“Who?” “A stranger, he was at the party, he was wearing a black cloak and suddenly he disappeared. A box appeared and when I picked it up, an unseen hand clawed at my neck. And there was a tendril-like object from the box. I struggled and then spat up a handful of blood.” “Blood?” Alpha Thane asked. “Where is it?” “There.” I pointed at the floor which I was sure I spat blood but it was as without the slightest drop of blood. My throat dried.

He hesitated, then added, “The compartment code is 88Delta-KX42.” “And I'm supposed to remember all this offhand?” Lylah asked, a hint of annoyance in her voice. “There's no other way, Lylah!” Dr. Ganner snapped impatiently. “You have to remember. 4917-66B for the access door and 88Delta-KX42 for the compartment the device is in.” Angela leaned in, waving her hands to break up the tension. “And the device? The actual dispersal unit?”

No orders — just motion. “Where did you find that tag?” Evelyn asked. Rhea sat beside her, the firelight flickering across her scarred cheek. “I didn’t,” she said. “You did. That’s why we came.” Evelyn frowned. “What are you talking about?” “You screamed. Three days ago, from somewhere near Hollowmere. Like your bones remembered something your mind doesn’t. That kind of scream carries.” She looked over at Evelyn, steady and unblinking. “We’ve been tracking the ones they called ‘control-class.’ You were E-113. S-019 was the one they couldn’t contain.”

logic beneath the sanitization. A voice echoed from the white walls—the same harmonious, terrifying chord from before. "Alpha-Regent Silas Blackwood. You are identified as a Primary Contaminant. Your rejection of the Sovereign unit created the initial entropy. You are a chaotic variable that cannot exist in the Second Phase. Please remain still for decommissioning."

“It’s inside the Mother. The key isn’t for a door. It’s for the person with the power.” Suddenly, a silver rod slammed into the trunk just inches from June’s head. Purple electricity hissed through the wood, making her hair stand on end. “Subject 442! Drop the staff and surrender now!” boomed a voice from the helicopter. “Run! To the basement of the mill!” June yelled, grabbing her mom’s hand. They crashed over tangled roots and dove through a broken window into the mill’s basement. It was pitch dark, smelling of damp grain and rusted iron. Dante shoved a heavy board across the door, but everyone knew it wouldn’t hold long.

Eden’s heart slammed in her chest. She wasn’t just created to continue Valeska. She was built as her fail-safe. A living contingency. Her breath caught as she saw the last line: > If Eden Kade survives protocol rupture, initiate contact with Lucien Black.

The system was designed to detect ghosts — students who’d vanished but weren’t supposed to. Her name flashed again. SOPHIA MAKINDE — STATUS: ALIVE A male voice in the dark swore under his breath. He clicked the command prompt. Initiate: Containment Protocol Code: “CRIMSON WAKE” Behind the hum of servers, a second monitor showed another girl’s profile now tagged: HELENA JAMES — POTENTIAL INFECTED The machine made no sound. But someone watching was already picking up the phone. Back in Madrid — Sophia’s Small Apartment

In front of both of them, I dialed a number. "There's trash here. Send someone to clean it up." I had just sent one set of trash away. Then the doorbell rang again. When I opened it, Joe stood there with a smile. He set a parcel on the table—supplements good for a succubus, meant to ease the agony of my heat. They were rare and precious; he'd thought to bring them. "Have you decided?" he asked gently. "Want to consider a new master? I'll take responsibility."

My throat tightened as I clicked a video file labeled: Prototype 7. The footage flickered to life. Maria sat behind a sleek desk, her expression calm and deliberate. “The subject Scarlett Maria Devereux exhibits strong adaptive instincts, emotional volatility, and high persuasion thresholds. Predicted outcome: ideal candidate for control transfer.” Control transfer. I scrolled to the next document a contract signed under Damien Cole’s name, dated before Maria’s death.

Past the chambers where my mother had worked. Where she had died. Where she had created the Apex. I stopped at a door. It was sealed. But I could feel the anchor behind it. "Scarlett?" I touched the door. The marker responded. The door opened. The room beyond was vast. Filled with tanks. Filled with liquid. Filled with light. And at the center, the anchor. It was beautiful. A pulsating sphere of energy, suspended in a tank of glowing liquid. It hummed with power. With life. With consciousness.
