For several seconds, nobody moved.The words remained on every screen.THE FIRST PAIR HAS REMEMBERED.THE AGE OF CONTROL IS OVER.Then every monitor shattered.Glass rained across the chamber.Rei instinctively ducked, and Dominic pulled her against him, shielding her head with his arm.The sound was deafening.When it finally stopped, the room was almost completely dark.Only the First Bond on Rei's wrist remained illuminated.Aiden stood several feet away, watching the darkness.Liora's voice whispered inside Rei's mind.It's beginning.Rei swallowed.“What is?”Everything they buried.Rei looked at Dominic.“Did you hear that?”He nodded.“Liora?”“Yes.”Dominic's expression softened.“Is she okay?”Rei almost smiled.“She says everything they buried is beginning.”Aiden turned toward them.“She isn't wrong.”Rei stepped closer.“What happens now?”Aiden looked toward the ceiling.“Blackthorn is collapsing.”“That doesn't sound like a bad thing.”“It isn't.”He paused.“But people

Rei fell.There was no ground beneath her.No walls.No light.Only darkness.She reached for Dominic instinctively, but her fingers closed around empty air.“Dominic!”Her voice disappeared into the void.Then something caught her.Not a hand.A memory.She suddenly saw him at eight years old.Dominic stood in front of her in the white laboratory, his tiny body trembling with fear.“Don't touch her!”The memory changed.Dominic at sixteen.Standing outside a hockey rink.Watching Rei from across the parking lot.He didn't know why she seemed familiar.He only knew that when she walked away, something inside him hurt.Another memory.Dominic at the academy.The first time they actually spoke.His irritated expression.Her anger.The strange electricity between them.Another.The night he had found her during her first heat.The fear in his eyes.The way he had fought his instincts instead of allowing them to control him.Another.Their first real conversation afterward.His apology.H

For three seconds, nobody moved.The underground chamber remained frozen beneath the roar of the machinery, but the sound was no longer coming from the vault. It was coming from everywhere.Every screen around them had gone white.Then the images began.A laboratory.A frightened teenage boy strapped to a chair.A woman begging someone to stop.A Blackthorn technician calmly recording numbers while an Omega screamed behind reinforced glass.A little girl sitting alone on a metal table, her knees pulled against her chest.Rei recognized the room before the memory even shifted.Blackthorn.Her Blackthorn.Her breath caught.The next image showed her at six years old.She was smaller than Rei remembered herself being, her dark hair falling around her face, her bare feet not touching the floor as she sat on the examination table.A scientist stood in front of her.“What do you want?”The little girl stared at him.“I want everyone to be free.”The image froze.Across the world, millions o

The doors slammed shut with such force that the entire chamber shook.Rei spun around.“Open them!”Aiden was already moving toward the entrance.He pressed both hands against the stone.Nothing happened.Caelan stepped beside him and drove his shoulder into the door.The impact sent a shockwave through the chamber.The door did not move.“It's sealed,” Caelan growled.Dominic pulled Rei behind him.The creature stood approximately twenty feet away.It had the shape of a man, but there was something profoundly wrong about it. Its skin was almost translucent, its veins carrying a faint silver light beneath the surface. Its hair was white, though its face appeared neither young nor old.Its eyes remained fixed on Rei.Not hungry.Not angry.Interested.That somehow made it worse.“What are you?” Dominic demanded.The creature slowly turned its head toward him.“The question is not what I am.”Its voice was strangely calm.“The question is what you are becoming.”Dominic stepped forward.

“Dominic!”Rei lunged for him.Her fingers closed around empty air.He was still standing directly in front of her, only a few feet away, but the connection between them had vanished so completely that it felt as though an entire universe had opened between them.Dominic stared at her.His eyes were wide.“Rei?”She reached for his hand.He let her take it.Warm.Solid.Real.But the bond was gone.The silver mark that had connected them was nothing more than a faint scar.Rei's heart began pounding.“No.”Dominic squeezed her hand.“I’m here.”“But I can't feel you.”“You don't have to.”His voice was steady.“You can see me.”Rei shook her head.“You don't understand.”“I do.”He lifted their joined hands.“You're still holding mine.”The words stopped her.The silver figure watched them.He seemed almost disappointed.“That was supposed to hurt more.”Rei looked at him.“You don't understand what you did.”“Oh, I understand perfectly.”“You think the bond is what connects us.”The
