Daniel I rise abruptly, my hands trembling as I try to regain control. The atmosphere in Aurélie’s apartment is heavy, almost unreal. She has placed her words like stones in a calm stream, disrupting everything I thought I knew. Doubt grows within me, instilling an uncertainty I haven’t felt in a long time. But deep down, I know that it’s not just the truth I’m trying to uncover. No, I’m also on a far more personal, more intimate quest.

"Regarding the plot, the pact, and the future. We want to hear from you more than we want to talk at you. So... who wants to start?" A human woman stood first. "You claim that both sides are being manipulated by the conspiracy. How can we be certain that you are telling the truth? How can we be certain that this isn't just supernatural politics with people caught in the middle?You don't," Sera acknowledged. "Not without verification. For this reason, we have made all of the evidence available to the public. Everything we discovered, including Silas's papers and Cassius's letters. It is currently being studied by independent historians—human historians.

Greedy Evils like my father and his minions preying on the weak, starving towns and villages while the rich live lavishly. Yea I don’t think anywhere in the universe we are safe from those type of monsters. I have many truths and they change or rather transform all the time. And the truth here is Peter’s death I’ll never forget but I honestly don’t know what to do with this hunter. I’m not a killer and even pouring that acid on him made me queasy. He didn’t even put up a fight. This isn’t what I expected this confrontation to go down. My gut tells me that he was holding back. Was he trying to see what I’d do? How I fight so when he’s actually ready he knows my moves? “Hey.” he says way too s

"The confession letter written in your own handwriting, found at the scene of their deaths?" My world tilted sideways. A confession letter? In my handwriting? That was impossible. I'd been seven years old when my parents died, barely able to write full sentences, let alone compose a confession to murder. But Marcus was watching me with such certainty, such confidence, that doubt crept into my mind like poison. "There is no letter." Ryker stood, his chair scraping against the floor with harsh finality. "This is a fabrication, another attempt to discredit Maya and deflect attention from the evidence we found today."

A murmur rippled through the room. “These documents,” Alyssa continued, tapping the screen, “contain errors no legitimate financial architect would make. Incorrect sequencing. Redundant routing. And,” she looked directly at the speaker, “transaction markers that didn’t exist at the time they claim to.” She leaned back slightly. “They’re forgeries.” “Then why do they look so convincing?” someone demanded. Alyssa smiled faintly. “Because they were made by someone who knows how you think.” Silence. At the far end, Maya watched carefully, eyes flicking from face to face. She could see it—the doubt cracking open, fear seeping in. Davin’s hand was everywhere in this, but his name remained unspoken

Haley looked at it. Then at the camera. "Declined." She tapped the invoice with one manicured finger. The old goddess placed her hand over Haley's. Susan placed hers over both. Across the world, millions of people stood up from their knees. Not because sunlight stopped mattering. Because gratitude did not require slavery. The invoice cracked. Ra's boat shook. Priya shouted from the press room, "Collective refusal of compulsory consideration!" Dana and Marion repeated it. The seventeen witnesses broadcast the phrase. Wolves in Manhattan howled it. Mirror ships sang it. The firewall trust picked it up and turned it into review language.

When I looked up again. She was gone. Not running. Not climbing. Gone. As if she had vanished into the night itself. I unfolded the parchment with trembling fingers. There was only one sentence written across it. Stop trusting the people standing beside you. One of them has lied to you from the beginning.

“You think someone altered my memories." James answered carefully. “I think someone altered your certainty." Elena turned back sharply. “That's not an answer." "No," James admitted. “It's the truth." Vanessa spoke next. “My father wrote something." She pulled the folded letter from her pocket. Then read aloud. "The strongest prisons aren't built with walls. They're built with certainty." James nodded slowly. “He understood before the rest of us." Adrian looked confused. “Understood what?" Alexander answered. “That people don't need to be replaced." A pause. “They only need to doubt themselves."

“Fine.” “Ok, before I begin, I need you to understand that no one at the library believes this. The person who wrote this seems to have been an alcoholic and a little on the insane side. He had written other texts that caused a whole lot of shat. Like the first-born daughter thing.” “The one where they would destroy the pack?” “One and the same. So, take this with a grain of salt on it actually working, but understand that the person who took her likely believes it.”

“Don’t worry so much, Gabby. They didn’t show anything, not like they did after he killed the girl’s boyfriend, anyway. Now that was gross. The corpse turned a dark, gray color and—” “Papá!” I shouted, springing up to find the remote control. “He’s only ten years old. He can’t watch this kind of crap.” “Nonsense,” Papá snorted, waving aside my concerns. “The boy knows it’s a story and not real. It won’t corrupt him.” “Yeah, Gabs. Chill out,” Miguel added with a worldly roll of his eyes. “I’m fine.” I sighed and sat back down to gape at the two males incredulously. They really saw nothing wrong with the situation.
