Chapter 51

Author's Pov "Fuck." Helena cursed as she finishes tying the bandage around her still throbbing eye... Or rather, eye socket. It was still bleeding and no matter what she didn't, it seemed like the bleeding didn't want to stop. "Fuck! Fuck that bitch!" She slammed her hands on the table, veins popping on her forehead. Helena knew that Nyx was a beast in terms of fighting but she didn't think that Nyx would have been able to beat a genetically modified human who was as huge as a giant nor would she have been able to find it's wean point. To be truthful, Helena had not thought that the stitches would be a weak point for the experiment. "If you keep on frowning like that, you are going to burst a blood vessel and start bleeding all over again." A male voice sounded which made Helena turn around instantly, then promptly hissed from the pain. There was a man leaning on the doorway, crossing his arms. He has chestnut brown hair with hazel coloured eyes, he looked like a teddy that could

Chapter 52

Nyx's Pov "The bombs were made with a very old king of technology that can only be found in the suburbs. We will have to complete the istopic and detonator analysis to know exactly where the materials came from and perhaps, we will be able to track just where the bombs came from." "Throw in digital forensics too. If the bomb contains some sort of embedded electronics, you might be able to extract digital evidence from it." Alden murmured. Vasquez nodded, writing down what Alden had said. When he finished, he bowed his head a bit and left. I stared at him, not saying a word. Before I was discharged, Alden had sent people to scourge the Damien's compound to see if we could find anything that could lead us to Victor, after all, we couldn't keep on waiting for him to come to us. Now that I was injured, Helena was bound to be making plans to capture me, I would like to know where Victor was before that happened. And fortunately, Alden's men were able to find a non detonated bomb lying a

Chapter 53

Nyx's Pov If Renata’s fingerprints were on that bomb… then that meant either she had survived the attack. Or someone had kept her body for something far worse."But that's not possible." I murmured, making Alden turn his attention to me, "You asked Vasquez to take care of her body and knowing what you meant, I assume you didn't bury her?" "No, nothing like that." Vasquez answered, shaking his head, which meant they must have completely destroyed the body. "So how come her DNA prints were found on the bomb if she's dead? Don't you think she might have been involved in the bomb making even before she died? And that's why her fingerprints are there? Or maybe there's someone else in this world that has the same set of fingerprints that Renata has. It's a one in like ten million chances but it doesn't mean that it's impossible." Alden didn’t respond immediately. He was deep in thought, his fingers drumming against the armrest of his chair. Vasquez shifted uncomfortably, glancing betwee

Chapter 54

Nyx's Pov "Ah... That's a lie, don't you think, Darius? That's not enough to fool me." I beamed at him, shifting my position a bit so I was slightly leaning forward without putting any strain on my back of waist.Voss scoffed, his lips curving into a smug smirk as he finally looked at me directly, "And who the hell are you supposed to be?” He sneered, “You don’t scare me, sweetheart.”Alden chuckled. It was a low, dark sound that sent a shiver down my spine.“Oh, Voss." He murmured, shaking his head in amusement, "You really should pick your words more carefully.”Voss blinked, clearly confused. His smirk faltered slightly.Alden turned to him fully, his smirk widening, “You think I’m dangerous? Nyx is worse.”Voss’s brow furrowed as he glanced back at me, “Her?” He let out a short laugh, “You expect me to believe that?”I met his gaze with a cold, sharp smile, "You should.”Voss hesitated, the first traces of doubt creeping into his expression.I pushed myself up from the chair, ste

Chapter 55

Nyx's Pov "Close your eyes if you have to, and try again.”He swallowed thickly, his body tensing, but he did as I said. He inhaled deeply, then another breath, slower this time. His fingers twitched slightly against his knee as his brows furrowed in concentration. For a moment, it seemed like he was going to come up empty again. But then, his expression changed. His eyes snapped open, and he exhaled sharply.“O... oh yeah... There was… a smell." He admitted, “It stuck to me the whole damn time we were on the move to their hideout.”I leaned forward slightly, “What kind of smell?”He hesitated, struggling to describe it, “It was… sharp. Strong. Like metal, but not just any metal. It had a burnt quality to it, like rust mixed with something chemical. It was in the air, and it clung to my clothes.”I exchanged a look with Alden and Vasquez. That wasn’t just any smell. That was industrial.“Sounds like a factory or a scrapyard." Vasquez mused.“Or an abandoned warehouse near an old rail

