They were certainly not being monitored amidst the trees, but Rain always kept her tongue still when it came to making remarks that could potentially be taken as speaking out against the Motherhood.

I walked closer and followed its gaze, fixed on the vast emptiness ahead, completely expressionless. “Why are you alone?” I asked, my voice hoarse. No answer. Suddenly, the ground gave way beneath me, and I found myself falling into an abyss. My heart ached—not from fear of the fall or the unknown, but from the thought of leaving that wolf alone again. Looking around, I realized I wasn’t the only one falling. Dozens of people were plummeting with me, their faces twisted in panic and horror, their screams echoing through the void.

The word hangs in the air. The others shift slightly. I study her for a long moment then smile "I will never settle for a truce." "You think this is a failure?" My voice is quiet. "Let me explain something to you." I rise from my seat "Empires don't fall because of one attack." I take a step. "They fall because of repeated weakness." "They fall because the person at the top..." I stop beside Elaine. "...allows themselves to be challenged without consequence." She doesn't move.

No deliveries were scheduled for Sundays, yet here they were—clear signs of movement. Meekey crouched by a dumpster and waited. Sure enough, thirty minutes later, a beat-up gray van rolled down the alley, paused at the door, and honked twice. The back opened from the inside.

If he had indeed lost control of himself and kissed Archer then and there, then he would have been no different from Brutus, taking advantage of Archer while he was powerless. Archer suddenly felt another dizzy spell. He couldn't even stand on his feet anymore.

"Vile creatures, thinking they can get away with anything. That poor woman will probably end up with the medical bills while they saunter away without a care." I grimaced in agreement.

The golden light vanished, leaving him slumped against the railing, his expensive suit charred, his eyes wide and vacant. The "Consensus" had been ripped out of his brain, leaving a void where his ego used to be. Leo stood over him, his breath coming in ragged hitches. He looked down at the courtyard.
