And then the cycle would begin anew. Leaving the woman in the snow—she had finally subsided into an immobile hump—they ran toward the station. They almost collided with a solid wall of people who blocked the wrought-iron gate which normally would be unbolted and guarded by a Patrolman with a torch. Now the gate was half-closed and a bunch of people inside the station were apparently trying to close it completely, while the people outside were just as determined to keep it open and to push through. Shouts and curses filled the air. The pristine snow was being trampled into a filthy slush that sent some people flying off their feet. Children were crying, women wailing. From behind Svetlana and Andrei came the unmistakable rattle and hiss of the approaching kosmops horde.

I said. "You look like trouble," she added. "I've been told." She grunted and handed me the key. Transaction complete. Best landlord I've ever had, and the only one, but still. --- The market district of Stonewillow is louder, cheaper, and considerably more honest than the residential quarters where families like the Ragnars maintain their minor dignity. I spend the first three mornings of my new residency doing exactly what the System demands — completing missions before sunrise, using the empty alley behind the noodle shop as my training ground — and then walking through the market as it wakes up, learning its geography, its rhythms, its gossip.

" … The next day, I booked a flight to Emerald Rise. Standing on their streets, surrounded by strangers and unfamiliar faces, I felt like I could finally breathe again. 'So, as it turns out, it isn't so bad to travel alone after all.' I pulled out the travel itinerary I had carefully prepared and explored the place like any ordinary tourist. When I got tired, I'd stop and listen to people around me tell their stories. Only then did I realize—everyone in this world carried their own burdens. Around a corner, I unexpectedly ran into Elias. I froze for a moment, then walked right past him like a stranger. He grabbed my arm, so I turned back. His eyes were red. He stared at me with that familiar, desperate tenderness until I frowned and tried to pull my arm away. Slowly and carefully, he let go—then gave me a smile that he probably thought looked gentle.

If they knew what we were doing, it could destroy our careers. "We need you to go with us to the church," said Stonewall as he was already calm from our confrontation. "You seem to know a lot about that place, been spending a lot of time there lately. You got a problem with it?" Stonewall was still rubbing the wrong way as he walked towards the door. Sergeant Gulbrandsen stood as a barrier between us until I nodded that I would be fine. I was going to have to get in the same car with this asshole. This was just going to make my freaking day. It was a quiet ten-minute ride to Potters' House. Stonewall swiped through his phone until he found the song he was looking for. Everybody wants to go to Heaven was playing - Albert King.

June followed with her nose scrunched up and with the footsteps of the guards behind her beating on her eardrums. Their journey came to a halt in front of a single old mahogany door that was pushed open with two straight faced guards guarding it. Jason pushed through and into the airless, dim room. The room was empty save for a squeaky wooden chair and a dirty desk in front of it. There, silent and slouched on the chair was Gorah. Shirtless and with his head bowed, fingers interloked and the table before him. He didn't move them due to the silver cuffs blanketing his wrists. He heard his captor come in but he didn't bother lifting his head. June let her eyes scan the tiny room that was in desperate need of a window. It walls held chipped, dampened brown paint. Big soldier ants scurried across the concrete floor, she immediately felt sorry for Gorah. Williams was stood beside the chair that contained the rogue alpha, a familiar briefcase on the table. The alpha took his stand on the opposite side of the dirty table, his Luna a metre or two behind him.

With a sound that shook the very foundations of the earth, the station—a mile-long city of steel—crashed into the ocean less than five miles from their platform. The impact created a second, smaller wave and a pillar of steam that rose thousands of feet into the air. The station didn't sink immediately. Because of its Pneumatic Compartments (air-filled sections designed to keep it afloat), the wreckage sat in the water like a burning, skeletal island. "Thorne is in there," Elara said, standing up. Her hair was matted with salt, and the violet sparks in her eyes were now a steady, piercing flame. "He’s in the core."

"Fine. Keep him safe. I swear, if he comes back with even a single scratch..." "He won't," Kael promised. "I'll carry him." "And no sugar! He gets hyperactive!" Jackson shouted before the call cut out. "Too late," Julian licked orange dust off his fingers. "Let's go," Nova said. "The compass is pulling." They picked the rusty lock of the service gate and descended into the station. It was breathtaking. The Ghost Station was a time capsule. The curved ceilings were covered in beautiful emerald and cream Guastavino tiles. Elegant brass chandeliers hung from the arches, covered in decades of dust. It was dead silent.

