Dr. Chase pointed at an x-ray report as Tessa, Dr. Anya and a few other experts paid attention to his theory.“The fractures in the skull of this 25 years old woman runs longer than that of the 60 years old woman. This should mean the more fertile a female is, the more chronic the pathogen will be to the nervous system.”Dr. Anya narrowed her eyes on it, “Does this mean we have to reduce the dose of the drugs we give them? We were simply thinking about slowing down the spread of the disease in the system, we didn’t think about giving out different measurements in dosages.”He brought out another two X-ray files. “This is the report of the 25 years old woman before we came into the fortress, the dose administered indeed reduced the spread, but that of the 60 years old seemed to have quickened.”“These can also be noticed in their nerve and brain stem.”Tessa frowned, “Adverse effect. Thank you, Dr. Chase.” She turned to Anya. “How much miligram should be reduced from the current dose?”

Tessa stood inside a medical fortress that had been equipped with everything and anything that was needed to survive the incoming pathogen outbreak. It was a sealed, medically capable fortress with water, food, power redundancy, surgical capacity, and quarantine protocols. She smiled, feeling satisfied with this achievement. Before, she was left at the mercy of her so called husband and his family, now she had a better chance at survival. {Mission build a fortress accomplished – priority asset is still stable} Soon her phone started buzzing as repeated texts and calls came in at once. She checked the phone unhurriedly; news had gone wild about her building a vast fortress on the city’s edge. It was the first to be heard of in the whole of Chicago. No one knew what was inside and she kept it that way. She scrolled down and the next post she saw was Vanessa and Helen crying on the media about how heartless she was. “I simply wanted to be closer to my children, but Tess

Mark Whitmore sat on the head chair in the conference room, rubbing his forehead. The stress and pressure he was going through was evident on his face as he grinded his teeth against each other. His hands were trembling as he flipped through the pages of the document that was in front of him. The Whitmore group had taken a hit just hours ago and it turned into a crisis within seconds; stocks were falling and shares were being sold. This was definitely going to end the Whitmore group. “How… how did this happen?” his voice trembled. The supposed goods that had been delivered recently were poisoned and now their competitors were using it to their advantage, dragging their reputation through the mud. The members of the board were very displeased. “This is preposterous! I had warned about continuing the production of this new product but you were blinded by greed and went ahead with it. Is this the profit you were talking about?” “This won’t do! We better agree to the acq

Tessa’s eyes snapped open as she saw herself standing beside the dinning table of the Whitmore mansion. She stood lost as she quickly touched her body. She looked around carefully in confusion. “This is—“ A robotic voice sounded in her mind as a blue screen displayed in front of her. {Survival System activation – priority asset has been taken back to 7 weeks earlier: diagnostic overlay, limited spatial storage, infection-cluster mapping, neural-stabilization function locked until later} She blinked her eyes in confusion, “I was reborn?” “Tessa! Why are you standing there like a fool again? Hurry up and get my coffee.” Helena reprimanded as she eyed her. Tessa’s eyes brightened as she saw the apron on her body. It was the apron she wore every morning to serve the Whitmores their breakfast before going to work in the hospital. This was indeed seven weeks earlier; the same day Vanessa had come back with the kids claiming she had to move back in to ensure they were well ta

The next morning, Tessa hurried up and dressed up as quickly as she could. She was already late for her shift. Just as she rushed past the dinning room, Helena called out to her, “Tessa!” she shouted. “Mother, I’m really late for my shift, please let the maid make the coffee for you today.” she pleaded as she checked the time on her wrist. Helena’s face squeezed in irritation when Tessa addressed her as ‘Mother’ but she was focused on fanning herself to rebute her. The heat was terrible that she didn’t have the energy to exchange words with Tessa. “Whatever, just get out of my sight.” She waved her off. As Tessa made her way to the hospital, she saw a few people sitting by the road side; some had fans in their hands and were sweating profusely while others were itching their hairs like something was in it. She frowned, “What is going on?” she could not wrap her head around it till she got to the hospital. She had just entered the hospital when Dr. Anya rushed up to her

“Tessa, where are you hurrying off to? Don’t you think you should rest a bit before going back home? You just finished working double shifts and you look like you might pass out.” Dr. Anya complained when she saw Tessa changing out of her scrubs like she was being timed. When she had changed, she closed her eyes and massaged her temples for a few seconds; she was beyond exhausted, but she shook her head, “I have a lot to do.” She rushed out of the hospital and brushed through the grocery store to buy lobster. She had to make lobster bisque for Helena Whitmore’s high society gathering tonight and she was already a minute behind. Which meant she was late. As soon as she arrived at the Whitmore mansion, she went straight into the kitchen. “Where is that wife of yours? Doesn’t she know what today is?” Helena Whitmore, Tessa’s mother-in-law nagged in a low voice to Mark Whitmore as she maintained a smile while facing and nodding to the other socialites. Mark Whitmore, T

