Sunrise Security Breach Novels & Stories

I take cautious steps to the meeting hall, pushing the door open as the servant announces my presence. “Here comes the Alpha,” he says and everyone rises from their seats, bowing slightly at me. I nod at them and they send straight, watching me walk over to my seat before sitting down after me. “What's the agenda?” I ask and one of them stands up, grabbing a sheet of paper from in front of him. “We have some terrible news. There was a reported breach of security last night and we are yet to determine who the intruder is.” I nod, having him go into details about what had happened and how much this was a threat to us.

At Sterling Horizon, alarms screamed through the building. Adrian Sterling stood in the command room as security personnel rushed from one screen to another. “They're attacking our financial servers.” A technician shouted. “Sir! Someone is trying to freeze several corporate accounts.” Adrian clenched his fists. “Can we stop them?” “We're trying.” Then the entire building shook. An explosion erupted outside. Security officers rushed toward the windows. Adrian stared at the burning vehicle below. “They want Lucas to come back.” One of the guards looked at him.

Chapter 7 Somewhere in this palace, a dead girl’s ghost was picking out her breakfast. Jade hadn’t slept enough to laugh at the thought, but it still circled in her head the moment a knock came at her door. “Enter,” she said, then immediately felt stupid. A young woman slipped inside carrying a tray, eyes down the second she crossed the room. “Breakfast, Your Highness.” She set the tray down without looking at Jade properly. That was a huge relief, Jade realized. It wasn't fear. This girl thought she was looking at someone who’d simply come home.

By morning the financial world would erupt. Before either of us could speak, the private hardline on the dining table began to ring sharp, loud, jarring in the quiet. Lachlan kept his hand over mine and answered on speaker with his free hand. "Speak." "Mr Vance." The head of building security, voice shaking. "Sir, we have a breach in the lower parking garage." His jaw flexed. "My mother?" "No, sir a convoy of unflagged tactical vehicles just rammed the gates. They're using executive master keys."

My eyes narrow as I lock onto Julian's face. The official Black Sun Council emergency bulletin was not issued until one thirty-seven in the morning. The public nexus alarm did not sound until well after midnight. How does a low-level pack doctor know the exact minute the breach program was planted? My fingers twitch inside my coat pocket, my mind racing through every code segment I traced during last night's shadow attack. Julian is not just an arrogant pack doctor. He is the mole inside Westmere. "You seem very certain of the timeline, Dr. Ziki," I say, my tone dropping an octave, smooth and sharp as a silver blade. "Did the rogue frequency send you a personal invitation before it hit the n

Now I just had to stall the robber until Elijah got here. “Steal?” The thief sounded confused. “What in the world are you talking about?” “You can explain whatever it is that you're doing to them,” I said smugly, as flashlight beams came jogging toward us. I could see Elijah and three other security guards coming at us at breakneck speeds. Elijah reached us first. “Mr. Belrose, are you all right? We heard a strange noise.” My stomach dropped straight to China. Mr. Belrose? “I think so, but who the hell is this girl? And how did she get past you to fucking tackle me?”

On the other end, the receptionist hesitated: “Mr. Miller… unfortunately, there was a system incident. We suffered a breach and lost part of the recordings.” Thor straightened up in bed, frowning. “What do you mean, a breach?” “The footage from yesterday is only available up until 3 p.m. And today’s recordings only started being recovered from 2 p.m. onward. We’re working on fixing it, but—” “This is unacceptable,” Thor cut in, his irritation sharp. “A building of this level, with a security failure?” “Sir, even the best systems can be hacked. We sincerely apologize.” Thor hung up without replying. Ten minutes later, his phone rang. It was his mother, Angélica.

But it starts right back up again. Cursing under my breath, I finally check it. Only to see that it’s a security alert. The company security alert. “Break-in. Parking lot exit breached. Penthouse office breached.” My hand almost slips out of my grasp. Someone has broken into my company building…. Particularly, my office.

I slammed the card down on his desk. "Someone breached the security," I said, voice deadly calm. "They got into our cottage. And they're coming for Sirus."

"Someone broke into my apartment! Attacked me! And then carried—" "We reviewed the hallway surveillance," the other officer, Officer Nathan Cross, said as he walked over, holding his body cam footage up for me to see. In the black-and-white video, at 3:02 a.m., the door to Unit 703 opened. Mrs. Calder, who was still in her nightie, came out holding an empty milk carton, as if heading out to take the trash down. She walked to my door and then stopped. Then she began slamming her head against it seven or eight times.
