SERENA POVI stared at the photograph on my phone until the edges blurred.My biological mother, Elena, stood beside a man I'd never seen. Behind them loomed the old Blackwood estate. Beneath the image, four words glowed in white:ASK KAEL WHO HE IS.My fingers went cold. "Kael."He took the phone from my hand. For several seconds he said nothing, and I watched his face for the storm. Anger. Frenzy. Something I'd have to talk him down from.It wasn't any of those. It was recognition, and that was worse."You know him," I said."Yes."My heart sank. "Who is he?"Silence."Kael.""I've seen him before. When I was a child.""That is not an answer. That is a footnote.""It's the only thing I have, Serena." His voice wasn't defensive. It was frayed, like a man dragging a memory up from a well that had been sealed for years. "I remember him coming to the estate. I remember my father arguing with him."My stomach tightened. "About what?""You."The air left my lungs. "Me?""My father told hi

SERENA POVI stared at the photograph until the screen blurred.My mother, Elena, stood beside a man I had never seen. Behind them rose the old Blackwood estate. Beneath the image, white letters glared up at me:ASK KAEL WHO HE IS.I lowered the phone slowly. Kael stood beside me, his hand still resting over my stomach, but his attention had shifted entirely to my face."What happened?"I turned the screen toward him. His eyes moved across the photograph and stopped. Everything in his expression changed. Not Frenzy. Not anger. Recognition."You know him." It wasn't a question. Kael said nothing. I stepped out of his reach. "Who is he?""Serena...""No." I held the phone between us like evidence. "You know exactly who he is.""He shouldn't be there." Kael rubbed his forehead, and the gesture looked older than he was. "I've only seen him once. When I was young. He came to our estate with my father."The room turned colder. "Why?""I don't know.""You don't know.""I was a child, Serena.

SERENA POVVictor's laughter dissolved into the dark like smoke down a drain.I stayed rooted where I stood, staring at the doorway he'd vanished through, my pulse still sprinting. Kael stood beside me, close enough that I could feel the heat coming off his arm. Neither of us moved."You were right," he said at last."I'm going to need you to be more specific. I'm right about a lot of things."That earned me the smallest twitch of his mouth. "We shouldn't chase him.""He wants us to.""Exactly."The lights stuttered back on. The room looked exactly as it had before, except for the Victor-shaped absence in it. I looked down at the photograph crushed in my fist, at the words scrawled across the back.WE FAILED ONCE.'Failed at what? And who is we?'"Kael." I kept my voice level. "When Victor said you had something to do with why I survived, what did he mean?"His face tightened. "I don't know.""You really don't.""I really don't."I searched his eyes for the flinch, the slide away, the

SERENA POVKael didn't speak during the drive back to Blackwood territory, and neither did I.His mother's name on Adrian's lips had changed something between us. Not because she'd been exposed. Because Kael was starting to see that the person he'd blamed for years might have been shaped by someone else's fear too. I watched the dark trees slide past the window and kept my hands folded in my lap so they wouldn't shake.When we reached the estate, he got out first and stopped dead at the entrance, one hand braced on the stone as if the house might push back."You don't have to come in.""I'm aware. I've been aware for forty minutes. I rehearsed my refusal speech in the car.""And?""It was beautiful. Very moving. I'm coming anyway."The corner of his mouth lifted. "I figured."I slid my hand into his. A month ago he would have dragged me behind his shoulder like a shield. Tonight he let me walk beside him, and that small thing nearly undid me.Smoke met us before we reached the study.

SERENA POVI woke with my hand resting over my stomach, and for a few seconds the world had no edges. No name, no place, no weight. Then everything came crashing back. The Root. Victor. My mother. Kael's mother. The conditioning records. Adrian. And the sentence that had followed me into sleep like a stray cat.The Frenzy wasn't a curse. I turned toward Kael. The pillow beside me was cold.'Of course. He's gone off to brood somewhere dramatic.'I found him downstairs in the training room, standing alone before a punching bag that had clearly lost the argument. His knuckles were bruised purple. He didn't hear me at the door."You've been hitting that poor thing."He glanced over, guilty as a boy caught with cookie crumbs. "A little.""A little? There's a dent in it the shape of your feelings.""I was angry.""At what?"He looked down at his hands. "Everything."I leaned against the wall and folded my arms. "And did hitting it help?""No.""Then you're learning. Slowly. Painfully. But

