I dove behind the nearest medical bed, hauling Angela and Adam with me as bullets tore through the air where we'd been standing. The rounds weren't normal ammunition—they punched through reinforced medical equipment like it was paper, leaving smoking holes that stank of ozone and burned metal.

"Silver-core rounds," Ruth called from behind her overturned desk. "Designed to disrupt supernatural healing."

Great. Because regular bullets weren't challenging enough.

"Stay down," I told Angela, who was still writhing in pain from whatever Adam's abilities were doing to her. "Keep him quiet if you can."

"I'm trying," she gasped. "It's like he's screaming directly into my brain."

Adam wasn't actually screaming—at least not audibly. But I could feel it too now, a high-pitched mental shriek that felt like feedback from a broken amplifier. The kid was scared, overstimulated, and his developing telepathic abilities were broadcasting that fear to anyone with even minimal silver integration.

    The quarry appeared suddenly—a gaping wound in the mountainside, abandoned equipment scattered like discarded toys around its perimeter. I killed the headlights as we approached, relying on moonlight and enhanced vision to navigate the rough terrain."There," Silas pointed to a narrow gap between two massive boulders. "We can wedge the SUV in there. Make it harder for them to follow our trail."I maneuvered the vehicle into the tight space, wincing at the screech of metal against stone. Not exactly stealthy, but it would have to do."Grab everything useful," I instructed, already reaching for Adam and the small pack of supplies we'd gathered. "Water, weapons, first aid kit."Silas moved with careful precision, each action deliberate to minimize the pain from his injury. I pretended not to notice the way he braced himself against the door, the brief moment he closed his eyes as though gathering strength. Acknowledging it would only make him more determined to push through, to prove he

    When we broke apart, Adam made that soft sound again, and I swear the kid was trying to say something important. His tiny hand pressed against my cheek, and I caught a flash of something—not quite an image, but a feeling. Determination. Clarity. Purpose."Be careful," Silas said, already backing away. "Stay downwind, keep him quiet.""I know how to hide," I reminded him.His smile was tight but genuine. "Never doubted it."Then he was gone, moving through the forest with preternatural silence, heading toward the tower that might or might not be occupied by people who wanted to dissect us for science.I waited until he was out of sight, then turned and headed in the opposite direction, keeping low and using the growing darkness as cover. Adam was a warm weight against my chest, his breathing surprisingly even for a baby in the middle of a life-or-death situation."You're being very cooperative," I whispered to him. "Keep it up, kid."The descent was even harder than the climb, loose st

    The plan was fucking insane.That was my first thought as we ditched the initial rendezvous point and split from Williams' convoy, taking a sharp turn onto a winding forest road that didn't appear on any GPS.My second thought was that it might actually work."You're sure about this?" Silas asked for the third time in twenty minutes, knuckles white on the steering wheel as we navigated the increasingly treacherous mountain path."No," I admitted. "I'm not sure about anything except that if we keep running, they'll keep finding us."Adam had fallen asleep in his makeshift car seat, his breathing slow and even despite the jarring bumps of the unpaved road. The silver lines beneath his skin pulsed in rhythm with his tiny heartbeat, glowing softly in the dim interior of the SUV. In sleep, he looked almost normal—just a baby, innocent and vulnerable. But I knew better. The kid had been broadcasting distress signals like a psychic radio tower earlier. Whatever was developing in that tiny sk

    Angela's room was chaos when we arrived. The baby was indeed crying inconsolably—not normal infant fussing, but the kind of distressed wailing that set every protective instinct on high alert. Angela looked frantic, rocking him while tears streamed down her face."I can't get him to stop," she said as soon as she saw us. "He's been like this for twenty minutes. I've tried feeding him, changing him, everything I can think of."I moved to her side, studying Adam's red, scrunched face. The silver lines under his skin were flaring erratically, much brighter than they should be for an infant his age. More concerning, I could feel his distress through whatever telepathic connection we shared—not just emotional pain, but something that felt almost like... interference?"Give him to me," I said, extending my arms.Angela hesitated for a moment, maternal instinct warring with desperate need for help, then passed him over. The moment Adam was in my arms, his crying softened slightly, though he

    I woke to the sound of rain against windows and the smell of coffee. For a disorienting moment, I couldn't remember where I was—the bed was too comfortable, the room too quiet, the absence of immediate crisis too strange. Then I felt Silas shift beside me, his arm tightening around my waist, and memory flooded back.Safe house. Coalition protection. Adam and Angela in the room down the hall. Carter's forces regrouping for another attempt."How long?" I asked, voice rough with sleep."Four hours," Silas replied, not opening his eyes. "Still have time."Four hours felt like both forever and no time at all. Long enough for my body to start recovering from the sustained crisis mode I'd been operating in, but nowhere near enough to feel fully human again. The silver lines under my skin were steadier now, less erratic, responding to rest and safety in ways I was still learning to understand."Coffee?" Silas offered, pressing a kiss to my temple."Please."He slipped out of bed, completely u

    "I know," he said gently. "You don't have to say it back. I just need you to know it's true."But the thing was, I did want to say it back. The words were right there, sitting heavy on my tongue, waiting for me to be brave enough to let them out. I loved him. Had probably loved him for months, maybe longer, maybe since the moment he'd shown up in that corporate office in New York and turned my carefully constructed new life upside down.I was just too much of a coward to say it.Instead, I turned in his arms, careful not to aggravate the wound he'd just bandaged, and kissed him. Not gentle, not tentative, but with all the desperation and relief and unnamed emotion churning inside me. He melted into the contact immediately, hands sliding up my bare back to tangle in my hair."Stella," he breathed against my mouth."Don't talk," I said, already working at the buttons of his shirt. "Just... don't talk."His shirt hit the floor, followed quickly by the rest of our clothes. There was nothi
