Chapter 117 - The Choice

Hey! Quick note from the author. I discovered today when uploading chapters to Royal Road that, whoops, I'd left out chapter 70 altogether. Like, the story jumped directly from chapter ...

Chapter 116 - Desperation

Cerberus and I crashed together again, fists and claws flying in a blur of violence. I blocked a savage right hook and countered with an uppercut that snapped his head back with a spray of b...

Chapter 115 - The Alpha's Gift

Cerberus and I clashed again, trading blows that would have pulverized normal humans. I got in a solid hit to his ribs, but he just grunted and kept coming. His claws raked across my chest, ...

Chapter 114 - Counting On Her

Maggie ducked her head as another shockwave rocked the building, knocking a spray of dust down from the ceiling above. She wanted to scream, to cry out, maybe even to go find a quiet corner ...

Chapter 113 - Rising from the Rubble

The first thing I felt, coming back to myself, was pain. Sharp, intense pain that seemed to be coming from everywhere. My head throbbed. My ribs screamed. My legs felt like they'd been put t...

Chapter 112 - Steel and Lightning

Alex flew through the night sky, his eyes scanning the ground below for any sign of his strike team. He'd left Marion behind at Harvard, left her exhausted and vulnerable, and every second t...

Chapter 111 - Cerberus

The pack leader’s opening strike was devastating. His massive claws raked across my raised arms, and even though my Natural Armor held, the force behind the blow made my bones grind agains...

Chapter 110 - Alpha Strike

The pack hit me like a furry freight train.

Three werewolves struck simultaneously from different angles. One came at me high, one low, and another from the side. I caught the high one...

Chapter 109 - Battle Lines

Alex and I streaked our way back south again. We spotted Reynolds and her guards near the north wall and aimed for them. We set down just a few feet away, and she started toward us at once. ...

Chapter 108 - Blood Curdling Howls

We made our way back through the second door, into the hallway where Reynolds and her guards were waiting for us. Her men locked the door behind us once we were all out. One of them stepped ...

Chapter 107 - The Limits of Magic

We stopped outside the inner door, the sounds from beyond making everyone tense. Deep, guttural growling echoed through the small space, punctuated by the scrape of claws on stone. Something...

Chapter 106 - Cleansing the Curse

We touched down in Harvard Yard, the impact of our landing sending up small clouds of dust. They’d been busy since I left. Where before there had been scattered defensive positions, now th...

Chapter 104 - Breakout

The werewolves hit the guards’ line like a furry battering ram. Redhead went low, ducking under the first spear thrust and slamming into the legs of two guards. They went down hard, weapon...

Chapter 103 - The Jaws That…

Hi all! Hoping to get the chapter I'm behind caught up tomorrow. Been a bit hectic the past few days, but I'm working on it for you. There's a bit of a ret-con in this chapter. Earlier,...

Chapter 102 - Here Comes The Change

Maggie moved to the first bed, her hands already glowing with a soft white light. I followed a few steps behind, watching as she pulled back the curtain to reveal a middle-aged man with deep...

Chapter 101 - Gifts of Life

Sorry, folks! The writing conference I was attending this week caught up with me and I didn't have a chance to do much writing the past couple of days. I got this chapter done waiting f...

Chapter 100 - A Warning from the North

The flight north to MIT took me over the Charles River, its waters reflecting the deepening twilight like a ribbon of molten copper. Below me, the city continued its slow transformation. Mor...

Chapter 99 - A Distant Howl

Alex might disagree with me about distributing the Heal spells, but I was going ahead with it anyway. People were suffering and dying out there for lack of modern medical care. A few stones ...

Chapter 98 - Finally Free

It took us more time than I liked to gather up the crystals from all the monster bodies littering the place, but the effort was worth it. When all was said and done, there had been one hundr...

Chapter 96 - The Flood of Decay

Our attacks sped toward the column in almost perfect sync. Two lances of Lightning arced through the air, one from me and one from Alex. Dara added a Fire Bolt to the mix as well. Our attack...

No chapter today!

Sorry, folks - had an attack of life today, and I didn’t get the chapter finished for you. I’ll finish it off tomorrow AND get the regular Friday chapter to get caught up, no worries! Just want...

Chapter 95 - Cat’s Out of the Bag

The creatures rushing at our front line were only tier three, thank God. Even a casual glance around the room told me that if the column managed to release all of the pods, we’d be facing ...

Chapter 94 - The Architect of Rot

Whatever was making that smell, it couldn’t be that far off, because the stench was getting stronger, fast. Each step I took seemed to amplify the reek. It had moved from being mildly unpl...

Chapter 93 - It’s What’s For Dinner!

I barely managed to wrap myself around Alex before the creature’s bulk smashed down atop both of us and the world went dark and wet. Pressure slammed into me like the whole ceiling had dro...

Chapter 92 - To Save Humans

Cerberus had hated being alone. When George died, he’d thought he would be that way forever. No person to love and feed him. No one to pet or hold him. No more walks. No more gentle, quiet...

Chapter 91 - Terminal Velocity

The monster surging toward me was about fifteen feet in diameter and looked for all the world like a massive pile of rocks with bits of fungus rising through the gaps between the stones. It ...
