Large red numbers counting down. **04:47:23** **04:47:22** **04:47:21** Four hours and forty-seven minutes. "We have less time than he said," Adeline breathed. "He wanted us to take longer searching," I realized. "Wanted us to arrive with less time to work with. Maybe even arrive too late." "Can you defuse it in four hours?" I asked the techs.

DARKEST HOURS CHAPTER SIX JOHN PAUL'S POV ********************************************* I was actually enjoying the sports news at the brisk of dawn when immediately my eyes set on my angel, i was overwhelmed by the plethora of sensual thoughts and utter bemusement.

As i absently gazed at her through the lace curtain, my lips fell apart and i started feeling as if i was about to climax and my dick hard in my boxers.

I said. He continued like I hadn't said anything. "... helps. Some battles last for days. Some for weeks. If we are lucky, hours. The shortest battle in the history of Neradia lasted for twelve hours..."he paused and tilted his head slightly. "Actually, the shortest so far was a minute. Maybe even less." I put two and two together and narrowed my eyes at him. "I wouldn't call it 'war', if you just waltzed in a rained fire on them all without giving them a fighting chance."

Chapter forty five / barriers Darling Kate’s pov The journey into the human dead zones took nearly twelve hours of driving through desolate, abandoned backroads where the presence of the supernatural world completely faded into nothingness. By the time the truck finally groaned to a halt, the sun had dipped below the horizon, burying the landscape in a thick, protective blanket of night.

“Mira is asking for both of you. The seismic readings have changed in the last hour. The pulse rhythm has become regular. Nyx says it is like a heartbeat. Steady and getting stronger and approximately four hours from the surface.” Four hours. I looked at Kael. He looked back at me. “Together?” he said. “Together,” I said. We walked into the fortress side by side as the sky behind us moved from black to the particular deep blue that comes just before the light changes everything. Four hours. The world had been waiting four hundred years. It could wait four more hours. But only just. Because beneath our feet, patient and enormous and finally awake after four centuries of damaged sleep, the Fou

“We’ve been dancing to his tune for two days, chasing shadows, playing defense. That ends today. We make our stand at the waterfall. When he shows up with Freya...” “We burn his army to the ground,” George growled. “Damn right.” I turned to Henry. “When’s moonrise?” “Sunset. Around seven. Fourteen hours.” Fourteen hours. Fourteen hours to get ready. Fourteen hours until he tries to take her from me. “S Sarah,” I said, “get the non-combatants into the safe rooms. Kids, pregnant wolves, elders, injured basement, three days of supplies, seal it tight. Nobody opens those doors until we give the all-clear.”

“All of them.” Darius shook his head. “We have 50 warriors. He has 300, plus the fortress. It’s suicide. The Council’s already—” “The Council can _choke_,” Kieran and I said at the same time. We looked at each other. And something clicked. Mate. Alpha. Luna. _Unit_. “How long do we have?” I asked. “Message says sundown,” Darius said. “6 hours. Then he starts executing. One pup every hour.”

“Forty-eight hours. I’ll figure out what she is.” “What she IS?” I echoed. “Hello? I’m literally just a girl who was trying to pay rent. That’s it.” The gray-braided elder pointed at me. “No human survives an alpha command without kneeling.” I crossed my arms. “Maybe your WiFi was down.” Damon shot me a glare. “Stop talking.” “Then stop handing them reasons to kill me.” One elder stood, eyes burning. “Forty-eight hours is too long. The Bloodmoon Pack will sense the disturbance by dawn.”

“Yes.” She rubbed her forehead. “You move fast.” “The prison collapse timer continues.” Lyra sighed again. “Right.” The alien raised his hand. A holographic image of the target system appeared again. A distant star glowing red. “The failing prison is located here.” Adrian studied the map. “How far is it?” “Approximately four thousand light years.” Lyra blinked. “…Excuse me?” Adrian looked at the alien. “That would normally take thousands of years to travel.” The commander replied calmly.

"They crossed the southern plains border forty minutes ago. Full battle speed. Direct bearing on the Shatter-Peaks." Xander stood in the depot, grain chaff in his hair, his hands still raw from the ravine climb the night before, and looked at the western horizon through the open loading bay door. "How long," he said. "At their current speed," Sarah said. "Eighteen hours." Eighteen hours. Nine thousand refugees thirty-six hours out. A heavy armored division eighteen hours out. He did the math the way he'd been doing it all week, and the math didn't get easier with practice.
