The first thing I felt when I woke up was silence. Not the peaceful kind, but the heavy, wrong kind that fills every corner of the room like smoke. My head was pounding, and my throat was dry. When I tried to move, my body felt stiff, like I had been asleep for a century.

The faint light from the monitors flickered across the walls. Alexander was still there, sitting beside me. His eyes were closed, head leaning against the cold wall, exhaustion written all over his face. I watched him for a second. The rise and fall of his chest was the only proof that something real still existed here.

Then I heard it again.

A soft whisper. Inside my head.

“You shouldn’t have left me.”

I froze. My heartbeat picked up so fast it hurt. I looked around, but the room was empty except for the two of us.

“No,” I whispered. “No, you’re gone.”

The voice chuckled. “Gone? I am you. Did you forget already?”

I covered my ears, but it didn’t help. The sound wasn’t coming from outside. It was inside me, crawling

  • Breed Me, My Boss Alpha   The Last Echo

    The sun finally broke through the clouds three days after the explosion. For the first time in months, light touched the city without flickering. The smoke had thinned, though the smell of ash still clung to the air. The towers were mostly gone, their glass skeletons hollow and silent. What was left of the streets had turned into makeshift shelters.Alexander and I stayed in the ruins of the research facility, the one place that somehow still stood. The electricity came back in short bursts—enough to keep a few lights glowing and the small generator humming. I hadn’t slept properly since the blast. Every time I closed my eyes, I heard it—the faint heartbeat under the ground, so distant I couldn’t tell if it was real or just memory.Alexander walked in, holding two mugs of instant coffee. He looked exhausted, his shirt torn at the shoulder, a thin bandage wrapped around his hand. “You should eat,” he said.“I’m not hungry.”He sighed and placed the mug beside me. “You haven’t been hung

  • Breed Me, My Boss Alpha   The Heartbeat Below

    The city was too quiet. The kind of silence that felt wrong, like the world was holding its breath and waiting for something to move again. The air smelled of burnt metal and rain. Smoke still curled from the ruins of the tower, and the streets were scattered with glass that shimmered faintly under the pale morning light.Alexander and I stood at the edge of what used to be the main square. My hands were scraped, my clothes torn, and every muscle in my body ached. I should have felt relief. The system was gone. The city was still standing. But instead, there was a sound deep beneath the silence.A pulse.It was faint at first, like a heartbeat trapped underground. Slow. Rhythmic. Alive.Alexander noticed it too. He looked down, eyes narrowing. “Do you hear that?”I nodded. “It’s coming from below.”He knelt and touched the cracked pavement. The pulse grew louder, syncing with the rhythm of his breathing. “It’s not mechanical,” he said. “It’s organic.”A chill ran through me. “You mean

  • Breed Me, My Boss Alpha   The White Room

    There was no sound when I opened my eyes. Only white. Endless, heavy, suffocating white. It wasn’t light or fog or cloud. It was like being trapped inside a blank memory, one that hadn’t been written yet.I tried to move, but my body didn’t respond right away. My legs felt heavy, my hands numb. The air smelled like metal and silence. I wasn’t sure if I was breathing.Then a voice broke through.“Luna Reyes, sequence confirmed.”The sound came from everywhere and nowhere. It wasn’t loud, but it echoed inside my mind, calm and cold like a machine pretending to be kind.I turned slowly, and that was when I saw the first crack in the white. It shimmered faintly, like glass about to break. Behind it, I could see flashes—memories flickering like television static. My mother’s face. The lab. Alexander shouting my name as the light swallowed me.“What is this place?” I whispered.“You are inside the Core,” the voice replied. “Where the system decides what to keep and what to erase.”I swallow

  • Breed Me, My Boss Alpha   Mirror Signal

    Rain poured harder as we ran through the narrow streets. It was cold, and every drop hit like tiny knives. The sky above was covered in black clouds that swallowed the moon. The city felt like a different world now, half-alive and half-haunted. Alexander led the way, his coat soaked, his hair sticking to his forehead. He didn’t speak, but I could tell from his eyes that he was scared.We reached an abandoned parking structure and hid under the upper level where the rain couldn’t reach. The sound of thunder rolled like a growl from the sky. My heart was still racing. I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was watching us.Alexander leaned against the wall, catching his breath. “We’ll stay here until morning,” he said. “Then we move north.”I nodded, but my mind wasn’t on the plan. The puddles on the ground were reflecting light from a flickering streetlamp, and when I looked down, I saw my reflection again. Only this time, it blinked before I did.I froze.The water rippled slight

  • Breed Me, My Boss Alpha   Inside The Core

    Everything went silent the moment I hit Accept. There was no sound, no air, no ground under my feet. It was like falling through water that wasn’t really water. My body felt weightless, but my thoughts were sharp, too sharp, like someone had turned the world into glass and dropped me in the middle of it.Then came the light. It wasn’t blinding at first, just soft, shifting colors like the inside of a prism. Then it turned violent, swallowing everything in waves of red and white until all I could see was code, millions of thin glowing lines pulsing around me like veins.For a second I thought I was dead. Then I heard my own heartbeat echoing through the void. Slow. Uneven. Real.“Where am I?” I whispered.“You’re home.”The voice came from everywhere, from nowhere. It was my voice again, the same tone, the same rhythm, but colder. When I turned, I saw her.She looked exactly like me. Same hair, same eyes, even the same small scar on my wrist from years ago. But there was something miss
