Staying lean and limber was second nature. Not an ounce of fat on him—he was built for battle, not for show. Once he finished, he headed inside, packing his gear into the shuttle he’d dubbed Champion. Today wasn’t just any day. It was launch day. Champion had once been a police flier, but these days it was reserved for special ops—no frills, no luxury—just the basics and a prayer that nothing would go sideways. The council didn’t expect trouble. Bastion wasn’t so sure. He caught sight of his father watching

He understands. “The stitching is delicate,” he murmurs. “It won’t hold under strain,” I reply softly. Our eyes meet. Electricity flares through my body. “You’re trembling,” he says. I let a faint smile touch my mouth. “I’m coiled.” Something dark flashes through his gaze. Possessive, protective, and lethal. He lowers his voice further. “They’ve layered the sigils.” “I know.” “Bastion’s left hand,” he says carefully. “He carries the trigger.”

The buffer I created holds. Beyond that, other presences. Kaelia, two floors up, her fierce loyalty a warm glow. Maison, close and steady, his concern for me like a gentle pressure. Other Shields throughout the compound, their energies sharp and focused, honed by generations of hunting. And then, farther still, something unexpected. Bastien.

Then he would face the embodiment of terror. With supernatural speed, I darted across the street and dove into the alley between the two buildings.

I heard his heart rate speed up, and I smiled. “You stole from the wrong person,” I said, adding a growl at the end.

Perhaps I would be able to fix myself. "Good morning, Alpha Delvin." His Beta shook my hands before letting me in. From the way he looked at me I wondered if he could read everything that was going through my mind at the moment. I tensed while I spoke. My deep voice rushed over me and filled my insides with a darker feeling it shouldn’t. As I stepped indoors, my eyes skimmed all the environs as a burning feeling flashed across my mind It felt obscene what was going through my mind —I felt my mate mark igniting with an aura as though my mate was around —

They’re using frequency dampeners and energy shields... nothing we built in the old defense system can stop them for long. Lucien’s power is feeding their weapons.”

If he wasn't defending me all of this would not have happened. Maybe I would just be resting right now. I sucked in my breath and prayed Fabio was all right. Because if he doesn't, I would get blamed for all of it.

I hope, for her sake, that that wasn't a permanent marker. Bell closes her eyes in fury as if restraining herself from committing a violent crime and landing up in jail. In all honesty, I don't blame her. The Bensten parents should be the ones behind bars for bringing Troy to this planet in the first place. They're fully responsible for the mess that he is.
