"Don't touch him, Tessa! I mean it!" I spat, my voice cracking through the roar of the surf. I was on my knees, my fingers clawing into the volcanic black sand of a shore that didn't appear on any map.

"Lyra, look at him! He’s not breathing like a normal infant," Tessa shouted, hovering over me with a blood-stained blanket. She looked back at the horizon, where the column of smoke from the fallen Citadel still

  • The Untouchable Omega: Her Silver Rebirth   The Sword and the Sovereign

    The air in the cave grew heavy. The sweet smell of lilies was replaced by the sharp, metallic scent of rain and woodsmoke. Lyra didn't need to look at the entrance to know who was there. Her collarbone burned, the mark under her skin pulsing like a trapped bird.Rowan stepped into the light of the fire. He looked like a man who had walked through hell. His clothes were torn, his knuckles were bloody, and a thin line of frost covered his eyelashes. He stopped dead when he saw the massive wolf, Fen, bowing before Lyra. Then he looked at Hestia, and finally, his gaze landed on Lyra."Lyra," he breathed. He took a step forward, but Fen let out a roar that made the stone walls vibrate. The wolf’s fur stood on end, his blue eyes flashing with a warning."Don't come any closer, Rowan," Lyra said. She stood tall, her

  • The Untouchable Omega: Her Silver Rebirth   The Whispering Cave

    The silver light in Lyra’s veins felt like a warm hum, protecting her from the freezing air. She had been running for what felt like hours, her breath coming out in white clouds. Every time she looked back, she saw nothing but the dark silhouettes of the pine trees. Rowan was nowhere to be seen. The command she had placed on him was strong, but she knew it wouldn't last forever. A man like Rowan didn't stay down for long.The mountain grew steeper. The trees began to thin out, replaced by jagged rocks that looked like giant teeth reaching for the sky. Lyra’s legs were starting to ache, and the heavy boots she had stolen felt like lead weights."Just a little more," she whispered, patting her stomach. "We’re almost there."She didn't know where "there" was, but her blood seemed to know. It was pulli

    The wind screamed through the trees, biting into Lyra’s face like a thousand tiny knives. Every breath felt like swallowing crushed ice. She didn't stop. She couldn't. Behind her, the warm glow of the cabin was shrinking, becoming nothing more than a golden speck against the suffocating blackness of the mountains.Her boots sank deep into the snow with every step. Her lungs burned, and her stomach felt tight. "Just a little further," she whispered to the baby, her voice lost in the roar of the storm. "We’re going to be okay. I won't let them take you."She could hear Rowan shouting her name. His voice was deep and powerful, cutting through the wind. He was fast, and he was a tracker. He knew how she moved. He knew how she breathed. But he didn't know the fire that was currently melting the fear in her heart.Lyra reached a steep ridge where the trees grew thick and gnarled. Her hands were numb, but she gripped the bark of a pine tree to pull herself upward. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot

  • The Untouchable Omega: Her Silver Rebirth    The Silent Bell

    The mountain air was so cold it felt like needles against Lyra’s skin, but the heat inside the cabin was worse. It was a thick, heavy heat born from the secrets Rowan was still keeping.Rowan had fallen asleep in the armchair by the fire, his large frame looking awkward and stiff in the small space. His breathing was heavy, the kind of sleep that only comes to men who spend their lives looking over their shoulders. On the floor beside him lay his tactical jacket, discarded and heavy with the scent of pine and rain.Lyra stood in the shadows of the hallway, her hand resting instinctively over her stomach. The baby, the secret Julian wanted to harvest and the Council wanted to kill, gave a small, fluttering kick. It was a reminder that she didn't have the luxury of playing house.She walked forward on quiet feet. She just wanted to move the jacket so she wouldn’t trip on it later. But as she lifted the heavy fabric, something hard and cold slid out of a hidden inner pocket.It was a pho

  • The Untouchable Omega: Her Silver Rebirth   The Dreaming God

    "Kill me! If you have any part of me left in that glass shell, kill me before she starts the pulse!"The skeletal woman at my feet wasn't a stranger. She was the raw, ravaged original the source material for my every thought and movement. Her hand, little more than bone wrapped in translucent, parchment-like skin, gripped my ankle with a strength born of terminal agony."I can't!" I screamed, pulling back, but my own glass limbs felt sluggish, the frame rate of the world stuttering as the laboratory walls continued to dissolve into burning geometric patterns."You have to," the skeletal Lyra wheezed, her sunken eyes rolling back toward the massive, pulsing brain suspended above her. "The Ancients, they aren't from the stars. They’re the antibodies of the mind. They’re trying to purge the dream. I’m

    "Drop the knife, Lyra. You’re shaking so hard you’re likely to cut your own throat before you touch mine."The voice was sandpaper on silk, coming from the shadows of a towering fern that looked like it belonged in a prehistoric fever dream. I didn't drop the blade. I tightened my grip on the jagged obsidian shard, my knuckles white, my skin still stinging from the transition."Where is he, Rowan? Where is my son?" I demanded, my voice cracking as I scanned the emerald horizon.We weren't in the Iron Bank. We weren't even under the Atlantic. We were standing in a sprawling jungle beneath two bloated, violet moons that hung in the sky like bruised fruit. The air was thick with the scent of crushed mint and ozone.Rowan stepped into the moonlight. He looked hum
