Chapter 124: It Won't Hurt Much

SOPHIA

I gestured to Bullet, who immediately ended the call by crushing the phone under his boot. The plastic and metal crunched satisfyingly, ensuring that Xenois wouldn't be able to call back and potentially hear something that would give away our deception.

"Phase one complete," I announced to the group with satisfaction. "Now for phase two."

Two of Bullet's men stood at opposite sides of Riley as he stood frozen near the tree line, still under the influence of the compulsion spell. They began leading him deeper into the forest toward the rocky path that I'd scouted weeks ago when I was planning this entire scenario.

The cliff wasn't that high – maybe thirty feet or so – but it was more than enough for my purposes. The rocks at the bottom were sharp and the stream that was located there as well would help explain why a body might not be found immediately.

"Come along, sweetheart," I called out to Riley as we walked. "We're almost at our final destin

    Chapter 352 LUMINA"Lake," I said, "can you open a portal to the Silvercrest nest? Based on the photos Xenois showed you?""Yes," Lake said, his hands already beginning to glow. "But Lumina, I've never taken this many people through at once. And I've definitely never taken them into active combat. If I mess up the coordinates, if I drop us in the wrong place—""You won't mess up," I said firmly. "Because Riley is going to guide you. Riley, can you see where we need to land? Where we can arrive without immediately getting killed?"Riley closed his eyes again, his face scrunching with concentration. After a moment, he opened them and pointed to a specific spot in the air, as if he could see through dimensions to our destination."There," he said. "That's a storage room about fifty feet from where the main fighting is happening. It's empty right now, and it gives us access to multiple corridors. We can approach from an angle Jerome's not expecting.""Perfect," I said, then looked at eve

    Chapter 351LUMINAI wanted to argue. Wanted to say that we needed to trust Xenois's judgment, follow orders, stay safe like we'd promised.But I also remembered the video call with Samuel and Silvia. Remembered how they'd used humor and defiance to buy time, to keep their captors off-balance, to give Xenois every possible advantage.They'd been protecting their son in the only way they could from captivity.Maybe it was time we protected our family in the ways only we could."Riley," Lyn said, turning to address the five-year-old who'd been silent throughout this entire exchange. "Can you see what's happening? Can your precognition show you whether the mission is succeeding?"Riley looked uncertain, his eyes darting to me as if asking permission. I wanted to say no. Wanted to protect him from potentially seeing something terrible. But Lyn was right—we needed information."It's okay," I said softly. "If you can see something, if your ability is willing to show you, we need to know."R

    Chapter 350LUMINAThe tension in the house was suffocating. Three hours. Three hours since Xenois and his strike team had left, and we'd heard nothing. No updates, no emergency calls, not even a brief text to confirm they'd reached the staging area.Just silence.I watched Lyn pace across the living room for what had to be the hundredth time, his movements jerky with barely suppressed anxiety. Each pass took him from the window to the door and back again, his hands alternating between running through his hair and clenching into fists at his sides."Lyn," I said gently, "you're going to wear a hole in the floor.""I don't care about the floor," he snapped, then immediately looked apologetic. "Sorry. I'm just—three hours, Lumina. Three hours and nothing. We should have heard something by now. Even if it's just 'we're in position' or 'beginning approach.' This silence is killing me."I couldn't argue with that. The silence was killing all of us.The kids were scattered around the room,

    Chapter 349SILVIA"Samuel," I said slowly. "Do you remember the explosion technique from the territorial wars? The one we swore we'd never use again because it was too dangerous?"His eyes widened. "Silvia, no. That technique nearly killed us last time we used it. And that was when we were in our thirties and at peak physical condition.""Do you have a better idea?" I challenged.He opened his mouth to respond, then closed it again. "No," he admitted. "I really don't.""Then it's explosion technique time," I decided."If we die doing this—" Samuel started."Then we die together," I finished. "After forty-three years of marriage. Honestly, there are worse ways to go.""I can think of several better ways," he muttered, but he was already positioning himself for the technique, his hands moving through the preparatory gestures we'd learned decades ago from a particularly violent alpha who'd taught us his most dangerous tactics.The explosion technique was simple in theory: channel all yo

    Chapter 348SILVIA"Going somewhere?" she asked mockingly."Attempting to," I replied pleasantly. "Though your hospitality has been so wonderful, it's almost a shame to leave.""You're not leaving," she said flatly. "You're going back to your cell, and this time we're using chains you can't pick and guards who aren't idiots.""Improvement is always admirable," I agreed. "Though I have to say, your security has been remarkably poor. Have you considered hiring a consultant? Someone who actually knows how to run a proper prison?"I saw Samuel's shoulders shake slightly—suppressed laughter at my inability to stop antagonizing our captors even when we were clearly at a disadvantage."Last chance," Elena said. "Surrender now, or we hurt you badly enough that escape becomes impossible."I considered our options. We could surrender, go back to the cell, and wait for Xenois to rescue us. Practical, sensible, likely to result in fewer injuries.But also humiliating and completely contrary to e

    Chapter 347SILVIAWe stood in the corridor now, free from our cell but far from safety. Voices still echoed from deeper in the complex—Jerome's coalition still arguing about their failing plan."Which way?" Samuel asked."Away from the arguing," I decided. "Toward what I hope is an exit."We moved down the corridor with what I generously called stealth and what Samuel would probably describe as 'elderly people trying not to make noise and failing.' Every step seemed to echo. Every breath sounded deafening.But we made progress. Past empty cells, past storage rooms, past what looked like some kind of planning area with maps spread across tables."Wait," Samuel said, stopping at the planning room. "We should grab intelligence. Maps, documents, anything that shows what Jerome's coalition was planning.""Samuel, we're escaping," I hissed. "This is not the time for reconnaissance.""This is exactly the time," he countered. "When else are we going to have access to their operational headqu
