~08~ Chiara The chattering of the keyboard filled my office as I abused G****e, YouTube, TikTok, and I* since morning. Not caring about the chaos that transpired out there. The chaos that was born out of somebody’s consequences. When I robbed the hard drive from the Ministry of Defense’s server room, I brought it to Xander first. Since he was a fed and tech-savvy, he decrypted it and copied the information before encrypting it again as though it were new before handing it to Enzo.

It seemed like as good a spot as any to settle down and Matt was pretty keen to get as far away from the burial chamber as he could. Clayton poured the coarse salt out, surrounding the circle of stones. He was careful not to leave any gaps or breaks along the way, wanting to be absolutely certain that they got everything right to avoid any mishaps with the ritual. While Clayton was spreading out the salt, Matt and Camden stood around in their chosen spot with their respective vials, examining them under the moonlight. Camden's was a clear, brown liquid while Matt's was a vivid yellow. "So do we take them at the same time?" Camden asked with uncertainty. "I think so... Dr Liam didn't say othe

he said sharply. One of the men seated at the table, Daniel, quickly adjusted his laptop, fingers moving fast. “This one?” Frank leaned closer, his eyes narrowing. “Yes. That transfer… trace it.” Daniel nodded, typing rapidly. “It’s routed through three offshore accounts… Cayman, then Singapore… then back here.” He paused, his brows knitting together. “It’s layered. Someone tried to hide this deep.” Frank let out a low, humorless chuckle. “Of course they did. It’s the Ryders. They don’t make sloppy mistakes.”

I had mastered the art and craft of failing in everything I do. I walked into the library, my body soaked head to toe, water dripping all over the floors of the library, my brown hair looking wet and not organized, I could see him sitting in a corner. When Lucas had described him, he had done him a great injustice, he was way better looking than the mental picture I had of him, he had all black hair, a tattoo-covered body, he wore black short sleeves with black jeans and black boots. He looked like the human version of a perfectly cut handsome robot, his brows were properly arched and his eyes were coffee brown, his hair was curly and his shoulder was broad, as he stood up and approached me,

“I don’t thi‍nk it’s S‍co‍tt’s.” Jess bli‍nked, confused. “What do you mean, y⁠ou don’t think? Then whose…?” Her brows furrowed​ in worry. Sadie h⁠esitated, twi‍sting her‍ fingers together an‌xiously. “The‍re ar⁠e so​me things I haven’t told anyo​ne. Not even Scott. I’ve be‍en so‌ con⁠fused… and hones‌tly, te‌r‍rified.”

Streams of data rolled across every screen — server activity graphs, internal communication trails, encrypted lines of code blinking in real time. What used to be an empire of clean order was now chaos barely contained by willpower. Alex stood with his sleeves rolled up, the top button of his shirt undone — a rare concession to exhaustion. His sharp eyes moved across the screens, taking in every inconsistency, every anomaly. “Run the pattern again,” he said, voice clipped, low. A technician seated nearby — a young man from cybersecurity, pale and visibly nervous — nodded quickly and reinitiated the analysis. Lines of data blurred. On one feed, emails were being reconstructed — entire threads

I had myself shamefully walk back to my seat and picked up side gossips from Greg saying, "It isn't difficult to know one with brains." My fist clenched. If I hadn't already embarrassed myself somehow, I would have driven a hard punch into his mouth. Could save that for another day. I hissed and sat back at my desk. "This death was caused by vagal failure." She paused and i noticed the professor nodding, so she was correct. That made something in my belly knot. "From his limbs and wolf features, I can tell he's an Alpha, not an Omega—point of correction to Jayden. Seems he has to do more basic anatomy." She said it calmly and intuitively insulting, every nuance of it seeping hard into my pri
