As my blade pierces the base of his neck, the silver sizzles against his skin. His cold blue eyes open wide. The grim reality of his situation sets in. He gulps hard and shakes his head in fear. "I repent." He squeaks like the coward he is. "Forgive my crimes. Let me face the Council." "You'll find no mercy here, Sin." Blood gushes down his bare chest freely. "You will be judged by the Goddess." His expression quickly changes to one of anger, exposing his ruse. "I see you in the Palace of the Goddess, I will kill you again." I growl. "And if she casts me out, I will meet you on the edge of the River Styx and kill you in Purgatory over and over until the Ferryman come to collect us. And if Hades allows, I will continue to kill you in the Underworld until the end of time." "I underestimated you." He chokes. "Everyone does." I whisper as I lay my full weight against the pommel.

A Time for Strength Chapter 165
Milo’s POV“Bronx!” I stand up and block him from throwing a water pitcher at an analyst who yawned during our afternoon debrief.“If she’s not going to take this seriously, she can get the fuck out!” He rages.“Alpha, stop! She’s worked sixteen hour shifts for the past three days and she came in at five a.m. for a conference call with our contact in Istanbul today!” I hold my arms out, giving the staff a chance to escape out the door. “You need to stand down!”“I’ll calm down when we find Kas, Milo!” He punches the wall, leaving a giant hole. The last few people behind me gasp and scurry out of the room.“Bronx, we’re all working as hard as we can to find her.” Reggie steps up beside me. “You can’t keep losing your shit with the people trying to help. It’s only slowing us down!”“Bro, we’re not going to get another chance to speak to the Brisbane office until they get access to run another traffic camera scan.” I try to talk sense into him. “Going ballistic on our search team isn’t g

James sits on the rope to lower it enough for Kas to climb in. She nods at what her guards are telling her, and sways side to side with her hands on her hips. She cracks her knuckles and moves to the center of the ring, swinging her arms in a last-minute stretch as she waits for Bronx.The fighter in the ring isn’t the Kas we know and love. There’s not even a suggestion of her usual smile and excitement. There’s just cold, galvanized, unforgiving, yet contained anger.The lead trainer recites the rules as Bronx takes off his eyepatch and hands it to Reggie. He steps to the center of the ring, but he doesn’t look like he realizes how dead serious Kas is about this scrimmage.The trainer blows his whistle, and Kas takes a defensive stance. She is already petite. The posture makes her look comically small compared to Bronx’s tall, unbothered position.Unlike Musu and my fight, everyone is dead silent except for Marco and James who are calling out coded instructions to Kas. No one else da

“Did you talk to Bronx?” I ask while looking in the vanity mirror.“Lenora!” Justice yelps out of nowhere, scaring the shit out of me.I grab my chest to calm my heart. “Justice, Codi is fine. She’s sound asleep in her crib. Anne is going to stay with her.”“It’s not that. Well, it is, but… something’s happening. I can sense it.”I try to calm myself as I weave my fingers through my hair. “We’ve spoken to Doctor Berra about this. If there’s something wrong, we need to talk it out, not freak out. So, what do you sense? I’ll try to help.”“If I knew I would tell you, child. It feels like-” She gets ready to go into a rant, but gets interrupted.“Yeah, I spoke to him when we were lifting yesterday.” Milo replies from the bedroom. “He hasn’t talked to Kas about your goddess stuff yet. He doesn’t know how to break it to her, so he’s been avoiding her, I guess. It sounded like it was really stressing him out.”“And she thinks he’s fucking around on her.” I mutter under my breath while smoot

Lenora’s POV“You see?” Musu puts her hands on her knees and pants. “A few hard workouts every week are all you need. No?”I lower myself to the floor with a groan and roll onto my back. “I don’t know about that, but I’m definitely too tired to worry anymore. I guess now that my back doesn’t hurt, I have to make up for lost time.”It’s been over a month since I tried to explain to Milo why Randall criticizing me was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Between Justice trying to stop me and Ghost… Well, I don’t know if Ghost was trying to protect our secret from Milo or if he truly doesn’t understand the gravity of the continuation of my life, but I failed miserably at trying to explain. Justice has even resorted to ignoring me unless she absolutely has to engage with me.When I got back from checking on Musu, Milo began to treat me differently. It’s like he was actually noticing me for the first time in a long time. He has been extra sweet and thoughtful. More than usual, I mean. He

Milo’s POV“I expect better from you, Bronx.” I let Ghost snarl at him. “Fuck off.” He murmurs with glazed eyes from the gurney.I don’t care that we had to drag him down to the hospital wing to be sedated. He’s gonna get an earful from me. He hasn’t been taking care of himself. He’s gotten angry with MasonCo employees for no reason and handing down unnecessary write ups to directors for various departments in the pack. The past few weeks, he has been more and more irritable. I know for a fact he’s been making excuses and dodging his therapy appointments. I bet he hasn’t been taking his medications either.He even left Codi’s birthday party early when his mom mentioned she was looking forward to Bronx and Kas giving Codi cousins to be best friends with. Kas laughed it off about it not being the right time for them to start a family because Bronx is so busy he couldn’t even stay for the entire party, but you could see how much it upset her that he walked out. I’ve also seen him brush

“As you know, the Goddess Project is funded with Council historical research funds and a MasonCo private client project. From a business aspect, what we have found so far, we consider a success. From a personal aspect, I cannot begin to express my disappointment in what we have found.” Bronx lowers his chin and looks around the room.“Disappointment?” Elder Karthik picks up his folder. “What do you mean?”“When you see the footage, you’ll understand.” I make eye contact with as many Elders that will look at me. I make a mental note that the ones who won’t make eye contact also happen to be on one of Randall’s ledgers.“We’ve included dossiers on the women we have confirmed in your folders. The details that we cannot confirm are from new individuals or the women we have found already are on a separate punch list. We are working on either matching them up to one of our suspects or identifying a new one.” Bronx looks around the room at the Council and motions to Elder Henri. “My Betas an
