For Cassie, the world didn't explode with a bang, it exploded with a pressure that forced the air out of her lungs and a light so bright her vision blurred into black.

She felt herself being lifted off the ground by Aser. His arms were bands of steel around her waist, his heavy body curling around hers in mid-air, creating a bubble around her before the shockwave hit.

When she did hit the ground, it was a physical blow. The stage behind them made way as the wood and metal that held it up erupted into shards. The force made them hit the ground even harder.

They landed a few feet away from the stage, sliding across the polished stone of the plaza. Aser took the entire impact, and he grunted in pain when his back hit a table.

Then, the sound returned.

"Cassie!" Aser’s voice was ragged, right in her ear. "Cassie, baby, are you okay?"

Cassie coughed and pushed against Aser’s chest, trying to sit up. Her ears were ringing violently, and she was generally uncomfortable.

    The next morning, Cassie woke up in the master bedroom of their house, where the air was warm and still compared to outside, where the storm had just subsided. Cassie woke up slowly. Her body felt heavy and light at the same time, yet every muscle ached. Her ribs throbbed where Aser had tackled her, and her knees were scraped raw from the slide across the concrete. She opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling, waiting for the sound of an orange explosion ringing, but nothing happened. There was only silence. "You're awake." Aser's voice rumbled from beside her. Cassie turned her head on the pillow to find her man lying on his side, watching her. His eyes were usually gold when he was being an Alpha, but this morning, they were a warm, chocolate brown. "How long have you been watching me?" "About an hour." Aser admitted, reaching out to brush a stray hair from her face. "I just wanted to make sure you were really here. That yesterday wasn't a hallucination." Cassie closed her e

    "Slow down," Varga hissed at his lieutenant, who was driving them to safety. "You're going to get us pulled over. And if the cops stop us before I can dispose the remote in my pocket, I'm going to kill you." "I’m driving the limit, boss," the lieutenant argued, sweat beading on his forehead. "But we’re exposed out here. We need cover." Varga looked at his phone to see that the director had sent a set of coordinates. It wasn't the usual safehouse it was even more fortified with security. It was the Syndicate’s main building in the city, and the location was mostly kept a secret. "Take the next exit." Varga ordered. "Are you sure? That’s a dead end." "Just drive!" Varga checked the sky through the window. It was pitch black so he couldn't see anything. "We lost them," Varga whispered, trying to convince himself. "The blast must have scrambled their comms. They’re probably still digging bodies out of the rubble." He smiled cruelly. Yes, he hadn't killed her, but he couldn't imagine

    Beneath the skyline, the plaza had been transformed. Where there had been rubble and police tape a few weeks ago, there was now a sprawling, open-air ballroom. White silk tents billowed in the evening breeze. A massive stage had been erected at the far end, complete with a digital screen displaying the Mane-NovaTech logo.Underneath the elegant stage, between all the metal and heavy cables, was a man wearing a catering uniform. He checked his watch for the nth time that evening. It was still early on, but the guests were starting to arrive.He reached for the gas tank connected to the industrial heater meant to warm the VIP space and disconnected the standard tank to replace it with the modified one. It looked identical to his satisfaction. He connected the hose and taped a small, black receiver to the back of the valve."The oven is preheated," he whispered into his radio.From a rooftop half a mile away, Dmitri Varga watched through a spotting scope. He smiled."Good, get out of the

    The next day, Cassie’s office had been turned into a makeshift boutique for an exclusive shop to get her a custom-made dress for the gala. Racks of couture gowns surrounded her, and three nervous assistants of the fashion house were fluttering around Cassie, pins in their mouths. "It’s too tight on the ribs," Cassie muttered, wincing as another tightened the corset. "I can't breathe, plus I need to be able to run if necessary." "Run?" Paolo, the lead designer, looked horrified. "Miss Stone, this is a custom silk chiffon. You cant, no, you will not run in silk, you will strut." "Pray the building doesn't catch fire. Loosen it." Aser sat on the sofa, watching the spectacle with amusement. He had a tablet in his lap, trying to approve important documents for work, but his eyes kept drifting to Cassie. "You look beautiful, baby." Aser commented as he eyed her appreciatively. He was right. She looked beautiful in the golden gown that would make sure she was the sole center of attent

    In an unregistered building overlooking Central Park, Dmitri Varga stood in the center of the room, dripping wet. He hadn't changed out of his clothes since the warehouse disaster.Sitting in a leather chair facing the window was a distinguished old man who looked like a respectable university professor. He dressed the part, too, in a tweed jacket and with his silver hair neatly combed back. This was the Director of the Syndicate. "Repeat that for me, Dmitri," the director said softly, not turning around. "I want to make sure I understand what you're telling me.""It... it was a cyberattack," Varga stammered. "Cassie Stone did this. She's the reason the entire operation is cooked.""And the crypto wallets?""Gone," Varga whispered. "The keys were stored locally, so we lost access when the drives melted, meaning she locked us out of 1 billion dollars."That finally made the director turn to look at him with such coldness on his kind, grandfatherly face that Dmitri stumbled lightly."1
