EDAL"He's fine," Ezra muttered.I jumped, nearly dropping the bowl in my hands. He was meant to be in bed resting "Where the fuck is he?.” I asked, looking out the room, towards the yard searching for him until I found him,Korr was out there by the armory. He was carrying a heavy iron crate off a young guard's shoulders. The kid had been coughing from the ash-choked air, completely tired from a double-rotation shift. The exact second Korr’s bare hand held onto the kid’s shoulder, the coughing stopped. The guard took a deep, clear breath, his shoulders straightening up instantly."Korr…. He was clawed down to the bone on the northern border four days ago. I watched the skin rip. I watched the blood pool at his feet. Look at him out there. He’s fine."I swallowed harshly. My mind went straight back to a water-damaged, scorched research paper I’d found years ago in a ruined library filing cabinet. The title page was seared into my brain: “Nullifier Carriers: The Genetic Burden o

KORR"Say it again," Ezra growled against my mouth.He didn't give me room to breathe. He slammed me back against the heavy timber door of my office, the wood rattling hard on its hinges. His hands went straight to my throat—not squeezing, just pinning, his fingers hot and thick against my pulse, his thumbs pressing into the soft hollow beneath my jaw."I want you to fuck me, Ezra," I panted, my voice already wrecked, spit slicking my lips. "Right now. Break my back or fuck me—I don't give a shit which. Just fill my hole.""Shut the fuck up, old man," he ordered, low and rough.He dragged his mouth down my neck, biting the thick tendon right above my shoulder blade until I groaned out loud. His teeth sank in—hard enough to leave a bruise, hard enough to make my cock twitch in my trousers. The sour fear that had been on me all morning was gone, replaced by a sudden, violent heat that pooled low in my gut and dripped down my thighs.I was trembling under his grip. My chest heaved agains

KORR"Get cleaned up," I muttered over my shoulder.Ezra just fucking nodded once, his fingers trembling as he reached for his trousers. I tucked my fucking shirt into my trousers and kicked the office door open hasty. I strode down the narrow corridor straight to the tactical room. She was already there, standing by the cracked window. She turned around the second my boots hit the room."Korr, the army outside..." she spoke, stepping toward me hastily. "The papers I found years ago in the library... about Nullifiers—""Not now, Edal," I cut her off, my voice rough. "We have forty-eight hours before that silver-eyed bastard comes back to tear this wall down. We don't have time for paper shit.""But Korr, you don't understand, if Jared is his father—""I said not now," I growled backwards.The heavy iron door to the compound ripped open with a loud, violent screech before she could finish. Rylan walked in, covered in gray ash, smelling like raw gasoline and cold mud. He strode straig

EDAL"You are a reckless piece of shit, Rylan," I spat, shoving his shoulder the second we crossed the threshold into the dark tech room.The heat from the ridge was still pressing through the glass, the sky outside a bruised, burning orange. Jared's front lines were entirely decimated, the old pipeline strategy working exactly how he said it would, but the sheer adrenaline left my chest tight and furious."We won the fucking fight, sweetheart," Rylan sneered, turning on his heel to face me.He didn't even look tired. He looked wired, his leather jacket smelling heavily of smoke and gasoline as he stepped right into my space, his wicked grin splitting wide."Most of his men are burnt to ash before they even touched our wall," Rylan stated, his voice dropping low. "You should be thanking me instead of barking like a stray.""You risked the entire eastern wing," I shot back, my teeth gritted as I pressed my palm flat against his chest to keep him back. "If the pressure backfired, I woul

EDALI scrambled off the iron desk, my hands shaking badly as I pulled my clothes back together.Rylan was standing right in front of me, his chest heaving as he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. He looked irritated... and completely insecure. He always got like this when he felt like his historical hold over me was slipping away.Korr stepped out of the shadows and his eyes were locking onto Rylan with pure, murderous intent. Ezra was right beside him his eyes wide and dark as he and Korr let their hands drop away from their trousers. They had been watching the whole thing... completely accepting it in the shadows, but the silence was over now.“You’re really taking what’s mine in the dark, rogue?” Korr snarled,Rylan didn’t back down. He stepped right into Korr’s space, his jaw clenching. “She was mine before you ever built this fucking compound, commander. You think you can just claim her Hard pass. You don't own her.”Korr didn’t even say another word. Rage blinded him
