Chapter 30: I Will Sacrifice Riley For My Future

SOPHIA

The silence in the apartment was loud after Riley had been locked in his room for the past three hours.

I sat on the couch, staring at my phone, my mind running amok with possibilities and frustrations as I was both satisfied and upset with today's event.

Xenois had seen Lumina's true nature like I wanted him to see, but he'd also rejected my advances towards him which made things worse.

I needed to hasten up my plans and fast.

I opened my contact list and scrolled through it until I found the number I was looking for.

Andy had been very clear that I should only call in emergencies, but this qualified as an emergency as well.

If I was going to win Xenois over completely and ruin his mate's life in the process, I needed every advantage I could get.

The phone rang three times before a high pitched voice answered.

"Sophia. I told you not to call unless it was urgent."

"It is urgent," I said, as I walked towards the window that o

They'd been waiting, watching us breach the empty structure, timing their assault for maximum effectiveness."Contact!" I shouted, opening fire. "Multiple hostiles, ambush pattern!"My team responded instantly, forming defensive positions and returning fire. But we were caught in the open, halfway between the compromised warehouse and actual cover, exactly where any competent tactical planner would want their enemies.Jerome was proving to be a very competent tactical planner."Alpha Command, Delta Team under heavy assault!" I reported between bursts of gunfire. "Ambush force, estimated twenty plus combatants, requesting immediate support!""All teams reporting similar attacks," Xenois responded, his voice tight. "This is a coordinated counteroffensive. We walked into a trap. All teams fall back to rally points, regroup and—"Static cut off

    Chapter 428THORNEI crouched in the darkness behind an abandoned warehouse on the eastern edge of Jerome's primary operational territory, watching my strike team make final equipment checks, and tried to ignore the crawling sensation between my shoulder blades that suggested something was about to go catastrophically wrong."Comms check," I whispered into my radio. "All teams report in."The responses came in sequence—Alpha Team positioned at the northern compound, Beta securing the western safe house, Gamma ready to breach the southern supply cache. Twelve separate strike forces spread across four territories, all waiting for my signal to attack simultaneously.It was the largest coordinated offensive operation our coalition had ever attempted. And it was about to kick off in approximately three minutes."We're really doing this," Marcus said beside me, his enhanced hearing probably picking up movement inside the warehouse that my normal senses couldn't detect yet. "Actually declari

    Chapter 427XENOIS"We're going to figure this out," I said firmly. "All of us together. We'll research, we'll plan, we'll find a way to satisfy Janice's debt without losing Lumina. And if we can't find a way—" I met Shawn's eyes, "—then we fight. Cosmic entity or not, she wants to take our family member, she's going to face resistance.""That could trigger the timeline reset," Thorne warned from his position by the door."Then we make sure our resistance is measured enough not to cross that line," I said. "We defend without attacking. We protect without threatening. We show Janice that taking Lumina comes with complications she might not have anticipated.""That's a very thin line to walk," my father observed."We're Blackwoods," my mother said. "We specialize in walking thin lines. It's practically our family motto.""I thought our family motto was 'tactical innovation through controlled chaos,'" Riley said, his tears stopping as he engaged with the practical discussion."That's th

    Chapter 426XENOIS"I got you killed in another timeline," Riley said flatly."No, Sophia got him killed," I corrected. "And me. And Lumina. We all failed in that timeline because we were being manipulated by someone who'd spent years perfecting her control techniques. But this isn't that timeline, Riley. This is the one where we got it right.""Because Mom died and came back knowing what to look for," Riley said."Because someone gave me a second chance," Lumina agreed. "And that brings us to the part of this conversation you really need to understand."She explained about Janice—the necromancer who'd sent her back, the promise she'd made and broken, the debt that was now coming due. I watched our children's faces as they processed increasingly impossible information.Lake looked confused but accepting—he dealt with dimensional portals daily, so time manipulation probably didn't seem that far-fetched. Ollie seemed scared but trying to be brave. Riley's expression was calculating, his

    Chapter 425XENOISI stood in our family room the next morning, watching my children settle into various seats, and wondered how exactly one explained cosmic debts and alternate timelines to a five-year-old.Riley, Lake, and Ollie occupied the couch together, that unconscious closeness they'd developed since the facility rescue making them gravitate toward each other during stressful situations. Shawn sat in an armchair, his seventeen-year-old face already showing concern—he'd picked up that something significant was about to be discussed.Lumina was beside me, her hand in mine, both of us drawing strength from the contact. My parents stood near the window, having insisted on being present for this conversation. Thorne positioned himself by the door, his second-in-command instincts making him want clear exit routes even in our own home."Thank you all for coming," I started, then immediately felt ridiculous. Like this was a business meeting instead of a family conversation about impos

    Chapter 424LUMINA"I'll help," Lynn offered immediately. "I have contacts in magical communities who might know about entities like Janice. If she's old enough to manipulate time, someone has to have encountered her before.""And I'll coordinate with other healers," Lyn added. "See if anyone has medical knowledge about preventing or reversing cardiac events triggered by supernatural forces. The heart attack was a warning. Maybe if we understand the mechanism, we can find a way to protect Lumina when Janice comes to collect."I watched them mobilize, watched these people who'd become family refuse to accept what I'd already resigned myself to, and felt something warm bloom in my chest alongside the fear."Thank you," I said quietly. "All of you. For not just—for not accepting this. For fighting even when I've already given up.""We don't give up on family," Zade said firmly. "That's not how this works. You gave yourself a second chance and used it to save everyone around you. Now it's
