Rain pov.
It's been three days since Magus trapped my mate into his prism and she's still not back yet. Isa's explanation about the whole thing has made dread every day she's gone more than the last. The only thing I know is that she'll be safe from predators but it's not comforting when her own mind can be her worst enemy. My mate's mind is a dangerous place to get lost in. She's got so much anger in her and though most of it stems from what we've been going through these last couple of months, I'm not sure it won't consume her without our bond there to keep her sane. Morgan needs me just as much as I need her and with every hour, she's gone I can feel myself falling apart. "Rain, are you listening, pup?" Benjamin asks and I have to blink a few times to bring myself out of my own thoughts. The vampire's eyes shine with heavy concern and River rubs my back but their comfort means nothing right now. I don't even know if telling them Morgan might be carrying my pup will make everything worse or not, but I haven't seen Magnus since the morning he banished her for his own sick pleasure and it's probably a good thing. "No," I admit, running a hand through my hair. "what were you saying?" Ragna floats down from where he was hovering in the corner of the library, looking much better than he did the first time I saw him. There's a healthy glow to his skin and even his scent has somewhat changed since he started getting the help he needed.
"We were hoping you could access Bing." The hybrid explains and I frown. "She might have left a plan of action but since she's gone for now..." I release a heavy sigh and shake my head.
"I don't have access to Bing." I can ask the system about a thousand questions, but I doubt he'll just give me the information Morgan has kept secret for everyone else.
"But you could try." Isa insists and I nod, feeling a heavy weight settle on my shoulders as I get up from my seat and motion for Isa to do her thing. Seconds later we're in the computer room and I'm looking around the monitors clueless.
"Hi Bing." I eventually mutter, seeming like a good place to start.
"Good afternoon, Rain." His familiar voice greets. "How can I be of assistance?"
"Um, Morgan isn't going to be here for an unknown period of time. Is there something she might have left in case of emergencies?" The question alone threatens to make me puke my guts out. We're a newly mated couple and once again we've been ripped apart by a man whose selfishness knows no bounds.
"Certainly, Rain. Please wait a moment." I look at Isa who has a proud smile on her lips, like she knew I would have access to Bing. Like she knew Morgan trusted me that much. A tray opens and a bracelet appears, reminding me of the first time I entered Morgan's home. "Please place the device on your left wrist." I do as I am told, locking the bracelet in place and it tightens around my wrist. There's a slight pinch underneath it and then a screen opens up on the desktop in front of us.
"What is all this?" I ask the computer, as numbers run across the screen.
"Please wait a moment." Bing prompts and I sigh, falling into the desk chair as I wait for whatever is supposed to happen to happen. "Fail safe activated." The computer eventually says and then a bunch of files pop up on the screen. "Would you like the files to be downloaded to your personal computer?" He asks.

"No, no it's fine." I mutter, not even knowing where my personal computer is supposed to be.
"You can always request for this option when you are ready." Bing advises and I nod, tapping on the first file in the corner and it opens showing a bunch of maps.
"Are those Bio-Glaze blueprints?" Isa asks and it takes me a few more seconds to study the map in front of me to realize she's right. "What else is there?" I shrug, paging though the blueprints to find one for each sector. When I press the menu button there is a list of notes typed up. Information about every sector, things I knew but most of it was new to me. I exit the file and press another, finding schematics of communication bracelets that look nothing like the ones we used to have and more like the one on my wrist now, sleeker and probably more efficient.
"Bing, where is my personal computer?" I ask the computer, knowing there is nothing I can ask him to make me look stupid now. He was the one who taught me how to cook after all.
"It is linked to the device on your wrist. Would you like a tutorial on how to use it?" I look at the band on my wrist, wondering how the hell Morgan had time to do all of this when we were together most of the time. When we didn't even know this war was happening.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
"Yes, yes please." So, the computer takes me through using the interface. Two taps project a screen and then everything else is taken from there.
"You can even make calls." Bing advises. "Would you like to activate the call option?" I look at Isa who shrugs her shoulders.
"Yes." I tell him, knowing it's better to understand it all now rather than later. Another drawer opens in the desk and an earpiece appears that I hook onto my ear before the computer can give me the instruction. It's a little uncomfortable at first until I feel it molding into the shape of my ear and a phone button on my screen appears.
"You can now make calls though his device." Bing tells me and I nod. "Would you like to download the files onto your computer now?" He asks again and this time I allow it.
"Bing, what happens if I lose this device?" I ask, looking at the bracelet, and knowing if it falls into the wrong hands, we're all doomed.
"The device is DNA secured. In case of failing DNA verification, the device will automatically erase all data." He explains and I nod. I'm about to ask another question when Luca blinks into the room.
"Your parents have arrived." He announces and I can feel the panic bubbling up inside of me. I'd never envisioned facing them without Morgan and now I have to. I add this moment to one of the many reasons on my list to kill Magnus once I have my mate in my arms again. With a sigh I command Bing to end the program and go on standby before leaving the room, knowing I'm not steady enough to allow Isa or Luca to blink me there. I need every moment I can get to compose myself because I have no idea what I'm going to do if I see the people who chose to abandon me when I needed them most.
