REBIRTH OF THE APOCALYPSE QUEEN: This time I choose revenge CHAPTER 101 — JULIAN'S RECKONING
The sanctum's alarms had settled into a steady, pulsing red glow rather than the initial blaring urgency, and in that strange, waiting quiet, Julian's voice came through the handheld with a rawness that cut past every other concern in the room."I need an answer," he said. "Now. Whatever happens in the next six hours makes it impossible to get one at all."Crowe turned toward the small device clipped to Sera's vest, understanding immediately who he was addressing. "Julian Sterling," he said. "I wondered how long you'd wait before asking directly, rather than through intermediaries.""You told Sera she died fourteen years ago. During integration. I want the actual truth. All of it. Not the shortest version you think will satisfy me."Crowe was quiet for a moment, and when he answered, something in his voice carried the same clinical detachment he'd used describing every other horror across these past months, a precision that somehow made the words land harder than any visible remorse c
REBIRTH OF THE APOCALYPSE QUEEN: This time I choose revenge CHAPTER 100 — THE FACILITY LOCKDOWN
Crowe's expression settled slowly into something Sera hadn't seen from him before—not the warm, unhurried performance of every previous encounter, not even the genuine, unsettling delight he'd shown discovering her defiance. Something colder. More final."I confess," he said, "I hoped you might surprise me toward acceptance rather than rejection. But I find, even now, that your refusal doesn't diminish my fascination. If anything, it clarifies something I should have anticipated far sooner.""What are you doing," Lucien said, watching Crowe's hand drift toward a panel embedded in the machinery beside him."Ensuring the process concludes regardless of your decision," Crowe said simply. "I built this mechanism with contingencies for exactly this outcome, Miss Ashford. A candidate capable of refusing inheritance outright was always a possibility I had to account for, however unlikely I judged it."He pressed his palm against the panel.Alarms erupted through the facility at once, red eme
REBIRTH OF THE APOCALYPSE QUEEN: This time I choose revenge CHAPTER 99— INHERIT, NOT SAVE
Crowe rose fully from the edge of his chair now, moving toward the bank of humming machinery with the unhurried patience of a man finally approaching the last piece of a puzzle he'd spent his whole life assembling."I want to correct something," he said. "A misunderstanding I've allowed to persist longer than I probably should have, out of a certain professional curiosity about how far you'd carry it before I finally clarified.""Clarify, then," Sera said."You believe you've been fighting this entire time to save the world," Crowe said, turning to face her fully, his expression carrying none of its usual performative warmth now, something starker and more direct in its place. "The coalition. The rescues. Every hard choice you've made about mercy and sacrifice and who deserves protection. You've framed it, I think, as resistance. As survival for its own sake, and for the sake of everyone you love.""That's exactly what it's been.""No," Crowe said, gently but with an unshakeable certa
REBIRTH OF THE APOCALYPSE QUEEN: This time I choose revenge CHAPTER 98 — THE COMPETITION REVEALED
Crowe's expression shifted as he studied the two of them standing together—Sera near the chair, Lucien close beside her, the instinctive proximity of months spent trusting each other through impossible circumstances—and something in his careful, composed features finally cracked into what looked like genuine, unguarded delight."I confess," he said, "this is the part of the conversation I've been most looking forward to.""What are you talking about," Lucien said, his voice tight with wariness."You," Crowe said, gesturing between them. "Both of you. I didn't build you to complement each other, Lucien. I built you as rivals."The room went very still."Explain that," Sera said, her voice hard."Lucien was my first successful stabilization candidate," Crowe said, settling back against the edge of his chair, entirely at ease despite the weapon still trained loosely in his direction. "The foundation. But a single candidate is never sufficient for research of this magnitude, Miss Ashford.
REBIRTH OF THE APOCALYPSE QUEEN: This time I choose revenge CHAPTER 97 — THE FULL TRUTH
"Explain," Sera said, her voice hard, though something in Crowe's admission had already begun reshaping every assumption she'd carried into this room."Sit," Crowe said again, and this time, perhaps sensing the shift in her, Sera lowered herself slowly into the chair he'd offered, weapon still trained loosely in her direction but no longer raised with the same immediate intent. Julian's voice stayed silent on the handheld, listening. Lucien remained standing near the machinery, watchful."I've told you the trigger was meant to force adaptation," Crowe began. "That much remains true. But it was never the final objective, Miss Ashford. It was a filtering mechanism. A way to narrow an impossibly large field down to something workable.""Workable for what."Crowe was quiet a moment, and when he continued, something in his voice had shifted into a register Sera hadn't heard from him before—not the warm, unhurried performance of every previous encounter, but something closer to exhaustion,
REBIRTH OF THE APOCALYPSE QUEEN: This time I choose revenge CHAPTER 96 — REACHING CROWE'S SANCTUM
The reinforced door finally gave way under Priya's hands, and she peeled off toward the lower holding cells with two of the strike team's remaining fighters, following the schematics toward wherever the facility's last captive subjects were being kept."Go," Sera told her. "Get them out. We'll handle whatever's waiting further in.""Be careful," Priya said, already moving. "Whatever he's got waiting for you in there, it's not going to be simple."She disappeared down the side corridor, and Sera pressed forward with Julian—patched through now via a secure handheld unit Priya had rigged before splitting off—and Lucien, who'd rejoined them minutes earlier, blood-streaked and exhausted from whatever the diversion had cost him, though he'd refused to explain the details beyond a grim confirmation that he'd made it out."You're hurt," Sera said, noting the way he favored one side."It's not mine," Lucien said simply, and something in his flat, exhausted tone told her not to press further.T