“What the father and son are up to, who are you referring to?” Alpha Ronnie queried as he turned his attention to Krisen. “On the sun the demon lair formed, I saw Suban run out of the cave. I don’t know what he did, but from the way he acted, I am sure he had something to do with the cave transforming after those rumblings.” Luna Carmen’s eyes widened, “What do you mean by hiding such a thing?” “Why didn’t you say something earlier?” Alpha Ronnie demanded as he glared at Krisen, resisting the urge to actually lose his temper. “You and Dimitri were there on that sun and you left your father blaming Dimitri for something she wasn’t responsible for, why didn’t either of you say anything?” She snapped. “There was nothing to say. You both were already angry after getting there, I was also just following her from behind to see what she was up to and by the time I got there, the rumblings had already started.” “I wasn’t sure if she was involved or not, she and Suban were close after all

Their heads snapped towards the door at the same time and the expression on their faces froze, silently wondering how much he had heard. Krisen walked into the room, his eyes moved between the two of them as he still waited for a response. “Are you going to say anything?” Luna Carmen was the first to speak. She comported herself and her expression showed disapproval, “Since when do you walk into our room without knocking?” “I knocked, but you both must have been buried in your conversation to hear it. What is wrong with me coming in? Is there something you are hiding from me?” He narrowed his eyes as his gaze monitored their expressions and movement in scrutiny. Alpha Ronnie stood up, “Even if you are out son and the moon born heir, there are still things we can talk about only between us mates. Krisen, why did you come? Have you put everything in place like I ordered?” Kisen didn’t look offended, he simply leaned against the wall and played leisurely with the candle that had b

THE PACK HOUSE The moon had already taken its place in the sky when Alpha Ronnie and Luna Carmen returned to their room. Luna Carmen seemed deep in her thoughts as her gaze remained stuck to a particular spot, the look on her face was serious as she absentmindedly fiddled with the bottom of her body covering. “David has been acting more and more daring these past suns, does he think I won’t do anything to him and his son? How audacious.” Alpha Ronnie spoke up as he cleaned himself up. He scoffed, expressing his suppressed anger. “I already sent warriors to search for that son of his, only the goddess knows what they are truly planning. With the demons already like this, we still have to fight within ourselves.” He continued speaking, but hearing no reply or movement, he turned his attention to where Luna Carmen had gone to sit when they came I earlier. His eyebrows came together, “Carmen?” he called out but she didn’t respond as her thoughts were too deep. “Carmen,” he called o

The Islanders were in shock when they saw Dimitri on her knees, they looked at each other in confusion. Moko frowned, “What are you doing? Wasting time and acting like this will not make me change my mind. I am taking you away from here before the moon rises.” Dimitri didn’t respond to Moko, she raised her head and her eyes travelled through the islanders in front of her. “You all have gone through a lot to look for me and I didn’t consider your sacrifices. Thank you.” “Heiress, it is our responsibility to make sure no harm comes to you. Although we weren’t sure we would find you, we still looked by our own decision, it has nothing to do with you.” “Yes, we came on our own, we were in distress when we noticed you had disappeared, we even thought you had died in the sea.” “Your mother cried every sun and moon after you disappeared, she hardly ate or slept insisting that we go out and find you or she would go herself. The whole island was as if dark clouds have covered it.”

Alpha Ronnie and Luna Carmen stood in front of the forest with most of their warriors behind them, David was also beside them, silently waiting for the right time to slip away and save his neck. “They don’t seem like they want trouble, I think we should find a time to speak with them, we can find a way to live side by side in peace.” David suggested. Alpha Ronnie glanced at him briefly, “Your suggestion is actually reasonable, David.” David laughed and nodded his head repeatedly, “Of course... certainly, we must find any means necessary to strive for peace.” “You should go and speak with them since this suggestion was made by you, you must have a very convincing way to achieve this purpose. If the goddess permits, they might even decide to leave our territory on their own.” He faced David, “Going with warriors will not be effective, they will not see our sincerity and would probably think we have come to spy on them. I suggest you go with Suban, that way, they will believe w

The screeching sound had already vanished like it never existed, but it left a feeling of distress and unsettling tinge in the atmosphere. Moko was aware of the story relating the demons, but he didn’t want to get involved with matters that didn’t affect him directly. He had already informed the islanders to prepare the tree beds for their departure from the woods. When Krisen noticed this, his blood boiled, he was about to shift and attack at least one or two of the islanders just to instil fear into the rest. One thing he hated was disrespect, and the fact that total strangers had invaded their territory and were planning to leave so casually was more than disrespectful. In the whole of the packs, even the elders had to ask permission before they entered their territory. Dimitri placed a hand over his chest, hoping to calm him down. “Krisen, don’t. I will talk to them, they will listen to me, trust me. You should go now and meet our father, I am sure he will be demanding
