NIKOLAI Pov

The car was already waiting at the curb. I got in without breaking stride, pulled the door shut, and sat back. The leather was cold. The city outside the tinted windows moved past in streaks of light and noise.

"Anything?" I said.

Drev's eyes found me in the rearview mirror. He had been with me for four years and had learned that I asked that question as a baseline, before anything else.

"A few things, sir. Nothing critical." He paused. "There have been calls, though, from the famil

    The dust was still floating in the air from the broken wall when a slim figure in armor stepped calmly through the jagged hole. Kayla stood on the second-floor landing, her cold eyes scanning the big room below. Then she jumped over the marble railing and dropped two full stories, landing without a sound like it was nothing. Kenan laughed loudly from the middle of the foyer, turning away from the shocked twins. "You really thought you were so smart, huh?" he sneered, straightening his fancy jacket. "We knew Sergey was dead before we even got to the gate. And we knew his kids had teamed up with Player 001 right away." Kayla stepped closer, staring straight at Ara, who was slowly pushing herself up off the floor. "Hand over the flash drive with the NexMind files, Ara," she said flatly. "You don’t have enough health left to survive this." Ara’s hand moved to her pocket without thinking. Right before Kayla had smashed her through the wall, she’d quickly hidden the drive there. She

    Ara froze, staring at the empty space where the second compartment used to be. The image wouldn’t leave her—all those people, screaming, gone into the clouds in seconds, the sound of it still ringing somewhere behind her eyes. “Hey! Don’t freeze up now! Let us out!” someone shouted from the third compartment, hands slamming against the glass below. That snapped her out of it. She moved fast, grabbing the hinges on the third cell, her chest still tight from what she’d just watched happen. She pulled, forcing everything she had left into it, racing whatever automated system was going to try and drop this floor too. In the first compartment, Silas and Ronan were pulling players out through the broken frame as fast as they could, trying to keep it from turning into a stampede. Nobody was listening to them, everyone just wanted out before the floor gave way like the last one had, and every few seconds someone shoved past someone else, too scared to wait their turn. Maksim, finally

    The countdown sat fixed in the corner of Ara’s vision, steady and merciless, refusing to slow down for anyone. **APOCALYPSE COUNTDOWN:** **[ 06:25:59 ]** She smoothed the thin motel mattress, trying to keep her hands busy while her mind stayed somewhere else entirely. She was supposed to be sharing the room with Milana and two of the women they’d pulled off the airship, but she wasn’t really there. She was still out on the Blackwater sea with Silas, Ronan, and Daniel. She couldn’t stop picturing their boat cutting through the waves, heading for the line that separated Telenburgh from everywhere else. “Ara, stop pacing,” Milana said, not for the first time, sitting on the edge of the other bed with her arms crossed. Her voice had lost its usual edge. “I’ve told you three times already that they’re going to be fine. Those three are stubborn enough to survive anything. You know that better than anyone.” Ara stopped at the window, staring out at the hazy orange lights lining the do

    **Chapter 34** Back at the hideout, the air still smelled like sewer water, copper, and wet concrete. Silas groaned as Ara straightened his arm out, trying to work the spasm out of his shoulder. She rinsed a towel in a basin of lukewarm water, wrung it out, and pressed it against the bruise on his bicep. He flinched hard, jaw tight, biting down whatever sound wanted to come out of him. “Sorry,” she muttered, easing off the pressure a little. “It’s fine,” he said, though his voice said otherwise. “Keep going.” Daniel pulled up a crate and sat across from them, his face grim in the low light. “What else did you get out of those players, Silas? Did they know who put them there?” “They didn’t even know each other at first,” Silas said, wincing as she adjusted her grip. “Except a few—some cousins, a couple of brothers. NexMind grabbed them off the street, out of their apartments, off their jobs, wherever, and none of them knew why at the time. It wasn’t until they were all stu

    It took a full day to track down the engineer Dain had mentioned. The wait was brutal, as every tick of the clock felt like a hammer strike. Out in the city, small things kept shifting: security protocols changing, strange power grid flickers, all of it pointing to a system closing in on its final phase. Ara, Ronan, and Dain left for the outskirts early that morning in an unmarked car, trying to stay off the surveillance grid. Daniel and the twins stayed behind, still working every angle they had to get a signal off Silas’s wristband or catch anything coming down from the ship. Back at the safehouse, tension was fraying fast. Maksim leaned against the table, arms crossed, staring at the countdown on the wall display. “Three days,” he said, voice flat and bitter. “Less than two day until day eight, and we don’t even have a confirmed lead. We’re out of time.” Milana looked up from her console. “A little hope wouldn’t kill you, Maksim. Ara and Ronan have something solid. If Ramsd

    Arianna's Pov By the time I knew what was happening, Nikolai crossed the room in three tides, cornering me, my back hitting the wall with a full force, his left hand on my waist, the right one resting on my neck deliberately. His lips found mine like he had been hungry for this, and had waited

    Arianna's Pov I stared at him. A second passed, then another. The seconds stretched at the edges because my brain refused to process what it just heard."You're married," I said, not as a question, but to process what I had just heard."I'm aware." He responded like it meant nothing."You're stand

    Arianna's Pov The first thing I noticed when I woke up that morning was Noah's breathing. It was wet and sounded like he was having difficulty breathing. I pressed my hand to his forehead, and the heat burning through my palm confirmed what I already feared. He was running a fever. "Mama." His
