The roar of ten black Range Rovers swallowed the highway, cutting off your escape. Rafe stepped out first, flanked by Ward Cameron and your father. The air was thick with regret and power.

And as you rested against him, something inside you quietly died, replaced by a bitter acceptance of your fate as a Cameron.
