If someone had tapped my shoulder a year ago, when I was standing on a flooded street with rain in my hair and mud splashed up my legs, and told me that someday I would say “yes” to Alexander Langston, I would have laughed. Or cried. Or both. Mostly because I did not know back then that something beautiful could still happen to the pieces of me I had left.

Tonight feels unreal. Not because he proposed. But because I accepted… easily. wholeheartedly. Like the word was never forbidden to me.

  • Unworthy No More    The First Recruit

    Sophie By the end of the week, my notebook had become something I carried everywhere. I never told anyone what it was for. At school, it looked like an ordinary notebook filled with messy handwriting, unfinished homework, and observations that probably made very little sense to anyone else.Emily once grabbed it from my desk. "What are you writing all the time?" I snatched it back. "Nothing."She laughed. "You've become secretive.""I'm not secretive.""You absolutely are." I smiled and pushed the notebook into my bag. She didn't know that I had begun noticing things differently.Our English teacher always touched her necklace when she was nervous. The headmaster never looked directly at people when he was lying. One of the boys in my class pretended not to care about his grades, but he checked every marked paper before anyone else. None of it seemed important. Still, I wrote it down.

  • Unworthy No More    The First Rule

    Sophie I kept their secret. That was harder than I expected. The following morning, I sat across from Atlas at breakfast while he calmly spread jam across his toast, and I had to pretend I didn't know that he had spent part of the previous night designing an organization with his siblings.Selene was beside him, arguing with Mom about whether four-year-olds needed bedtime. Leon was unusually quiet. Every few minutes, his eyes met mine. I wondered whether he knew I'd been listening. He didn't say anything. Neither did I. Perhaps that was our first secret between siblings. Not the kind that created distance. The kind that created an invisible thread.After breakfast, my tutor arrived. I spent two hours working through mathematics, literature, and history while the triplets continued their separate lessons. My mathematics tutor gave me a difficult logic problem. I solved it faster than she expected.She smiled. "You've

  • Unworthy No More    Aegis

    Sophie The next few days taught me something I had never considered before. My siblings could pretend. Not ordinary pretending, like telling Mom they had finished their vegetables when Selene had secretly pushed them beneath the table. This was different.They had learned how to make themselves look less intelligent. It began with their tutors. Professor Hartwell would present Atlas with a problem that was far below his ability, and Atlas would deliberately take longer to solve it. Sometimes he made an innocent mistake, then corrected it after his tutor explained the answer.Selene became even better at it. When Miriam asked her to demonstrate something on a computer, Selene occasionally clicked the wrong button before eventually finding the correct one.Leon was the most convincing of all. He could move with an accuracy that made Master Chen increasingly cautious, yet whenever someone unfamiliar entered the training room, Leon became a quiet four-year-old who needed instructions rep

  • Unworthy No More    What Not To Show

    Sophie The next morning, I found Atlas in the library. He was reading a book that looked much too complicated for a four-year-old. I sat beside him."Dad is investigating the people following the tutors."Atlas turned a page. "I know.""How?""Mom told Selene."I frowned. "How does Selene know?""She was standing nearby."I laughed. "Of course."Atlas closed his book. "What did Dad find?""Nothing yet." He considered that. "Then he hasn't found the important part."I looked at him. "How do you know?""Because if he had, you wouldn't be asking me."I rolled my eyes. "You're impossible."He smiled. "You came here because you wanted to talk about it.""I did.""What are you thinking?"I hesitated. "Maybe whoever is following the tutors isn't trying to get close to them. Maybe they're trying to learn how our family works."His expression became more serious. "That's possible.""Then they could learn without following anyone.""How?""By watching what we do."He looked toward the window.

  • Unworthy No More    The Blind Spot

    Sophie The news about the vehicle following the tutors changed the atmosphere in our house without changing anything we could see.Breakfast remained breakfast. Mom still reminded Leon to slow down when he ate, Selene still complained that Atlas corrected everyone, and Dad still read the morning news while pretending he wasn't listening to all three of us at once. But something had shifted. The adults were paying closer attention.The tutors were being questioned about their routines, the security team was reviewing the routes they used, and Dad spent longer than usual in his study. Nobody told me exactly what they were looking for. I could feel the question hanging over the house. Who had been watching the tutors, and why?That afternoon, I found Dad in his study. He was standing beside the window with his phone in one hand while several reports lay open across his desk. He ended the call when he noticed me. "You should be doing your homework.""I finished."He gave me the look he u

  • Unworthy No More    A School of Our Own

    Sophie I had expected Selene to complain about being confined to the house, Atlas to demand access to more advanced material, and Leon to insist that staying home interfered with his training.Instead, they accepted the arrangement with an ease that made me wonder whether they had already decided that the gifted academy had never been worth returning to.Their tutors arrived shortly after breakfast, one after another, carrying books, laptops, instruments, and enough teaching material to make our library look like a small university.Professor Hartwell went directly to Atlas. Miriam took Selene into the technology room. Master Chen collected Leon for his morning training. Nobody asked whether they missed school. I knew the answer anyway. They didn't. They had discovered something far more valuable than a classroom. Freedom.At home, nobody told them what they were supposed to understand because of their age. Their tutors simply found out what they already knew and worked from there. A

  • Unworthy No More    Their Quiet Indignation

    Author's POV The hospital room smelled faintly of antiseptic and lilies, gifts from well-meaning acquaintances who had no idea that every petal reminded Viola of disappointment. She sat propped against the pillows, her silk nightgown stretched unflatteringly across her swollen body, her twin daugh

    IslaThe memory faded, but the echo of it lingered, cold and sharp. And then I looked down at my phone again, at the headline that mocked Nathaniel’s fall from grace. My laughter returned, bright and unstoppable, spilling out like it had been waiting all these years.Alexander watched me, silent bu

    Isla As we prepared to leave, Lia lingered a moment longer, her eyes flicking toward Nathaniel and Mrs. Blake with a teasing, almost predatory gleam. “You know,” she said, her voice sweet as honey but with an unmistakable edge, “it must be exhausting, trying so hard to appear important when the re

    Isla Hart’s POVThe sun had barely touched the city when I felt that familiar tightness in my chest. I shook it off, chalking it up to nerves. Sophie’s daycare pickup was usually a quiet affair, and I had planned to linger a little longer at Horizon Outreach today. But Sophie, as usual,