I swallowed hard, realizing that my mouth was dry. I found myself backed up against the wall in my room, Declan impossibly close to me. "I can't wait to see you in your swimsuit." He told me, his warm breath fanning my neck as he whispered in my ear. The action sent chills all over my body. I was suddenly painfully aware that I was still topless, and regained some of my senses. "Declan! Get out of here, and let her change!" Talia scorned, tapping her foot in the doorway. "Yeah Declan, give the girl some privacy!" Cian appeared behind her. "Everybody out! I would like to change in peace." I scolded all of them. They piled out into the hallway, and I shut and locked the door behind them.

In the police headquarters of all the police stations in the New City district of the state, Sheriff Stone Stanley, well-kitted in his sheriff uniform, elegant, tall, young, and average muscular, walked into the long horizontal Hall heading directly to the lane that leads to offices. All the police officers stood unconsciously looking at him while he walked in like one viewed in a slow-motion manner.

“I cleaned. I wrote. I waited.” “I painted. I cried. I healed.” “That’s all I needed to hear.” “I’m coming back full,” she said. “You better be,” he said, “because we’ve got a whole new life to paint.” ⸻ The Train Station Union Station was chaos—children dragging backpacks, businessmen yelling into Bluetooths, lovers holding each other like goodbyes could be postponed with tighter grips. Elena stood on the platform, ticket in one hand, sketchbook in the other.

"Station 14. No p**n." "Wouldn't dream of it." Who the hell wants to watch p**n in public? Station 14 is in the back corner, next to a fire exit that looks like it hasn't been opened since the nineties. I sit down and crack my knuckles. For the first time in twenty-four hours, the shaking in my hands stop. I don't use their browser. I boot the machine into a temporary Linux environment from the USB drive I keep on my keychain. The only piece of tech I didn't toss. It’s my lifeline.

“I’d love to see Bastin,” Stefan said with a smile. But his phone rang again. He let out a heavy sigh and pulled it out. “Sorry.” Stefan stepped outside to take the call. Serena finished the paperwork. She watched through the glass door as Stefan remained on the phone. Almost a minute later, he rushed back in, slightly breathless. “I’m sorry.” “The new chairman of Stonewatch Rehabilitation Network is here in Rexam, and he wants to meet me now,” Stefan said, pressing a hand to his chest. “This is very important to me. I need to go.”

“Normally I would suggest going out for lunch, but I don’t think you or I would be comfortable with that in your current state of dress.” I resisted making a snide comment. This man was really starting to grate on me. Sure, he was gorgeous, but he was also an absolute dick. As much as I was glad we weren’t going to another fancy place, I was also a little unsure about going to his home. It wasn’t exactly professional…was it? Mr Stone’s building turned out to be yet another glass type structure not far from Waterloo Station. However, I couldn’t help but feel a little excited when he pressed the 17th floor button. From that height there was sure to be amazing views of the London skyline.

The station was open at all hours of the day, even as no trains ran through during the early hours of the night and the early hours of the next morning, and Lila had never understood why, until she had heard the story of how a woman had been murdered at the door of the train station and that the woman had been running to the police station from a stalker where she had been caught there, tripping over the steps of the station where her body was discovered the next day, the entire incident caught on the station cameras. The station had originally stayed open like that for about a year, until it had begun adhering to normal closing times once more, like all other establishments, but then, the grafitti had begun, with employees coming in the morning to vandalised cameras and painted walls mocking them for their decision. Afterwards, even as no trains ran after midnight, the train station remained open and a haven for Lila in that very moment. She knew that if she pressed the bell, than the probably one employee, who had been unfairly saddled with this massively unfair shift, would come out, giver her the ticket that she requested, and then would usher her back out into the cold to wait on the platforms.

I gave them a small, strained smile before slipping out into the hallway, the echo of my footsteps fading as I disappeared from their glances down the staircase. The station was a small, brick building with a faded sign that read “GreyStone Police Department ” in peeling gold letters. I pushed open the door, the bell above jangling loudly. Inside, the air smelled of ink, old paper, and a faint hint of disinfectant. A middle‑aged lower rank officer with a neatly trimmed moustache looked up from his ledger. “Afternoon,” he said, his voice flat but polite. “Hi,” I replied, sliding the envelope across the counter. “I’d like to send this, please.”
