triston was born to two parents who were so deeply in love. victor and emilia reyes . they met at the special needs education centre where they both worked . it was clear from the moment that they met that it'd be a romance for the ages . They had their first child, triston emilio reyes four years into their marriage . and they showered him with so much love and affection . And they brought their second and final child into the world five years after and their family was complete .
triston was brought up knowing so much love . he was always a happy kid , the class clown in school . his parents didn't have enough to give him everything beyond his wildest dreams , but they had enough to give him what he needed . his life was happy . until the year he turned ten . it had been a normal day , he'd been at school , messing around , having fun , getting into a bit of trouble . it wasn't until pick up that things took a turn . he and his sister were waiting for their mum to pick them up , they waited and waited until it got unreasonably late . the office took them in , tried calling their parents . it was an hour later when their dad finally picked up the call and came to pick them up . they got more and more worried when they didn't hear from their mum . they called around the hospitals until they finally got an answer . at the news they drove straight there , all three of them in a state of panic . but when they got there it was too late . emilia reyes had been involved in a car accident , a truck went into her and she didn't make it .
it was the first true pain triston had ever known in his life . it could've been enough to break his family if his father had let it . but he didn't , he made sure they got through it . endure and overcome , that was what his father had taught him . despite his own pain over losing his wife , he didn't let the family crumble . the kids still grew up with so much love , even if it was now just the three of them .
when it was time for triston to fly the nest and go off to start his adult life , his dad organised one last camping trip with the three of them . a tradition that hadn't died with their mother . it had been something they were all looking forward to . but they went off trail , they knew the woods well , they thought they'd be fine . that was until they got attacked . it was a guy with nothing who had gotten way in over his head trying to rob them , desperation made people do crazy things as triston would soon learn . he was woken up by his father's shouts , the guy had a gun and his father was fighting desperately for their lives . he didn't make it , but he bought them some time . triston was able to knock the gun out of the attackers hand , and it came down to a game of fists .
triston wasn't thinking of anything beyond saving his sister , the only person he had left . he didn't mean to kill the man , but it happened . his curse was triggered and his life changed forever . he was a lone wolf , who was now navigating through life alone , trying to keep his sister safe . he'd do whatever he had to do to protect his sister . she was all he had left in life .
