ログインPHEROMONE BLINDCHAPTER FORTY-SIXThe next morning arrived beneath a gray sky, and by the time Lucas, Eric, Hayes, and Arthur reached the outskirts of Northbridge Medical Research Center, the entire area felt strangely deserted. The facility stood beyond a line of overgrown trees, its concrete walls stained by years of rain and neglect, while several broken windows stared back at them like dark, empty eyes. From the road, it looked exactly like the abandoned building described in the public records, but Lucas couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched. The photograph of Subject Five remained on his phone, and the words written on its back kept returning to his mind.ROOM SEVEN WAS NEVER EMPTY.Hayes parked several hundred feet away from the entrance instead of driving directly toward the building. "We walk from here," he said, switching off the engine. "If someone is monitoring the property, I don't want them seeing a vehicle pull directly up to the entrance."Lucas open
PHEROMONE BLINDCHAPTER FORTY-FIVE Lucas stared at the message until the words began to blur.Don't trust the man beside you.His fingers tightened around the phone, and for several seconds he couldn't bring himself to look at Eric. The warning shouldn't have affected him this much. He knew that. Whoever had sent it had already proven they were capable of manipulating information, watching him without his knowledge, and reaching them through systems that were supposed to have been destroyed years ago. It could have been another attempt to frighten him, another calculated move designed to make him question the one person who had remained beside him through everything.But the photograph had shown the silver bracelet.The same symbol that had followed him throughout the mystery surrounding his childhood.Lucas slowly lowered the phone.Eric was still watching him."What did the message say?"Lucas hesitated.That hesitation was enough for Eric's expression to change."Lucas.""It's not
CHAPTER TWODarian couldn't move.Soren's hand was still wrapped around his wrist, warm and steady, while hundreds of eyes burned into his back. The weight of the council hall pressed in from every direction—whispers, judgment, disbelief—all of it converging on him like a physical force.The words kept repeating inside his head.I choose him.No one had ever chosen Darian.Not first.Not willingly.Not like this.Not in a room full of Alphas who looked at him like he was something disposable.“Let go of me.”Soren's eyes narrowed slightly, as if the request itself was something he had already considered and dismissed.“No.”Darian stared at him, disbelief flickering into anger.“You can't just walk into this hall and claim me.”“I didn't claim you.”“You just told everyone I'm yours.”“I told them what I intend.”Darian's heart stumbled at the calm certainty in his voice.“What you intend?”Soren stepped closer, closing the space between them in a way that made the air feel tighter.“
PHEROMONE BLIND CHAPTER FORTY-THREE STARWRITES The Missing ChildrenThe room remained unnaturally quiet after Arthur's revelation. Lucas stood beside Eric with his eyes fixed on the Project Genesis file, but the name Adrian Vale kept circling through his mind. The founder of Asterion had supposedly died sixteen years ago, yet somehow his initials had appeared repeatedly throughout the records surrounding Lucas's birth. If Adrian really was alive, then the person hunting Lucas might have been watching him for far longer than anyone realized. But there was another question that bothered Lucas even more."What about the others?"Arthur looked at him.Lucas pointed toward the six remaining folders scattered across the table."Subjects One through Six."His voice was steadier now, although his hands were still trembling slightly."You said there were seven children. If I was Subject Seven, what happened to the other six?"Nobody answered immediately.Hayes slowly gathered the six folder
CHAPTER FORTY-TWOChild Number Seven 2The room remained silent long after Arthur's final words.Lucas stood completely still, staring at the photograph in his hands. The tiny baby wrapped in the pale blue blanket looked impossibly small, almost fragile enough to disappear beneath the weight of the world that had been built around him. Yet according to the records on the table, that child had been important enough for an entire organization to erase his identity.He slowly placed the photograph back on the table."So my name wasn't always Lucas Bennett."Arthur shook his head."No.""What was it?"Arthur hesitated."We don't know."Lucas frowned."You don't know my name?""The original birth record was altered before I ever saw it."Hayes immediately reached for another folder."Then there should still be a copy somewhere."Arthur looked at him."There was.""Was?"Arthur nodded."The original record was kept at St. Gabriel Maternity Hospital. But several years after your birth, the h
PHEROMONE BLIND CHAPTER FORTY ONEThe seal broke with a faint crack.For a moment, nobody moved.Arthur's fingers remained resting on the edge of the thick folder, his eyes fixed on the faded red letters stamped across its cover. PROJECT GENESIS. The name had been hidden for eighteen years, protected by layers of secrecy, fear, and silence, yet somehow those two words had found their way back into Lucas's life. Lucas stood beside Eric, staring at the file with a strange mixture of dread and anticipation. He had spent weeks searching for answers about the bracelet, his hidden identity, and the people who seemed determined to keep his past buried. Now, for the first time, the truth was sitting directly in front of him."Open it," Hayes said quietly.Arthur didn't immediately respond.Instead, he looked at Lucas."I need you to understand something before we continue."Lucas swallowed."What?""Some of what you're about to see may be difficult."Lucas gave a faint, humorless smile."Aft
