No danger. But even paradise has shadows. One afternoon, while Sebastian was preparing lunch yes, he cooked now, though terribly Scarlett sat by the infinity pool, sunglasses on, sun on her skin. A gentle breeze danced through her curls. Her phone buzzed once on the side table. A message. Damien: You need to see this. Check the secure line. Now. Her chest tightened. She slipped away into the villa’s private study, keyed in the encryption. A live feed opened grainy surveillance footage of a laboratory, somewhere in Eastern Europe. The camera zoomed in on a screen where a series of encrypted codes blinked.

Citadel — Level Six Alexander and Elias burst out of the stairwell onto Level Six — and were met with silence. Not normal silence. Dead silence. Alexander tightened his grip on his knife. “This level… feels wrong.” Elias scanned the corridor — his eyes glowing faint amber, the faint bond tugging him downward. “She’s close. One level below.” Sable ran a quick scan with her wrist device. “Hold up, hold up — something’s not right. Level Six is usually swarming with guards.” Alexander exhaled sharply. “So where are they?” A voice answered from above.

TAK‌EOVE‍R. The system accep⁠ted it. Of course. His entire philosophy in one word. My fingers flew, navigating to‍ the secure server he had shown m⁠e once w‌h‌en he was drunk on power and singl‍e malt sco‍tch.‌ I input the suite designati‍on‍: A7X, 1142. ‍ B‌IOMETRIC CONFIR‌MA‌TION REQUIRED.

"I want to activate our old protocol. Ground level observation. The Horrison version, not Cassilas" "Use satellite relay" she asked. "No. Too obvious. We’ll use land relays. I moved the base unit to the greenhouse at Saint Roch. You only need to link it from here" I handed her a small chip, green-gray with a nearly invisible marking, H.O.R R12. "Target" she whispered. I met her eyes. "All movement under ID D7LRA. And every internal Cassilas IP trace from the last six months. Especially those linked to the gala night, the investor selection day, and our wedding day"

And whispered: > “Let’s see who survives being forgotten.” LOCATION: SAFEHOUSE – TECH ROOM TIME: 7:06 a.m. The screen went black. Then white. Then text poured in across the command line. > TARGET: ALL CODE: 000-VAIRO-PHANTOM PHASE 3 INITIATED DELETING… Solene Vairo Morrow Vairo STATUS: UNSTABLE Solene sat still, eyes locked on the terminal. Lucien stood behind her. Not breathing. Then the first alert hit: > Access denied

One spoke into a radio, voice hushed. "Asset secured in Lab Six. Beginning final prep." The mate bond tugged sharply at the words. Lab Six. East wing, according to the blueprints. I waited until their steps faded before moving on. The tunnel opened into a maintenance hub—pipes spider-webbing across the ceiling, control panels blinking lazily. A desk sat abandoned, papers scattered across its surface. Most were standard logs, but one caught my eye. A security report, dated three weeks ago. Right before we'd encountered Angela in the woods.

"Then we fight it." He looked at me for a long moment. Then he turned back to the booth and sat across from Sixteen. "I need everything you have on Harlan's current operation," he said. "Locations, personnel, financial routing. All of it." Sixteen reached into her jacket and produced a small drive. Slid it across. "It's encrypted. The key is Prague. Blue door. Left." Cole took it. "How long have you been building this?" "Since the week after the ambush. When I pulled Cole McKnight's file and found a soldier with a perfect record who'd somehow survived the operation that killed everyone else around him." She looked at Cole directly.

I navigated the corridors heading deeper into the facility. I reached a door labeled COMMUNICATONS ACCESS RESTRICTED. I typed the bypass sequence on my phone. Slammed my palm against the glass pad. The door slid open revealing a room filled with servers. I sat down at the console. Opened the folder. My fingers flew across the keys inputting the command lines. The system warned me. I ignored it. I found the network anchor point that linked the facility to Julians device. I typed the bypass sequence: 77_OMEGA_BYPASS_402. I hit Enter. The screen went black. Then it came back, to life. SYSTEM DECOUPLED. The link was severed. Julians tablet was dark.

But down below, in a chamber where Lucien kept encrypted surveillance feeds and Isa worked like a ghost in the glow of a dozen monitors. “I found something,” Isa whispered from across the dim-lit chamber, her voice not loud but sharp enough to pierce the haze. Catalina stepped in, her robe trailing, soaked from rain she hadn’t even realized she walked through. Her face was pale, lips dry, but her spine was stiff. Ready. Isa spun her screen. The image was grainy. It was a camera feed, timestamped six years ago. A hallway. A room door labeled with a red cross.

They dragged the anomaly into its own holo, peeling away some of the static. Underneath the noise, the signature of a facility emerged: power patterns, comm ping structures, recall scheduling markers. Incomplete, jumps in the routing, but coherent enough to tag as Siren. And buried in the garble, where no one but someone as obsessed as Aria would have thought to tuck it, a tag: > **ASSET: S‑07 // STATUS: ACTIVE** Lys’s partial ID. Kael’s breath left him in a slow, controlled exhale.
