The droplet hit the obsidian floorboards beneath my throne and melted instantly into the silver-mercury wiring. It wasn't just saltwater and grief; it was a microscopic transmission of a mother's pride. It bypassed the servers, grounding itself deep within the bedrock where Kael's digital soul hummed.

Down in the loading bay, the kneeling crowd of starving, diseased scavengers kept their hollow eyes locked on the frosted concrete. An eleven-year-old boy stood before them, his right arm hanging

  • Replaced by His First Love   Chapter 373 The Wrong Leo

    Serena spoke with my son's voice.For one second, the extraction chamber disappeared.There was no cannon light. No black geometry beyond the torn sky. No High Elder Valerius watching me as if I were a specimen he had finally managed to pin through the heart.There was only that voice."Pack your bags, Mommy."Soft. Bright. Wicked in the way Leo had been wicked when he was five, when he had stolen strawberries from a bowl and thought flour on his nose made him invisible.My body reached before my mind could stop it.Both hands strained toward Serena's projection, toward the hollow chest where my son's stolen phrase had landed. The beam punished the movement at once. White light tightened around my wrists. The Mercury Lines under my skin went from burning to freezing, and pain shot up my arms so sharply my fingers curled.I did not care."Give it back."Serena's projection floated inside the left side of the beam.

  • Replaced by His First Love   Chapter 372 The Light That Had Teeth

    The cannon light did not burn.That was the first wrong thing.Fire would have been honest. Heat, smoke, skin blistering off bone; those were things a body could understand. The Null-Canon gave me none of that. It took the air out of my lungs, the weight out of my blood, and the direction out of the world, then pulled me upward through the place where the basement ceiling used to be.My fingers clawed at nothing.For one stupid, human second, I tried to grab the terminal.Not the Root. Not the Mercury Lines. Not the hidden architecture of Rebirth City.The terminal.The old mechanical keys with blood drying in the cracks. The cracked glass corner where Silas had once slammed his fist and sworn it could survive a direct overload. The ugly little machine that smelled like hot plastic, old dust, and the cheap soap the basement girls used when there was enough water pressure to pretend they were still people.My nails scraped throu

  • Replaced by His First Love   Chapter 371 The Prisoner of Protocol

    FIFTY-EIGHT SECONDS.The basement floor didn't just vibrate; it shrieked. A high-frequency howl tore through the limestone, rattling my molars and making the glass of the monitor screens ripple like water. I lunged for the terminal, my boots skidding on a layer of frost that shouldn't have been there. In the gaps of the foundation above, the sky of Rebirth City had finished its rot, turning from a synthetic blue to a flat, light-eating black."Silas, get up!"He didn't move. He was a heap of iron and scarred muscle on the floor, his fingers digging into his scalp so hard his knuckles had turned white. His cybernetic eye whirred—a frantic, mechanical clicking—but the iris was gone, replaced by a flickering grey 'loading' icon. The system was formatting him in real-time, scrubbing the Guardian clean of the woman he’d spent months protecting."Who..." He coughed, and the sound was wet, like gravel in a blender. "Target... target identified.

  • Replaced by His First Love   Chapter 370 The Unholy Alliance

    My fingers lock into a jagged ridge of granite that shouldn't be here, anchoring us to the only sliver of the ceiling that hasn't turned into white static.The girl’s weight drags at my shoulder, her scream swallowed by the white noise of the churning throat of gray pixels below. Gravity is glitching, the air tasting like scorched copper as the first Null-Drone recalibrates its weapons for a second pulse.I heave us onto a narrow lip of rendered stone. The strength doesn't feel like mine. It's a surge of foreign current, a jagged lightning bolt shooting through a dying wire.Above us, the three drones hover. Their optic lenses cycle through shades of confused amber, sweeping the area for the anomaly that just absorbed a formatting pulse and lived.I am that anomaly.I press my palms flat against the stone, needing the bite of nineteen-degree granite to prove I am still physical. My chest doesn't heave; it grinds. It feels as if my ribs have b

  • Replaced by His First Love   Chapter 369 The Guilt

    The white light from the drone’s discharge shears the air an inch above my ear, the heat singeing the frayed threads of my hood. I don’t flinch. My fingers are already buried past the knuckles in the terminal’s glass, the interface yielding like thick, electrified honey as I submerge my consciousness into the city’s Root layer."Move, Silas!" I bark.Silas is a blur of frayed iron and sparking steel. He slams into a support beam, using the momentum to swing upward, his heavy blade grinding through the lead drone’s ceramic casing with a screech that vibrates through my teeth. The machine sputters, trailing black pixels as it hits the floor."Terminal’s live," Silas grunts, his voice a gravelly rasp. He pivots, his cybernetic eye flickering between a dull gray and a frantic, dying amber. "Aria—tell me. Why are we in the dark? Did the Alpha... did Kael send these?"I don’t answer. I don’t have the breath

  • Replaced by His First Love   Chapter 9: "You Are Dead"

    Shattered glass and amber liquid littered the floor. Kael didn’t notice. His entire world had narrowed to me. Chest heaving, eyes wide, he took a trembling step forward, disbelief and madness warring across his face.“ARIA!”He lunged, moving with the desperation of a drowning Alpha, vaulting over

  • Replaced by His First Love   Chapter 11: The Balcony Confession

    The night air bit at Phoenix’s exposed skin, a sharp mercy after the suffocating heat of the ballroom. She gripped the stone railing, knuckles white, the scar beneath her shoulder still tingling from Kael’s touch earlier. He had felt it. The lightning-shaped mark—the price she had paid for his life

    1.5 meters.That was the distance between a heartbeat and a stone grave.The chain yanked again, and this time, the mountain wasn’t just pulling; it was sentencing. The Shared Heat—that jagged needle of ice—ripped through my ribs, a cold, structural execution that m

    The blackout lifted, and the first thing I saw was my own signature staring back at me like a noose I’d tied myself.I retched. My nose was so clogged with ash I wanted to vomit. I leaned over, my right hand clawing at the quartz floor, my lungs fighting for air that tasted of scorched sil
