“Explain. Fast.” Noa didn’t take his eyes off the screen. “Sabine didn’t create me from scratch. She patterned me. My mind, my body, everything she built into me was based on someone who came before. An experiment she didn’t fully control. She called it ‘the prototype’ in some of her files. I always thought that meant me.” “But it was him,” Alessio muttered. “Yeah.” Ivy’s fingers flew across her keyboard. “Got something. His ID tag buried in the network logs Project Subject: 0000. Codename: GHOST.”

Penelope circled the room, flashlight darting over control panels and embedded drawers. One caught her eye, no power indicator, no screen. Manual latch. She popped it open. Inside: a slim drawer of hardcopy files. Old-school. Labeled by hand. She pulled the one on top black folder, silver embossed: LUX PROTOCOL // PHASE ONE She flipped it open. Top page: biometric charts. Notes on “suggestibility thresholds” and “symbolic anchoring in post-trauma subjects.” She turned another page. Then I stopped cold.

from my peripheral, I caught the sight of a camera at the right corner of the room, "I'm not sure if that works. I don't think Jason would have attempted what he did if it did work but we can never be too careful. I want the footage for the past two hours wiped from their server." "I'll get on it, Alpha. We've got a wolf that's pretty good with the tech stuff. He's working on the security features around the sanctuary and building a database of all the wolves that have been initiated into the pack," Alec informed as he fished out his phone and began rapidly typing. His voice grew distant as he said, "he'll know what to do but it might take him time. A building like this probably has really g

“They erased every trace of his existence. Every file. Every photo. But not this. This was buried, not deleted.” The screen in front of her flickered, then steadied. A video began to play. Her breath caught. It was a man with dark hair streaked with silver and eyes unmistakably hers. Laugh lines, strong jaw, that familiar crease between his brows when he frowned. A voice spoke over the footage, clinical and cold. “Subject: Dr. Marcus Harper. Former Chief Systems Architect, Crescent Initiative. Status: Terminated. Protocol: Specter Override failed. Subject not recovered.”

Its rose symbol glowed softly in her palm. The core pulsed violently. A holographic figure materialized in front of her, a younger woman, beautiful and cold, eerily familiar. Not Evelyn. Not her mother. One of the founders. The first architect. The woman’s voice was smooth as glass. “Subject G01 identified.” Scarlett’s heart slammed against her ribs. The hologram smiled. “Welcome home.” No. She slammed the pendant into the slot. The lab screamed. Light detonated. Every screen shattered into blinding white static.

It had no eyes, no mouth, but its presence was a suffocating weight that made the air itself feel like it was drowning. "The biomass is defective," the Herald’s voice vibrated directly against their teeth, skipping their eardrums entirely. "Subject 001, your integration with the foreign Anomaly has corrupted your base code. You will be disassembled. Your Pack will be vaporized. The Ark will be reclaimed." "I’m getting really tired of these guys calling me a 'Subject'," Caleb growled.

It led her to a locked steel door. Behind it, a cold chamber hummed with quiet power. She stepped inside. And froze. At the center of the room, floating inside a cryo-stasis tank, was a man. Tall. Pale. With circuitry etched across his bare chest. Subject 01: Kael Prototype. The moment she approached, his eyes snapped open. Alma staggered back. Julian burst in behind her, weapon drawn. “Who the hell is that?” he asked. The chamber began to shake. Lights flickered.

“From the beginning.” Luca stepped closer. “Then it’s time to show them what happens when you plan for the wrong girl.” Across the city, in a white lab lit by halogen lights, a group of masked technicians stood before a tall glass chamber. Inside it, a figure stirred. Female. Connected to wires. Heart rate steady. A screen beside her displayed one name: SUBJECT 03 – Initiate in case of Ava 01 breach. One of the techs spoke quietly. “She’s awake.”

Marking. Professor Fell approaches me. Studies my face. Smiles. "Callum Brennan. Excellent specimen." He pulls out magical tag. Attaches it to my chest. I can feel it burning through my shirt. "Wolf-001. Priority subject. High-value genetic material." I try to speak. Can't. Mouth won't move. Throat paralyzed. Fell moves to Cormac. Frozen three feet away. Fist also extended. We were killing each other when the spell hit. "Cormac Brennan. Alpha wolf. Also valuable." Fell tags him. "Wolf-002. Priority subject. Control study comparison with specimen 001."

That wasn’t synthetic. Neither was mine. A soft tone interrupted the silence. New notification. Not from the apartment. From my tablet. I crossed the room slowly and picked it up. The screen displayed a single classified document. PROJECT ORPHEUS Behavioral Synchronization Trial – Phase III Primary Objective: Emotional Dependency Pairing for Executive Stabilization My blood went cold. Below it— Subject A: Reid, Shawn Subject B: Agreste, Catriona Status: Convergence Successful Shawn went utterly still behind me.
