“We are not under the title Nephilim, because unlike us, they have blood of angels in them, good blood. We are called by the name "Collectors". We do the dirty work, we collect hells monsters and send them back by killing them. Some are weak demons, some are mythological creatures, you never know what will break out next.”
“But then we are the good guys after all, right?” I asked. Well, we didn’t let monsters eat people and damage stuff, that would make us as good as Nephilim, or whatever - made sense to me.
“The good guys… of hell.” Lucas said to himself. “No, we are not the good guys Chrystal" He turned to look me in the eye ".,and we never will be, we have evil already inside of us, it’s evil that gives us power, not love, not hope, not being “good”. We help Satan, we help him by not letting the monsters out, by not letting Nephilim have them. We’re the opposite of “good guys”, we're the opposite of everything good."
Every Girl wants a bad boy to be good only for her and that's exactly what Hadley got.

Hadley didn't think much of it when she couldn't make any friends in High School. She just brushed it off and lived her life without caring about it. Sure it would be nice to have a few friends but she guessed that she was just antisocial. Maybe there was more to it, maybe there was a cause to the underlying pain.
Levi has had his eyes set on Hadley since middle school, never talking to her, never even let her catch him staring at her. When high school came around he wanted Hadley, and he did anything to keep her from harms way without her even noticing. She's naive, she didn't see it coming when he claimed her as his.

"I don't like whats mine being touched! You should have know better.." He growled, I gasped at what he was saying." I worked too hard for some nobody to come take what I own away from me. I. Will. Not. Allow. It." Anger dripping from Levi's voice, nervousness raked through my body. His presence scares me and especially when a glint of mischief sparkled in his eyes.
I went to grab Jake's arm to pull him away, I was snatched away from his reach to be put behind his back. He cracked his knuckles," I'm guessing you didn't realize your place just yet." And right before my eyes his fist connected with Jake's face.
He turned toward me, my breath hitched in my throat."Your mine, your only mine. Do you understand Hadley?"
Before I could stop myself." No, I'm not? I don't even know you."
"But I know you." He leaned in and kissed my forehead.
