Who was the villain here? Who was the one who brought war today? I had always thought that Shane was the one who brought war to Desert Moon, to my family, to my friends, to me but… I had been wrong all along. Shane wasn’t the one who brought war.
I had been the one who brought war to Half Moon, to the only home I knew before Desert Moon. I had been the one who brought the killing and death to my family. It was my fault. As I looked around, my jaw dropped as realization set in. I did this.
I’d always blamed Shane for everything that went wrong. I blamed him for everything that had happened in the last life. Gabe’s death, and Olivia’s death, I hated him for killing Ethan. In this life, I hated him for wanting me, chasing me, I hated him for threatening my family, I blamed him for the death that was coming, that I feared. Those nightmares that plagued my sleep every night, the dreams hadn’t been trying to warn me about Shane.
