The Final Coordinates
Chapter 81: The Final CoordinatesThe coordinates led to a small town three hours north. Nothing special. A main street, a diner, a gas station. The kind of place people went to disappear.Adrian drove. Lena sat beside him. Rylan was in the back, watching the road behind them for tails."Why would Margaret leave us coordinates?" Lena asked. "After everything, why help us?""Maybe she wanted to clear her conscience," Rylan said. "Or maybe it's a trap."Adrian gripped the wheel tighter. "Only one way to find out."The town was quiet. Too quiet. They parked near the diner, walked to the address Rylan had decoded.An old building. Boarded up. Forgotten.Adrian tried the door. Locked.Rylan pulled out a lockpick, had it open in seconds.Inside, dust. Cobwebs. Shadows.And in the center of the room, a small box on a pedestal.Adrian approached slowly, heart pounding.The box was wooden, carved with symbols he didn't recognize. He opened it.Inside, a key. Old.

The Founder's Keep
Chapter 82: The Founders' KeepThe road to the Founders' Keep was long and winding, cutting through mountains that seemed to touch the sky.

She'd written about the Circle, about its origins, about the families who'd founded it centuries ago. But she'd never named them. Never revealed where they'd made their pact.Until the map.The Founders' Keep. A place hidden from history, buried in the mountains.

The sister's Confession
Chapter 83: The Sister's ConfessionThe room felt smaller with Sarah's words hanging in the air. Adrian stood with his back against the door, Lena beside him, the weight of another betrayal pressing down.Sarah sat on the edge of the bed, her hands folded in her lap, tears still wet on her cheeks. She looked small. Scared. Nothing like the mysterious watcher who'd sent cryptic texts for months."How long?" Adrian asked. His voice was quiet, but it cut through the silence like a blade."Since the beginning," Sarah whispered. "Since before you found me. I've been watching you for years.""Years?"She nodded. "After Mom died—your birth mother—I was taken in by people who knew her. People who were fighting the Circle. They taught me how to survive. How to hide. How to watch."Adrian's hands clenched. "And they taught you to lie to me.""They taught me to protect you." She looked up, her eyes pleading. "Everything I did, I did to keep you safe."Lena spoke quietly. "The texts. The warnings
