เข้าสู่ระบบDamion’s Point of View*********The bond recognized him.Not like it recognized Jane.Not like it recognized Valir.This was older.Deeper.The reaction tore through me so violently my knees nearly buckled beneath the force of it. Gold flared across my vision, burning through the edges of the clearing while Valir surged upward in sudden, primal rage.Not fear.Never fear.Hatred.Pure enough to choke on.The Architect stopped several feet beyond the creatures kneeling in the dirt, silver eyes calmly sweeping across the clearing like he had all the time in the world.Like this meeting had always been inevitable.“You’ve grown stronger than expected,” he said softly.The sound of his voice made my skin crawl instantly.Not because it was loud.Because it wasn’t.He spoke with the calm certainty of someone who had never needed to raise his voice to be obeyed.Around him, the corrupted creatures remained frozen in submission, trembling faintly as though his presence alone kept them held
Damion’s Point of View*******The words hit harder than the attack had.“They think we’re like them.”For one terrible second, nobody moved.The forest itself seemed to recoil into silence around us, the air dense enough to choke on. Even the creatures had gone still again, their distorted bodies trembling faintly as though whatever connected them was struggling to stabilize after the backlash from the bond.But their attention never left us.Especially me and Jane.Watching.Waiting.Recognizing.Valir remained unnaturally silent beneath my skin, but I could feel him there, coiled tight around instinct and fury both. Not confused. Not afraid.Suspicious.Because Jane was right.The shift in their behavior wasn’t random anymore. It wasn’t predatory curiosity.It was an expectation.The creature kneeling closest to us lifted its head another inch, the remnants of humanity still visible beneath the corruption. The distortion around its face flickered inconsistently now, like damaged gl
Damion’s Point of View*********The silence after Jane’s words settled heavier than the pressure itself. They’re trying to enter it, not break it, not corrupt it, not sever it, enter it. The realization sat wrong inside my chest because it implied intent far beyond instinct; predators tore things apart and parasites consumed them. But this? This was an adaptation, observation, intelligence.And intelligence changed the rules, the creature ahead remained perfectly still now, its form no longer twitching with unstable distortion, the others around it held position too, aligned with an eerie precision that made my skin crawl more than any attack had, they were waiting, learning.Valir paced beneath my ribs like restrained violence, every movement sharp enough to scrape against my control. Destroy them, the instinct growled. End it before it evolves further.I wanted to.But the problem with intelligent enemies was that killing one didn’t stop the rest from remembering.The pressure brus
Damion’s Point of View (continued)***********The pressure didn’t just touch the bond this time, it traced it not blindly, not curiously but deliberately. Like something running its fingers along a seam, testing where it might split. Valir's presence sharpened instantly inside me, no longer just watchful, alert, coiled, not afraid but not dismissing it either, they are mapping us.The realization came with a cold kind of clarity that settled deep in my chest. Jane's hand brushed mine, barely there, but the contact grounded the current between us, not softer, just steadier, controlled.“They’re not just reaching,” he said under his breath. “They’re learning the structure.”“I know.”And that was the problem. Before, they had reacted to the bond like something foreign. Now they were beginning to understand it.“They’ll try to separate it,” I said quietly. Jane went still beside me.Kael’s voice came low from my other side. “Or replicate it.” That was worse.Because if they could mimic
Damion’s Point of View**********Sleep became a strategy. No one called it that, but that’s what it was. Not rest for recovery, rest for function, timed, rotated, measured in how long someone could afford to let their awareness dip without compromising the whole. I didn't sleep, not fully, I let my body go still at intervals, leaned against the wall just inside the inner line, eyes closed but mind alert. Tracking every shift through the bond like a second pulse beneath my own.Jane stayed close, even though I had tried to persuade him to go back home so he could get some rest, as I didn't want to leave the pack members to be on their own tonight, but he refused to go inside, not without me, and I'm worried about him coupled with him being pregnant and all. But having him here with me, I must confess, keeps me calm.Before, the bond between us had always been strong, something we moved through, relied on, trusted without question. Now, we were aware of it in a different way, like stan
Damion’s Point of View********They didn’t move for a long time after that, not because they were frozen, but because something had shifted so deeply that instinct itself needed to be recalibrated. The kind of silence that followed wasn’t fear, it was processing. Every person there had felt it, that pressure, that wrongness, that awareness pressing against them like something unseen had brushed the edge of their existence and decided to step back for now.I let my gaze move slowly across the compound, taking stock the way I always did after a threat. No one was injured, no one had broken formation, no one had run, good. But their eyes were different now, there was something new in them now, not panic, not even doubt, but understanding. They knew, just like I did, that what we had just faced wasn’t something we could fight the way we fought anything before.“They didn’t leave because we forced them to,” Mara said quietly behind me.I didn’t turn. “No.”“They chose to.”“Yes.” That mat
Jane's Point Of View ********* "Oh my god, dude you're so hooked". Dave said laughing and I didn't need to be told, because I knew he'd start bombarding me with questions. "Shut up". I said as I headed to the bathroom, not sparing him a glance. "Come and give me the full gist when you finish bathing
Jane's Point Of View**********I woke up to a strange feeling in my stomach and also to an empty bed. I looked around the room and listened to see if I'd hear the sound of water running in the bathroom, but I still didn't hear anything. I suddenly started to cry because my mate wasn't with me, he lef
Jane's Point Of View*********"Baby wake up". I heard him say as he shook me to wake up, but I simply hit his hand away and turned on the other side. But he shook me again and I felt like screaming at him for disturbing my beautiful sleep."Let me sleep". I said sleepily and was about to drift back to
Jane's Point Of View**********When I woke up, I checked the time and it was almost 3pm, so I had about an hour to prepare myself. Damion was still sleeping with his arm wrapped around my waist, when I made to stand up, his hold around me tightened. He's such a baby when he's sleeping. I watched him
