Pain shot through my shoulder, but I did not care about that. My eyes locked onto the center of the platform where Theo was standing. The boy's small body hovered a few inches off the ground, surrounded by a ring of dark, heavy energy that pushed everything away. His eyes were completely b

Chapter 31
The giant main screen inside the central vault flashed a bright, blinding white, showing a live video feed from a secret underground room that made my blood run cold in an instant.I stopped dead in my tracks. My fingers lost their grip on Theo's small hand for a split second as my eyes locked onto the monitor.Sitting inside a glass medical chair on the screen was a woman with dark hair tied back in a simple knot. Her eyes stared blankly straight ahead as if she were trapped in a deep, endless sleep.Seren dropped into a low, defensive stance beside me. Her eyes went wide with pure shock as she stared at the face on the wall."No," Seren said, her voice shaking slightly. "That is impossible. She was supposed to be
Chapter 30
A wall of red laser beams crisscrossed the observation deck, trapping us in a cage of pure light while Commander Vance smiled across the polished marble floor.The air in the room grew instantly cold. Along the edges of the open deck, the heavy steel shutters locked into place with a loud finality, sealing off every possible route back down the stairs or out to the elevators. We were cut off, surrounded, and outmatched.Seren stepped in front of Theo instantly, her hand dropping to the hilt of her hidden blade. Her eyes didn't show an ounce of fear, only a fierce, biting anger as she stared straight at Vance."You walked right into our trap, Kael," Vance said, taking a slow step forward. He touched the slight smear of dried blood on his cheek, his smile turning sharp and ugl

A blinding flash of blue light exploded right in Commander Vance's face, sending him tumbling backward onto the wet asphalt as the heavy transport trucks behind him plunged into total confusion.I didn't wait to see him get back up. I turned around and sprinted toward the sedan, sliding into the open door just as Vane slammed her foot down on the gas pedal.The car shot forward, tearing through the gap between the stalled transport trucks before the stunned enforcers could raise their weapons to fire."Hold on!" Vane called out, gripping the steering wheel as she took a sharp, sliding turn down a narrow alleyway.In the back seat, Seren pulled Theo close, making sure the boy was safe from the sudden movement. She lo
Chapter 28
The headlights of the heavy armored transport trucks cut through the pouring rain like sharp blades, blinding us instantly and forcing me to slam my foot hard onto the brakes.The tires skidded across the wet asphalt, burning rubber as the sedan came to a sharp, sudden stop just feet away from the metal barrier."Hold on!" I shouted, bracing my hands against the steering wheel.In the back seat, Seren pulled Theo down below the window level, her eyes fixed on the line of armed guards stepping out from behind the trucks. They wore full tactical gear bearing the council's crest, and every single one of them raised a heavy plasma rifle, pointing straight at our windshield.Vane didn't panic. She stared at the barricade
Chapter 27
The red laser dot rested directly on Seren's forehead, and the enforcer captain at the barricade raised his hand to give the final order.My finger tightened against the trigger of the sniper rifle. I did not aim for the guards standing on the street. Instead, I lined up the crosshairs on the main power transformer box mounted right above the barricade, where the wires fed straight into the council's floodlights and plasma shields.Without hesitation, I pulled the trigger.The heavy rifle kicked back against my shoulder with a sharp crack. A second later, the transformer box exploded in a blinding shower of blue sparks and thick black smoke.Instantly, the bright floodlights lighting up the street went completely de
Chapter 26
The red laser dot rested right over Seren's chest, glowing like a tiny drop of blood against her dark jacket.My hand slammed against the steering wheel. Up ahead, the council enforcers stood shoulder to shoulder behind the heavy metal barricade, their plasma rifles pointed straight at the transport van. Seren kept one arm planted firmly in front of Theo, pushing the boy back behind her body while her sharp eyes scanned every single guard on the line."They are not going to wait for a signal," the woman beside me said, her fingers resting lightly on the dashboard. "The sniper on the warehouse roof is under direct orders from the upper command. The moment the team leader gives the hand sign, they pull the trigger.""Not on my watch," I said.
