How I Met My Mates
I screamed, but the sound was drowned out by the roar of ten thousand minds waking up simultaneously inside my head.
Through the haze of blinding white light, I saw the network—a massive, web-like grid connecting ten thousand glowing golden nodes.

Not today, Lyra, I roared internally.
I channeled the raw, silver power of the Sovereign mark, throwing my consciousness across the network to sever her connection.
