▄︻デ══━一 COLTON HAYES💥 Vanessa worked like a woman possessed.The area of the kitchen filled with the sharp scent of alcohol and something bitter and chemical as she laid out the supplies I’d picked up. Plastic containers. Droppers. A bag of strange powder, she explained, was essential for the reaction. She had a focused, stubborn set to her mouth as she moved — no hesitation, no second-guessing. It was impressive as hell. She’s like an incredible hybrid who can do so much. Sure, I’m not happy that part of the ingredient calls for her blood. But what can I do? I got the first aid kit and laid it on one of the stools.I leaned against the counter, arms crossed, trying to ignore the throb in my side. It wasn’t bad. Not like it had been. Just a reminder that pushing my body harder than it could handle had a cost"Hey," Vanessa said without looking up. She was grinding something down into finer powder with the back of a spoon. "While I’m working, can you check out the Fa-derico twins? I

▄︻デ══━一 COLTON HAYES💥 The morning sun was climbing higher, burning the mist off the fields, but it couldn’t burn away the heavy feeling pressing against my chest.There was a tension in the air so thick you could chew it — the kind that got in your lungs and made it hard to breathe.I pulled my jacket tighter around myself as I headed toward the field.Ahead, a long line of our people stretched out, the entire pack spilling across the open grass like soldiers waiting for orders.Mothers rocked babies against their hips, murmuring soft reassurances into tiny ears.Toddlers clung to their fathers' pant legs.The older ones stood stiff, their gazes darting around nervously, like they could feel the edge of something coming too.Dad was up front, clipboard in one hand, glasses slipping down his nose as he called out names with military precision. He doesn’t wear- when did he get glasses? I thought... well, i guess old age caught up to him. Beside him, Ross scribbled notes, checking eac

▄︻デ══━一 COLTON HAYES💥 The crowd buzzed with quiet confusion as Vanessa moved down the rows, brushing that strange liquid over skin and fabric with a quick, practiced hand.Parents murmured. Kids fidgeted. Men and women cast wary glances, but no one fought it.They trusted me enough to obey, even if they didn’t fully understand.At first, everything stayed normal.People are shifting awkwardly under the sun.There was nothing out of the ordinary except the heavy, simmering tension in the air. Once she was done, she came toward me, a look on her face that told me to be alert. I nodded; of course, I would be alert. Ross and my father stood close to each other.They looked at us, wondering what was happening. I was wondering whether Vanessa should have checked my brother and father. Just to be sure they weren’t the imposters. I stood beside Vanessa, arms folded across my chest, my senses peeled raw with focus.Seconds bled into minutes. It was taking far longer than I thought it would.

★。＼｜／。★VANESSA DAVIS★。／｜＼。★I set my vials down carefully on a dusty old table by the door, arranging them neatly, almost deliberately slow.Fabian and Derico — the Fa-derico twins — were chained and fidgeting against the beams, their faces tight with pain and hatred.Good.Let them stew.I turned to Abel and Ross, keeping my voice even, business-like.“We’re going to do this properly,” I said. “I’m going to need to take some photos and videos.” I glanced at Ross. “If they confess anything — especially anything about a woman named Alina — we’re going to need proof.”Ross raised an eyebrow, but nodded. Abel grunted his approval. They didn’t know that name, I’m guessing colton didn’t really tell them the name of the woman who scammed him. I’d like to punch her. Not out of jealousy though. I’m classier than that- It’s maybe partly jealousy. Still, colton is a nice guy. And girls like me and alina use nice guys. I’m not proud of those past conquest but I’m also not ashamed of it.I loo

★。＼｜／。★VANESSA DAVIS★。／｜＼。★I shut the lid of my laptop and stared at it for a long second. The screen was black, but I could still see the echo of everything inside it—files, photos, confessions that might change the course of this pack’s future. I backed it up to several places. The first backup was easier than the others after it. Ugh, I’m actually super tired. I feel like crashing but i have one more thing to do. I gotta make that call I’ve been avoiding.My thumb hovered over my phone before I picked it up and scrolled to a number I’d been avoiding for days.Maya (Editor-in-Chief)The moment it started ringing, I regretted it. But there was no turning back now.She picked up before the third ring.“Jesus Christ, Vanessa. You’re alive. I’ve been calling you, emailing you, and texting you. You practically live on your phone, so why haven’t you been answering?”Her voice was sharp, loud, clipped. Familiar. And also tired. Everyone’s got shit that they’re dealing with.“I’m sorry,
