she once fought. "Are we the 'Bad-Guys' now, Avery?" Maya asked, watching the "Proximans" scream as their "Biological-Bodies" began to "Re-Materialize" from the "Chaos-Dust." "We’re 'Solvent', Maya," Avery replied, her silver-etched skin feeling like a "Prison-Uniform." "And in this galaxy, 'Solvency' is the only 'Standard' that matters."

An obsidian stone is inside my seal, and the guards fall over themselves to let us inside once they know who I am. The wall is ridiculously tall, made of thick, reinforced steel. I crane my neck back, move my hair back to see it all. The portly guard pulls a lever, and a portion of it lowers. Clunky and groaning, the ice flys out, the gate forcing its way open. The gate lowers completely, warm water slowly trickles out, and the inside of Estate Eclipse is steaming. I grab onto Dante and he helps me past the blocks of ice until we cross the other side of the gate.

His skin still showed those faint branching shadows, darker than before, like a map being drawn under flesh. “I felt it,” he whispered. “I felt it helping.” Elara’s voice was soft, devastated. “I know.” Mara’s eyes were wide. “It wanted you to win,” she whispered. “It wanted you to use it.” Halden crouched by the disabled unit, breathing hard. “Then we don’t give it time to set up the next play,” he growled. He pried at a small access panel with the glass shard. Inside were modular components—data storage, power routing, a small transceiver. Halden yanked out the transceiver like it offended him personally.

The problem wasn’t over yet, but at least he’s gone for now. I turned slowly to face him again. His gray eyes, sharp and cold, were fixed on me. For a split second, I felt exposed, like he could see straight through me and through my thoughts. “I… thank you,” I said quickly, bowing and forcing a smile. “And… I’m sorry for the trouble.” “That’s the third time,” he murmured, almost under his breath, before turning and walking away. I stood frozen in time for a moment, watching his facade fade down the hallway. The words echoed in my mind. The third time? My pulse skipped. Does he actually remember me? My chest tightened as I realized what just happened. Or am I just possibly overthinking thing

With the moon up in the sky, receiving contact from the sun, it caused the effect of the Eclipse. The wolves lost control of their human selves. They stopped running and dropped to their knees, the painful wave hitting their heads. The three non-wolves had stopped running and looked at them. Sheera had heard enough about the Eclipse Moon. The wolves often lose themselves and became full predators. Hunters. They'd kill any human on sight, feed on them. "They're transitioning!" Morginna noted, seeing that some of them were already cracking bones. None of them could stop it. Their human mind and consciousness was slipping.

AUTHOR'S POV. Grainy black-and-white security footage looped endlessly across six massive monitors. Alpha Sean braced his heavy hands against the metal security console, his claws gouging deep, permanent grooves into the steel. Finding the exact leak in his impenetrable fortress remained his only goal tonight. Stifling July heat bled through the concrete walls of the basement server room, mixing with the sharp scent of ozone and burnt coffee. On the screen, a masked figure in black tactical gear slipped through the east wing corridor like a ghost.

The system loved it. Bond Strength Increased Significantly Level Up! Aria Kane is now Level 5 New Class Evolution Path Unlocked: Overlord Architect Additional Bond Slots Available: 1 more recommended for safe zone access The safe zone was a fortified settlement built around an old university campus. As we approached its walls on the third day, another traveler joined our path. A tall, brooding man with silver-streaked hair and the aura of a warrior. His name was Darius, and the system immediately offered a new bond opportunity. After a tense standoff where he proved his worth by helping us fight off a swarm, I accepted.

"Annalyn would come through it human. Fully and permanently human. The bond marks would dissolve. Every connection she holds to the three of you would end completely." The room held that. I looked at Lucas. His jaw was set and his face was doing the thing it did when he was running rapid calculations behind an expression he had locked down deliberately. I looked at Matteo in the doorway. He had arrived at some point during Dalisay's explanation and had not announced himself, and his face was carrying the same calculation with less success at concealing it. I watched both of them move through it.

"Four. Three. Two. One." Back at the Bloodmoon Citadel, miles away through the jagged mountain peaks, the morning sun broke over the horizon. Instead of bringing warmth, it cast a sharp, cold golden light through the narrow arched windows of the private archives, illuminating dust motes dancing in the frantic air. Saed stood in front of the master security console, looking like a man who had been dragged through the layers of the underworld. His robes were disheveled, his eyes bloodshot and wide with a manic desperate terror. His face was pale, slick with a thick sheen of sweat that dripped onto the sleek, obsidian-colored keys of the interface. The screen before him was blinding, pulsing wi

Sad. “He brought us here.” Mara turned around. Jonas was behind them. But he was transparent. It's like fog. He smiled weakly. “This is the node space.” Mara went to him. “What did you do?” He looked at his hands. Through them, silver light flows. “I activated the third switch.” The three doors began to pulsate. Lena joined Mara's side. She took her hand. Warm. Really. “Only one of us can return.” Mara died.
