Novel & Cerita Albedo Alien X

But Caleb’s eyes, still glowing with the residue of the lightning, saw the truth. "Visual overlay: Active," Caleb’s voice was a low, mechanical growl. "Scanning Target: Xuan. Subject is 40% organic, 60% high-density Void energy. He isn't a cultivator; he’s a living portal." "So, you found the truth, my wayward disciple," Xuan spoke, his voice echoing not from his mouth, but from the very stones of the hall. He didn't look at Caleb; his eyes were fixed on Scarlett with a terrifying, fatherly pride. "And you brought the Alpha back to me. How efficient."

Electricity hummed faintly through concealed wiring, but the room still smelled of earth and iron. To my right sat the Alpha of the Bloodborn, Idris. Broad shoulders, lazy grin, black hair tied at his nape. Cocky and always amused. To my left, the Alpha of the Wolfgang territories, Markus. Blond, rigid and disciplined. His pack guarded the northern lines. Across from us sat the Council. Seven of them. Ageless in appearance. One of them leaned forward, his hair and beard were unnaturally white, as if drained of all color, yet his face bore no wrinkles. His silver eyes fixed on me. “It concerns your uncle, Alpha Xander.”

I didn’t know why they were after me, but I knew that if they caught me, I was done for. I kept running until I accidentally bumped into someone and fell to the ground. I looked up and saw a huge male alien with dark green skin and antennae on his head. His eyes were pure black with no pupils. His hands looked normal, but his feet were also tentacles. He said something I didn’t understand and came closer. He grabbed my face and squeezed it. I just stared at him and didn’t say anything. I winced when he licked my cheek and smiled, revealing sharp, pointed teeth. He said something again, and the ones I had knocked down earlier approached him.

And I hoped and prayed to the moon goddess that my thoughts were right, for this one time. The Dawn Valley approached us, all in their wolf form. They were led by a dark brown wolf whose coat appeared almost black until the light of the sun hit it at an angle. All wolves had golden eyes, so I couldn’t tell if this was actually Sabrina or not, since she didn’t have the scent of an Alpha, but neither did any of their pack members. “Is that her?” I asked Axton, narrowing my eyes at the leader. Something about her seemed fishy.

Since the merge in Greenland, our connection had moved beyond the psychic—it was now a Hardwired Interface. He stepped onto the balcony, his presence casting a shadow that felt like a protective shield. Xander was no longer just the Alpha of the White Mane; he was the Living Core. He didn't wear a crown, but the silver runes etched into his skin—the map of the world’s new star-code—glowed faintly beneath his tactical gear. Every step he took was a command to the Earth itself.

The crown prince had the power to go wherever he wished. “Are those werewolves,” I questioned Valerian, gawking at some wolves whose furs had stripes of white and red. The big one sat on the grass, and the smaller ones were playing with her tail. His face turned serious for a moment but went relaxed when he looked out to see them. “No, Those are actual wolves. Nothing special to worry about,” he chuckled, pulling his head back into the carriage. “How can you tell the difference?” I asked again, trying to hide my confusion.

Alpha Lyra’s lips tipped up smugly, “When Valeria sent the word that you’d gotten Lilac’s location, I set to work. I have a family in my pack that has an unusual sort of ability. It’s similar to echo location, only they don’t need sound to map a place out. All they have to do is get close enough and they can sense the entire layout of an area. It took a few hours, but we managed to get most of the building without alerting the guards patrolling the place.” It was hard not to be a bit star struck. The speed at which her people moved was fucking astounding, and renewed some of my fragile hope that we’d actually get my mate back. “How is it you have people with such rare abilities? I can only i

Where Becky Everglade had stood moments ago, something else now occupied the center of the ruins. It rose slowly, unfolding itself from the wreckage. It was taller than any wolf Elise had ever seen. Its body was warped and asymmetrical, as though it had been forced into a shape that did not want to hold. Fur as black as pitch rippled across its back and shoulders, coarse and jagged, broken by veins of dull crimson light pulsing beneath the skin. Its arms were too long, its hands ending in claws that scraped against stone with every movement, each one curved and sharp enough to tear through steel.

Rai explained arrogantly. "Sorry—" he said dryly, "—I don't know anything about the Haltz Clan is because I live in the human world. My name is Albert... Albert Valentino. I'm also a vampire, to be precise—" "—a hybrid vampire, huh?" cut Rai. "How do you know?" asked Al confused. Rai raised his index finger and pointed it at Al, "Your skin… is too red." "Too... red...?" and Al immediately saw the color of his skin. "Is he color blind? My skin is obviously olive," he thought. However, a scream immediately stopped Al's thoughts.
