Moira’s in the corner, collar on, licking Null off her teeth like it’s dessert. This is new. “Rowan,” Draven says. Wolf, because shifting back costs blood and he’s out. “Feed?” “Dead,” Rowan confirms. “You said cut it. I cut it.” Good. The pack doesn’t need to see this. The puppets stop twenty yards out. Set the stretcher down like the boy’s made of smoke. One of them steps forward. Opens his mouth. Alistair’s voice comes out. “Wren Duskbane. Draven. You beat Null. Congratulations.”

She drove me insane with desire. “Look, there…the chair leg, its got a wave to it.” Nate points to the leg of the chair I was supposedly sitting on whilst Natascha was straddling me. He was right, you couldn’t see it immediately but with a closer eye it had a curve to it. A classic sign of the image being photoshopped. Bastards! Someone used mine and Evelyn’s history against her, playing on her trust issues with me. Just then, we watch in complete puzzlement as the usually calm and collected Noah starts to run along the path ahead, cursing out loud. What’s happened for him to start sprinting towards the alpha house?

Mission complete boss. Love, Alec. • "I turned around for 2 seconds and I heard a gunshot. I looked and saw Alec on the floor, gun in his hand and in a pool of his own blood." Lilith told Malakai in a lifeless, void and empty voice when they were in the hospital. Her words would stay with him forever.

Jayden kept shouting while running in front of several flesh eating beetles, "Don't stop until we reach the exit." The beasts they earlier thought were easy prey, had now made each of them run with a tail between their leg. The time when human were on the top of the food chain has long gone. Hunter is just a step away from being the hunted. This was the brutal truth of the Glitch. Inside Glitch anything that can wrong, will go wrong. Tungsten Beetles were not very strong individually but in a horde, those 2-feet bugs can turn the tide of the waves on anybody who did not come prepared enough. Even a slightest mistake inside glitch would not be forgiven.

Even the bug fixes matched mine. Something was seriously wrong. That was when a voice, low and sharp, cut right into my ear. "Kelsey, are you snooping through my code?"

} Suddenly the holographic image in front of the horrified Dina varnished but before she could get what was happening. {*&^@*&(())(*^$£%$^%& ......LET THE TRUE TRAILS BEGIN!} "WHAT?!" BEEP!!! Dina suddenly heard a loud beep go off in her head and with a stumble, her eyes rolled back and she fell to the ground—passed out. {Vsssh....

Suddenly, a horrifying jump scare appeared from the screen, startling him to the point of almost throwing the phone away. The animated image depicted a ghost with bleeding eyes, nose, and mouth, its terrifying gaze seemingly targeting those attempting to access Belle's phone. Gathering his composure, Grayson scrolled down, encountering more eerie images before reaching a password-protected lock screen. Despite trying various passwords, none proved correct.

Ava asks. Cass shakes her head. “Timing doesn’t fit. His bid confirms at this time stamp.” She taps a line on the screen. “The system glitch hits… here. Almost ten seconds after he’s logged as the winner. The physical drive’s in motion by then, being escorted out. This looks like someone reaching into the *record* of Lot Seventeen, not the drive itself.” “So there are at least three players,” Ava says slowly. “My father’s circle. Kade. And whoever’s behind the tampering.”

As Ace flipped through the pages, the soft crackling of the paper filled the space. Ace's fingers moved skillfully over the pages, his eyes scanning each drawing with a mix of pain and yearning.
