โAhโฆ I see. So thatโs how it isโฆโRey smiled as he stared at his opponent.Even though his eyes were on the BigFoot-like creature, his senses also observed the ceiling where it fell from.โThere are more of them lurking above.โ Rey couldnโt see them even if he tried. There was a reason he hadnโt detected any until this one landed to confront him.โA Camouflage Skill, maybe? Interestingโฆโ These creatures were masters of blending into their environment, making them nearly impossible to detect unless someone paid close attention.โEven now, I can only detect their movements due to the sound they make and slight distortions they cause in space.โHe still couldnโt see them properly.โI already have [Stealth], which basically allows me to be invisible. But I guess this isnโt too bad either.โ When Rey raised his head and studied the Skill, he figured that the camouflage ability would be more than enough for it to be registered by [Doppel].He sighed softly and turned his attention back to

โWhat do you think about all this, Aldred?โAs Reyโs question echoed in the air, Aldred gave a knowing smileโas if he already expected the question.โItโs probably a ruse. The actual Warehouse must be hidden underground.โ Rey made a slight grimace underneath his mask.โJust as I suspectedโฆโEven with this discovery, it didnโt change what they had to do. โWe still have to invade. The entrance to the underground passage must be here somewhere.โRey almost felt like he was invading the territory of a mafia group or some sort of cartel. He hadnโt done it before, but it seemed like this was how it would feel.โThis establishment is run by Evals Redart, the biggest guy in business in the South.โ Aldred went on, his tone still retaining the same hint of amusement from earlier.โI donโt imagine that weโd run into him here, but if we do, then the KariBlanc Group would like to stay out of it.โRey let out a sigh and shrugged lightly.โI hadnโt planned for both of you to come inside with me a

Beth's POV I woke up the next morning pensive and annoyed, partly because I had a restless night punctuated with brief dreams and overthinking. I was motionless for a minute as I tried to remember the details of the dream but gave up when I couldn't recall it.I looked at my phone and groaned as I saw the time. I had overslept which was something that happened rarely as I was a stickler for routine. With a manic burst of energy, I got up and began preparing for work. I needed no one to tell me that my day was only going to get more weird.Once my schedule was broken, it was only natural that the rest of the day became shitty. I knew that much from experience.My pensive mood continued as I drove to the office and I only heard my name after I had been called at least thrice. I snapped at Brenda when she got in my business then asked her to call a mandatory meeting for all employees.She didn't hurry to do it but hesitated a bit and I knew she was curious as to why I was calling a me

Dorian's POV I stared uninterestedly at the runway as the plane shuddered to a stop, and the seatbelt sign dings off. I stood up, unbuckled and lurched forward, only to be stopped by the wall of bodies cramming the aisle and I was almost pushed over.I scowled deeply when people began yanking their bags from the overhead compartments like it was a race, the same way Americans did. It was everything different from what I thought Germany to be.Someoneโs backpack swung dangerously close to my face and I ducked. I gripped the armrest, exhaling through my nose as I waited for the madness of the economy class to die down.I glanced at my phoneโno signal yet. The flight attendant was smiling that tired, practiced smile, reminding us to be orderly. No one listened. The line inched forward, the guy ahead of me struggling with an overstuffed duffel. I shifted my weight impatiently, my carry-on wedged between my feet. The air was hotter and stuffier, like the plane itself was urging us to lea

Dorian's POV That night, as soon as we were alone in the hotel room, words became unnecessary as we rushed at each other. The tension and the raw emotions that had been simmering beneath my skin all burst free the moment I kissed her. Anna melted into me, her fingers threading through my hair as if afraid I would disappear.I wasnโt sure if this was real or some cruel illusion, but I didnโt care. She was warm, solid, aliveโand that was all that mattered.We spent the night tangled together, whispering each otherโs names and relearning the feel of one anotherโs bodies. Every touch was urgent, every kiss desperate, as if making up for lost time. And when exhaustion finally claimed us, I held her close, unwilling to let go even in sleep.The next morning, sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains, casting golden patterns on the bed. Anna stirred beside me, her bare skin warm against mine. I watched her face for a moment, memorizing the peaceful rise and fall of her breathing, the way