SERENA POBVictor vanished beyond the gates, but the tension he left behind stayed, thick as smoke in a closed room. Nobody spoke. Kael's jaw worked silently. Adrian stared at the empty road like it owed him money.Then Nadia's phone rang.She answered, and I watched her face change in slow stages, the way a sky darkens before rain. "What happened?" I asked.She lowered the phone. "The council has issued an emergency order."Kael's expression hardened. "Against whom?""You."My stomach dropped through the floor. Nadia went on, her voice flat. "They've declared you temporarily unfit to lead Blackwood territory."Kael didn't flinch. "On what evidence?""Your Frenzy."Of course. I nearly laughed, and it came out as something closer to a cough. After everything we had uncovered, after the files and the photographs and Gabriel's recording, they were still waving the same tired lie like a flag.Nadia handed him the document. "They claim the Root incident proves you're becoming unstable."Ka

SERENA POVI should have been thinking about K-00.Instead, I was thinking about Adrian.That was the problem with my life. Even when everything around me was collapsing, my heart still found room for the wrong person.He had asked me to meet him before Kael and I left for the old facility. I knew I shouldn't go. I went anyway, and I hated myself the whole drive there.Adrian was waiting in his car when I arrived. He looked at me for a long moment, and the silence pressed against the windshield like a hand."You shouldn't be here.""I know, I know. You could at least pretend to be surprised.""I'm not surprised. That's the problem." He stepped out and shut the door, his eyes searching mine. "Then why did you come?"I looked away. Because I missed him. Because despite everything, some traitorous part of me still wanted the comfort I found with him."I don't know," I whispered."That's not an answer, Serena.""It's the only one I have. Take it or leave it.""You're still with Kael.""Ye

SERENA POVThe knocking continued.Three slow knocks. Then silence. Three more.My whole body went cold. I stared at the floor beneath my shoes. "That's coming from underneath us."Kael moved to the center of the room. "Everyone back."Nadia pulled the remaining guards away from the doors. I couldn't move. My adoptive father's blood was still drying on my hands, the photograph of me and Adrian still glowed on the phone, and now something was politely knocking beneath my house, like a guest who knew exactly when to arrive.Kael crouched and pressed his palm to the floorboards. Another knock answered him, and his eyes narrowed. "There's a hollow space underneath."Nadia raised her scanner. "This estate isn't supposed to have a basement.""Apparently someone forgot to tell the architect."A weak laugh escaped me before I could stop it. It died quickly, and I looked toward my father's body. "Whoever killed him knew about this place.""And they wanted us to find it." Kael stood. "Stay behi

SERENA POVThe gun was pointed directly at my chest.For several seconds, I forgot how to breathe. My mother stood across the room, the woman who had held me through every fever, who had taught me to cook, who had once told me that love without money was worthless. The woman who had cried when I left home. Her finger rested on the trigger, and her hand was shaking.'This isn't real. It can't be.'"Mom?" The word barely left my throat."I told you I was sorry."Kael stepped in front of me before I could blink. "Lower the weapon."She looked at him, and something bitter crossed her face. "You're exactly like your father."His jaw tightened. "And what does that mean?""It means you always protect her before you understand why she's in danger.""Maybe I'd understand faster if you weren't aiming a gun at her.""Maybe you'd understand faster if you stopped talking."K-00 shifted in the corner, and Kael snapped toward him. "Stay back."K-00 raised both hands. "I'm not your enemy."My mother

SERENA POVI stared at the photograph until my fingers went numb.Gabriel Vale. Adrian's father. The man whose archives had helped us expose Lunar Shield, the man Adrian had spent years believing was trying to tear the organization down. And here he was, standing beside me when I was a child. Before Adrian came back into my life. Before I knew Kael existed. Before I understood anything at all.'How long have I been living inside a lie?'"That's my father."Adrian's voice came from behind me. I turned. He had arrived with Nadia's security team, his face already tight from the sight of the ruined facility. His eyes dropped to the photograph in my hand, and he stopped walking."Where did you get that?"I held it out. "Your father. Apparently."He took it, and the color slowly drained from his face. "That isn't possible.""That's what everyone keeps telling me. I'm starting to think it's the family motto."He turned the photograph over, his thumb tracing the edge. "I've never seen this."
