THEO POV

The river route smelled like oil, rust, and old water.

It was a smuggler's path-concrete embankments, rusted ladders and tunnels half-swallowed by the city. No cameras. No signal, just the sound of water moving fast and the occasional drip from overhead pipes.

I leaned against Rian as we walked, my breathing still uneven. The forced heat had left me drained and shaky. Kael walked on my other side, close but not touching.

Lucien led, gun in hand, eyes scanning every shadow, he

  • SCENTBOUND   Chapter 14 - Black Site

    I knew it was the black site the second I opened my eyes. Sub-level 4, facility K-9 old Task Force holding. Decommissioned on paper, still running off the books. My hands were zip-tied again, my head still rang from the takedown at the border. "Rian Kade," a voice said from the dark. "Unregistered Enigma. Bounty confirmed, you're popular." The light flicked on. Agent Mirelle. Task Force. Mid-30s, sharp eyes, she had been Kael's second before he walked out. "Where's Kael?" I asked. "Not here," she replied. " And if he was, he wouldn't be helping you." I kept my face blank. "Then what do you want?" "Answers," she leaned forward, elbows on the steel table. "Where's the Omega?" I smiled, slow and sharp. "You first, where's Lucien?" Mirelle's jaw tightened "He escaped." "Good," I said. " Now you have to kill me or I walk away." Her eyes narrowed. "You think you're untouchable." "I think you're scared of what happens if Lucien comes." The door opened befor

  • SCENTBOUND   Chapter 13 - Across The Line

    The border wasn't a wall, it was a scar. Old concertina wire, rusted watchtowers and a stretch of no-man's-land that still smelled like ozone from the last skirmish three year's ago. The council called it a "Containment zone" Everyone else called it the line. we reached it at dawn. Lucien killed the engine a kilometer out. "Cameras are blind here for 22 minutes. That's our window." Kael was already out of the car, scouting ahead. He moved like a ghost low and quiet checking sightlines. Theo stayed in the back seat, eyes closed, conserving energy, the heat had passed but it had taken too much out of him. I sat beside Lucien watching Kael through the windshield. "He's good," I said quietly. "He's trained to be, Lucien replied, "The question is whether he's trained to stop." Kael signaled. Clear. We moved. crossing the line on foot was faster than trying to drive. The car would be flagged the second it hit a scanner. Lucien carried our pack. Kael carried Theo when his

  • SCENTBOUND   Chapter 12 - Together

    RIAN POV "Down!" Lucien hissed, dragging me off the bed onto the floor. His body covered mine before I could think to move. Outside, Boots hit the dirt and voices. "Council forces," Kael said from the doorway rifle already raised, his voice was flat but his hands were shaking. "They found us." Theo sat up, eyes wide and glassy. "How many?" "Too many," Kael said. "And they're not here to negotiate." Lucien was already moving, pulling me to my feet. "We need the back exit now." "No," I said, pulling away. "We fight." Lucien grabbed my chin, forcing me to look at him. His eyes were cold and furious. "You die if you fight, I'm not losing you." "Then don't let me fight alone." For a second I thought he would argue. Then his jaw clenched and he nodded once. "Stay behind me." Kael moved to Theo, helping him up. "Can you run." Theo nodded, though I could see the effort it took, at that moment I knew running was the best option. "Yeah," he said. "Good cause we are

  • SCENTBOUND   Chapter 11 - The Illusion Of Safety

    RIAN POV The safehouse sat at the edge of a dead orchard, twenty kilometers past the last city checkpoint. One floor, no windows on the ground level, Lucien called it off-grid I called it a tomb with plumbing. But it had a lock that worked, a generator that hummed and no Task Force drones in the sky. For now that was enough. Theo collapsed on the cot the second we got inside. Kael didn't leave his side, he just sat on the floor beside him, close enough to catch him if he fell but far enough not to crowed. Lucien locked the door, checked the perimeter cameras twice, then turned to me. "You're pale," he said. "So are you," I shot back. He didn't smile. "When did you last sleep." "Before the breach." "Then sleep now," I shook my head. "Not until you you tell me what the council wants with Theo." Lucien's jaw tightened. "They want leverage. Omegas with instable heats can be weaponized. They wanted to see if they could force it and control it. "And Theo?" "They t

His jaw was tight, scent sharp with restrained aggression. "Stop," Kael said suddenly. we froze. He held up a hand, listening, water dripping, our breathing, nothing else. "Sorry, I heard it wrong." Lucien didn't argue, he just moved us deeper into the tunnel away from the mainland. I stumbled but Rian caught me before I could hit the ground. "Easy, I have got you," he murmured. My eyes met his, glassy but clear. "I am sorry, I am slowing

  • SCENTBOUND   Chapter 9 - Breach

    RIAN POV The alarm didn't scream, it humed. I was awake before it finished its first cycle, that's what years of running does to you. Lucien was already on his feet, gun in hand, moving toward the door. Kael was outside, shouting orders I couldn't hear through the reinforced steel. "Stay with Theo," Lucien said without looking back. "If it gets bad, take the maintenance shaft. Code 7741." "Like hell i am staying," I said, grabbing my jacket. His jaw tightened. "Rian-" "No, not this time." I wasn't staying behind, not while Theo was still weak to run on his own. Lucien stared at me for a second then nodded once."Stay behind me."The door opened into chaos. Smoke, shouting. The smell of burnt wiring and ozone. Task Force units had breached the east wing, four of them, tactical gear, rifles raised. Kael was in front of them, hands up. "Stand down!" he shouted. "These are protected assets under section 9, clause 3!" "Bullshit, Rourke," one of the agents spat. "c
