my father murmurs. Connall’s eyes narrow. “He was born a Raleigh. There’s no more able leader than a Raleigh.” I dart a glance at Mack. He has his mouth open as if he’s waiting for the first opportunity to cut in, just as I am. But before either of us can, Chris clears his throat, drawing all our gazes back to him. “Luna.” He inclines his head to me before turning to Mack. “Alpha.” Then he walks out of the kitchen without another word.

She closed her eyes for a few minutes and maybe as a reward for the work she had done the days before sleep came to her with ease. Emma woke up with a jolt when the ringtone of her phone blared out into the quiet atmosphere. She picked up the phone and pressed the green call icon and the loudspeaker option. Lincoln’s voice filled the room a second later, “Alpha Emma, there’s a problem.” Emma sat up and kicked the covers off her body “Well what is it?” she asked just as worried as she felt by Lincoln’s voice. “Alan Baker has escaped.”

The news hit the Bright residence like a thunderclap in the middle of a clear night. Cecilia stood frozen in the living room, her tablet screen glowing with the breaking headline that had just shattered their fragile peace: HIGH-PROFILE PRISONER ISABEL CHEN-BLACKWOOD ESCAPES METROPOLITAN FACILITY. WARDEN SUSPECTED ACCOMPLICE. MANHUNT UNDERWAY. Her hands trembled so violently she nearly dropped the device. The room, moments ago filled with the soft sounds of Hope’s laughter as Ethan read her a bedtime story, now felt suffocatingly silent.

If one’s core were to be destroyed, all the training for the past ten years would be for naught. To him, it was utterly unacceptable. Just then, Baldy turned around immediately and dashed towards the exit. He knew that he would be able to escape once he got out of the gates. He didn’t think that Waltz would be able to catch up to him. “Oh? It’s too late to escape now, my friend,” Alex said calmly. He reached out an arm and clenched his fists tightly as if capturing something midair. With the flick of a finger, a flow of electrifying Chi pointed toward Badly, striking him on the back like lightning.

How could he escape a well-secured prison for damn sake? Where were the cops, the people guarding the place? What were they doing when all of this was going on? I wanted to lash out at him but refrained myself. “Can you hear me, Mr Baldwin?” He called out. I let out a loud sigh, breathing in and out to calm myself. “Yes, I can hear you,” “We had no idea this would happen, everything was going well the whole night, and then all of a sudden the alarm went off but before we could do anything he had already escaped,” he explained.

Sadie opens her mouth to speak but a shrill, violent alarm cuts through the building. We all freeze. One witch gasps. “What is that? Another hybrid attack?” Alec’s jaw tightens. “No. That alarm means a prisoner has escaped.” We don’t waste time as we leave the room; all the while I’m wondering who could have escaped. Outside the meeting room, two warriors are already running toward Alec. “Alpha,” they bow, their voices strained. “Who is it?” Alec asked, through clenched teeth. It’s like we can’t get a fucking break. It’s been one storm after another.

“They used me to do their dirty work, okay? Murder, extortion, anything you can think of. It was awful not having a free will.” “Now you know how it feels.” “Yeah, whatever.” He collapsed on one of the wooden chairs in the room. “At the first chance I got, I ran to Arth. It’s funny I still got access to that place. It did not take long to find out why because your uncle made an escape two nights ago.” “Wait, what?” “I know. Wondrous, isn’t it?” “I can’t believe you find all these exciting, Lucas. We are in trouble, do you understand? If Uncle Al escaped, he is coming here.”

One of the guards who was rescued from the edge of the blade by Baldwin widened his eyes as he greeted before stammering “please stay inside…we will……” “Focus” Baldwin barked as he leapt head on into the battle. “Wife, I will be back.” Jack kissed Mira on the forehead before jumping out of the carriage, following Cornelius and Baldwin. “Son……” Aglaya called out wanting to tell him not to rush out and that both Corenlius and Baldwin's prowess were forged in the battle grounds, and this was only child’s play for them but all she could do was call out before he disappeared without a trace.

his subordinate murmured, reminding him of their schedule. Dom withdrew his gaze, a deep frown settling between his brows. He strode powerfully out of the station. At the same time, miles away, Skylar Vance, having escaped her fated death and the dangerous proximity of the enigmatic Major, boarded the public bus headed home. She had just cheated death—and destiny—twice in a single day.
