***

I wake up disorientated, with my head pounding. I touch the sensitive spot on my temple. My hands are extended and handcuffed to a water pipe. I take a moment to glance around the room that is now my prison. Slowly, everything comes back to me. How will Sam find me now? I gasp when I hear the door above me squeak open. I close my eyes while I listen to the heavy footsteps descending the stairs. "Please hurry, Sam," I whisper to myself in despair.All Rights Reserved

His best friend, officer Chris Wells is dead and George finds himself with the body and no memory of how. Only a tape recorder and a locker key for a clue. It's a dangerous game, from a lifetime of planning, rigged to make George look guilty and force him to remember what he really is and what he went through as a child. A pure born werewolf. Kidnapped from his real family to be experimented on. George gets dangled on strings by the killer puppet master and taken on a haunting journey never to be forgotten again. Made to relive the past trauma of a tragic fire that took the lives of the family that tortured him. Bodies continue to fall, all framed to fit the murderous narrative of an elaborate plot for revenge. When he finally remembers, when he's finally broken, another unique side to George wakes. So does a dark new world from the shadows. George learns the painful truth, and none of it is good. Nobody saw the real killer coming or expected that it could be someone they trusted.

I walked to my door and took my key card from my bag, I felt his stare on my back. I turned around and caught him staring at me. "What?" I asked annoyed. "What?" he replied back innocently. "Honestly Nico, why are you back?" I glared. He started walking towards me and as a reflex I walked backwards until my back hit the door. He stopped when there was only inches gap left between us and bent his head down to my level. My breathing hitched. He moved towards my ear and spoke in a deep husky voice. "To get you back Bella".
