Chapter 134 WHAT FORTY WOLVES BUILT
The forty wolves' framework had not been documented.
This was the initial disclosure the convoy leader articulated when discussing how they would bring their independently constructed framework onto the platform.
"We built it through practice and memory," he explained. "Over six years, our daily c...

20. Chapter 20 CHAPTER TWENTY What He Wrote Before I Was Born I didn’t open it outside. As I walked through the compound, I clutched the envelope tightly, avoiding eye contact with anyone. I intentionally kept my mother especially out of my sight. I eventually found an empty room in the east corridor and closed the door behind me, without the need for a lock. There was no chair, and I chose to sit on the floor anyway. My body finally gave up the pretense of holding itself together. Up close, the envelope appeared worse than before. The edges of the paper were softened, suggesting it had been in places it shouldn’t have. My name was faded on the front. Isabella. Just my name. My father’s writing, from a time that seemed unreachable. I broke the seal and inside was a single page folded three times with care. I opened it. The writing was neat and was lacking warmth, it sounded more like a record than a conversation. *If you are reading this, the structure has already shifted. Whether you initiated this or are now a part of it, both scenarios were anticipated.* I lingered on that line for too long. My chest tightened slowly, something within me had recognized its own reflection. I read on. *Your role was never protection. That was merely a narrative I circulated to keep the packs at bay until you were prepared. Your true role is to arbitrate. You don’t maintain the system; you determine its acceptance. I hesitated. To arbitrate and not to rule. My fingertips cooled against the paper and I pushed ahead. *The compacts respond to your blood because they were designed to recognize overriding authority, not activation. Any compact can be rewritten through you. All of them. There’s no set limit once your function is fully active.* My throat felt dry. There was no limit. I forced myself to read on. *The restriction placed on Vincenzo DeLuca’s lineage isn’t for protection; it’s a limitation. It was embedded before your birth. If you completed a rewrite last night, that restriction is now active. His lineage cannot oppose your decisions or reverse your structure. Whether he realizes it or not, he is already ensnared in it.* The door opened. I didn’t turn around. Vince was there, he didn’t need announce himself, as always. He paid attention to the letter before returning his gaze then to me. I folded the page halfway, not bothering to conceal it. “How much did you hear?” I asked. “Nothing,” he replied. “I followed you.” “Why?” He stepped inside and closed the door. “Because Marco Romano wouldn’t give you something without observing where it lands.” My eyes returned to the letter. “He wanted me to read this,” I stated. “Yes.” “So whatever's here either serves him or disrupts what’s in front of me.” He remained silent and that was the answer that I needed. I handed him the letter. He read, remaining in his position composed. His stillness was apparent until the content shifted his gaze inward. When he finished, he lowered the paper. “You didn’t know,” I said. “No.” A tense silence between us stretched for a brief period of time. “Does it change anything?” I asked. His gaze stayed steady on me. “Does it change anything for you?” he countered. I took back the letter. “I don’t have an answer yet.” Before I could consider this further, a knock echoed on the door. Rafael didn’t wait for an invitation. “We need both of you. Now.” We followed him out, the map table was already lit up with fire. Three red clusters glowing across the grid; Two near the docks and one further north. Rafael pointed. “The packs that broke formation,” he said. “They aren’t advancing; they’re positioning.” Vince leaned in. “Positioning for what?” Rafael’s voice lowered. “Encirclement.” “Three sides,” he added. “The south remains open.” Vince turned slightly. “Why leave the south exposed?” Rafael didn’t rush to answer because he didn’t need to. “Because Marco Romano is to the south.” Vince moved to the comm unit. “Seal every exterior route,” he ordered. A cold response came. “Already sealed," Vince’s expression tightened. “Then explain the breach.” “It’s not a gate issue,” the voice replied after a pause. “It’s the wall.” Another pause followed. “The structure is breaking down.” We heard it before seeing anything. A deep grinding sound, it was persistent and very low. The stone starts changing it's sharp and In that moment, something was wrong. I was already on the move, through the corridor, out the back doors and into open air.The southern wall loomed ahead, twelve feet of reinforced stone marked with pack engravings. Those markings were unraveling. Lines were separating from the stone. One of the enforcers touched it. The surface yielded under his hand. He recoiled instantly. “It’s losing structure,” he said. My mother appeared beside me. I turned to her. “Did you touch this?” I asked. “No,” she replied. Her voice was barely steady. “This predates everything I’ve rewritten.” “Predates how far?” She didn’t look at me yet, her eyes fixed on the wall. “This is foundation script,” she explained. “The original layer. Someone is digging beneath all the rewrites and pulling the base apart.” Vince stepped closer. “Marco did this,” he asserted. “No,” she countered without hesitation. “He doesn’t have access to this level.” “Then who does?” I inquired. That was when she finally met my gaze and the answer needed no words. The air thickened before she spoke. “Only two bloodlines can access the foundational layer,” she stated. I already knew the answer. “Yours,” I said. “Yes.” “And mine.” “Yes.” She grabbed my arm quickly. “Isabella,” she said softly. “Think back to the tunnel. When you reached the core. When the system accepted the rewrite.” “I remember.” “When it ended… did something leave you?” Her question became a burden. Its weight heavy on my shoulder while my heart pounds with so much tension. “Leave how?” “I don't mean that it entered you,” she explained. “I mean did you try to release it by your own self?" I recalled it, the pressure getting more intense than ever. “Yes,” I confirmed. Her expression shifted immediately. “What does that mean?” I asked. She returned her focus to the wall. “This is what it means,” she replied. “The rewrite happened." She paused. “And something took what left you.” My breathing slowed down as the words sank in. “Took it how?” Her voice lowered. “It used it." The last intact sigil cracked across the wall and then it splitter into half.. The stone beneath it no longer looked solid; it appeared borrowed.One strong impact would shatter it. And then I felt it. From the other side, A presence gently pressing against the cracked stone. Her rhythm was simple but at the same time carried a very dark mystery and underneath it, a signature that mirrored mine perfectly.
