​Outside, the heavy steel shutters along the high battlements slid open overhead with a deafening, mechanical roar. Before Wesley or his two Awakened brutes could even register where we had vanished to, the automated turrets locked on.

​Heavy, fifty-caliber rounds chewed through the concrete road directly in front of the Syndicate trucks, sending chunks of asphalt flying into the air like shrapnel and blowing out their front tires in a spray of rubber and sparks.

​Wesley stumbled backward in th

  • Apocalypse Rebirth: Under The Mad Dog's Protection   Distractions

    The refugees gasped, throwing their hands into the air in pure panic."Please! We didn't do anything!" the bearded man shrieked.I clutched Lucien's vest, my breathing ragged, my chest heaving as I forced my dim, unfocused eyes to open. Blood was dripping down my chin, staining his dark uniform, but my mind was racing through the blinding pain.The alarm. The coughing. The fainting.Those weren't random complications happening in the compound three days from now.They were distractions.The blank spot in Person Fourteen’s future meant his actions were directly tied to a major timeline event that my foresight couldn't fully render yet—because his sole purpose for being here was to trigger an orchestrated sabotage from the inside.I leaned my head against Lucien's jaw, my voice raspy, broken, but dripping with absolute, unwavering certainty as I pointed a trembling, blood-stained finger toward the fourteenth man at the end of the table."He doesn't get a room," I rasped, my cold gaze lo

  • Apocalypse Rebirth: Under The Mad Dog's Protection   A Suspicious Future

    The familiar, cold sensation flooded my brain as time unfolded before my eyes like translucent, overlapping sheets of film.Person One: A middle-aged accountant. In three days, he would be working quietly in the hydroponics bay, scrubbing storage bins. Clean.Person Two: A quiet, traumatized woman. In three days, she would be sitting in the mess hall, weeping quietly over a hot bowl of soup. Clean.Person Three: A young teenager. In three days, he’d be trying to steal an extra ration card from the kitchen. Petty thief, but not a traitor. Clean.Person Four: A former mechanic. Three days out, he was helping Theo repair an exhaust valve in Sector 3. Clean.A sharp, throbbing pressure began to build right behind my temples. My foresight wasn't meant to be used like a rapid-fire scanner on fourteen different life-paths in a single sitting, especially not after I had already used it twice during the Syndicate ambush earlier today.I bit the inside of my lip, pushing past the dull ache, and

  • Apocalypse Rebirth: Under The Mad Dog's Protection   Reverse Was The Case

    ​Outside, the heavy steel shutters along the high battlements slid open overhead with a deafening, mechanical roar. Before Wesley or his two Awakened brutes could even register where we had vanished to, the automated turrets locked on.​Heavy, fifty-caliber rounds chewed through the concrete road directly in front of the Syndicate trucks, sending chunks of asphalt flying into the air like shrapnel and blowing out their front tires in a spray of rubber and sparks.​Wesley stumbled backward in the dense smoke, his face draining of all color as the loud rumble of the heavy artillery shook the ground beneath his boots.​"What the fuck?!" he screamed, scrambling blindly toward the passenger door of his lead rig. "Fire back! Tear those fucking gates down! And grab the girl!"​"She's already gone, you idiot!" the Metal user roared, thrusting his arms forward through the clearing smoke. His metallic skin gleamed as he attempted to reach out toward our outer gate, intending to peel the steel s

    Before he could process the shift in my tone, I immediately threw myself backward, stumbling into Theo's arms with a wide-eyed, terrified gasp. "No! Please! Think about this, Wesley! There are children inside! Families! You're trampling on innocent people for your own greed!"​"Innocent?" Wesley snorted, stepping closer, his boots crunching loudly over the shattered debris on the asphalt. He soaked in my panic like a fine wine, his chest swelling with pure, unadulterated arrogance. "In the post-apocalyptic world, sweetheart, innocence is just a synonym for weak. And weak people don't get to hoard pristine fortresses."​"We fought for hours!" I wailed, my voice cracking dramatically as I clutched Theo’s arm, feeling him suppress a chuckle beside me. I was being way too dramatic, I knew. "We used every last crate of heavy ordnance! Our elementals are completely drained—they can barely stand; Theo's mana is gone! If you take our supplies, we’ll starve! We'll die!"​"That's the point, dar

  • Apocalypse Rebirth: Under The Mad Dog's Protection   Baiting the Leaches

    I organized a few of our best, preparing to fool their eyes and prepare a countermeasure fast. I picked five of the newly awakened— Theo, two Earth wielders, and two Fire users—along with Pedro and a squad of six sharp-shooting marines. The plan was simple: put on a show. We’d look bruised, battered, and limping, drawing them right into the primary kill zone outside the turnpike gate before slamming the hammer down.​And of course, Daniel and Lucien weren't part of this team.​They almost had my head because of it.​"Are you out of your fucking mind, Amber?" Lucien growled, his hand clamping down on my shoulder like an iron clamp, spinning me around to face him on the observation deck. His eyes were burning with a dark, terrifying rage. "You think I'm sitting back in the command hub while you walk out past the main gate to play bait for a syndicate convoy?"​"Boss is right, Feisty," Daniel drawled, though there was zero humor in his voice. He stepped into my space, his eyes narrow

  • Apocalypse Rebirth: Under The Mad Dog's Protection   Foolish Leaches

    Lily came sprinting down the catwalk, her small boots clattering frantically against the steel grating.Before I could even step down from the raised platform, she threw her arms tightly around my waist, burying her face into my hip as her shoulders shook with violent sob after sob."I was so scared!" she cried out, her small voice muffled against my tactical jacket.I froze for a second, my hands hovering in the air as I looked down at her, genuinely taken aback. In the heat of the fight, with guns blazing and lightning splitting the sky, I had forgotten for a moment that under all that raw, devastating mana, she was still just a child. This was her very first real battle.A soft, rare warmth flickered in my chest. I slowly brought my hand down, gently stroking her soft hair to soothe her trembling frame."You did great, kiddo," I murmured softly, my tone gentler than it had been all night. "Your lightning saved a lot of people today.""B-but you almost fell!" Lily hiccuped, sniffing
