“Access denied.”
I stared at the screen, then keyed in a password I knew from Bunker 47 again.
“Access denied.”
Drumming my fingers over the desk, I evaluated my options. All systems had an administrator password associated with them. It was how I’d circumvented the lockdown procedures in my own lab.
Using my knowledge of computers and backdoor protocols, I went to work on cracking through her outer layer of security by first going through the forgotten password area and switching the profiles within the system.
Jace watched, his admiration shining through our bond.
Meanwhile, Juliet and Darius continued discussing the origin of lycans and vampires, which led to her discussing worship protocols at the Conventus.
I paused as she recited the prayer they’d made her repeat several times a day. “An anagram,” I whispered, hearing it as she spoke.
To her eternal,
Give our devotion,
Defer every second,
Savor more of our night,
Worship in loving light,
Revel in sensual euphoria,
And glorify all immortal nights.
I typed in the words as they formed in my mind.The goddess will rise again.
“Access denied.”
Hmm.I tried another combination.TGWRA.
“Access accepted.”
Jace’s shock rippled through me as Darius said, “That bullshit prayer actually has meaning?”
“Apparently,” Jace replied. “I think it means Lilith was insane.”
“Obviously. Nyx has never been seen, and for all we know, she’s very much alive. Fuck, she may not even exist at all.” Darius’s tone held a note of disbelief that I ignored in favor of the files populating the system.
Everything in Bunker 37 had just been revealed before my eyes.
Starting with surveillance of the underground labs.
A chill prickled my spine at the familiarity of it all, particularly the room I’d spent far too much time in. Someone new occupied it now. A male with tangled dark hair and hunched shoulders.
“Cam,” Jace breathed. “That’s Cam.”
