"The Manifest wasn't just a control mechanism. It was a Safety Net. It prevented the 'Hyper-Fluctuation' of value. Without it, a loaf of bread could cost a fortune in the morning and a cent by noon, depending on the 'mood' of the local Scriptorium." ​"Then we stop trading in 'moods' and start trading in Presence," Damian countered, his voice steady. "We’ve been living in a curated reality for fifty years, Bianca. It’s time we learned how to walk on uneven ground."

When I see Reese Chapman again, it is exactly three years after I sever our mate bond. It is also the third year since I completely seal my wolf and hide at the edge of the Shadow pack territory, living as an insignificant healer. Tonight, the air in the clinic feels heavy and icy under his overwhelming aura. He carries a lightly injured female companion in his arms and forcibly takes over the best VIP ward in the clinic. During my shift, he summons me three times through his guards. The first time, he coldly orders, "There are wolfsbane fragments on the bedsheets. Change them." I send an apprentice herbalist to handle it. Two hours later, he has a nurse relay another order. "The smell

Alexander spoke first. “We’ve survived external pressure,” he said. “Now we need to survive success.” Billy raised an eyebrow. “Success is the problem?” “No,” Alexander said calmly. “Sustaining it is.” Serena folded her hands. “Institutional fatigue is dangerous,” she said. “People lower vigilance when threat decreases.” Daniel added, “Or they overcompensate and stay hyper-vigilant.” Sofia’s voice came through the speaker. “Federal partners are watching for slippage,” she said. “Not because they expect it. But because they know exhaustion leads to shortcuts.”

The warmth of acceptance in the room and the shared struggles made it a haven of sorts, a place where I could admit my vulnerability without judgment.

Mila was one of the most challenged among us. She struggled to stay sober, her longest streak being a mere two weeks. Yet, deep down, I believed in her resilience. Despite her setbacks, I knew she was putting in the effort, and whether she believed it or not, we all knew she'd find her way to recovery.

The ceiling swam above her, and in her fading vision she imagined Samuel's cold stare—the gentle man she knew now delivering her to hell. The scalpel descended. She felt nothing. Her mind drifted far above her body, watching the doctor's steady hands move. … The hospital corridors carried that same antiseptic smell. Samuel stood outside the doctor's office, absently brushing his thumb over his wedding ring without realizing it. The doctor adjusted his glasses, expression grave. "We've reviewed Ms. Snowden's medical report, Mr. Terrason."

Adriana slammed her folder onto the table, freezing the room with the sound. "I was joking—Miss Adler, you're overreacting," Joan said hastily. "I'm the leader of Sanctity's special technical team. This isn't a joke." Adriana's face was cold, her expression unyielding. Chris sighed, signaling Joan to stop. Lucas returned, a troubled look on his face. "Mr. Slater, Sanctity insists Miss Adler is their top technician. If Slater Group is dissatisfied, Sanctity can withdraw funding and personnel, leaving you to find someone else."

If one of them is paying attention on me, he might be noticing the panic and sweats on my forehead and neck. My head was spinning around and I felt throwing up just remembering how he simply slit his throat as if the man said something unpleasant. I held the side of my head when I went to the other way where I can go home. It was already dark and ominous, but I still tried my best to get my sanity. “And where do you think you’re going?”

She also did not hear the first half of a question about phasing. Afterward, in the ladies’ room, she locked a stall and sat down because standing felt like too much work. Lack of sleep sat behind her eyes like grit. Constant arousal sat lower, a dull, humiliating throb that made the toilet paper feel like an event. She checked her phone.

I closed my eyes trying to remember something. Suddenly Joshua's face came infront of me, how he cares for me, he concerns for me, tell me what's wrong and right, his presence calms me, he comforts me when I need it, he-he is the one who keeps me sane.
