[Helena Hawthorn 03] • Crumbling Control

After attending a funeral in Aberdeen, Helena meets with a very concerned Vincent - a member of the Vampire Council. He shares his worries about the dangers European vampires are facing. The hunters are gathering from all around, local packs of werewolves fight for territory, and Eliza is up to something that she says will 'save them all'.

Lucious is staying away from Helena. The hunters shot him full of tracking bullets and every time he stops, they catch up to him. To prevent those he cares about from being in danger, he ends up helping the man he never wished to see again.

Helena's feelings for Lucious begin to waver as she cannot get in contact with him. Andrew remains as a constant by her side and makes her laugh when everything else is going to hell.

Can Helena and Lucious overcome their new trials as the hunters come knocking, demons escape through the Demon Gate, and the Council begins to crumble?
