Malakai’s smile finally vanished, his pale face turning a sickly white as his cybernetic wrist console exploded in a spray of sparks, the black monitors behind him fracturing into a million glittering pieces of gray static as Laila’s silver light tore through his central server. "No!" Malakai screamed, drawing a heavy silver pistol from his white coat as the massive black wolf cleared the balcony railing. The chapter ended with the sound of a final, desperat

Final. A debt, paid. The violet mark on him flared once, locked the southern valves for good, and then he was gone — slipping into the deep rivers beneath the mountain with the corrupt key in his hands. “The southern server is dead,” Elara said, opening her eyes.

The transmitter at her waist started melting, violet plastic dripping like wax.

She paused, “…or rather, the Eokalerons, didn’t know this, and were delighted to discover another planet with such advanced intelligence. The first peaceful delegation sent to Tiruzg was immediately annihilated. These beings slowly absorbed the light energy of the visitors, feeding themselves with the sparks of their souls. But the effect of absorption was relatively short-lived, and it was never enough. It was like a drug for them. Once they experienced that euphoria and power from consuming Eokaleron energy, they craved more!” Lena’s fists clenched in anger, and tears welled up in her eyes, though they did not fall. Jasmine and I sat, mouths open, painting vivid images in our minds of the

This is a level 5 beast originating from a fiery level 5 demonic beast, burning cloud beast!" Exclaimed the old man, who took everyone by surprise.

I groaned in frustration, grappling with the pain and confusion. The pain reached a crescendo, and in a desperate bid for relief, I released it. The pent-up power surged outward, the sheer force toppling trees in its wake before enveloping me in a shimmering fog. I shut my eyes against the flood of memories carried by the fog, but resistance was futile. I was transported once more, this time into the Alpha's mate.

My first instinct was to go to her, which in itself should've sent off warning alarms in my head. Talon Avery does not go after females; they come after me. By the time I was able to extricate myself from the clutches of my unwanted admirer, she was heading across the field in the opposite direction.

The building groaned, the structural stabilizers fighting to compensate for the massive kinetic energy. "The Grid can't see them!" Tasha’s voice crackled through the speakers.

Lilly shook her head, defiance blazing in her eyes. “He’s not dying on my watch!” She wasn’t going to give up. “Lilly,” I said softly, “Zack… he’s—” My words faltered as a warm feeling pulsed beneath my hands, and Lilly began to hum softly under her breath. A bright white light appeared beneath our hands. I froze, holding my breath as the light grew stronger, warmer, until a flash filled the temple.

After everything she had been through, after every nightmare Zander forced into her life, seeing peace in her eyes tonight made something tighten painfully inside my chest. Worth it. Every second of waiting had been worth it. Koa stirred restlessly beneath my skin, completely fixated on her. Mate. It was where I brought her when fear consumed her, where I promised her nothing between us would ever change. And now here we were beneath the full moon, only moments away from finally completing the bond we had both waited so long for. My chest tightened at the thought. The Goddess had chosen her for me.
