The euphoria of the gala vanished before the Maybach even cleared the underground garage of the Vane Tower. The text message from Lorenzo Moretti sat on Sabizina’s screen like a digital venom, turning her blood to icee.

See you at the delivery, Sabizina.

Rage felt the shift in her immediately. The man was a human lie detector, a master of micro-expressions, and right now, he was reading a level of terror in Sabizina that she hadn't shown even when the assassins were in the vents.

    The submersible surfaced like a silent leviathan in the shadows of a derelict pier near the mouth of the Davao River. The air that hit Sabizina as the hatch hissed open was a physical wall—thick with the scent of brackish water, overripe durian, and the charcoal smoke from a thousand street-side grills.Above them, the sky was no longer just a tropical night. It was an electronic battlefield. Six high-altitude "Legion" transport planes circled the city like vultures, their red wing-lights blinking in a rhythmic, predatory codee."They’re running a wide-spectrum biometric sweep," Sabizina whispered, her eyes glued to the obsidian-black "Genesis" drive. "If we move through the main roads, their AI will flag the infants' unique heart-rate signatures in seconds."Rage stepped onto the slick, rotting wood of the pier, the twin pods strapped to his chest in a tactical harness. He looked like a shadow carved from stone. "Then we don't use the roads. We use the veins of the city. Marcus, take

  • The Alpha’s Runaway Prize: Bound by the Billionaire’s Blood   CHAPTER NINETEEN: THE MATRIARCH’S SHADOW

    The submersible sliced through the deep, silent currents of the Davao Gulf, leaving the smoking ruins of Sasa far behind. Inside the medical bay, the air was thick with the smell of antiseptic and the low, rhythmic hum of life-support systems.Rage lay in the center berth, his chest rising and falling with a shallow, ragged effort. His skin was pale, mapped with the faint, fading traces of the black veins that had surged when Valerius tried to claim his mind. Sabizina sat beside him, her fingers interlaced with his, her thumb tracing the knuckles of the man who had just invited a monster into his head to save twelve strangerss."Sabi..." Rage’s voice was a dry rasp, barely audible over the hum of the turbines."I’m here, Rage. I’m right here," she whispered, leaning closer.His eyes flickered open. They were silver again—clear, sharp, and filled with a haunted intelligence. The violet light of the Architect was gone, but the weight in his gaze told her that the memories he had inherit

  • The Alpha’s Runaway Prize: Bound by the Billionaire’s Blood   CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: THE SASA STALEMATE

    The Sasa District of Davao City was a labyrinth of towering shipping containers, rusted iron warehouses, and the constant, rhythmic clanking of heavy machinery. Usually, the midnight air was filled with the scent of diesel and the sea, but tonight, there was a sharp, metallic tang in the breeze—the smell of high-voltage ozonee.A fleet of black SUVs tore through the narrow streets, bypassing the local traffic with a terrifying, synchronized speed. Inside the lead vehicle, Sabizina sat with her laptop strapped to her knees, her eyes reflecting a waterfall of scrolling red code. Beside her, the twin pods hummed, a reminder of everything she was fighting to keep."They’ve reached the Moretti Global Logistics hub," Marcus reported, his hand white-knuckled on the steering wheel. "Isabella’s transport is already inside. They’ve dropped the localized EMP curtains. My drones are blind, Sabi.""Then we go in blind," Sabizina hissed, her voice sounding like a sharpened blade. "Celia, stay with

  • The Alpha’s Runaway Prize: Bound by the Billionaire’s Blood   CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: THE SAMAL SURGE

    The darkness in the subterranean lab was absolute for exactly three seconds—the time it took for the emergency backup generators to cough into life. But three seconds was an eternity for a man with Hyperthymesiaa.Rage didn't need light to find his target. He had mapped the room's geometry into his permanent memory the moment he stepped out of the elevator.As the dim red auxiliary lights flickered on, Isabella Moretti was already moving toward the primary console, her hand reaching for a manual override lever. She never reached it. Rage lunged through the shadows, his hand closing around her throat with the cold precision of a hydraulic press.He slammed her against a server rack, the metal groaning under the impact."The encryption keys, Isabella," Rage hissed, his silver eyes glowing like hot embers in the red light. "Give me the keys to the children’s neural locks, or I’ll let Sabizina finish what she started with the power grid. I’ll let the surge fry every processor in this room

  • The Alpha’s Runaway Prize: Bound by the Billionaire’s Blood   CHAPTER SIXTEEN: THE DAVAO CONNECTION

    The interior of the cabin, once a symbol of rustic peace, now felt like a high-tension interrogation room. The girl, Celia, sat by the hearth, her small hands wrapped around a mug of hot cocoa that Sabizina had prepared. She looked fragile, but her silver eyes—the unmistakable Vane trademark—held a thousand-yard stare that no ten-year-old should possesss.Rage stood by the window, his silhouette dark against the falling snow. He hadn’t put his rifle down. He was staring at the girl as if she were a ghost he couldn't quite exorcise."You said we have the same father," Rage said, his voice dropping to a dangerous, low frequency. "Valerius Vane has been 'dead' to the world for twenty years. Where have you been kept, Celia?"The girl looked up, a faint, bitter smile touching her lips. "I wasn't kept in a tower, Rage. I was kept in a lab. In a place where the sun stays hot and the humidity melts the skin off your bones. They called it 'The Garden'. It’s hidden in the Samal District, just

  • The Alpha’s Runaway Prize: Bound by the Billionaire’s Blood   CHAPTER FIFTEEN: THE SILENT HAVEN

    The roar of New York City faded into the rhythmic, hypnotic hum of tires on asphalt as the armored SUV crossed the state line. Behind them, the Vane Tower stood like a frozen monolith, its digital heart stilled by Sabizina’s nitrogen hack. Ahead lay the vast, dark expanse of the Appalachian wilderness—a place where the satellites struggled to pierce the dense canopy and the air didn't smell like ozone and electricityy.Inside the cabin, the silence was heavy. Sabizina sat in the back, her head resting against the cool glass of the window. In the center seat, the two pods remained glowing with a soft, clinical blue light. Leo was awake, his tiny fingers pressing against the glass, while Luna had finally succumbed to the exhaustion of her first twenty-four hours on Earth.Rage sat beside her, his hand never leaving the grip of his sidearm. He wasn't looking at the road; he was looking at the reflection of his wife and children in the darkened glass. The Alpha CEO, the man who had once c

    The Vane Tower, once a symbol of Rage’s absolute sovereignty, had become a vertical tomb. The red emergency lights from the island had been replaced here by a cold, rhythmic pulsing of blue—the signature hue of Valerius Vane’s original operating systemm."He’s rerouting the oxygen scrubbers," Sabiz

  • The Alpha’s Runaway Prize: Bound by the Billionaire’s Blood   CHAPTER TWELVE: THE BATTLEFIELD DELIVERY

    The medical suite of Aethelgard Villa was a masterpiece of clinical glass and reinforced carbon fiber, hanging precariously over the churning white foam of the South Pacific. Usually, it was a place of serene preparation, but now, under the pulsing rhythmic throb of red emergency lights, it felt li

    The transition from the concrete jungle of Manhattan to the private sanctuary of Aethelgard Island was executed with the surgical precision of a military extraction.At 4:00 AM, three identical black Gulfstream jets departed from Teterboro Airport. Only one carried the Alpha and his Queen. The othe

    The Vane Tower was usually a place of cold efficiency, but tonight it felt like a fortress preparing for a siege. In the master suite, the air was thick with the scent of expensive perfume and the sharp ozone of high-end electronics.Sabizina stood before the triple-pane mirror, staring at a woman
