Life had always been about right and wrong. No gray area. No exceptions. But my time with the bastard sons of the Institution were slowly changing my mind–forcing me to see that sometimes the only options available to someone were bad and worse.

I was too afraid to look in the mirror... moreLife had always been about right and wrong. No gray area. No exceptions.

I was too afraid to look in the mirror. What if I do get back to them? Their father wanted them dead. Could I sacrifice the life I loved for them? Could I forsake my sister to stay? Yet a nagging feeling in the back of my mind said they were glad to be rid of me. I’d been a thorn in their side from day one. Why wouldn’t they be happy I was gone? But I was taken for a reason.

This dark, corrupt world threatens to drown me. While the Institution is fracturing, I am certain of only one thing—the brothers.They’re mine and I’m theirs. We’re going to survive no matter the cost. I won’t let it be any other way. I can’t… I’ve learned that it’s adapt or die, and I’m embracing it. For them. For me.Yet, just when we should be more united than ever, the brothers are breaking apart. Egos. Schemes. Drugs. Complications that threaten to poison us all... moreThis dark, corrupt world threatens to drown me.
