POV: Alexander"Shut your mouth, Diana," I snarled, raising the pistol directly at her chest."Alex, look at the screen!" Diana shouted, pointing her key card at the glowing tactical cuff on my arm. "Look at the genetic timestamp on that broadcast! It was encoded six hours before we even left the submarine!""I don't care about a timestamp!" I roared, my hand shaking on the grip, the red emergency lights of the maintenance tunnel reflecting off the sweat and blood on my skin.Elena didn't step back. She didn't flinch away from me. She pushed past my shoulder, her body stepping right between the barrel of my gun and Diana."Elena, move!" I growled, trying to grab her waist to pull her behind me, but she spun around and shoved both of her hands flat against my bare, bloodied chest."Look at me!" she yelled, her voice raw, echoing down the concrete rail tunnel. Her silver-tinted eyes locked onto mine, wet with tears, but holding a fierce, unyielding intensity. "I don't care about the bro

POV: Elena"Leo, get back behind me!" I screamed.I lunged forward, my arms wrapping tightly around my son's chest to yank him back, but his small body felt impossibly heavy, completely anchored to the steel deck. His face wasn't showing any fear. His dark eyes stared directly at Nathaniel Vance, entirely blank of emotion."Do you hear your mother, boy?" Nathaniel chuckled softly, though his knuckles tightened on his silver cane until they turned white. "Step back into the corner before I activate the charge.""You can't activate the charge, Grandfather," Leo said. His soft, seven-year-old voice carried a terrifying, flat calm that made the hair on my arms stand straight up. "The charge was disarmed the moment the root authority reverted to my marrow."Alexander didn't hesitate. He didn't waste time asking questions. He moved like a predatory animal, stepping in front of me and Leo, his massive frame shielding us completely. In one fluid motion, he drove his sidearm straight toward Na

POV: Alexander"Get away from her!" I roared, shoving Sarah violently back against the frigate's iron railing.I turned around and grabbed Elena's shoulders, my hands trembling as I brought her close to my chest. Rain lashed against us on the open deck of the ship, but I didn't feel the cold. I only felt the terrifying heat radiating off her skin.Underneath her pale wrists, bright cobalt-blue lines were expanding fast, creeping up her forearms like electric web pattern veins. They matched the exact blue circuit marks crawling up my own neck."Alex..." Elena gasped, her hands coming up to clutch my bare, bloody chest. Her fingers were burning hot against my skin. "It feels like my blood is boiling. What is happening to me?""Nothing is happening to you!" I growled, pulling her face up to mine, my mouth slamming onto hers in a fierce, brutal, possessive kiss. I kissed her like I could burn the poison out of her system, tasting the salt of her tears and the metallic edge of raw adrenali

POV: Alexander"Five minutes!" I roared, my boots slamming against the steel catwalk as I ran.I held the heavy glass incubator under my left arm like a football, my right hand holding the pistol out, sweeping the dark green corridor ahead of us."Alex, the doors locked behind us!" Elena yelled, running right at my shoulder with the second baby's pod cradled against her chest. "Where are we even going?""To the bridge!" I barked. "There's an override terminal in the main vault!""The main vault is sealed from the outside, Dad!" Leo shouted, his small legs pumping fast to keep up with us. The cobalt-blue web on his face was flaring bright, lighting up the cold steel walls. "The self-destruct is coming from the reactor core!""Then we blow the vault door!" I growled, stopping hard at the end of the catwalk in front of a massive, five-ton circular titanium hatch.I set the incubator down gently against the bulkhead, grabbed Elena by her waist, and pulled her flush into my side. I didn't

POV: Elena"Alex, stop!" I screamed, pulling against his grip with everything I had left.His hand felt like a cold iron cuff around my wrist. The skin of his palm was burning hot, but his eyes were completely dead, bright silver without a single fleck of the dark brown I loved."I asked you a question," he said. His voice was flat, totally devoid of emotion, like a machine running a cold diagnostic loop. "Identify yourself.""I'm your wife!" Tears burst from my eyes, freezing instantly against my cheeks as the howling arctic wind whipped my hair across my face. "Look at me, Alex! Look at Leo! Look at the babies!"He didn't look at the incubators. He didn't even glance toward Leo, who was standing three feet away with his small hands clenched into tight fists. Alexander just stared at my face, his silver eyes scanning my nose, my mouth, and my jawline like he was reading text on a glass monitor."File not found," he muttered softly.He didn't shove me. He didn't hit me. He just opened
