Angela. That is her name. He gave her that name.
But she is far from an angel. She was innocent once. She lived a simple, peaceful life. Even for a short time, she felt like she belonged somewhere.
But life is harsh, sometimes cruel. Her childhood, her life was taken from her at a very young age. Multiple times. But every time she felt like she lost everything, while she could not find the strength to pick up her pieces, life gave her another opportunity to start over. So she did. She built a new life. Multiple times.
Life destroyed her, and gave her rebirth. But each time, it took from her.
She had changed. He could not recognize her anymore. Although, he is determined to get his angel back. But in her eyes, he is just another obstacle.
So he became what he had feared the most, her predator.

Renee had known she had fucked up when she fired at one of those predators and hit him. She had proven herself worthy of the hunt. Now she has to face the consequences, not only her but her entire Town had to. Renee had to win this hunt; the fate of her Town depended on it.Complete
