Marisol’s POVTime stopped as Luna’s tiny fingers reached toward the nightmare above us.“Don’t let them touch!” Morrigan shouted, but it was too late.The Devourer’s formless appendage made contact with Luna’s hand.Light exploded outward not the creature’s darkness, but pure silver-white radiance from my daughter. The Devourer shrieked and recoiled violently.Where Luna had touched it, the creature’s form was crystallized, solid.“Impossible,” Dr. Rhodes breathed. “She didn’t absorb its power. She transformed it.”Aurora reached out now, her hand glowing orange-red. When she touched the air, cold fire erupted, freezing moisture into glittering ice crystals.“They’re rewriting the rules of magic itself,” Morrigan whispered.The Devourer pulled back, hovering above the ruined lodge.*WRONG. SOURCES ARE WRONG. THEY TASTE OF CREATION. NOT CONSUMPTION.*“It’s confused,” Dr. Rhodes said. “Devourers consume energy. But your daughters’ power is generative, not destructive.”The creature beg

Marisol's POVThe man who stepped out of the lead vehicle wore a suit that screamed government official."Mrs. Blackwood, Mr. Blackwood." He extended a hand. "Agent Marcus Chen, Department of Supernatural Affairs. This is Agent Rivera and Dr. Patricia Hoffman from the CDC."I didn't take his hand. "There's no Department of Supernatural Affairs.""There wasn't. Until three days ago when footage of your children went viral." He lowered his hand. "The president signed an executive order creating our department eighteen hours ago.""What do you want?" Kael asked flatly."To talk. We're not here to take your children. We're here because the world just learned magic is real and two babies can fight off interdimensional entities.""They're not government property," I said sharply."No one said they were." Dr. Hoffman stepped forward. "I'm here as a medical professional. We need to understand what your children are capable of.""They're babies. Six months old.""Who made a cosmic entity flee

Marisol's POVMarion arrived two days after we signed the federal agreement, bringing twelve Unbound members with her."I heard you were collecting allies," she said, embracing me at the gate. "Figured you could use people who've been hiding from The Architect successfully for twenty years.""Twenty years?" I pulled back. "You've known about The Architect that long?""Known of them. We discovered their involvement in the 2005 attempt—a hybrid child born in Seattle. The mother came to us for help when strange things started happening." Marion's expression darkened. "We were too late. The child was taken. We never found out what happened to her."We gathered in the rebuilt conference room now warded by Morrigan with protections against scrying, recording, and magical eavesdropping. Marion's people joined Kael's inner circle, Dr. Rhodes, and Morrigan around the table."Let's start with what we know," Kael said, pulling up the decoded files from Thomas. "The Architect has been orchestrati

The Alpha's Accidental MateMarisol's POVBy evening, we were the top story on every news channel."Supernatural Children Lose Control at Press Conference," read one headline. "Are Hybrid Babies a Threat?" asked another. The worst was from a conservative network: "Government Harbors Dangerous Entities When Will They Strike?"I watched the coverage with growing horror. Someone had slowed down the footage, analyzing every flicker of Luna's eyes, every temperature spike from Aurora."They're making them look like weapons," I said.Kael paced behind me, fury radiating through the bond. "Chen promised controlled narrative. This is a disaster."Agent Chen arrived an hour later, looking haggard. "I'm sorry. Someone bypassed our protocols let in reporters who weren't vetted.""Someone," Morrigan said from the doorway. "Or The Architect's plant?""We're investigating. But the damage is done." Chen pulled up his tablet. "Public sentiment shifted dramatically. Before the conference, sixty percen

Marisol's POVFifty-five minutes."We can't give them the twins," Vera said, though her voice lacked conviction. "It's obviously a trap.""Obviously," I agreed, staring at the TV. Parents were gathering outside Lincoln Elementary, screaming for their children. Twenty-three hostages. Seventeen under age ten."But if we don't, and children die" Marion didn't finish.We all knew. The public would never forgive us. The Architect wins either way.My phone rang. Kael."The police are planning to breach in forty minutes. But Mari, I can smell something wrong. Too many heartbeats inside. Way more than twenty-three hostages.""What does that mean?""I think they're planning to kill the hostages regardless. Whether we deliver the twins or not. Maximum casualties, maximum blame on us."Through the bond, I felt his helpless rage."There has to be another option," I said.Morrigan had been silent, her ancient eyes distant. "There is one option. Dangerous, but it exists.""Tell me.""The twins go.
