Lucien POV

The ten-ton crystal chandelier hit the ballroom floorboards with a deafening roar.

Shards of glass and twisted steel erupted outward in every direction, crushing the central fountain and cutting off the charging line of silver-armored enforcers. Dust and smoke billowed up to the high ceiling arches, obscuring the red emergency scanners.

I kept my left arm wrapped tightly around Kael’s waist, shielding his body with my heavy navy coat as glass rained down around us.

“Move!” I barked,

    Kael POVThe heavy iron lift shuddered as it dropped four hundred feet into the dark shaft. The burning towers of the Upper District disappeared above us.Cold, damp air rushed up through the floor. It carried the familiar smells of sulfur, rust, and old copper water. Sector Four swallowed us whole. The low hum of the Sump’s drainage pipes vibrated through my boots.I checked the energy clip on Julian’s light pistol and racked the slide with a clean click.Mara stood next to me. Her leather apron was coated in grease and dried blood. She held her silver-nitrate rifle low against her hip. Ten human rebels squeezed into the lift behind us, faces hard.“They breached the lower water intake three minutes ago, Kael,” Mara said, wiping sweat from her forehead. “Vane sent two mechanized squads down to dump refined gas into the main reservoir.”“Not on my watch,” I said, pulling my velvet coat tight. My left hand rested flat against my stomach under the fabric, feeling that quiet, steady warm

    Lucien POVA heavy metal beam crashed onto the marble floor. Hot red embers scattered across the broken library doorway.I stood over Kael, blocking the falling dust with my body. His coat was torn at the collar. Grey ash marked his jaw, but his silver-ringed eyes stayed sharp as he pushed himself up against the table.Above us, twelve House Raven battlecruisers hung in the storm clouds. Their plasma turrets turned together. Red laser sights locked onto the shattered balcony where Kael had stood moments before.“Sovereign!” Julian shouted, ducking behind a stone arch with his pistol ready. “The Raven flagship is charging its main dark-matter cannon!”The air in my chest turned to ice.They had targeted Kael. They had forced him to burn his core energy, and now they brought a full air fleet to crush the room he stood in.My mind went black.The Alpha core in my blood exploded outward in a freezing wave that shattered every remaining glass window in the east wing.***“Lucien, wait!” Ka

    Kael POVA volley of black-fire mortar shells arched over the burning courtyard wall.I leaned over the high marble balcony railing of the estate's third tier, raising my left palm toward the open sky. My silver mark flared bright beneath my sleeve, sending a sheet of pure Omega energy into the air. The barrier caught the first three shells, detonating them high above the ground in a shower of white sparks and black smoke.Down in the ruined courtyard, Lucien swept his dark broadsword through a squad of Enforcers. His crimson aura cut through the dust like an iron wave, keeping two hundred armored soldiers pinned against the front steps."Two more coming from the north!" Mara yelled from the balcony edge. She wiped grease from her nose, resting her silver-nitrate sniper rifle on a sandbag. "Kael, cover the left ridge!""I see them!" I called back.I snapped my silver blade upward, redirecting a blast of cold air to hit the incoming mortar. The shell turned to ice mid-air, dropping use

    Lucien POVA heavy iron shell tore through the glass dome of the east balcony.The explosion rattled the floorboards, throwing clouds of white marble dust across the main hall. I reached out, grabbing Kael’s arm to pull him behind the central stone pillar before the falling glass hit the floor."That was a heavy mortar!" Kael yelled, wiping dust from his eyes. He racked the slide on his star-metal pistol, checking the energy clip. "They are firing straight into Sector One!""It is a siege barrage," I said, stepping in front of him. "Vane is trying to soften the estate defense before pushing his foot soldiers through the gates."Outside the tall archways, red tracer fire cut across the dark morning sky. The ground shook as three more artillery shells hit the outer courtyard, blowing iron gates off their hinges.Julian sprinted down the wide marble staircase, his necktie loose, holding his diagnostic reader in one hand and his pistol in the other. "Sovereign! Three mechanized Enforcer s

    Lucien POVThe iron door of the maintenance shaft buckled under my shoulder.Sparks flew off the broken latch as I shoved the heavy frame wide. Dust filled the hallway, thick with the sharp smell of burnt copper and old blood.Kael stepped out first. His dark hood was pulled low over his forehead, hiding his face in shadows. He held his pulse rifle tight against his chest, his boots clicking hard against the wet marble.I stepped into his space instantly. My left hand reached out on its own, catching the edge of his velvet coat and pulling the heavy fabric tight across his stomach.Kael stopped, snapping his head up. His silver-ringed eyes glared at me from beneath his hood. "What are you doing, Vale?""Your coat is loose," I said. My voice sounded lower than usual, thick with a strange, heavy pressure in my throat."It is a coat, not a harness," Kael muttered, trying to pull away.I did not let go. My thumb pressed into the heavy velvet, smoothing the seam over his hip until the cold

    Kael POVThe heavy iron door of the maintenance closet clattered behind us as we charged back into the Apex lobby.The red holographic timer on the ceiling screen pulsed, its crimson light washing over the marble pillars and shattered glass floorboards.SANGUINE GAS CYCLE: 00:01:45Plasma fire rained down from the upper balcony, but Lucien was already moving. He leaped onto the lower balustrade, his broadsword sweeping through the air to split an incoming energy bolt into bright white sparks. His dark plasma flame flared hot, pushing back three Council enforcers in a single, brutal swing."Julian! Hold the main stairs!" Lucien roared, his crimson eyes glowing through the smoke.I fell into step behind Lucien's right shoulder, raising my pulse rifle to pick off a sniper on the ledge. My boots hit the slick marble, but every time I moved, my left hand instinctively hovered over my stomach beneath my velvet coat.Beside me, Rin stumbled over a pile of broken concrete, holding his medical
