Ark Dossier Book Novels & Stories

Silvano opened the grey case. He had shown me the contents the morning after Ciro brought it from the house — had laid everything out on the table and walked me through it with the patient thoroughness he brought to things he needed me to understand completely. I had read Vestri's authorization record. Had found my mother's name in it. Had sat with that for a long time in the specific way I sat with things that required more than a single passing — not breaking, not the dramatic collapse that the moment perhaps warranted from the outside, just the quiet sustained work of a person integrating something fundamental into an understanding of the world that had been built without it. My mother's

"Okay. But be careful. It's a chess game now. They are powerful in Russia for a reason." "I will," Lorenzo stood up. Left. THE NEXT MORNING - LORENZO'S OFFICE Morning sun hit Lorenzo's fancy office. Dante and Enzo Romano sat on the soft sofas. Lorenzo was signing papers at his desk. "Did you do the work?" Lorenzo asked. Deep voice. Didn't look up. "Hmm," Dante said. "I have all the info on the Volkovs. Ready to show." Dante stood up. Plugged a chip into the laptop. Connected it to the big screen on the wall.

And I was about to accuse the Beta of the Phoenix Pack of murder and treason. "Thank you all for coming on such short notice. I have discovered evidence of a conspiracy within our pack. Evidence that one of our own has been planning something that violates every law we hold sacred." I pulled out my tablet. Connected it to the large screen on the wall. "What you are about to see are files from Richard Henderson's private office. Files that document a decades-long plan to murder an innocent girl for personal gain." I displayed the first image. The file labeled Subject A with Dora's name. Gasps rippled through the room. I showed them the emails. The ritual plans. The list of participants. With

Mara’s grip tightened around her blade. “You know her?” Daniel asked. The man closed the case. “Everyone who kept proper records knows her. Blood therapist. Bond severance subject. New medical authority. Very impressive for someone who still believes consent can survive war.” My skin went cold. “Who are you?” I asked. “Dr. Alaric Voss.” Caleb sucked in a breath. I glanced at him. He whispered, “He wrote the old wolf-core trauma manuals. He was listed as dead after the border war.”

Zara listened without interrupting, which for Zara meant she was filing everything at a speed that most people couldn't match in conversation. "It's a network," Zara said coldly, her dark eyes scanning the perimeter of the café, noting every student walking past their table. "At least that's what I think. Davan operates on a separate ledger than the people who cornered us in the alley. But he isn't a shadow. He leaves footprints." Zara shifted slightly in her chair. "Is there anything else you're not telling us?" Caelith hesitated for a fraction of a second. Then, reaching down into the bag, she pulled out Orin’s ancient text, setting the heavy, dark leather volume flat onto the center of th

In his lap, the Protocollo Nero dossier lay open. A map of connections, allies, enemies, possible traitors, and dormant accounts in tax havens. Each page, a piece of his empire. Each red mark, a target. —Did you get any sleep? —asked Isabela, walking in with a silk coat and her hair still damp. Alejandro closed the dossier and slid it back into the safe. —Sleep is for those without enemies at court —he replied, without looking at her. Isabela walked closer, and without saying a word, placed a cup of espresso on the table.

Duk ran his finger over a small map of the world . The map was slowly but surely covered with lines, dots and dates. In the light of a green lamp standing on a wooden table, book dust gleamed in the air. Stacks of worn books covered most of the table. Duk had been sitting in the library for more than an hour. He had translated the ancient scrolls in the werewolf archive long ago. The history of people contained a lot of information, both fictional and true.

If she couldn’t believe what she was hearing before, this was the proof. As if that wasn’t enough, on the desk, there was also a file labeled ‘Henri Ascott’. Sierra opened the file and there were all these documents involving her dad. There was a copy of her dad’s birth certificate, cut-out articles about him in the newspaper, titles and deeds under his name, and lastly, there was an invitation to Sierra’s 18th birthday party and a blueprint of the Plaza Hotel. Sierra’s mouth fell open in shock. She put the file back and her hand reached for the drawer. Just as she suspected, the gun wasn’t there. But inside that drawer was a name plaque: Colton Anderson Rhodes.

The room, once a battlefield, now became a refuge for quiet contemplation and the solemnity of a vow made in the face of loss. The drawer beckoned, its secrets poised to unveil the depths of Draxler's malevolence. Opening it, I discovered the last book—a chronicle of atrocities committed under Draxler's command. Each page was a testament to the pain inflicted upon the innocent, and the weight of responsibility settled upon my shoulders like a mantle. In the solitude of the room, surrounded by the echoes of a fallen leader and the revelations of a damning truth, I pondered my next steps. The urgency to deliver this information to Sergio, to expose Draxler's dark deeds, fueled a determination

A paper book rested in his hands while multiple surveillance feeds played silently across the large screen before him, displaying views of both the interior and exterior of the bunker. After the Frostfall, without the burden of work, his life settled into a steady rhythm. He had grown fond of reading. Some books had come from the library. Others had belonged to Severin. The one in his hands now was "Ordinary World" by Lucas Wayworth. Reading it in this era carried a strange weight. The ordinary days described in its pages were gone forever. The ordinary world itself now lay buried beneath endless ice and snow. Yet one thing remained unchanged. Human beings, resilient by nature, would struggl
