HELEN’S P.O.V.

Leaving a grave is harder than digging one.

The convoy idled in the muddy yard of the farmhouse. The engines of the trucks

rumbled, a stark mechanical contrast to the rustling of the giant corn leaves.

I stood on the porch one last time.

The Martha-tree had already taken hold. Its bark was gray and weathered, looking like it

had been standing there for a century rather than an hour. A single shotgun shell lay at

the base of the trunk a memorial to the woman who had taught the ear

  • Alpha’s regret : The return of his rejected mate   Chapter 104 : THE VIOLET AGE

    HELEN’S P.O.V.Peace is not quiet. Peace is the hum of a high-voltage fence.I stood on the balcony of the renovated Castle. The acid rain had stopped days ago,blocked by the Halo the hexagonal grid of violet energy that now spanned the sky aboveWashington D.C.The sun was rising, but it wasn't the warm, yellow sun I remembered. Filtered throughthe Architect’s shield, the light was cool, sterile, and purple. It made the city look like abruise."Director," Vance said, stepping onto the balcony. He wasn't wearing his tattered coatanymore. He wore a uniform made of woven star-metal fiber. "The perimeter is secure.The Rot has retreated to the treeline.""And the refugees?""Safe," Vance said. "Leo stabilized the foundations. The Architect... repaired the shelters."I looked down at the courtyard.It wasn't a garden anymore.The wild, chaotic jungle Maya had grown was gone. In its place were perfect, geometricpaths made of black obsidian. The ruined buildings hadn't been rebuilt; th

  • Alpha’s regret : The return of his rejected mate   Chapter 103 : THE WEEPING SKY

    LEO’S P.O.V.I was holding up a hospital.The structural supports of the George Washington University Hospital had beencompromised by the Rust blight. The steel rebar inside the concrete had turned to redpowder. The building, housing three hundred refugees, groaned and began to tilt.I stood in the sub-basement. I placed my golden shoulders under the main load-bearingbeam.Load: 12,000 tons.I adjusted my density. I locked my knees.I didn't strain. Muscles are for biology. I was geometry. I simply existed as an immovableobject beneath the falling mass."Stabilized," I broadcasted over the local frequency. "Evacuate the upper floors. You havetwenty minutes before the concrete shears around me.""Thank you, Leo," Vance’s voice came through, sounding exhausted. "But where do wemove them? The shelters are full. The tents are rotting.""Move them to the subway," I calculated. "The tunnels are shielded by bedrock. The Rotpenetration is only 15% there.""The subway is flooded," Vance

  • Alpha’s regret : The return of his rejected mate   Chapter 102 ;THE GOLDEN SILENCE

    LEO’S P.O.V.I didn't need to sleep anymore. Sleep is a biological reset function for organic neuralnetworks. I was no longer organic.I stood on the roof of the Smithsonian Castle at 0300 hours. My vision wasn't limited bydarkness. My eyes polished, gold-mirror surfaces processed the entire electromagneticspectrum. I saw the heat of the rats in the sewers. I saw the microwave backgroundradiation of the universe.I saw the structural integrity of the city.Washington D.C. was a mess. A chaotic, crumbling pile of stone held together by vinesand hope.Inefficient, my mind registered. Chaos invites decay.I looked down at my hand.It was perfect. The skin was a seamless, golden alloy. It didn't sweat. It didn't bleed. Itdidn't feel the humidity.Inside, the Star was still burning. But it was trapped. Compressed into a singularitywithin my chest. It was no longer a fire that warmed me; it was a battery that poweredthe machine.I scanned the courtyard below.The statue of the Beast

    HELEN’S P.O.V.The statue in the courtyard was melting.The massive, frozen form of the Beas encased in the cryogenic nitrogen delivered bythe Titan was dripping.Drip... drip... drip.Puddles of gray slush formed around its claws. The ice cracked."Ambient temperature is eighty degrees," Silas reported, scanning the monolith. "Thehumidity is 90%. Physics is winning, Helen. It will thaw.""How long?" I asked, checking the load on my rifle."An hour," Silas estimated. "Maybe two. And when it wakes up, it's going to be hungry."I looked at the elevator shaft in the basement ruins. The doors were gone, melted by theprevious battles. It was just a dark throat leading down to the bedrock."Leo," I whispered into the comms. "You have sixty minutes. If you aren't back by then...we're going to have to blow the Castle to bury this thing.""Copy," Leo’s voice came back, distorted by two miles of rock. "I'll be quick. I just need toask the prisoner why he's so afraid of the dark."THE HEAVY

    The infirmary in the Smithsonian Castle was usually the safest place in the city. Thickred sandstone walls, filtered air, and the smell of antiseptic.Today, it smelled like spoiled milk.Leo sat on a reinforced gurney. He wasn't wearing a shirt. His arms usually corded withmuscle and glowing with that faint, golden star-light were mottled.Where the Beast had bitten him, the flesh wasn't red or bleeding. It was gray. Aspreading, web-like pattern of necrosis was creeping up his biceps toward his shoulders.And from the center of the bite marks, tiny white spores were puffing into the air withevery beat of his heart."Don't breathe it," Silas warned, adjusting his respirator. He held a scanner over thewound."What is it?" I asked, standing behind the bio-shield. "Infection? Poison?""It's thermodynamic theft," Silas said, looking at the readings with wide eyes. "Usually, afever is the body generating heat to kill bacteria. But look at the thermal cam."He turned the screen toward

  • Alpha’s regret : The return of his rejected mate   Chapter 99: THE FIRST HUNGER

    HELEN’S P.O.V.We called it the "Green Peace."For six months, Washington D.C. had been a paradise. A dangerous, overgrown,mosquito-infested paradise, but a paradise nonetheless. The Green Children tended thevertical farms on the skyscrapers. The Peacekeepers now just "The Keepers" cleared therubble and built aqueducts.We thought we had won. We thought the Architect was the final boss.But nature hates a vacuum. And when you remove the Order... you make room for theAppetite.I stood on the balcony of the Castle, watching the Potomac River. The water was clear,filtered by millions of lily pads."He's back," Vance said, pointing his binoculars downriver.A wake cut through the lilies. Leo was returning from the West, riding his star-metal raft.But something was wrong.Usually, Leo glowed. Even in daylight, he had a faint, golden shimmer.Today, he looked gray.Not the Architect's gray. He looked... dusty. Ashy.He docked at the Jefferson Memorial (now the boat house). He didn't j

    HELEN’S P.O.V.A VTOL transport is not designed to be a greenhouse.We were flying at maximum velocity, the engines screaming as we pushed the airframeto Mach 1. Inside the cabin, however, the problem wasn't speed. It was growth.Leo sat strapped into the jump seat, his eyes squeezed shut, his han

    HELEN’S P.O.V.The morning sun didn't look right shining on a forest made of people.I stood on the ramparts of the Ironclaw Fortress, looking down into the courtyard. Whathad been a stone killing floor yesterday was now a dense, tangled thicket.But these weren't normal trees. Their bark was smoot
