POV: ALEX

I expected Phina to protect her supplies with security guards. I did not expect her to step into the fight herself.

The emergency dispatch came through just after midnight, right as I was leaving the lower perimeter check of Highland Crest Manor. A silent alarm had triggered at a secondary staging warehouse on the south ridge—one of the few logistics nodes Phina hadn't yet completely liquidated or moved into her core vaults.

When I offered to accompany her, expecting her to wait saf

    POV: PHINAMy ability had always answered when I reached for it. Tonight, it reached first.The silver lotus lay warm against the palm of my hand, its faint, iridescent glow pulsing in time with a slow, invisible rhythm. It felt like a subtle thread tied to the center of my chest, tugging gently toward the frozen darkness beyond my sealed window.It wasn't a voice. It wasn't a message or a vision. It was a pure, unmistakable awareness, a silent resonance humming through the air, as if something operating on the exact same impossible frequency had just moved within range of Highland Crest Manor.I pulled my hand back, letting the pendant drop beneath my heavy collar. My skin still tingled where the metal had rested.In my first life, I had never experienced anything like this. I had treated my rebirth and the spatial storage tied to the lotus as a tool, an unfair advantage to hoard supplies, outmaneuver corporate vultures like Eleanor, and shield myself from the cold. But the recording

  • REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY   Chapter 103: Not The Only One

    POV: PHINAI had spent months believing my rebirth and my ability made me alone in the world. The recording proved I was wrong.“She is not the only one. Locate the others.”The words echoed inside my mind long after Marcus wiped the encrypted cylinder, rendering the titanium beacon into a dead block of silicon. The cold, quiet room was silent now, save for the low, rhythmic hum of the auxiliary server rack.I stood staring at the blank diagnostic screen. In my first life, I died in the white hell of the Great Freeze thinking my suffering was isolated, a tragedy born of Harrison’s betrayal, Vera’s malice, and a world torn apart by an unyielding winter. When I woke up months before the collapse, granted a second chance and an anomalous spatial storage, I assumed I was a singular glitch in the universe. An architect given a solitary advantage to rewrite her fate.I was wrong.Were there others who had opened their eyes in the past, carrying memories of a world that hadn't happened yet?

  • REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY   Chapter 102: The Recording

    POV: ALEXThe device should have been destroyed in the fight. Instead, it kept listening.The small matte-black cylinder sat in the center of the metal briefing table inside the subterranean comms room, its tiny red LED pulsing like a slow, artificial heartbeat. It was scuffed and smeared with dried mud from the lower drainage junction, but the casing was reinforced with military-grade titanium. It hadn't just survived the hand-to-hand fight in the dark, it had actively digitized every sound, every breath, and every frequency emitted within fifty yards of the assassin.Marcus plugged the unit into an isolated diagnostic tablet, bypassing the primary network to prevent any accidental signal leakage."The audio buffer is encrypted with an adaptive rolling cipher," Marcus said quietly, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the green waveform expanding across the tablet screen. "I'm running a local decryption pass now. Giving us playback over the internal speaker."Phina stood near the corner of th

  • REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY   Chapter 101: After The Smoke

    POV: PHINAThe attackers were gone, but the manor no longer felt like a fortress. It felt like a place that had already been marked.Gray dawn broke over the high ridge, casting a cold, pale light across the devastation of Highland Crest Manor. The howling blizzard had finally settled into a slow, rhythmic fall of heavy snow, dusting the pulverized stone of the eastern wall like ash over a grave. Smoke still drifted lazy and black from the blackened ceiling of the north service corridor, carrying the acrid stench of burnt insulation and chemical fire deep into the living quarters.One of our security guards was dead. Three more lay in the sub-basement medical bay under Edwin’s frantic care, their blood staining the emergency surgical cots.Alex spent the first hours of daylight down with the medical team, his face streaked with soot and dried blood, helping carry heavy equipment and securing the lower bulkheads. I left him to his work and walked the compromised perimeter accompanied b

  • REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY   Chapter 100: What They Know

    POV: ALEXI had the man pinned, but the look in his eyes told me the real damage had already been done.His breath came in wet, rattling hitches beneath my forearm. Even with his jaw fractured, his collarbone crushed, and my knee grinding his chest into the freezing concrete, the assassin didn't look like a defeated asset. He looked like a man who had successfully delivered a signal."Get Marcus down here," I growled over my shoulder, not lifting an inch of pressure from his windpipe. "Tell him to bring zip-ties and the heavy medical restraints."Phina stood five feet away, leaning heavily against the damp stone pillar. One arm was wrapped tightly around her midsection, her face ghostly pale in the amber glare of the single emergency strip overhead. A trickle of dark blood had dried beneath her right nostril, and her chest heaved in shallow, agonizing cycles. But her eyes, sharp, dark, and ice-cold, never left the dying man on the floor.Within three minutes, Marcus and two guards spr

  • REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY   Chapter 99: No More Running

    POV: PHINAI had spent months preparing to survive the end of the world. Tonight I was only trying to survive one man.The damp air of the lower drainage junction hung thick and heavy, smelling of ancient wet mortar and ozone. I stopped dead in the center of the four-way intersection, my boots planted firmly in the shallow, freezing stream of water trickling across the stone floor.I couldn't go any deeper. Past the southern archway lay the secondary access vents to Vault Three, where the medical teams and civilian workers were huddled in the dark. If I kept running, I would lead this apex predator straight to their threshold, turning their last refuge into a slaughterhouse.The chase ended here.A shadow detached itself from the narrow archway behind me. The intruder stepped out into the dim, amber glow of the single emergency battery light mounted to the vaulted ceiling. He moved with a horrifying, unhurried grace, his suppressed carbine lowered, his pale eyes gleaming behind his da