Anna's POVThe cold night air was too much for me as we ran past Berlinโs darkened alleys. The city lights were particularly bright but we kept to the shadows so we wouldn't be seen.My heart pounded as I ran but I kept moving. Dorianโs grip on my hand was firm, pulling me forward, guiding me as if he could sense the safest paths.We barely spoke, just exchanged quick glances as we wove through the streets. Dorian tried calling the organizationโs emergency line, his jaw tightening when no one answered. A second call. Nothing. The third went straight to voicemail. He cursed under his breath. We were on our own.The weight of that realization pressed down on me. Whoever had attacked us knew exactly where we were. They had planned this. And now, with our protectors possibly dead, we had no backup. No weapons. No safe place to go. I shuddered as I feared what they'd do if they caught us.

Anna's POV The neon light of the rundown motel flickered as Dorian parked the motorcycle behind the building, out of sight from the main road. My legs were shaking as I came down, barely catching myself before my knees gave out. Every muscle in my body ached, but I forced myself to move. We couldnโt rest yet.Dorian scanned the empty lot, his sharp eyes searching for threats. When he was satisfied we werenโt being followed, he gestured for me to follow. The motelโs chipped paint and broken sign told me everything I needed to knowโno security cameras, no questions asked.Inside, the air smelled of stale cigarettes and mildew. The receptionist barely glanced at us as Dorian handed over cash, securing a key without a word. He didnโt ask how long weโd stay, and I was grateful for that.The moment we stepped into the room, I locked the door and sagged against it, pressing my forehead to the cold wood.

Anna's POV The train rocked gently as it sped through the tunnels and Dorian and I were pressed into a corner near the doors, heads down as we tried to blend in. My heart was still beating rapidly as I was jittery from what we had gone through.Across the car, a man in a dark jacket shifted slightly, glancing at his phone. I stiffened. Was he watching us? Or was my paranoia getting the best of me?Dorian must have noticed my tension because he leaned in, voice low. โStay calm. If they had people on the train, weโd know by now.โI nodded, but the tension coiled in my chest refused to ease. The train rattled through the tunnels, fluorescent lights flickering overhead. Everything felt like a threat and I hated how jumpy I felt, not that I could help it.Dorianโs grip on my wrist tightenedโa silent reassurance. โBreathe,โ he murmured.The man in the dark jacket stood, heading for the next car. I tracked his movements until he disappeared.Still, the unease remained.โWe need to get off

Anna's POV "You were meant to be an experiment," Dr. Reinhardt said to me leaning over to emphasise his words.I wondered what I had done to warrant the attention of this mad German scientist. I knew though that it had to be because of Dorian mixing up with the wrong crowd.The heavy door behind Reinhardt hissed open and a guard in a black uniform stepped in and Reinhardt nodded toward me."Prepare her for transport."I yanked at the restraints with all the strength I could summon. I wasnโt going to let them win like this.The guard moved closer and just then the lights flickered.The sudden dimming made Reinhardt pause and looked up at the overhead lamps which buzzed as if it was struggling for power. Then, in a blink, red emergency lights flooded the room.A low alarm groaned through the facility and the pitch kept increasing.Something was wrong.Reinhardtโs expression tightened as he turned toward the guard. "Find out whatโ"~BOOM!!!~The entire room shook and dust rained down

Sophia's POV Before I could react, hands grabbed me from behind, yanking me backward. I thrashed around but they were too strong. A sharp sting burst across my skull as someone struck me, my vision blurring with pain."Dorianโ" I barely managed before they forced me down.I caught a glimpse of him fighting, moving like a blurโuntil a taserโs electric crackle filled the air. His body convulsed, muscles locking up as he collapsed.โDorian!โA thick bag was shoved over my head, muffling my scream. Thenโdarkness.When I came to, my head throbbed like Iโd been hit by a freight train. My body was heavy, sluggish. I tried to move, but resistance met meโstraps. Thick, unyielding. My wrists, my ankles, even my torso were pinned to a cold metal table.Panic surged through me. My breath came in ragged gasps as my mind raced. Where was I? Where was Dorian?Footsteps. Slow, deliberate.A shadow passed over me, the dim overhead light shifting. Then, a voiceโsmooth, practiced, unsettling.โAnna.โ
