ログインPushing open the door directly opposite, I pop my head into the lab, where the soft humming of the equipment greets me. I find Ronnie here speaking with Hiro, our youngest and brightest lab tech. “I want blood samples from everyone here as soon as possible,” I instruct.Hiro’s eyes widen. “Everyone
** Jake’s POV **None of what is happening is chance or coincidence. I don’t let the thought settle. I don’t let it spiral because that won’t help. Standing still right now feels like the worst possible option, so I move.The clinic doors swing shut behind me as I head straight down the corridor, my
“Hey,” Callen says, moving in fast, one hand wrapping around her arm. “Easy.”“I’m fine,” Paige brushes it off quickly, but her voice isn’t as steady as it was a second ago.Ryder’s already there on her other side, his hand settling at her back without hesitation.“You’re not fine,” he says, calm bu
** Leo’s POV **Something else is off. I feel it the second Paige touches her. It’s not obvious. Probably not even something anyone else would notice. To anyone watching, it looks normal. Two sisters hugging. But through the bond, there’s a jolt. Like two currents brushing the wrong way.My shoulder

Ryder blinks. “What?”Ronnie shrugs. “If what I think I translated from that ancient book is right, she pulls power faster under sunlight and moonlight. Get her to a window, doorway, anything. Let me test a theory.”Leo snorts. “So you want me to lure her to the window and put her on charge?”Ronnie
** Remy’s POV **My chest goes tight. “No,” I whisper.Nina’s standing in the centre of them like she belongs there, her once-pristine doctor’s coat shredded and smeared with dirt, her expression is as blank as the rest.Leo exhales. “Is that…”“Yeah,” I nod. “That’s Nina.”For a long second, no one
Remy responds, voice taut. “This is her, isn’t it?”“It’s her,” I confirm.Ryder doesn’t reply for a moment. When he does, his tone is sharp with underlying emotion. “Stay calm.
