Chapter 211: Nothing But A ToolLAKETime had lost all meaning in this concrete hell. Hours or days could have passed since Andy had brought me the healer to work on - I couldn't tell anymore. The fluorescent lights overhead never changed, casting the same harsh glare that made everything look sickly and wrong. But I didn't need to keep track of time. I only needed to follow Andy's instructions and do what she'd trained me to do.The scalpel felt familiar in my small hands as I made another precise incision along the healer's forearm. Lyn - that was his name, though Andy had told me not to think of him as a person with a name. Just think of him as a tool, she'd said. A source of information wrapped in flesh that happened to be able to repair itself.That self-healing ability made everything so much worse for him. Every cut I made, every nerve I severed, every piece of skin I peeled away - it all grew back within minutes, forcing him to experience the pain over and over again. His bod

Chapter 213:ReunionXENOISThe familiar sight of Zade's compound gates should have brought some measure of relief to me and loosen up some dread settled up in my stomach but all I felt was a hollow ache in my chest as our convoy of three SUVs pulled up to the security checkpoint, before we were cleared to drive in. I could see the security details, all over the place,tightened as construction and cleaning took place, reminding me of the mini war that had taken Alpha Zade and my family by surprise but thankfully they were able to contain.Through the windshield, I could see them waiting for us - Lumina standing with Ollie clutched tightly in her arms, her face pale but determined, waiting for my return. Zade was standing beside her, his Alpha presence radiating tension even from a distance.Lynn stood close to Zade, her medical bag visible at her side, as she looked ready to tend to any injuries we might have sustained.Thorn, my best friend and second-in-command maintained his usu

Chapter 215: Making PlansXENOISThe planning session stretched deep into the night, maps and tactical assessments spread across every available surface in Zade's command center. The abandoned industrial complex where Andy had taken Lyn was a fortress of concrete and steel, with multiple buildings connected by underground tunnels and enough hiding spots to conceal an army. But we had advantages too - speed, supernatural abilities, and the element of surprise if we played our cards right."The half-bloods will be our primary transport," I announced, studying the satellite imagery Carol had managed to obtain, putting it on the display monitor, as I zoomed in and out of the picture noting important landmarks. "Kyle, XY, Kashton, and Marcus can move faster than any vehicle and won't leave the kind of trail that vehicles would."Marcus nodded from his position near the window. "We can have everyone at the target location within two hours once we leave. The question is what we do when we g

Chapter 217: The Choice Between LoyaltiesRILEYThe sound of the explosion shook dust from the ceiling above us, and I knew immediately what it meant. They had come for Lyn. After everything that had happened, after all the lies and betrayals, the people who had taken me from Mama Sophia were here to finish what they'd started."We need to go," I said urgently, my hands working at the chains that held Lyn to the medical table. Lake was already moving beside me, his own fingers flying over the locks with the practiced efficiency Andy had drilled into both of us. "Now, before they find us."Lake's face was set in grim determination as he freed Lyn's wrists. The healer's skin was a map of fresh scars that would fade thanks to his abilities, but the trauma in his eyes would take much longer to heal. "Can you walk?" Lake asked him, his voice flat and clinical."I think so," Lyn replied weakly, struggling to sit up. His healing powers had kept him alive through Lake's work, but they couldn'

Chapter 219RILEY"I'm not leaving him," I said firmly, positioning myself between XY and Lake's unconscious form. They would have to kill me to take him from me and I have a bad habit of being difficult to Kill.,I don't care what any of you say or propose to me,. I'm not abandoning him again.".The half-blood's expression softened slightly, but his stance remained resolute. No matter what, he clearly wasn't letting me go that easily."Kid, I know that you are worried because you think we will hurt one of Andy's soldier but he needs medical attention that we can't provide here. We have to get him to a hospital.""Then I'm coming with you," I replied, my voice carrying the kind of determination that had kept me alive through years of training and violence, with Lake beside me as my partner. "Where he goes, I go." I glanced behind XY and saw that they had managed to knock out Andy and she was being carried away, probably to be killed or detained.My fath....no.....Xenois approached ca
