The lighting above us was surgical. I sat in the corner of my cage, my fingers curled around the cold iron bars, watching the upper gallery.

The figures behind the bulletproof glass began to sharpen as the house lights dimmed in the stands, focusing all intensity on the pits below. I squinted, the glare stinging my eyes, until I caught sight of a profile that made my breath hitch.

My father.

Harrison Thorne was standing at the edg

  • The Wolfpack's New Receptionist   Running On Blood

    This wasn't the city I remembered. This Miami was a masterpiece of order.The streets were too clean. There was no noise here, no shouting, no sirens, no music. Just the low hum of the Pulse, a frequency so subtle you felt it in your marrow rather than heard it with your ears."It’s wrong," Maya whispered, her hand instinctively going to her throat where the dampeners had once been.She looked at the passing citizens, their faces smoothed into masks of contentment."They’re not happy. They’re just... empty.""They’re synchronized," I said, pulling my hood lower to shadow my face."It’s a living infrastructure. The Pulse doesn't just block pain; it replaces the individual consciousness. If you step out of time, the Vanguard knows."We moved through the city, sticking to the shadows of the loading docks.

  • The Wolfpack's New Receptionist   Miami Here We Come

    The five minutes we allowed ourselves had stretched into ten, but nobody complained. Watching Gideon and Maya hold onto each other made me realize that our war wasn't just about killing Silas Vance; it was about reclaiming the pieces of humanity he had shattered.The distant whine of a Vanguard drone-sweep echoed through the vents, a reminder that the hunt was still on.Maya finally pulled back, wiping her eyes. She stood up, her posture straighter, her Apex lethality replaced by a sharpened focus. She looked at me, then at the others."You mentioned Miami," Maya said, her voice steady now."Why? Why there? It’s the most heavily fortified Aegis Hub in the Western Hemisphere. It’s Silas’s private sanctuary."I stepped forward, pulling the obsidian black-box drive from my tactical vest."Because that’s where the pulse originates, Maya. S

  • The Wolfpack's New Receptionist   You Think He's Weak?

    Maya sat on the edge of a rusted technician’s chair, her eyes darting around the room with a feverish intensity.She looked at Gideon with the searing fire of a woman who had just been forced to watch her own childhood be murdered."You think this is a gift?" Maya’s voice was a jagged glass edge, cutting through the silence."You took me out of the fog. You took me out of the only place where I didn't have to feel the weight of what you’ve done."She stood up, her movements still possessing a lethal grace, and took a step toward Gideon.He flinched."I was a tool, yes," she continued,"But I didn't have to carry the knowledge that my own father was the architect of my damnation. You didn't save me, Gideon. You just condemned me to the truth. I would have rather stayed a mindless weapon f

  • The Wolfpack's New Receptionist   Memories

    We had left a trail of butchered Vanguard soldiers across the industrial sector, a bloody scar that told Silas exactly what we were: a pack of wolves who had finally decided to bite back.But we were running on fumes. Our weapons were spent, our bodies were shredded."The drive," I said, my voice barely audible over the wind as we crouched in the skeleton of a pre-war manufacturing plant."Gideon. You said you kept the records. Where is the black box?"Gideon, huddled near a pile of rusted iron, looked up with eyes that had seen too much. He didn't have his usual smirk. He had only a frantic, desperate need to survive."It’s in a safehouse, three klicks north. In an old Aegis observation post. It’s not just transit data, Eloise. It’s the original neural-mapping of every Apex citizen. Their names, their families, their actual, unfiltered memories from the moment they were wiped.""That’s our lever," Cane said, his golden eyes scanning the horizon."If we broadcast those memories, the P

  • The Wolfpack's New Receptionist   We Need Blood

    "I learned a few things about your 'Ghost Network,'" Jax said, his voice shaking with pure, unadulterated rage.Jax slammed the scrambler against the floor, and the bridge went dark. The gravity plating died, and the emergency lights turned a deep, blood-red.In that split second of chaos, I shifted.The White Wolf didn't hold back. I didn't care about the dampeners or the safety of the ship. I roared, a sound that shook the very foundation of the ship, and hit Vinnie with the force of a freight train.His metal arm tore off his shoulder in a spray of hydraulic fluid and sparks. He shrieked, stumbling back into the wall.Gideon scrambled, his hand reaching for his pulse-carbine, but I was faster. I was on him, my claws hovering inches from his throat. I wasn't looking at a human anymore. I was looking at the man who had brought death to my pack."You had a choice," I growled, my voice vibrating with the Alpha’s resonance."You had a home. You had us.""I... I have a debt," Gideon gasp

  • The Wolfpack's New Receptionist   Don't Thank Me Yet

    Vane vibrated with the energy of a man who had been pushed past the edge of the world. His eyes were locked onto Gideon’s throat."Step aside, Eloise," Vane repeated."You chose to trust them once. You let them into our fold, you let them feed on our secrets, and you let them butcher Jax. I won’t let you make that mistake again. I won't let your 'mercy' bury the rest of us.""This isn't about mercy, Vane!" I shouted back, planting my feet firmly between him and the cowering Syndicate leader."It’s about strategy! It’s about the truth! If we kill them, Silas wins by default. He stays the hero, and we stay the monsters in the dark."Vane let out a sound that was half-laugh, half-snarl."Monsters? You’re worried about being monsters now? Look at me, Eloise! Look at what this war has turned us into. We are already monsters. The only difference is that I’m the only one here who knows how to do what’s necessary."He stepped forward."You’ve spent months making 'decisions' that end with our

    The limestone ledge was cold beneath us, but I was burning. My heart was still hammering against my ribs."Let them come," I had told him.I meant it. I felt invincible.Cane stared at me, his eyes glowing. His head tilted sharply to the east. The softness in his eyes vanished, replaced by a lethal

  • The Wolfpack's New Receptionist   A Special Kind of Stupid

    At 5:30 AM, the rain stopped, leaving the city dripping and wet. I drove back to the garage.As I pulled into the gravel lot, the silver SUV was no longer a block away. It was parked directly across from the gate, its engine idling. The "Shadow", the contractor my father had hired, was standing by

  • The Wolfpack's New Receptionist   The Alpha’s Den

    The garage was a cage of steel, its concrete floors stained black by decades of oil and grease and god-knows what else.The ceiling was forty feet high with heavy steel beams and dangling chains. Huge industrial fans spun overhead, doing little to cut the heat.

  • The Wolfpack's New Receptionist   Receptionist Wanted

    The second week was a lesson in humiliation. It was a slow-motion car crash, far more painful than the one that had totaled my Bugatti. That crash had been fast, while this was a daily erosion of my pride.I had spent two days crafting a resume. It was a pathetic document that made me feel queasy.
