The safehouse was quiet, almost eerily so. Outside, the city buzzed faintly in the distance, a muted reminder of the chaos they had left behind at the warehouse. Alina sat at the small table in the corner, the newly recovered USB drive clutched tightly in her hands. Its weight felt heavier than she expected, as if it carried not just data, but the future of everything she and Nathan had fought for.

Nathan leaned against the wall, arms crossed, eyes dark and unblinking as he surveyed the room. H

  • Shattered promises   THE BLOOD THAT BINDS

    The room felt like it was breathing.In.Out.In.Out.Alina stood between Elias and Nathan, her pulse pounding so loudly she could barely hear her own thoughts. The seal inside her chest burned—no longer a quiet hum, no longer a distant tremor.It was alive.And it was listening.“Choose,” Elias said softly.Nathan stepped closer, ignoring the warning tension crackling in the air. “You don’t have to do this. We’ll find another way.”Another way.Alina almost laughed.There had never been another way.The shadows along the walls began to twist unnaturally, stretching toward her feet like reaching fingers. The air turned sharp and metallic. Her skin prickled as power rippled beneath it.“I need answers,” she whispered.Nathan’s jaw tightened. “Not from him.”Elias’s smile sharpened. “You see? Even now he tries to shield you from the truth.”Alina turned to Nathan. “What truth?”He hesitated.That was all it took.The seal pulsed violently.Her breath hitched. “You knew.”Nathan didn’t

  • Shattered promises   THE PRICE OF REVELATION

    Alina woke to silence.Absolute silence.The kind that made her skin crawl. She blinked against the harsh, white light overhead. Her head throbbed, pounding in time with her heartbeat.The room was unfamiliar. Sterile, but not like the last one. This place smelled of stone and cold metal, mixed with faint traces of smoke—like a fire had been put out just moments ago.Her arms and legs were free. She tested her body cautiously. Nothing felt restrained. Yet… something wasn’t right.A shadow flickered at the far end of the room.Alina squinted. Slowly, the figure stepped into the light.It was Elias.“Good, you’re awake,” he said smoothly, voice calm but with a razor’s edge that cut straight into her chest.“Where… where am I?” she croaked, her voice barely a whisper. Her hands trembled.He didn’t answer immediately. He walked closer, slow, measured, his eyes locked onto hers like a predator studying prey.“This is a safe place… for now,” he said. “Though not entirely yours.”Alina’s sto

  • Shattered promises   THE WOLVES IN THE WALL

    The night felt too quiet.Too still.As if the world itself was holding its breath, waiting for something to break.Alina felt it first—not with her ears, not with her eyes, but with that strange, pulsing awareness deep in her chest. The same one that ignited when her powers surged. The same one that warned her in moments she couldn’t explain.A cold ripple slid down her spine.Something was coming.Nathan must have felt it too. His hand tightened over hers, steady but rigid, like he was preparing for a storm only he could see forming.“Don’t leave my side,” he said quietly.He wasn’t demanding.He was terrified.And that scared Alina more than anything.They were returning to the estate, the long hallway stretching ahead of them like the throat of some waiting beast. Guards flanked the walls, alert. The silence was suffocating—until, suddenly…A light flickered.Once.Twice.Then died.The corridor plunged into darkness.“Stay behind me,” Nathan growled, pulling her slightly back.Bu

  • Shattered promises   THE GIRL WHO BREAKS THE WORLD

    The scream didn’t stop.It ripped out of her like something alive—raw, ancient, and filled with a rage that wasn’t hers. The room shook. The air vibrated. Metal groaned under an invisible pressure that made the lights flicker and burst one by one.“Alina!”Aarin rushed toward her, but a force—like a shockwave—threw him back into the wall.His body slammed against metal with a brutal crack.“Don’t touch her!” Darian barked, shielding his face from the violent energy spiraling out of her. “She’s crossing the first threshold—if you interrupt it, she’ll tear herself apart!”Aarin pushed himself up, blood running down his forehead, eyes blazing.“I don’t care!”He lunged again—Another shockwave blasted out of Alina’s body, hurling him across the room a second time. He hit the floor hard, coughing, but still reached out in her direction, dragging himself over broken glass.“Alina—fight it,” he groaned. “You have to fight it.”But she couldn’t hear him.She wasn’t even fully in her body any

  • Shattered promises   THE SEAL BEGINS TO WAKE

    The world was black.No sound. No light. No air.Just a hollow, suffocating weight pressing against her chest, her skin, her soul.Her breath felt shallow, like she was drowning without water. Struggling to breathe. Struggling to move.She tried to scream, but no sound came.Tried to fight, but her limbs refused to obey.It felt like hours. Maybe days.Then—A voice.A whisper in her mind. Cold, ancient, and filled with authority.“You can’t escape.”Alina jolted awake.Her hands shot out, instinctively grabbing at the edges of the cold metal surface beneath her. Her body jerked forward, heart racing, head spinning.Where was she?Everything was too still. Too silent.The air smelled sterile. Clinical. A heavy metallic scent that reminded her of blood.The room was dark, but she could see faint shadows moving through the edges of her vision. Figures—people—moving around her. She tried to lift her head, but it felt like it weighed a hundred pounds.Then, the door creaked open.A silhou

  • Shattered promises   Continuing….

    The world became a blur of cold air, shattered glass, and Aarin’s arm locked around her waist.They didn’t fall far—only one story—but the impact still knocked the breath from her lungs as they hit the ground hard and rolled into the bushes.Aarin didn’t stop moving.“Get up,” he rasped, pulling her to her feet. “We have seconds before they—”A sharp whistle cut through the night.A thin metal dart embedded itself in the dirt inches from her foot, still vibrating.Her pulse spiked.“Aarin—”He yanked her behind the building, chest heaving.“They’re tranquilizers,” he said. “Designed for things stronger than humans. Don’t let it touch your skin.”Her stomach dropped.“Things?” she echoed.“Aarin… what ARE you?”He didn’t answer.He was listening.Every muscle in his body coiled tight, his head tilting in a way that wasn’t human at all—as if he could hear the Hunters’ movements from far away.“Three above us,” he whispered.“Four circling from the north.”He closed his eyes.“One more…
