Cass's POV

I watched Sage walk toward the door, and I felt a knot tighten in my stomach. This was a bad idea. Bringing this man, Tom, into our plans. A random person showing up out of nowhere, claiming to have information. Coincidentally presenting himself now that we had discovered there were people on the council involved in the smuggling.

It was too convenient. Too perfect.

But Sage was not seeing it from our perspective. She trusted him. She believed him. And no matter what any of us said,

  • Shattered by three, claimed by none   chapter 45: Advanced Virus, fight it quickly

    Sage's POVThe dark energy poured from my body in waves, black tendrils lashing out like whips. I aimed at the infected woman and released a burst of shadow that slammed into her side and flung her across the room. She crashed into a stack of toys and fell to the ground, tangled in the wreckage."Go!" I shouted at Milo. " Leave immediately"Milo ran. I turned to Clara. She was lying on the floor, her uniform torn, her arms covered in scratches and bruises. Blood seeped from a gash on her forehead, and her breathing was shallow and labored. She looked seriously injured, but she was still conscious. Before I could kneel beside her, the infected woman was already back on her feet. She moved faster than she should have, her body propelled by whatever dark force had taken control of her. She ran at me with her arms outstretched, her mouth open, her teeth bared.I raised my hands and summoned my dark energy again. The shadows wrapped around her like ropes, holding her in place just a few

  • Shattered by three, claimed by none   chapter 44: unsure of herself

    Sage's POVSome hours later.The meeting was over. Tom had given us a detailed plan. And I discovered gym room on the first floor. It was empty at this hour, the equipment unused, the windows letting in the last light of the setting sun.I sat on a bench near the wall and stared at the punching bag in the corner. My mind was not on exercise. It was on the opportunity to catch the smugglers in the act. It sounded like the break we had been waiting for.But something else was nagging at me. A small voice in the back of my head that would not shut up.The men could be right.I hated admitting that. I hated the thought of agreeing with Kael, Vex, or Cass about anything. But the questions they had raised kept circling back. I haven't seen him for a year, not had any contact with him since we separated.What had he been doing in this community for two months? He said he had been tracking the smugglers, gathering evidence, waiting for the right moment. But two months was a long time. Long

Too perfect.But Sage was not seeing it from our perspective. She trusted him. She believed him. And no matter what any of us said, she was not going to change her mind. That was clear from the way she had snapped at us, from the fire in her eyes, from the sharpness in her voice.So we would adapt.We would keep an eye on this Tom. Watch his every move. And if he slipped, if he showed even a hint of betrayal, we would be ready.And we would protect Milo. And no matter what Sage thought of us, no matter how low her opinion of us was, we would never let anyone hurt that girl.I looked at Kael, then at Vex. They met my eyes, a

  • Shattered by three, claimed by none   chapter 42: Who knows him

    Sage's POVI walked to the door and opened it. Vex stood in the hallway, his dark eyes scanning the room behind me before settling on my face."What do you want?" I asked.Vex crossed his arms. "I thought I saw you with someone. I was not sure. I came to see if you were in some kind of trouble. Or difficulty."I shook my head. "No. The person left already." I paused, then added, "How did you know I was with someone? I did not see you when I was outside."Vex's expression did not change. "The truth is that Kael called me. He told me you were with someone. He sounded... concerned." He looked past me again, as if expecting to see someone still hiding in the room. "Do you know this person?"I felt a flicker of irritation. "This is not the time for that. Can we continue this talk tomorrow? It has been a long day."Vex's eyes searched my face. "Is everything alright? The way Kael spoke to me made me feel like something was off.""Everything is fine," I said. "There is nothing to worry about.

    Sage's POVI was taken aback by his question. "What is that supposed to mean?"Kael looked at Tom, then back at me. His expression was giving suspicion towards Tom."Can we continue this conversation tomorrow?" he asked. "Everyone is already exhausted from today. It has been a long day for all of us."I stared at him. He was dismissing us.. after hearing what i just said? I was expecting something way better than that."I... sure," I said, stammering slightly. "Tomorrow then."Kael gave me a dull smile. It did not reach his eyes. Then he stepped back and closed the door.I stood there for a moment, staring at the door. Then I turned to look at Tom. His face was surprised, his eyebrows raised, his mouth slightly open."You didn't mention that one of the men was the Alpha King," Tom said, keeping his voice low. "From the same territory you ran from. The same one where you were not accepted."I grabbed his arm and pulled him away from Kael's door. "It is a long story. Come on."We walked

  • Shattered by three, claimed by none   chapter 40 : an old colleague

    Sage's POVClara led me down the hallway to the private meeting rooms. The walls were lined with the same dark wood as the rest of the hotel, and the floors were covered in thick carpets that muffled our footsteps. She stopped in front of a door near the end of the corridor."He is inside," Clara said. "I have to leave to attend to other thing."I thanked her, and she walked away. I took a breath, turned the handle, and pushed the door open.The room was small but comfortable. A table in the center, a few chairs around it, and a window that looked out onto the darkening courtyard. There was a man inside, standing with his back to me. His shoulders were broad, and his posture was familiar in a way that made my chest tighten."You were asking for me," I said. "Do I know you?"The man turned around slowly, and a smile spread across his face. It was a cheesy smile. "You cannot even recognize me anymore? I am hurt, Sage. Truly hurt."I saw his face, and I was stunned.Tom. It was Tom.I ha
