Chapter: 50

Aria Delaney

We made it back to the safe house, our breaths coming in ragged gasps. The raid had been a success, but the cost was high. Dante had been injured, a bullet grazing his arm.

I tended to his wound, my hands shaking. "You're going to be okay," I said, trying to reassure both him and myself.

He winced but managed a smile. "It's just a scratch. We did it, Aria. We hit him where it hurts."

Nemesis sat nearby, his expression unreadable. "This is just the beginning. He'll come after us with everything he has."

I nodded, determination hardening within me. "Then we'll be ready. We'll fight, and we'll win. Together."

As the night wore on, we sat in silence, the weight of our actions settling over us. The ties that bound us had grown stronger, forged in the fire of our shared struggle.

And I knew, no matter what came next, we would face it together.
