I tilt my head. “No. I didn’t.” I glance at the guys. They nod. I drive the needle into his neck. The effect is instant. I have frankly never seen anything so beautiful. His veins turn black. His skin bubbles. His screams turn into something inhuman as his body liquefies before our eyes. And then, there’s nothing left but a puddle. I wipe my hands on a cloth, then turn to the others. Elias leaves us to go to Talia while we go to the boardroom. The warriors came in soon enough with the flashdrive.

Retreat! While screaming these words through the spelled connection, Talia was not idle either. She waved the Scepter of Ygdrasil in the retreating wolves’ direction. Slowly, a faint green light emitted from Talia’s scepter. These scattered green lights that could be mistaken as green mist only targeted the approaching hybrids and mongrels. As soon as hybrids and mongrels were touched by these green mists, they unknowingly absorbed it while chasing the tails of the retreating wolves. And in a matter of few seconds…

he’d said, his voice a pledge, crushing his lips against mine, a flame that scorched my terror, our tongues braiding in a frantic tango. Malik Reza joined us in the secret safehouse in Al Quoz; alert, sharp eyes scanning, the light of his hacked Oracle intel reflected in his laptop screen. The air was heavy with dust and tension, the safehouse’s concrete walls a far cry from Tokyo’s neon. “Talia’s splitting The Oracles,” Malik muttered, his voice low as his fingers danced over the keys. “Vivianne’s holding back, trying to protect you.” Elijah gripped my hand, his rough fingers anchoring me.

I asked. I was desperate and I wasn't about to give up just like that. I didn't care how cold or nonchalant he was trying to be, I knew him better than that, I know that he cares. "A war is about to break out, Miss Clara, everyone is on edge and I'm sure it doesn't help that they are about to go to war with your kind," he replied with a sigh. "My kind? You mean humans?" I asked. "Yes miss Clara, humans," he said as a matter of fact.

The black Alpha aura running through the ship’s iron structure instantly locked General Zur’s boots to the melting copper floor, the gravitational pressure fracturing the bones in his reptilian ankles with a sickening crunch. With a single, synchronized twist of her wrists, Natalia drove her twin blades clean through the unarmored joints of Zur’s collarbone, channeling the combined golden energy of the mate-bond directly into his central nervous system. The crimson scales along his spine turned an ashen, brittle gray before his entire body collapsed onto the scorched console, his brimstone sword spinning into the rising water below. Natalia snatched the communication scroll from his belt, ve

A green arrow pierced his throat. He collapsed at my feet. Liv appeared on the roof of the next carriage and smiled. “Terrible night for authoritarian transportation.” My army dissolved into chaos. I stretched one hand toward Elaine, but Talus seized my shoulder. “We’re leaving.” “No.” “The anchor is active. The Flame tested the bond. The objective was achieved.” “She is mine.” Talus’s fingers tightened. Pain tore through my bones. “No,” he said. “You are useful.” The words filled me with rage.

The alien presence pushed back. Hard. A spike of black, oily force shoved into her awareness, trying to numb her, to drown her. She hissed, physically staggering. “Aria?” Talia’s hand grabbed her elbow. “I’m fine,” she managed through clenched teeth. “They have someone…puppeteering the rogues.” “Can you stop them?” “Not yet.” She gathered herself and pushed one more pulse of cool light forward.

The visions shattered like glass, leaving them back in the dark, groaning sub. "We’re here," Elara breathed, her forehead pressed against the viewport. Below them, the bottom of the trench didn't look like rock. It was a sprawling, geometric city of white light. In the center sat the Resonance Engine (the massive alien machine designed to rewrite the planet’s DNA).

White light exploded. The creature shrieked—more mechanical than human. In that second of chaos, she scrambled up, grabbed a dropped rifle, and emptied a full clip into its spinal port. Sparks flew. The monster jerked—then dropped. She didn’t wait. She sprinted, blood pumping, vision blurred. “South wing clear,” she panted into her comm. “Explosives planted. Test subjects secured. One Lazarus unit down.” --- Meanwhile – Data Core Chamber Rafael moved through the upper levels like a blade in the dark. Every guard that saw him died within seconds. He reached the central vault: a massive chamber of servers, glowing blue with encrypted data.
