The sky over Prague was bruised with the purple hues of early evening as Grace Ashford stepped out of the limo, wrapped in midnight blue silk that shimmered like moonlight on water. The grand opera house, now transformed into the venue for Roland Eckhart’s infamous annual charity ball, loomed like a palace of secrets.

Grace's steps were steady, calculated, her arm entwined with Nathaniel’s. Every movement was rehearsed, every glance choreographed. This wasn’t just a party.

It was a battlefield dressed in velvet and gold.

As she reached the entrance, cameras flashed, their lights stinging like hornets. Journalists called her name, hungry for a quote from the woman who’d dethroned Verona and survived a corporate war.

Grace offered a poised smile.

The Queen had arrived.

Inside the Wolf’s Den

The ballroom glittered with opulence, golden chandeliers, marble columns, and a sea of masked elites moving to the delicate waltz of a live orchestra.

Everyone was watching her.

Nathaniel leaned in,

    The night Adrian agreed to fight with Grace, the air at Ashford Estate shifted. The quiet calm before a storm was replaced with a charged anticipation, as if every chandelier, every corridor, every brick of the mansion knew that the final reckoning was coming.And that it would not be merciful.Tethered to a LegacyGrace sat alone in the inner sanctum of her father’s old vault, one of the many rooms still untouched since the last explosion. Shelves of dusty journals lined the walls, filled with Roland Ashford’s tight handwriting.Each page a lie. Each paragraph a strategy to control, conquer, manipulate.And in the center of it all now stood his youngest child, Adrian.“I found this,” Nathaniel said, stepping into the vault and holding out a weathered black folder. “Hidden inside the piano at the orphanage. Looks like your father’s handwriting.”Grace took it with trembling hands.Inside were pages of genetic code, psychological profiles, handwritten notes and chilling phrases circled

    The silence after the storm was deceptive.Ashford Estate stood battered but upright, walls scorched, windows blown, its gardens turned graveyard. The staff walked like shadows, whispering prayers for the lost, while Eva and Samira coordinated recovery teams. Yet beneath the surface, something even more dangerous stirred: a revelation that would make the last war seem like a prologue.Grace held the device with her father's final message in her hand, the words looping in her head like a warning bell.“I left behind one final heir. One who was never activated. One who doesn’t even know what they are yet…”Another heir. Another SEED.“God,” she murmured, pacing the remnants of her father’s old study. “How many secrets are buried in this house?”Nathaniel watched her quietly from across the room, arms folded, a bandage on his jaw. “What are you thinking?”“I’m thinking I’m not done fighting ghosts.”“You’re not,” he agreed. “But this one, this ghost might not even know they’re a weapon.”

    The dawn was ghost-pale over Zurich.In the distance, church bells rang faintly, hollow echoes across the city skyline, oblivious to the war that was hours from erupting behind Ashford Estate’s towering gates.Grace stood before her assembled SEEDs in the training hall, now converted into a command center. A holographic map of the compound flickered above the table. Every pathway. Every weak point. Every escape route.Her voice was calm, but inside, adrenaline rushed like a tsunami.“Jade will strike today. We don’t know how many she’s bringing, but assume they're trained, lethal, and have no hesitation.”Nathaniel stepped forward. “We hold the compound. We don’t chase. We don’t leave formation. Everyone follows Grace’s orders.”Samira, dressed in all black, crossed her arms. “And if she tries to negotiate?”“She won’t,” Grace replied. “Jade only talks when it benefits her.”Eva smirked, a dagger twirling between her fingers. “Good. I’m done talking anyway.”Hearts Before the FireBef

    The storm had not yet arrived in Zurich, but the air was heavy with it, restless winds rustling through tall pines outside the Ashford compound as if warning of what was to come.Grace stood at the window, watching the first snowflakes drift silently to the ground. The calm before the battle.Behind her, voices buzzed in the war room. Dozens of SEEDs had responded to the broadcast, encrypted messages, anonymous pings, even voice recordings of confused, angry, curious siblings.Some wanted answers.Some wanted revenge.And some... wanted to belong.The ArrivalThe first to arrive was a woman named Samira, codename Eris. Tall, statuesque, with sun-kissed skin and steel-gray eyes that glinted with hidden fire.She wore a long crimson coat and carried a pistol that had seen too much.Eva met her at the gates with two guards.“You’re late,” Eva said.Samira arched a brow. “I was uninvited.”Eva smirked. “Then come in anyway.”More came.A brother from Taiwan, silent, tactical, whose codena

    The tension inside the Zurich bunker was so thick it could’ve been cut with a blade.Everyone moved with precision, Noah coordinating surveillance, Aria assembling field teams, Eva silently observing, and Grace... Grace felt as though the walls were slowly closing in on her. Every breath was heavier, every thought laced with dread.Jade was coming.A ghost from the same bloodline. A sister. A killer.Grace stood at the center of the operations room, arms crossed, eyes locked on a large screen projecting the world map. One red dot blinked in Johannesburg. The same red that marked Roland’s death, and now, Jade’s presence.“Any movement?” she asked, voice clipped.Noah zoomed in on the satellite feed. “She’s left the safehouse she was in. Last seen on surveillance near the airport two hours ago. We assume she’s heading west.”Nathaniel leaned against the wall, arms folded across his chest. “She’s not wasting time. If she’s anything like Roland described, she’s trained to disappear into c

    The sea was deceptively calm. Grace stood on the balcony of their temporary safehouse in Santorini, her eyes scanning the endless blue horizon. The island was peaceful, sun, soaked stone buildings, narrow cobblestone paths, blooming bougainvillea, but her heart was in a constant storm. The truth Roland revealed before he died haunted her. More siblings. Scattered. Unaware. Dangerous. She didn’t know what scared her more, the idea of finding them, or the possibility of becoming like them. Behind her, the sliding doors opened. Nathaniel stepped out, shirtless, a towel wrapped loosely around his waist. His hair was damp from the shower, and his gaze softened when it landed on her. “You’ve been out here for hours.” Grace didn’t turn around. “I can’t sleep.” He joined her, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind. “You don’t have to carry all of it alone.” Her voice broke. “But I do. Because if there are more of us, and they’re as broken as we were…” “They’re not you,” he
