The Gate wasn't hasty. It was calculating, always.

First, the seams would widen—not tear open violently, but gently flex, almost as if made with careful cuts in thin air. Space itself seemed to peel back, layer by careful layer. It showed glimpses of shifting corridors made of both light and deep shadow, bending distance and direction in ways that made no sense. Each corridor emitted a distinct hum, a different frequency that vibrated uncomfortably in my teeth.

Aurek shifted. I felt his awakening power pulse outwards, like heat radiating off a blacksmith's forge—unsteady, fierce, barely held in check.

"Spread out," he snapped. Don't let them corner us.

But we were already too late.

The first wave emerged from the Gate's depths.

What made them so awful wasn't their power, but their variety. Each machine was distinct, modified on the fly. One scuttled low to the floor on insect-like legs, its forearms tipped with blades of pure light. Another floated, its midsection split into spinning

  • The Alpha King's Shadow   Chapter 101

    The second the system called his name, the floor dropped out from under the world. Aurek could feel it, like the chilling bite of a hunter's snare sinking deep into his soul, waiting with an eternity's patience. The void, that empty expanse, zeroed in on him, and it began to spin threads of gravity and light, probing, measuring, tinkering, and calibrating him for some dark purpose.Anchor candidate confirmed. The words echoed, cold and final.No! Selene's voice slashed through the silence. She whipped around, facing the core with fury in her eyes. Re-evaluate! You're seeing things that aren't there. It's a mistake!But the system was silent, a machine unmoved by passion or pleas.The pressure around Aurek intensified, building with a frightening speed. He planted his feet, bracing himself against the invisible force. The very stone floor beneath him groaned, as if it felt the weight of the moment, the question of its very reason for existing."Don't," Aurek said to Selene, his eyes lo

  • The Alpha King's Shadow   Chapter 100

    The room wasn't collapsing as much as it was falling apart somehow.Aurek noticed something was wrong, not with a bang or a shake, or anything that could be seen or heard. It was a feeling of something being gone. Like some hold that was keeping him still disappeared all at once. All that weight he'd been carrying—it had shaped every move and breath he took. Now, it was suddenly gone. His foot stomped harder as he took the next step, cracking the floor under his boot.The Gate was screaming.Maybe not out loud, but he could feel it in his bones.The walls were like a tangled mess, and light burst through them in sharp lines. The signs on the walls broke apart and fell like bugs dying. The air sucked in, and gravity was messed up, like the world was trying to choose which way was down.Selene.The thought hit him like a punch.He ran as fast as he could through the falling-apart room. Power snapped around him, burning his skin and tearing his clothes, but he didn't stop. The power surg

    Selene does not fall. She is translated. The corridor pulls her apart into vectors: memory, intent, blood, fear. Each one stretches into luminous threads that buzz with quiet violence. There is no pain. That terrifies her. Pain would imply resistance. Instead, there is understanding. She lands standing, not on stone, but on structure. The space around her is a complex grid of planes intersecting at angles her eyes cannot follow. Light flows through it like rivers trapped in glass, branching, looping, converging. Symbols drift everywhere, not carved or written but computed. They rearrange the moment she tries to focus, as if responding to her gaze. This is not a room. It is a mind. The Gate’s core hums beneath her feet, a low vibration that matches her heartbeat disturbingly well. Each pulse sends a ripple through the lattice, adjusting parameters and recalculating. "Interface confirmed," a voice says. It is not sound; it is placement inserted directly into her thoughts. Selene stea

    The Gate didn't explode; it did something far stranger.It changed.Imagine a spiderweb, not breaking, but tightening, pulling in on itself. That’s what the Gate did. The glowing rings on the outside, once bright and wild, dimmed. All that light flowed inward, like water down a drain, until it formed a tight, spinning core. This core hung in the air above us, a swirling vortex of pure energy, like a tear in the fabric of reality itself.Then came the silence.But it wasn’t a normal silence. It felt heavy, like something was holding back the sound, pressing down on us.Aurek was the first to move. A snarl, more animal than human, twisted his face. The strange, golden energy he could control flared to life under his skin, making patterns like white-hot brands all over his arms. Without a second thought, he stepped in front of Selene, putting his body between her and whatever was about to happen."Everyone behind me," he ordered, his voice rough.Lysera, usually quick to argue, didn't.

  • The Alpha King's Shadow   Chapter 96

    Agony morphs into a building. Forget feeling; this is about what's real—hard walls, sharp edges, and pressure from above. The Gate? It doesn't sting anymore. It's folded the bad stuff inside, into the very thing that holds me here. My nerves are like wires now, and every breath? Just another calculation in a long series. I'm stuck right in the middle of what's left of this crazy structure.Not tied down. Nah. More like part of the machine.It's a chilling thought—colder than any fear I've ever known.The Gate... it doesn't look at me like I'm a person anymore. I'm just a glitch, a problem it can't fix. No matter how many times I try the math, I keep getting the answer wrong.I'm a mistake that won't go away.I laugh, and my mouth fills with blood.Delightful."Should've finished me off quicker," I cough out.The structure squeezes tighter, light grinding against light, trying to force me into something simple—something that listens, something that dies.It doesn't work.My blood... it rememb
