A few days passed since the guard debacle and Alexander stood at the center of the remaining Council as the captured insurrectionists were led into the atrium. They had to use the intake area because there were too many people to fit anywhere else...
2024-11-26 13:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostSorin had a huge grin on his face as he strutted through the Atrium. And why shouldn’t he? Blackmailing Gabriella and the accident with Sheila’s seeds had forced them to vote his way. His plan was working far better than even he ...
2024-11-25 13:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostAs much as Alexander liked to give people the benefit of the doubt, his predictions about Sorin turned out to be spot on. He didn’t even have to wait a full week to see the first change.
When he had first agreed to the Council as the polit...
2024-11-23 13:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostAlexander looked over the three people standing in front of him. Damien had just finished filling him in on the new Council changes.

2024-11-22 13:00:18 +0000 UTC View Post“Settle down!” Sorin demanded to the room full of individuals.
They didn’t quiet down immediately, but he could hear himself think after only a short wait.

“And who put you in char...
2024-11-21 13:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostAlexander stood off to the side and watched as the kids raced around the track he had set up in the old parking garage.

2024-11-20 13:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostAfter speaking with Matthews, Alexander had the start of a plan. It would take a bit to come together before he was ready to present it to the rest of his team, but he was hopeful that it would. Hopefully, trying to work with Katalynn Char wouldn...
2024-11-19 13:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostWhen he first came home and heard Yulia mumbling in her sleep, he went in to check on her. It was obvious from how much she was tossing and turning that she was having a nightmare. Alexander thought about waking her up, but decided against it. She...
2024-11-18 13:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostEven after a few weeks, Yulia still received comments from people asking if she was ok, and how awful it must have been. She simply nodded in reply since that was what people seemed to expect.
The truth was, the first time she got a good loo...
2024-11-15 13:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostYou all really did luck out on this one. I was celebrating 100 chapters on RR with a double chapter today, and it just so happened to be the book 2 Epilogue as well. I hope you enjoy it!

2024-11-13 13:05:00 +0000 UTC View PostAlexander didn’t bother watching the man drift into space to die a slow death. Not killing the man outright was monstrous, but he would do it again without question if Yulia was threatened.
He closed the cargo ramp and hurried over to the ...

2024-11-11 13:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostIt didn’t take Alexander long to meet up with the Arklight technicians outside the facility. Even though they had been briefed about how he would appear, the guards tightened their hands on their weapons.
He ignored them as he moved throug...

2024-11-07 13:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostAlexander and Matthews entered a room filled with conversation. He paused in the doorway and looked around. He frowned as he didn’t see the man he expected to see. “Were you not able to get Captain Krieger?”
Matthews shook his head. ...
