The Second Chance Citadel

The Citadel' s emergency comms system exploded with red alerts.

I was at my post, ready to defend, until I saw the man I loved, Matthew, my fiancé, leading his entire elite team off-campus for a supposed "training exercise."

It was a lie orchestrated by his obsession with Sabrina, the newest recruit they were celebrating in downtown.

In another life, I' d chased after them, only to witness Sabrina' s capture and execution, leading Matthew' s grief-fueled rage to turn on me, ultimately putting a bullet in my head.
