Dylan knew something was wrong the moment his phone buzzed in his pocket. He had just stepped out of a shareholder video call when the device vibrated against his thigh with a ping that set his instincts on high alert. He pulled it out and saw a message—not from Rachel, not from Grace, and not from any of his staff. It was from one of his private surveillance agents positioned near the coffee shop. **“Unidentified female—possible supernatural. Engaged brief interaction with subject Dockham.

They would kill me if I didn't come back.

I ran for the door but stopped dead. Three Council guards stood in the hallway. And behind them, Dr. Helena Cross. "What's going on?" I demanded. "We received an energy spike alert.

Jack tried to stand up, but his legs failed him. The victory of restarting the power felt hollow. They had just turned the lights on, only to reveal that there was another monster in the room with them. Or rather, out there in the dark.

“All these years?” “Most of them.” My chest tightened. “What did they do to you?” The boy’s eyes hardened. “They used me to test whether Sovereign could survive without Seraphina.” Victor whispered, “Subject Three.” The boy nodded. “Yes.” The courtroom screens suddenly flashed. SUBJECT THREE — MEMORY INTEGRITY: 98% Then another message appeared. TRANSFER TARGET UPDATED My blood froze. PRIMARY TARGET: SERAPHINA SERAEL VALE SECONDARY TARGET: SUBJECT THREE PURPOSE: COMPLETE SOVEREIGN

Saye’s voice disappeared. For one second, they were alone. Adrian spoke quickly. “I did.” The lights returned. Seraphina stared at him. Twenty-three years. A dead father. A hidden facility. A retrieval command activated three days ago. Not by Saye. By Adrian Laurent. “You brought me here,” Seraphina said. His palm remained against the glass. “Yes.” “Why?” The countdown vanished. A new message replaced it. EXTERNAL CONTAINMENT FAILURE PRIME TRANSFER REQUIRED Adrian looked toward something Seraphina could not see.
