ALPHA Arthur: The Mate Who Lied
Phineas hit the floor, sliding across the hardwood.
Solomon stood up. He didn't move like a puppet anymore. He moved like an Alpha. He grabbed the heavy, copper cables leading from his skull and ripped them out with a wet, tearing sound. He didn't even flinch. He turned toward the crawling Ignatius and lunged, pinning the cyborg to the floor.
"You wanted a power source, old man?" Solomon’s voice was a roar that shook the glass in the nursery windows.
He reached deep into his own chest, his fingers hooking around the Lunar core Ignatius had overclocked. The silver light coming from Solomon’s skin was no longer a glow; it was a blinding, jagged fire that began to melt the floorboards.
