Lena whispered quietly, “The network selected him.” Inside the vault Marcus smiled. “Recognition at last.” Sebastian’s voice stayed cold. “You’re not winning this.” Marcus shrugged. “We’ll see.” On Leo’s screen the administrator panel changed again. Three names now filled the control hierarchy. PRIMARY ADMINISTRATOR: LEO CARTER SECONDARY ADMINISTRATOR: ZERO TERTIARY ADMINISTRATOR: MARCUS KNIGHT Then another system message appeared. GLOBAL AUTHORITY CHALLENGE CONFIRMED Daniel muttered, “I officially hate this computer.”

he explained, walking me to his brother. I felt out of place with these two powerful men. ‘We are Luna. We are just as powerful as our mate.’ Theia snorted at my worries. “Aurelia, meet my brother John Alexander Kinsley. And John, meet Aurelia Faith Christian,” Logan introduced us.

I shrug. “Okay, I like her.” she points to me and looks at Rhea. “I’m Veronica by the way. Veronica Ryan. Grade B.” “Grade?” I raise a brow, confused. “A Grade basically tells how dangerous a person is. And before you ask, the difference between A’s and B’s is that A’s have committed murder.” “But mine is asterisked?” “It’s never been given before but I’m guessing it means numerous counts of murder.” Yeah. That makes sense.

Three accounts had become amber nodes over time. But eventually… All their permissions converged into a single destination. A user account with no assigned owner. The name made Dani’s stomach drop. SERVICE-ROOT: MAINTENANCE-GHOST Noah read it twice. “That’s not a real department.” “No,” Dani said. “It’s a service layer account.” “What does that mean?” “It means it’s not supposed to belong to anyone.” Silence filled the lab. Because they all understood the implication. If someone controlled a service root account…

Lena's POV. “Hello, ma'am,” the doctor waved his left hand, and felt my pulse with his right hand. “How many fingers am I holding up?” “Can I get a name? Can you speak?” He continued, not even giving me a chance to think or respond. He suddenly stopped and pointed a little fluorescent light in my eyes. I squinted and groaned inaudibly from lying stiff for far too long. “Four, My name is Lena, and I think I can… talk,” I replied in a second, gulping as the man behind him moved closer and fixed his gaze on me.

he smiled widely. The only thing I got from that was that the tall piece of man meat was going to be staying with us and I've just been dumped, it's the best thing that could ever happen, I mean, just imagine waking up and walking into the bathroom to see him, shirtless, towel wrapped around his waist, exposing his v-line a little, the messy wet hair and the water sliding down his body. "Go say hi." Jonathan said, pulling me from my thoughts. My mum had already left and he was looking straight at me and him, "Okay." I said and began walking towards him, "Hi," I extended my arm, "I'm Jade."

Gwyneth would have thought that she had repented if not for this, but it turned out she was just keeping quiet while she made her move! After some thought, Gwyneth started typing again and soon found the hacker's identity. It was a mysterious person named Root, whom she remembered had made it into international rankings before. She narrowed her eyes, searching her memory as she seemed to have heard of the person.

Far above, a minor god clutches his sleeve and whispers louder this time, to anyone who will listen: “Black Root.”

Slowly, the Father-Root stopped writhing and began to reach toward her. ​"The Root isn't a battery," Nora whispered, looking up at the Keeper. "It’s a Memory. And right now, it remembers being a part of the Earth. It wants to protect us. But it needs the Respiration to give it the range." ​The Keeper looked at the ceiling, where the first cracks from the approaching moonlet’s gravity were starting to spider-web across the ice. He looked at Nora’s amber glow—the light of the Davis future—and then at Kael’s scarred, weary face.

Sure that she wasn’t crying anymore, she turned to gaze at me like she was admiring something. “The Alpha, the only one who acquired the flame sword Aura without a teacher to teach him or an elemental wolf link connection.” I went silent, stunned by what had crawled into my ears. Ryu didn’t learn flame sword aura from a master, nor was he an elemental wolf. That had to be one of the craziest things I’ve heard. “The Alpha is the strongest amongst us and is also the only one who could ever chase off the Moon Hound Pack who kept to our tail.
