Chapter124 Armageddon

Beep. Beep. Beep.As was typical, Xavier rose before the sun, and he knew that it would be well past midnight by the time he laid his head back down tonight. He tossed out an arm and quieted his alarm clock with an unceremonious smack of his palm. He sat up and stretched, letting only the slightest grunt of pain escape his lips as his fresher scars tugged and pulled along with his seemingly perpetually tense muscles. The attack on Alliance Tower had kickstarted his new collection of battle marks, but goddess knew that he’d racked up plenty more since then.And goddess knew he’d have even more to show by the time this was finished.Before the attack, he’d start the day with a shower before stopping past a café or a diner for a quick breakfast. Now, After the attack, water was short, food was short, and rationing for three hundred or so lost souls meant that Xavier had a long list of people to ensure got settled for the day before he got e

Chapter125 Wayward Sons

Twenty-four hours after Ava dropped that bomb, the Green Light Club was in a state of frenetic chaos. Xavier damn near couldn’t believe that after months of fruitless probing, Ava had been able to pry something so valuable out of Noah. Not that Xavier didn’t have faith in his mate’s abilities – by now, she’d gone above and beyond for their cause, even being as far away as she was. They were hardly in a place where his confession would be appropriate, but she’d been his rock those first few goddess-awful weeks he’d spent in convalescence recovering from the extensive wounds he’d sustained during the attack on Alliance Tower.He’d sustained three broken ribs, a few displaced vertebrae, a myriad of internal lacerations, lesions, and a host of fractured bones. All topped off with burns of various degrees and the effects of smoke inhalation. It had taken hours of daily healing sessions with Jack, followed up with human medi

Chapter126 What Hurts The Most

Ava shifted uncomfortably in the plush upholstered seat as she peered around the tastefully decorated room. The pleasantly packed bookshelves and walls decorated with calming landscapes were designed to put people like her at ease. But, even after all of this time, she still found it difficult to get settled in enough to concentrate on opening up.Which is a ridiculous concept in and of itself, she scoffed to herself. The idea that relaxation in any form is redundant…and not to mention utterly frustrating–“Ava.”Her therapist’s soft but firm voice drew her attention back to the present. Right. She was at therapy. Where she had called this emergency session because, every so often, her anxieties grew just a touch too loud to handle on her own. “You know that this only works if you want it to,” her therapist, Dr. Kim Schuster, reminded her. “You know, you usually only get this uncomfortable when you’re withho

Chapter127 Prisoners of War

The sounds of gunfire could clearly be heard echoing through the dense brush of trees as Xavier and his convoy raced through the untamed wilds of northeastern woodlands. The ride was hard and unforgiving; there were no trails to follow, no roads to smooth the way, for the simple fact that the Red Moon dungeon was strategically located in the harshest environment available within their region. Where the logic stands that to keep a prison as big as Red Moon’s hidden somewhere remote, it made it hell to reach in case of emergency. But then, Xavier supposed, there probably weren’t very many instances that would constitute an emergency worth risking the time and resources required to make such a trip.Typical, he snarled inwardly. In the six months since their world had gone completely to shit, it had become painfully clear to Xavier that the true enemy wasn’t the asshole humans vigilantes or even Noah perpetuating his mother’s ill-conceived war. No, wh

Chapter128 On Your Left

Dylan knew the jig was up the minute the enemy stopped firing. For longer than he liked to consider, the woods outside the Red Moon prison had been awash in a field of smattering, staccato gunfire, meant as more than an intimidation tactic passed between the two teams than any effective means of attack.But when he realized it had been at least five minutes between rounds, Dylan knew sure as shit that they didn’t break for lunch. His ears strained, desperate to pick up the thunderous sound of wheels as backup arrived. Whether it was their own or the enemy’s was a problem to be addressed when someone anyone fucking arrived. But Dylan didn’t hear the sound of armored SUVs. And judging by the confused, wary glances he was getting from the rest of his team, they were just as unsettled by the new onslaught of silence.“I don’t hear anything,” said one of the remaining males from his original team. “Are we in the clear?”

