Nimona 2 소설 & 이야기

“Someone copied my infrastructure years ago and mirrored it. They’ve been watching every move we made.” Naomi stood near the doorway, still wrapped in her damp jacket. Her eyes were fixed on the drive. “And that message on the screen?” she asked quietly. I hesitated. “They called it Phase Two. You were the subject.” Mara’s expression hardened. “Meaning what?” “That they’re done using intermediaries,” I said. “Now they’re coming for her directly.” The room went still. Only the hum of the servers filled the space. I could feel Naomi’s gaze on me, steady and searching.

The door slid open with a hiss, revealing a large chamber lit by harsh fluorescent lights. Inside, the room was filled with monitors and communication equipment, all buzzing with activity. Dozens of operatives worked at consoles, oblivious to the danger lurking just beyond the door. Dominic’s heart pounded. They were close. A voice echoed through the chamber’s speakers. “All units, prepare for Phase Two. The blackout is scheduled for 0200 hours. Ensure the power grid is fully compromised.” Lena whispered in Dominic’s ear, “That’s the countdown.” ⸻ Suddenly, footsteps thundered from the corridor. Nexus reinforcements had arrived.

“You are the prisoner here, you just were not fortunate to notice it until the end.” The moment she said this, she twisted his hand and there was a crack, the syringe dropped from his hand and she snatched it in midair burying it into his neck in a series of calculated and swift motions. He wanted to yell but Melissa's palm clamped shut against his mouth. “I am the Luna of Dunham,” she said. “Not even your Oracle can stop me,” she clamped her hand against his head in an angular proportion then twisted it. There was a loud crack and Abbot dropped to the ground in silence.

I can help. Marcus's mocking laughter filled the room again, and Nina's heart sank. "Please, Mom, just trust me," Nina said, her voice breaking. "I can't talk right now, but I'll be fine." "Alright, Nina," her mother said reluctantly. "But please, be safe. I love you." "I love you too, Mom," Nina whispered, tears streaming down her face. Marcus ended the call and threw the phone aside. "You think you can outsmart me, Nina? You think you can win this game?"

Coordinates flickered onto the screen. Elias straightened. “That’s… inside the Geneva Neutral Zone. Underground.” Aurora looked between them. “Did Monroe have connections there?” “Not officially,” Null replied. “But according to this… he stored something there. Something called The Parallax Record.” Damien stepped forward. “What is it?” Null’s voice dropped. “A mirror project. A record of failed clones and their psychological data. Monroe wasn’t just perfecting bodies—he was studying consciousness replication. Emotional trials. Memory looping. Trauma endurance.”

The air is cold, but I can handle it, fortunately, my clothes are quite thick and my hair is just loose and blown by the wind. "Why are you still awake?" I was surprised when someone spoke behind me, it was Raphael. I'm not sleepy yet." I answered him in a low voice so he just nodded and sat next to me. "Inima Luna." I looked at him when he spoke. "Inima Luna?" I asked again because I didn't understand what he said. "That means Heart Moon is such a beautiful name, isn't it?" I nodded that's what it meant.

replied Monica whose eyes glazed over at the thought of being separated from Endaru for just one second. Anton hugged Monica, stroking her back, trying to calm his wife down from all the prejudice she was thinking. "I won't let that happen, I've added security to the house," Anton said. "But that old woman is very cunning and can use all sorts of means to do what she wants," Monica retorted. "Don't you trust me, that I can protect you well?" asked Anton as he gently stroked Monica's long hair. "It's not that I don't believe, but right now Nina is targeting Endaru," Monica replied.

Was Danica the future alpha of the Black Forest pack? "Seems your luna found her family." Nigel murmured, drawing me from my daze. "What's the plan now?" "I…" I didn't know. I couldn't just snatch her away after she finally found someone she was blood-related to, could I? "Figure it out, the ball is starting." Nigel continued. "Now I'm going to leave you to it. I have things to discuss with Dax. " "Y-yeah." Turning my gaze back to Danica, I watched as she shook hands with those closest to her. From the serene look on her face, I could easily tell that she was happy with this new discovery.

The somber melodies that reverberated across the pack's domain fashioned an eerie mural, and the enormity of our bereavement was unavoidable. The day had come when Luna and the new Alpha would be formally acknowledged by the pack, providing a ray of light amongst the gloom that had engulfed us. I saw a reflection of myself in the mirror as I got ready for the ceremony—someone thrown into a position I had never pursued or imagined for myself. With the insignia of Alpha and our pack all over it, the dress felt heavy on my shoulders.

The suspense in the room was thick as Kieran and I entered the grand hall of the Blackwood Pack. All eyes turned toward us, whispers undulating through the crowd. "Is that her?" "The rejected one?" "I heard she’s the Luna now." I held my head high, ignoring the murmurs. Kieran's hand rested firmly on my lower back, his silent support grounding me. The hall was stunning, decorated with intricate carvings and tapestries that told the story of Blackwood's dominance. But I wasn’t here to admire their power—I was here to reclaim mine.
