Christina Swan survived the first year of the supernatural, but the stakes are rising. An army gathers, forcing her to confront her complicated past with the Cullen family. Can she forgive and forget for her daughter's safety, or will this new threat finally break her resolve?

The scent of sizzling steak filled the Swan home, a comforting aroma that usually signaled a normal family dinner. Christina slid a plate of perfectly cooked meat next to the potatoes, a small smile playing on her lips as her younger sister, Bella, subtly rolled her eyes at their father, Charlie. Annabelle, Christina's daughter, sat patiently, her small hands resting on the table.

"Four o'clock on the dot," Charlie muttered, a familiar grumble in his voice. Bella sighed, taking her seat beside Annie.

Christina chuckled, cutting Annabelle's steak into bite-sized pieces. "What? Now he's too punctual for you?" She listened, half-amused, as Charlie began his familiar lecture to Bella about her recent troubles. The familiar rhythm of family life, yet underneath, a subtle tension lingered, a premonition of the hidden world that was about to resurface.
