All Chapters of The Wolfpack's New Receptionist: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Located four hundred feet beneath the streets of the Heights, a forgotten industrial bunker served as a natural shield against Silas’s global surveillance. Above us, the world was trapped in a subsonic trance. Every thirty minutes, the towers emitted a pulse that controlled the human will, turning the global population into a docile labor force. "The thermal sweep is passing over the Everglades now," Harrison Thorne said. He stood before a flickering holographic projector. "If we hadn't moved when we did, we’d be dead. Silas isn't just hunting us anymore; he’s transforming the planet into a cage, but we're going to need a bigger safe house. It's getting cramped in here." I stepped out of the shadows of a massive cooling pipe. "And the accounts?" Harrison turned, a weary but sharp glint in his eyes. "

The Alpha of the feral pack was a blur of matted brown, a creature forged in the crucible of starvation. When he launched himself from the shadows of the cathedral rafters, he was attacking with the absolute, singular purpose of a dying animal protecting its last scraps of meat. The White Wolf surged to the surface, my vision turning into a high-contrast map of heat and motion. I pivoted and caught the Alpha in mid-air. My avian-enhanced core held, bracing my spine against the force of his momentum. I slammed him into the stone floor, the impact vibrating through my teeth. He tried to scramble up, his fangs snapping an inch from my throat, but I was faster. I pinned his shoulders to the floor, my fingers digging into his fur until I hit the muscle beneath. He growled, a wet, rattling sound, and tried to buck me off, but I used my body weight, pinning him. "Enough!" I roared, my voice carrying the command of the Alpha.

We sprinted for the rear loading dock. We vaulted over the outer fence and dove into the sewer maintenance tunnels, disappearing into the dark heart of the city. We collapsed in a forgotten drainage junction, the sound of Jax’s ragged breathing and Raya’s whimpers filling the hollow space. I looked at them. Jax was bleeding from a dozen shallow cuts, his gauntlets nothing but scrap. Raya was pale, her arm held at an agonizing angle. I looked at Cane. He was covered in black ichor, his breath coming in short, harsh gasps. "What were those things?" Jax whispered, his voice trembling. "They… they didn't bleed, El. They knew what we were going to do before we did it." "They’re the next generation," I said, my voice heavy with the crushing weight of the future. "Silas didn't just want an army. He wanted an extinction event. He’s made things that can hunt

"Well," Cane said, his voice dripping with irony as he leaned back against the cold steel wall."At least they’re not Apex.""Give it time," Raya muttered, clutching her side."I’d rather fight a mantis than a guy named Vinnie who thinks a coffee machine is a negotiation tactic."I sat in the dark, my mind racing. I was furious, humiliated, and more than a little bit impressed. These weren't soldiers. They were a mess. But they were a mess that had managed to take down the White Wolf and the Alpha of the Moon without losing a single man."They have the dampeners," I said, my mind pivoting."If they take this ship into the Ruhr Valley, they’re going to run straight into the Apex.""Then we let them," Cane said, his eyes narrowing."Let the Apex tear them apart. We get our gear back, we take the ship, and we finish the mission.""No," I whispered, an idea beginning to form."If we let them fight the Apex, they lose. And if they lose, the Apex get the gear. And if the Apex get the gear,

In the galley, the Rust Runners were already back to their usual organized chaos, but my mind was in the brig. I needed to bring Torin and Vane into the fold, and I knew that it was going to be a difficult conversation.I walked to the containment sector, Gideon’s men watching me with a mix of wariness and amusement. I punched the release code, the heavy bolts retracting with a groan.Torin and Vane were on their feet instantly. Vane’s eyes locked onto me, but they didn't linger. They drifted past me to the corridor where Gideon and his crew were currently arguing over how to patch a plasma-welder with duct tape.Vane’s nostrils flared, his lip curling in a snarl."Why is this human filth still on our ship, Eloise? They are scavengers and thieves. Throw them overboard and be done with it!"He made to push past me, his shoulders tensed to collide with Gideon, but I stepped in his path, slamming my palm against his chest.I didn't budge."Stop," I said, my voice quiet but laced with the
