“She knew.” I stared at the photo. At Tessa’s smug smile. At the proof, she was still watching. Still listening. Still ten steps ahead. “She knew we’d find the laptop. Knew we’d think we’d outsmarted her. This was all part of her plan.”Lycian took the phone. Studied the image. His jaw clenched. “Then we abandon the estate. Move somewhere she can’t monitor. Start fresh.”“She’ll expect that too. Probably has surveillance at every safe house. Every pack location.” I grabbed the phone back. Threw it off the balcony. Watched it shatter below. “We can’t win by running. She’s always watching.”“Then we give her something to watch.” He pulled me away from the railing. Back inside. “Something that makes her think she’s winning while we actually prepare.”“Like what? We already tried feeding her false information. She saw through it.”“Then we don’t feed false information. We feed real information. But incomplete.” His eyes gleamed. “We let her think she knows our plan. Then we do something d

My parents looked exactly as I remembered. Frozen in time. Mom’s dark hair streaked with silver. Dad’s strong jaw. Both are peaceful. Like they were sleeping instead of trapped.“They’re really alive.” My voice came out strangled. Wrong. “You weren’t lying.”“I never lie. I manipulate. I misdirect. I strategize. But I don’t lie.” Tessa circled the chambers. Fingers trailing along the glass. “Your parents have been here for twenty-two years. Suspended. Waiting. Perfect subjects for our experiments.”“Subjects.” The word tasted like ash. “They’re people. My parents. Not your lab rats.”“They’re both. That’s what makes them so valuable.” She stopped at my mother’s chamber. Studied her face. “Your mother was brilliant. Created half the formulas we still use. Your father perfected the suspended animation process. They gave us everything. Willingly. Before they got cold feet and tried to run.”“You’re lying. They would never help you. Never willingly hurt people.”“Wouldn’t they? Everyone h

“Another facility.” I stared at the dead phone. At the proof that we’d accomplished nothing. “She’s been playing us this whole time. Letting us think we were winning while the real operation continued somewhere else.”My mother touched my shoulder. Her hand is warm. Real. Alive. “Elowen. Look at me. What you did today matters. You freed hundreds of people. You saved your father and me. You dealt a massive blow to the Collective. That’s nothing.”“But it’s not enough. Not if she has another facility. Another army. Another way to activate Project Genesis.” I looked at Lycian. At the exhaustion in his eyes. “We’re always one step behind. Always reacting instead of acting. How do we win a war we can’t even see coming?”“We stop fighting her war. We start fighting ours.” He pulled me close. “We have something Nightshade doesn’t. Something she can’t replicate or counter.”“What? Because right now it feels like she has everything. Resources. Intelligence. An army waiting to activate. We have

I was dying. I knew this with absolute certainty. The wound in my chest is too severe. The blood loss is too great. The darkness is too close.I felt Lycian’s agony. I felt him pouring everything into me. His life force. His wolf. His soul. Trying to keep me tethered. Trying to keep me here.Let go, I thought weakly. Save yourself. Don’t die with me.Never. We’re bonded. We’re mated. We die together or not at all. His presence wrapped around mine. Fierce. Absolute. I’m not losing you. Fight. Please fight.But I had nothing left to fight with. Nothing left to give. Just fading consciousness and the weight of too many losses.My mother died to save my father. Gone before I could really know her.Elena died to save me. My sister sacrificed herself without hesitation.And soon me, I’d be dead byNightshade’s weapon. To Tessa’s revenge. To everything we’d failed to stop.Then warmth spread through my chest. Not Lycian’s power. Something else. Something silver. Something pure.My wolf stirre

The estate looked different. Fortified. Guards on every entrance. Weapons stockpiled, the pack is preparing for war.Clara met us at the door. She hugged me tight. Too tight. Like she was afraid I’d disappear again. “Thank god you’re back. We need you. Things are bad. Really bad.”“What happened? Tessa said there was a threat but didn’t give details.” I followed her inside where the whole pack had gathered. Faces grim. Scared. Determined.Damien stepped forward. “Two days ago, we intercepted Collective communications. They’re mobilizing. Every remaining facility. Every hidden cell. Every sleeper agent. All converging on one target.”“Let me guess. Me.” I sat. Exhausted already.“Eliminate you. Completely. Permanently.” Tessa pulled up intel on screens. “After you purified Project Genesis. After you destroyed the command center. The remaining leaders decided you’re too dangerous to exist. They’re coming to end you. And anyone who protects you.”Lycian’s hand found mine. “How many?”“Fi