Chapter 56

Nyx's Pov "Finally, I can breathe." I took in a long deep breath as I hid in the corner, away from Alden's eyes. That man had literally locked me in the room while he went out with Vasquez to do God knows what. "What a crazy man, why he acting like he's my husband?" I complained, pushing myself off the wall and walking away from the hotel itself. The night air was cool against my skin as I strolled through the dimly lit streets, the faint hum of the city filling the silence. I wasn’t planning on going far, just enough to clear my head. Alden and Vasquez could handle themselves. I wasn’t some fragile thing that needed locking away.But then, I felt it, a presence. Or rather, presences, there were a lot of them, maybe not a lot but like four or five people. Scratch that, they were four. They were subtle at first, but they were not unnoticeable. I kept walking, not wanting to alert them that I knew the were there, I kept my pace even, but my fingers twitched near the blade strapped to

Chapter 57

Nyx's Pov "So, what are you going to do about him?" Alden pointed to the boy on the bed... Liam or whatever his name was. "What am I going to do? We've paid for his treatment so what next? He was the one who came out while we were fighting so..." I crossed my arms, not willing to look at him. I didn't want to admit it but I felt quite guilty of what I did to him. Even if it was an accident. I had killed a lot of people but I never touched children. Never. "You have to take care of me." The boys suddenly said and I whipped my head towards him. "What? Ha, you must be joking with me right now." I narrowed my eyes at the boy. Liam sat up, his injured arm wrapped in fresh bandages, and stared at me with those ridiculously big, pleading eyes, “You have to take care of me." He repeated, his voice calm but firm.I scoffed, "Yeah, no. That’s not happening.” I turned to Alden, “He’s awake, he’s talking, he’s not dying, our job here is done.”Alden pinched the bridge of his nose, clearly ex

Chapter 58

Chapter 58 Nyx's Pov “Mhm… I don't feel any pain around here anymore. I heal quite fast if I must say.” I muttered to myself, “Almost like a mutant.” A whole three weeks had passed since I got injured, and the wounds had mostly healed, but I still felt them in the back of my mind, an itch beneath the surface, a reminder that I’d let my guard down. Not that the grotesque appearance of that experiment didn't continue to haunt me in my dreams but hey, if you saw something like that, it would give you trauma for life. And I'm pretty sure Victor has more like that in store. I seriously didn't want to face them but with how things were going, it was unlikely. Not to talk about the fact that I had barely seen Liam in the past few days, not because he wasn’t looking for me, but because I had been avoiding him. The boy was literally stuck to me at the hip, always trying to to follow me everywhere I went and sometimes he even acted like a creep. Sitting outside the bathroom waiting for me t

Chapter 59

Chapter 59 Nyx's Pov I frowned, crossing my arms, “What do you mean, something doesn’t feel right?” The hideout was literally in front of us and something didn't feel right? Vasquez was someone who had great intuition so if he said something didn't feel right, then it really didn't. Vasquez tapped a few keys, zooming in on the footage, “Look at this.” The camera feed displayed the lab from different angles, showing its pristine condition. Too pristine. The equipment was untouched, the floors spotless, there wasn’t even a layer of dust. The place wasn't somewhere that one could suspect a hideout of being in. “This location.” Vasquez continued, “We might have found it out ourselves but it doesn't seem like it. To me, it feels like the location was purposely leaked to us in order to lure us there.”My eyes narrowed, “What?” Alden crossed his arms beside me, “Think about it. Victor has been moving in the shadows for years, keeping his experiments hidden. We’ve barely been able to

Chapter 60

Chapter 60Nyx's PovA notification pinged on Vasquez’s laptop after a few minutes of waiting and we all turned toward the screen. Vasquez frowned, quickly navigating through the system, “It’s a file transfer… encrypted. But it’s coming from our recon team. It looks like something that was sent under duress, it's not properly done.” A chill ran down my spine. A file sent under duress? That could only mean one thing; that something had gone wrong. I moved closer, my heart pounding, “Open it, let's see what's going on.” Vasquez tapped a few keys, and the video file loaded. The screen flickered to life, showing the inside of the facility. The footage was grainy, but the images were clear enough, the leader and his men moving cautiously through the corridors, the starving prisoners behind rusted bars, the dim flicker of overhead lights… Then the footage turned chaotic. Darkness. Screams. The flash of gunfire. “It’s a trap. We walked right into it. They're not human, I repeat,
