TRACY

The gray afternoon light filtering through the blinds felt heavy, pressing down on the cramped living room. I sat at my dining table, staring at the lines of diagnostic algorithm code on my laptop screen. The cursor blinked rhythmically.

It mocked my inability to focus.

That's when it happened.

A sudden, vicious cramp seized my abdomen, sharp enough to steal the breath right out of my lungs. I doubled over, pressing the heel of my hand hard into my stomach.

    SEANThe damp chill of the mountain air finally began to numb my bare shoulders, but the woman resting her head against my chest was perfectly warm. Wrapped tightly in my oversized flannel shirt, Tracy looked peaceful, her breathing even for the first time in days. My shirt engulfed her small frame, the hem reaching her knees.I stroked her hair, my fingers tangling in the dark strands. The raw, physical bond we had just forged felt deeper than any legal mark. She had trusted me with her body while she was at her weakest, and I had proven I could control the monster inside me to keep her safe.A sharp, high-pitched electronic shriek shattered the quiet night.Tracy jolted upright instantly. Her smartphone, sitting face-up on a flat rock near our discarded clothes, flashed a violent, piercing red. The digital alarm echoed loudly over the steady rumble of the waterfall."What is that?" I asked, sitting up and reaching for my combat pants."The mainframe," Tracy whispered, her face turni

    AUTHOR'S POVThe scream shattered the tension in the room.Tracy slammed her laptop shut. The loud crack echoed over the blaring alarms outside. She stood up, her fists clenched at her sides. Her breathing was ragged, her chest heaving, and the dark circles under her eyes looked stark against her pale skin."Shut the fuck up! Both of you!" Tracy pointed a shaking finger directly at Sam. "I am not your partner, Sam! I am your employee! You ambushed me with the press today. You touched me without asking, and you used my face to inflate your stock prices!"Sam blinked, his arrogant posture faltering. "Tracy, I was just trying to build the brand—""You built a target!" she yelled, her voice cracking. Pivoting on her heel, she turned her furious gaze on me.I braced myself."And you!" Tracy stepped forward, jabbing her index finger hard into my chest. "You storm in here with armed guards like a warlord! You command me to drop my life's work! You don't ask what I need. You just issue orders

    SEANThe sweat pricked the back of my neck despite the blasting air conditioning in my packhouse office. The July heat outside baked the asphalt into a shimmering mirage, matching the absolute, violent fury boiling in my gut. Keeping Tracy safe from Chandler’s hitmen was my only goal today. But looking at the eighty-inch flat screen mounted on my wall, the real threat wore a custom Italian suit.Sam Zach."Turn the volume up," I commanded.David, my Beta, grabbed the remote and hit the button. The news anchor’s voice filled the room, loud and entirely too cheerful.*"Dubbed the 'Tech Savant,' this unknown developer's algorithm correctly predicted a massive server failure and diagnosed a critical patient three minutes faster than the hospital's top medical team. The leaked footage already has ten million views."*The screen cut to a shaky cell phone video. Tracy stood in the center of the hospital testing floor, her eyes glued to a tablet, rattling off medical jargon while alarms blare

    AUTHOR'S POVHeavy June rain hammered against the corrugated iron roof of the underground bar, drowning out the low thumping bass.Yvonne crossed her arms over her expensive trench coat, shivering as the damp, stifling humidity clung to her skin. The subterranean tavern smelled of wet dog, stale beer, and raw ozone from the thunderstorm raging across the city. Sitting across the sticky wooden booth, a man with a jagged scar down his neck lazily counted the stacks of crisp hundred-dollar bills. Securing her position as Luna meant cutting out Chandler’s obsession at the root, and this human mercenary was the only blade sharp enough to do it."Fifty thousand," Silas said. He tapped the thick envelope against the table. "This covers the entry fee. But hitting a pack hospital? That’s suicide. Alpha Sean has his elite guards blanketing the entire VIP wing.""You aren't going in through the front door with a gun," Yvonne snapped.She reached into her designer purse and slid a forged plastic

    TRACYThe overwhelming smell of bleach and rubbing alcohol dragged me back to consciousness.Opening my eyes, a harsh fluorescent light stabbed at my pupils. I blinked rapidly, trying to clear the blurry shapes around me. A steady, rhythmic beeping sounded near my right ear. I was lying in a hospital bed, the stiff, sterile sheets pulled up to my waist. An IV needle dug uncomfortably into the back of my left hand."Welcome back."Turning my head, I saw Dr. Evans standing at the foot of the bed. He held a silver digital tablet, his face drawn and lined with deep exhaustion. He wore a crisp white lab coat over a dark blue sweater."How long was I out?" I croaked. My throat felt like sandpaper."Three hours," Dr. Evans replied, stepping closer to the side of the bed. "Your coworkers called the paramedics. They transported you to a human ER, but Alpha Sean’s security team intercepted the ambulance and brought you straight to the pack hospital's VIP wing. You are safe here.""The blood," I

    TRACYRed error codes cascaded down the black terminal screen in an endless, mocking waterfall. *Fatal Exception. Directory Corrupt.*Ice-cold air conditioning blasted from the penthouse vents, raising goosebumps along my bare arms, but a hot bead of sweat still trickled down my spine. The low, mechanical hum of the server racks behind my desk sounded exactly like a ticking clock. Two o'clock. The major investor review started in exactly four hours. Securing their millions in funding was my only objective today. It was the only way to push this diagnostic AI into clinical trials before my own biological clock permanently ran out."Oh, wow."Clicking her tongue, Clara leaned her hip against my glass cubicle partition. She wore a pristine white blazer and a smug, razor-thin smile that didn't quite reach her narrow eyes."Looks like a total system failure," Clara noted. She tapped her manicured acrylic nails against her coffee cup. "Such a shame. The investors are already setting up in t

    SEANThe metallic stench of fresh blood and the sickening, sweet odor of scorched flesh hung heavily in the damp air of the underground holding cells, clinging to my clothes and burning the back of my throat with every breath. I stood completely motionless over the mutilated corpse of the rogue wh

    AUTHOR'S POV But one of them, Elder Cage did not bow his head. The gray-haired veteran kept his spine perfectly straight. He looked at Yvonne with unmasked disgust, then shifted his hard gaze to Chandler. "I will not recognize a parasite as my Luna," Cage stated. The words cut through the room lik

    TRACY It started as a deep, creeping cold. I had been feeling sick for three days. I ignored it. I drank more coffee. I took more ibuprofen. I told myself it was just the stress of the resignation, the exhaustion of moving into the new apartment, the lingering adrenaline from the seminar. I told

    AUTHOR'S POV. Quinton Taylor, Chandler’s most trusted advisor and second-in-command, stood near the projector screen. Quinton did not look nervous, but his movements were overly deliberate. He walked to the center of the table and slid a single, unmarked manila folder across the polished wood. It s
