Rayna's back story

Derek helped pull me out of a black whole I was in when my husband died. He suffered a brain hemorrhage during a fight. He and Derek had been good friends. They started fighting around the same time.

So, when Derek told me about his charity for fighters that died, and their families I packed up and left to help him. When my husband died, he didn't know I was pregnant. I was going to tell him that night.

I have a two-year daughter Willow. She is the only thing that has kept me going all this time. Layla found me a nice two-bedroom house. She has become family to us. When she was taken it brought all the pain of losing my husband back.

I tried to help Derek, Skylar, And Oliver but I was hurting so much. Tia and Layla has been here for me, and now all of a sudden poof. I have been helping with Deacon so that would be one less worry.

Oliver's girlfriend Rose is pregnant, so I have been helping her. Oliver is taking everything so hard. There is so much love here. I am glad to be a part of it. When Layla and Tia was found Derek took in the guys that were involved in everything.

His friend Niko was the one that took the girls. I wanted to hate him, but I couldn't. He did it to save his brother and his son Noah. Willow has taken to Noah. She follows him around everywhere.

I on the other hand stay far away from Niko. He's a nice guy, but I will never be with anyone again. Niko makes me want to try again. Now Derek has him working with me.

He is always so nice to me, and our kids adore each other. Layla says I should give him a chance. I wish I could, but I'm scared. I don't want to ever forget my husband. I loved him for most of my life. I don't think I have it in me to love anyone else.
