, If she chooses to accept Cain as her Mate, will the Vegas Pack survive the fallout?

  George Robert Gissing was born on November 22nd, 1857 in Wakefield, Yorkshire.  
  He was educated at Back Lane School in Wakefield. Gissing loved school. He was enthusiastic with a thirst for learning and always diligent.  By the age of ten he was reading Dickens, a lifelong hero. 
  In 1872 Gissing won a scholarship to Owens College. Whilst there Gissing worked hard but remained solitary. Unfortunately, he had run short of funds and stole from his fellow students. He was arrested, prosecuted, found guilty, expelled and sentenced to a month's hard labour in 1876. 
  On release he decided to start over.  In September 1876 he travelled to the United States. Here he wrote short stories for the Chicago Tribune and other newspapers. On his return home he was ready for novels. 
  Gissing self-published his first novel but it failed to sell.  His second was acquired but never published. His writing career was static.  Something had to change.  And it did. 
  By 1884 The Unclassed was published.  Now everything he wrote was published. Both Isabel Clarendon and Demos appeared in 1886. He mined the lives of the working class as diligently as any capitalist. 
  In 1889 Gissing used the proceeds from the sale of The Nether World to go to Italy. This trip formed the basis for his 1890 work The Emancipated. 
  Gissing's works began to command higher payments. New Grub Street (1891) brought a fee of £250.  
  Short stories followed and in 1895, three novellas were published; Eve's Ransom, The Paying Guest and Sleeping Fires. Gissing was careful to keep up with the changing attitudes of his audience.  
  Unfortunately, he was also diagnosed as suffering from emphysema. The last years of his life were spent as a semi-invalid in France but he continued to write. 1899; The Crown of Life. Our Friend the Charlatan appeared in 1901, followed two years later by The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft. 
  George Robert Gissing died aged 46 on December 28th, 1903 after catching a chill on a winter walk.

  Henrietta ran on past the engines lit by bright headlights and into the darkness behind pipes and hoses. Somewhere behind her, a person entered through the engine room doorway, casting a long shadow along the floor. The person appeared to be walking cautiously along the machine, as if looking for something. Henrietta bent down and huddled behind a large pipe. It was greasy and hot in the cramped space, but she bit back and watched as someone dressed in dark came ever closer. There was still maybe twenty meters between them, but now there was nowhere to go.  
  The engines drowned out all sounds and the shaking of the ship did it´s best to make Henrietta feel really scared. Then she saw how a second, giant shadow, quickly approached from the door.
