All Chapters of My Rival Alpha Knows I'm an Omega: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

No one lowered their weapon.Lucien Cross stood in the middle of the underground garage as though bullets no longer concerned him.Behind him, the elevator doors remained open.Behind us, the sniper still watched from somewhere above.We were trapped between two enemies.And yet Lucien looked strangely unconcerned."I don't want Silverfang anymore."His eyes remained fixed on the silver ring on my hand."I want what the Keeper protects."The words echoed through the garage.I slowly stood.Ronan caught my arm."Careful.""I'm not walking into a trap.""You already have."Lucien smiled faintly."The difference is that you finally know it."I took one step forward."You've destroyed families.""You've stolen companies.""You've framed innocent people.""And now you expect me to believe none of it mattered?""It mattered."He folded his hands behind his back."But only because every move brought us here."He nodded toward the ring."The Keeper."My fingers unconsciously tightened."You k

The mechanical voice rolled through the underground complex like distant thunder.ORION CORE ONLINE.PRIMARY KEEPER CONFIRMED.PHASE TWO INITIATED.The floor trembled.Not violently.Rhythmically.As though an enormous heartbeat had awakened somewhere beneath Silverfang Tower.Every light in the garage flickered.The emergency lamps shifted from white to deep blue.Thin lines of light appeared beneath the concrete floor, spreading outward in perfect geometric patterns.They weren't cracks.They were circuits.Ancient circuits.Marcus stared in disbelief."...The entire building..."Dr. Dawson finished the sentence."...was constructed around something."The vibration grew stronger.Dust drifted from the ceiling.Far above us, muffled alarms echoed through the tower.Every elevator had stopped.Every security door had sealed.Every computer in the building had gone dark.Marcus looked at his laptop.The screen had frozen.Then, without warning, the Silverfang logo disappeared.In its p

The chamber fell completely silent.No one moved.No one breathed.The sentence on the first page seemed to pull every eye toward the journal resting in my hands.If you are reading this, then humanity has failed the first test.The ink had faded from black to brown.Whoever had written those words had been dead for generations.Yet somehow...It felt as though they had been waiting for me.The pages turned on their own.Not quickly.Carefully.As though invisible hands understood the weight of every word.A new page settled before me.At the top was a date.March 14, 1827.Nearly two centuries ago.The handwriting was elegant but firm.To the Keeper who comes after me—If Orion has awakened, then our greatest fear has become reality.Someone has mistaken power for ownership.I frowned.Power for ownership.The words sounded strangely familiar.Across the chamber, Sebastian smiled faintly.He remembered them.I continued reading.The purpose of the Keeper is not to rule.The purpose o

"My brother."The words barely left Sebastian's lips.Yet they struck the Orion Core harder than the emergency alarms echoing through its walls.No one spoke.No one moved.On every monitor, the lead helicopter circled Silverfang Tower with slow, deliberate precision.The man standing in the open doorway never looked away from the camera.He wasn't wearing body armor.He wasn't surrounded by guards.He simply stood there with one hand resting against the frame, as though he had arrived for a long-awaited reunion.Marcus stared at the screen."You have a brother?"Sebastian didn't answer immediately.His eyes never left the man's face."I had one."Gabriel quietly corrected him."You still do."A muscle tightened in Sebastian's jaw."No.""The man on that helicopter stopped being my brother a very long time ago."The helicopter banked gracefully around the tower.For the first time, I saw the man's face clearly.He looked remarkably like my father.The resemblance wasn't exact.His hai

Three slow knocks echoed through the Orion Core.Knock.Knock.Knock.The sound wasn't loud.It didn't need to be.Every person in the chamber froze as if the steel vault itself had begun speaking.My heart pounded.For a brief, impossible moment, I was back in my office.The conference room.The missing suppressant.The heat burning beneath my skin.A silver injector sliding beneath the door.Then—Three knocks."Open the door."The memory hit with startling clarity.I looked at Ronan.He was already looking at me.He remembered it too.Neither of us said a word.We didn't have to.Sebastian slowly exhaled."He's here."Marcus glanced nervously between the vault doors and the security monitors."Shouldn't we... lock something?"Gabriel gave a weary smile."You can't lock the Orion Core.""Why not?""Because it was never built to keep people out."He looked toward the enormous steel doors."It was built to decide who may enter."The knocks came again.Three more.Patient.Unhurried.N
