LOGINMy heart pounded violently against my ribs as I stared through the glass.My body tensed as the artificial systems of machinery and sigils forced Asher’s body back into function.The monitors flickered.An unstable heartbeat appeared.But the brainwaves remained flat.Nothing.Absolutely nothing.Th
Mindlink was the only form of communication that remained functional. If something happened in the bunker, the healers would contact me directly.Right.There was no way these whales knew Asher was here.The whales united at a distance from the facility and then swam out of sight.The restlessness i
[Raven]A hauntingly gentle, high-pitched whale cry froze me in my place the moment we teleported into the transit chamber of the underwater facility.The squad leader instinctively stood before me, taking a protective stance.“These are…” his voice trailed off as he gaped through the glass-dome cei
