Lyra stared at him, her crystal blue eyes wide with disbelief, shame and defeat now replacing the boredom she had so carefully maintained. She had been silenced. Her will, which had always been able to shatter any Incubus, was paralyzed before the spiritual storm Desmond unleashed.“What… what energy did you just use?” she hissed, her voice hoarse and fragile, devoid of the intoxicating Siren resonance. “That wasn’t lust—it was… pure chaos. Like shards of glass shot into the soul.”Desmond smirked, a cold, triumphant smile. “That’s the desire you claimed I couldn’t control, Siren. The locked, forbidden desire, stronger than your cheap little charm.”He stepped forward, closing the distance between them. Lyra took a step back, but her back hit the microphone stand. She was trapped.“I told you, I don’t need you to submit,” Desmond continued, his voice now returning

“GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY SISTER!”Sella’s high-pitched scream tore through the air, shattering the fragile spell that had just formed between Desmond and Lyra. Driven by blind Nephilim rage, Sella lunged forward, her short nails raised like claws, aiming for the Siren’s perfect face.Rina moved a fraction of a second to intercept her, but she didn’t need to.Lyra didn’t even turn her head. She didn't shift. She only sighed, a tired, bored puff of air, yet the exhale carried a single, imperceptible note to the average ear. A pure frequency that struck Sella like an invisible wall.Sella’s body froze mid-motion. Her eyes, which had been blazing with fury, suddenly went blank, her expression paralyzed. She stopped completely, her hand mere inches from Lyra’s silver dress, as if she had become a statue frozen in time.“A noisy puppy,” Lyra hissed, her crystal blue eyes now turning to Rina, who s

"I can't," Desmond groaned, clutching his chest. His vision was blurring. His DP was draining fast. 10%. "I'll pass out before I even reach the third step.""You don't have a choice, Demon!" Rina stepped forward, her hand darting to the back of Desmond's neck, seizing a nerve point. "I can't give you any more suppressants. You need to get DP now, or your Incubus Rage is going to suck me dry of energy.""Don't touch him!"Sella's sharp voice boomed from the hallway behind them. Sella had disobeyed Desmond's orders, leaving the car and following them. She stood in the doorway, her eyes radiating pure anger and worry. Her figure, draped in a black hoodie, contrasted sharply with the dim hallway."Who do you think you are, Chameleon Demon?" Sella challenged. "Get your hands off him!""Oh, look who decided to show up," Rina sneered, ignoring Sella and keeping her grip on Desmond. "The jealous little brat. Want to join the game, Kid?""I am not a

“Nine… minutes,” Desmond hissed, each word feeling like swallowing shards of glass.“Damn it, Rina cursed softly. She glanced at Sella. “Your energy is poison to him right now. Back off.” Then she looked at Olivia. “And you, your detonator is useless if our main target dies a stupid death on the sidewalk.”“So what are we supposed to do?” Olivia asked, sounding helpless for the first time.“We need a stable power source,” Rina explained, her eyes darting toward the club entrance, which was guarded by two hulking men in suits. “And the only most potent charger in that building right now is our target. The Siren.”“Lyra?” Desmond choked out, his breath ragged. “You want me to approach an Incubus-killing Siren in this state?”“You don’t have a choice,” Rina replied. She stood and pulled Desmond up with surprising strength. Des

“Enough!” Desmond snapped, his voice booming inside the car. “Listen up. Rina, you know the layout of the Archon Club. You’ll be our eyes and ears. You go in first, find a position, and give us intel on the number of guards and Kael’s location.”Rina nodded briefly. “Can be arranged. I can enter through the kitchen ventilation.”“Good,” Desmond continued, now glancing at Olivia via the rearview mirror. “You, Olivia. You’ll be our comms operator. Wait across the street at that café. From there, you can see the main entrance. Watch everyone who enters and exits. If anything is strange, let me know immediately. And that detonator,” Desmond paused briefly, “hold onto it tight. If I give the ‘red’ signal, and only if I give that signal, then you use it.”“What is the red signal?” Olivia asked suspiciously.“It’s the signal that A

“No!” Sella cut him off. “Dad’s promise was for me to look after you! Because Dad knew you were weak! But you’re not weak anymore, are you? So that promise is void now. We’re equals now. Partners.”Edi stared at her, stunned by the way Sella twisted their shared memories.“So, I’m asking one more time, partner,” Sella said, her tone reverting to cold and calculated. “Are you going to take me, or do I have to find my own way to follow you to the Archon Club?”“How do you know the name of that club?” Edi asked, shocked.Sella offered a slight smile. “Your phone is incredibly useful, big brother. I managed to see the address in one of the messages from the Chameleon before you snatched it away. I might not know how to fight, but I’m not stupid.”Edi felt trapped in a web spun by his own sister. Every one of his arguments was shattered. Every attempt h
