Thane POV

The sky was still dark when I opened my eyes. It was that deep, early-morning darkness that always reminded me of the battlefield—silent, cold, and waiting. I stood from the bed quietly so I wouldn’t wake Theresa or Shawn. Forger and Calvin were in their room down the hallway, sleeping peacefully, unaware that their father was preparing for another war.

Today was the beginning of Operation Iron Hawk.

I walked straight to my secret closet, the same place I had not touched for years until the rescue mission. My weapons were arranged exactly how I left them. My old military uniform, the one I wore during the battles that earned me the name “God of War,” hung on the wall.

I grabbed my gloves, strapped my vest, holstered my guns, checked the blades I kept for close-combat, and took a deep breath. Something inside my chest felt heavy. A warning. A sign. But I didn’t ignore it. I pushed it aside like every soldier does when danger is calling.

As soon as I stepped out of the closet,

  • The White House Blackout

    Thane POV I felt the surge of adrenaline from the video still pulsing through me. “You will see me soon,” I muttered again, staring at the paused frame of Theresa’s face. “And they will all pay… blood for blood.”The winds outside battered the White House, but inside, a storm of fury, planning, and determination raged. Every resource at my disposal was mobilized. Satellites, drones, special ops—every inch of the battlefield was mapped in my mind. Seventy-two hours. That was all I had. Every second mattered.I walked toward the kitchen to grab some food. My body ached, my head pounding from constant calculations, from rage and fatigue. The new cook, a quiet man with no previous ties to the White House, smiled politely as I entered. “Good evening, Mr. President,” he said. His tone was courteous, almost too calm.I nodded, forcing a smile. “Evening. Make sure everything’s fresh—no mistakes. I need strength for what’s coming.”He handed me a plate. The food smelled delicious, perfectly p

  • Theresa’s Fear (Video Message)

    Thane POVThe video came through my secure device, encrypted, time stamped, and marked urgent. My heart skipped a beat when I saw her face, Theresa. And beside her, Shawn. Both of them are in the small safe room of the White House bunker, illuminated by a single lamp, shadows dancing on the walls.My hands shook as I pressed play. My gut twisted. Every instinct screamed danger. I had faced the world’s worst before, but this… this was different.Theresa’s eyes met the camera first. She was pale, exhausted written across every line of her face, tears streaked on her cheeks. Shawn clutched her mother’s arm, eyes wide, fearful, and Forger sat beside them, silent, but his small hands nervously twisted a corner of his shirt.The message began with a shaky voice, Theresa speaking directly into the camera.“Kaelor… if you’re seeing this… I…” Her voice broke. She swallowed hard, staring straight into the lens. “…I’m scared. I’m scared you won’t survive this… not this one. The enemies… they are

  • Viktor Countdown

    Thane POVThe snowstorm still roared behind us, shaking the mountains like they were made of glass. Martins leaned against the frozen stone wall, breathing heavily, still shaken from almost falling off the collapsing bridge.“Sir… you saved my life again,” Martins whispered, voice raw.I didn’t answer. I didn’t need to. My eyes were fixed on the old fortress door we had just escaped through, the cracked wood trembling from the icy wind blowing in bursts. Every part of me was burning with one thing:**Viktor wants to attack Washington D.C.**He wants to destroy my country, my people, and everything I built. And he thinks I will sit down and watch?Not in this life.“Martins,” I said quietly, “call the White House. Tell them to go into full alert. I don’t care what time it is.”Martins nodded and grabbed his device. “Yes, Mr President.”I turned to the sky. Storm clouds swirled above the mountain peaks like dark spirits. Something inside me shifted—something fierce, something deadly, so

  • The Infiltrtation

    Thane POVMartins and I trudged through the snowy mountain pass. The wreck of the jet still smoldered behind us, a distant reminder of how close we had come to death. Every step on the icy ground threatened to send us tumbling down the cliffs, but we pressed forward. Russell’s fortress loomed ahead—an abandoned, fortress-like compound buried under layers of snow, jagged rocks, and frozen trees.“Sir,” Martins said, his breath visible in the freezing air, “this place is worse than we expected. Look at those guard towers. Snipers have perfect lines of sight from up there. If they see us, we’re done before we even reach the walls.”I tightened my jaw, scanning the fortress with a cold, measured gaze. “That’s why we go quiet. No alarms, no noise, no mistakes. Every soldier, every guard thinks they’re safe—but they’re about to learn what happens when they threaten my bloodline.”Martins nodded, checking his weapons. “Understood, sir. Entry points?”“East wall,” I said, pointing to a narrow

  • The Jet Ambush

    Thane POVThe jet hummed quietly in the night sky as Martins and I leaned over the navigation panel. Outside, the clouds were thick, swallowing the moonlight, hiding the path ahead. We were heading to Europe, tracking Russell’s hideout. The coordinates had been decrypted from intercepted communications. Time was running out. Every second we wasted could mean more danger for my family.“Sir,” Martins said, eyes glued to the radar, “we’re approaching the estimated location. But sensors are picking up unusual signals. Could be interference… or drones.”I tightened my jaw. “Drones. Expect them. Russell wouldn’t make it easy for us. Prepare for evasive maneuvers.”Martins gave me a sharp look. “Evasive maneuvers in a civilian jet? This isn’t a fighter.”I smirked grimly. “I’ll make it a fighter if I have to.”The warning came as a flicker on the radar. Small blips appeared around the jet—too fast, too precise.“Drones!” I shouted. “They’re here!”Martins sprang from his seat, grabbing the

  • Thane Breaks Silence

    Thane POVThe blood-stained dog tag sat heavy in my palm, a constant reminder of Dylan and the stakes we faced. For a long moment, I just stared at it. The quiet hum of the White House around me felt almost deafening. Outside, the city moved on, unaware that the war had already reached the steps of their government, that their president’s family had been kidnapped, that their freedom had been threatened by Viktor, Sahil Jr., and Russell.I turned to Martins, who had been standing silently at attention. “Martins,” I said, voice low, controlled, “prepare the press room. It’s time the citizens hear from me directly. No filters. No lies. No excuses.”His eyes narrowed with concern. “Sir… this is risky. With the recent threats, the kidnappings… going public could give Viktor leverage.”I slammed my fist on the table. “Let him use it. Let him see that fear doesn’t control me. Let him know that I am the God of War, that I protect this nation and my family no matter what. If they want to chal
