I paced in the southern safe house, my patience thinning with every minute. News had just come in about the explosion at Carter Holdings. I frowned, annoyed.

Clara had overreacted again. I had wanted a slow downfall, a series of w would weaken Amy and Daniel without drawing attention. This reckless a explosions, alarms, and chaos risked exposing us all.

The masked buyer who had supplied me with the paralyzing drug arrived shortly after. He remained quiet until I gestured for him to speak.

“You’re aware the incident is being traced,” he said evenly. “The more Clara acts without control, the higher the chance authorities connect this to the south. She’s careless.”

I nodded but didn’t respond immediately. He was right. Clara had always been impulsive when it came to her own desires. If she wasn’t careful, her actions could undo all the planning I had done.

I had built contingencies for her, but even the best plans could unravel if attention came too early. The buyer gave me the paralyzing drug container for inspection.

I ran my fingers over the seal, verifying its integrity. The dosage was correct, and the substance was stable. I placed it back in my bag, storing it where only I could access it. He nodded, stepped back, and left without another word.

I checked my phone and froze when a message from Elias appeared. The screen displayed: >“Private meeting. Final strategy. Urgent.”

I stared at it for a long moment, weighing my options. Elias was unpredictable. I didn’t trust him entirely, but I had to hear him out. If he was planning something major, being uninformed could put me and our objectives at risk.

I could handle him, I decided, but I would remain cautious. I didn’t trust his motives, and I had no intention of letting him lead me into a trap. I slipped the phone back into my pocket and ran a hand through my hair.

While I considered Elias’s message, my thoughts drifted to the north. Amy. She had been training in secret again, I knew that much. Rumors of her growing abilities reached me through scattered reports.

The thought annoyed me. I needed to keep my focus, but I couldn’t ignore the threat she had become. I watched from a small security feed as she practiced in one of the northern chambers.

I saw her place her hands on an injured guard. The wound on his arm began to close slowly, and I noticed her concentration intensify. She was testing herself, trying to push her limits.

For a moment, I thought to myself If she improved, Daniel’s advantage would increase. We needed to move faster.

I continued observing through the hidden feed. She had moved to an more seriously injured. Her hands hovered over the wound. I could so her touch as the flesh began knitting together. I noted the difference, she was becoming stronger. Her gift was developing faster than expected.

Then Daniel entered the room. I held my breath, studying his body language. He didn’t speak or interrupt. He simply observed, silent and deliberate. Amy’s focus didn’t change either, though I could sense the subtle tension in her posture. She was testing herself fully, aware he was watching but undistracted.

I watched as her second attempt at healing completed. She removed her hands slowly and stepped back, breathing lightly. Daniel approached her cautiously and placed a hand on her cheek. His touch was gentle, grounding, and I noticed her shoulders relax immediately under his presence.

“I’m proud of you,” he said softly. “No matter what happens, I’ll protect you. No matter who comes at us, I’ll make sure your gift stays yours.”

I observed their conversation carefully. His voice was really calm. She responded with a subtle nod and a small smile. Their trust in each other was strong.

That bond could not be underestimated. Amy had someone who could stabilize her under pressure, someone who could defend her abilities and prevent them from being exposed too

soon.

That made me more conscious of the fact that the longer we waited, the more powerful she would become.

I leaned back from the feed and considered my next move. Elias’s message had not been dismissed. I needed to meet him, and I needed to understand what he was planning. I could not let Amy or Daniel continue building their trust.

I made my way to the underground location Elias had specified. The corridor was narrow, dimly lit, and completely hidden from the main building.

The sound of my heels on the floor echoed slightly, but I knew the space well. Security had been reinforced, and I checked the access points as I moved to ensure no unexpected onlookers were present.

When I entered the meeting room, I stopped immediately. Clara was already there. She was

sitting at the far side of the table, relaxed, and smiling. I narrowed my eyes, taking in the scene. She hadn’t expected me to arrive first or maybe she had known I would come. Either way, the situation had shifted.

Her smile was calm, “You’re on time,” she said. Her voice carried neither warmth nor aggression, but the underlying threat was clear.

I kept my expression neutral. “I see you’re making yourself comfortabl

Clara’s eyes didn’t leave mine. “Elias wants to speak with both of us and I intend to be the one in control when he does.”

I stepped closer to the table, keeping my hands visible, my mind working. I could see immediately that she had already positioned herself to manipulate the conversation. She had learned to leverage her presence against me, and I needed to anticipate her next moves.

I took a seat across from her, maintaining distance. I would not let her dominate this conversation. I needed information, clarity, and the ability to act without revealing my hand.

My phone vibrated slightly. I checked it, Elias confirmed the meeting would start in ten minutes.
