last update Huling Na-update: 2025-06-18 18:54:41

The coordinates scribbled in Mason’s shaky handwriting burned in Emma’s memory as the armored car rumbled through the ruined world. Trees once full of life stood now as blackened husks, and the sky above had taken on a grim hue, as if mourning the death of nature itself.

Marcus gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles white as the vehicle bulldozed through the ever-thickening horde of infected. The armored car was modified for defense, but the sheer number of abominations they encountered strained its limits. Each impact made the frame shudder. Mangled werewolves slammed against the reinforced glass, screeching and gnashing as their deformed claws scraped at the metal.

Sarah sat in the back beside Emma, her eyes wide, hands clenched around a stun-gun she barely knew how to use. Emma placed a calming hand on her shoulder, though she herself was anything but calm. “Just a bit further,” she murmured, more to herself than anyone else.

Steve sat silently by the side door, his brows

  • The Healer's Bond    195. THE DAWN THAT FOLLOWED

    The morning light seeped slowly through the misty canopy of the Vale of Thorns. Dew clung to the leaves like tear drops, and the smell of charred ash still lingered in the air—a solemn reminder that the nightmare had ended only hours ago.Emma sat alone at the edge of the clearing, her arms wrapped around her knees. She hadn’t slept. Her body was exhausted, her bones aching, but her mind wouldn’t stop racing.Sophia was dead. The virus had lost its queen. And the serum Mason Laurent created—his final act of penance—had brought about the fall of the monster he helped create. But the world beyond the forest still lay in ruins.She could still hear the sounds from the night before. The crackle of fire devouring Sophia’s mutated corpse. The guttural sobs Sarah had tried to hide in her sleeping bag. The way Steve had clenched his jaw as they piled rocks over the ashes like a grave.But it was done. It was over.Almost.“Couldn’t sleep?” Steve’s voice drifted to her softly from behind.Emma

  • The Healer's Bond    194. THE FALL OF SOPHIA LAURENT

    Sophia towered before them, no longer anything resembling the woman who once spoke with scientific curiosity and cruel precision. Her body was pure abomination now—fur black as night, a sinewy frame laced with pulsing silver veins, eyes like twin infernos. The virus had warped her into something beyond wolf or human. Something unnatural. Something that should not have been.Emma’s heart thundered in her chest as she steadied herself. Steve stood several feet ahead, blood staining his chest where Sophia’s claws had raked him. Yet he didn’t retreat. His back was straight, his shoulders squared.He was the Alpha. Her Alpha.Sarah crouched beside Emma, breath ragged, clutching a silver-tipped dart gun. Her hands trembled. “That… that thing is Sophia?”Emma nodded grimly. “Not anymore.”Sophia's voice slithered through the clearing, distorted and inhuman. “You should worship me, Emma Pine. You healed the sick. I evolved them. You clung to tradition. I embraced change. Look at what I’ve bec

  • The Healer's Bond    192. SHADOW OF THE CURE

    The sight of Mason Laurent sent a wave of confusion and caution through Emma. He looked like death in a wheelchair—skin sallow, lips cracked, his once-sharp eyes dulled by a mixture of pain and exhaustion. His frail fingers curled tightly around the armrests as he coughed into a rag already stained with old blood. And yet, beneath the horror of his condition, Emma sensed an eerie lucidity.Steve stepped in front of her protectively, his posture tense. Long and Marcus flanked him, both men ready to strike if the broken figure dared to move the wrong way. But Emma didn’t move. She couldn’t. Her healer instincts held her rooted, torn between revulsion and compassion."You came," Mason rasped. His voice was like broken glass on stone. "You really came.""Where is Sophia?" Marcus demanded. "Was this a trap?""No... no trap. Not anymore. Sophia is gone. She left me here... a dying man among my failures."Emma stepped forward cautiously. "If this isn't a trap, then why is Sarah here?"Sarah,

  • The Healer's Bond    191. FALLEN WORLD

    The wind howled like a wounded beast outside the armored car, carrying with it the rancid stench of decay and blood. Emma sat stiffly in the passenger seat, her fingers clenched tightly on the reinforced dashboard. The landscape they drove through looked nothing like the world she remembered. Trees had withered into blackened husks, their bark cracked open like infected wounds. Roads that once connected towns and cities now splintered under the weight of nature's revenge and man's failure.Steve drove in silence, his jaw tight, eyes scanning every twisted figure they passed. Marcus was behind the wheel before, but had moved to the back to keep watch with Long, whose sharp eyes missed nothing even in the blur of motion.Their destination was Seattle. Their mission: rescue Sarah Myers. And their enemy? A world that had gone mad with infection and cruelty.The virus had spread faster than anyone could have predicted. Emma had heard the whispers back in Sterling Creek, the broken reports

  • The Healer's Bond    190. BERSERKER AND ALPHA

    The moon was high, painting silver streaks on the floor of Elder Weaver’s compound, but Steve wasn’t looking at the sky. He stood on the porch, his arms folded tightly across his chest as he stared at the trees swaying beyond the grove. The night wind tugged at the hem of his shirt, cool against the growing fire inside him.Behind him, he heard Emma’s soft footsteps approach.“You’re not resting,” she said, her tone edged with concern.Steve turned his head slowly, his gaze thoughtful but firm. “There’s something I need to do before we leave for the Vale of Thorns.”Emma frowned. “Steve, you’re barely stable after everything—”“I need to see the Berserker.”Emma stiffened. “That’s not a good idea.”Steve nodded slightly. “I know.”She stepped closer, her hands clenched at her sides. “Then why?”“Because he’s a part of me,” Steve said, his voice heavy. “I tried to deny it for too long. I tried to lock him away, to pretend that I was only the Alpha and nothing else. But he didn’t go awa