Chapter129 Storm Bringers

The human sycophant in Xavier’s grasp began to cackle and hack with a craze Xavier had never before witnessed. Snarling, he let go of his grip on the man, satisfied with the sick thud he made down below.Xavier made his way back to his party through the treetops, all the while casting around intent on finding a break in the fighting – a way to get his crew to relative safety. But everywhere, as far as the eye could see, was blocked by a swarm of claws and gunfire. The path to the cars, the way back toward the prison, all gone.Shit.He dropped down and retook his place in the formation but stayed in his half-formed state.“How’s it looking, Michaels?” Liam gritted out as he booted a Wolf away from him long enough for another from their team to use their enhanced strength to knock the wayward female over the head. She slumped to the ground, unconscious but still alive.“Not. Good.” Xavier spat. “There is no way

Chapter130 Rest For The Weary

“We made it out. For the most part, everyone is safe thanks to you, Ava.”Relief left her weak, her knees turning to jelly as she slid down the wall behind her until she was little more than a shivering lump on the floor. Goddess, it had worked. The idea had been so far-fetched as to be considered unlikely, at the absolute best.While she considered Marnie, Ava was very aware of the fact that they were near perfect strangers. She knew next to nothing about witches or magic – had no real reason to believe that Marnie could do anything to help Xavier and the other fighters, much less if she even would.But the witch had been the only person she knew who might even be remotely capable of making a difference, so she called her, not with any particular plan in mind, but just to ask the witch for an idea on what she could do next. To Ava’s surprise, Marnie had agreed immediately – almost before Ava had finished uttering her plea, the witch said

Chapter131 Revisionist History

“Tell me, who can remember what our most important weapon is?” Ava asked as she paced back and forth, addressing the class of eager youngsters.Space was limited in the small room that had been set aside for their practice gym, but for their purposes, it worked just fine. Ava walked the length of the foam exercise mat and surveyed her class. Her class! It still floored her that Elodie had entrusted her, a perfect stranger, to instill their children with this vital information that very well may make a critical difference for them one day.Her first few lessons, she’d been a nervous wreck, stumbling her way through a homemade handout that she’d spent hours meticulously drafting at the local library the day before. Thankfully, the kids were patient, used to as they were with meeting new people with a wide variety of personal baggage. Now, two weeks and a handful of classes later, Miss Ava was far more comfortable with her students. But what was

Chapter132 In Search Of New Rhodes

The topic of Bren’s studies swirled around in Ava’s head for days after their meeting in the Berkeley library ended. It was the sort of information that could mean nothing or everything depending on how just a few missing details panned out. If Bren’s library books were correct, the Northeastern Alliance had been built on a lie. If her hunch was correct, one of the United States’ largest free regions had been built on genocide.As if there weren’t enough of that in this country’s history, Ava sighed.But this was something that had always bothered her during her studies growing up. Red Moon’s personal records had always been in tatters if they had ever been intact at all. But the fact that there was no definitive record about the specific events leading up to the Alliance’s founding? It was the second-largest social institution in the United States! And what had made it into her lessons read more like a manifesto than a

Chapter133 Dire Straits

Xavier walked through the long winding stone corridors of the Red Moon and tried his fucking hardest not to get sick. To call the conditions the inmates had been living under would be an understatement so severe it would require an unhealthy dose of cognitive dissonance to even utter.The facility was big, far larger than the actual number of current inmates called for. And so it baffled him to no end why when the building could fit two prisoners per cell with relative comfort, there was so much fucking evidence suggesting that so many cells were crammed to bursting with two or three times that amount. And it was filthy. From the inmate’s sleeping quarters to the cafeteria to the shower rooms, every visible surface was covered in a thick layer of grime. Unsettling russet splotches were smeared periodically across walls, the floors, even the goddess damned ceiling. One of their men who had been in charge of scouting out the prison had reported back significant eviden
