Fractured Control

A field leader with a wolf under his skin. A rebel who doesn't trust badges. A city that learned how to turn fear into obedience.When an Aegis raid exposes "e;wellness"e; facilities running illegal cognition drills, Alejandro Herrera—a were-human trained to control both his instincts and his conscience—uncovers proof that the city's peace is enforced through quiet coercion. Shutting it down should be simple. It isn't.To save lives before the evidence disappears, Alejandro makes an uneasy alliance with Karina Volkov, a were-human advocate labeled a radical for refusing to stay compliant. Their rescues ignite a slow-burn war of evidence, extraction runs, and courtroom brinkmanship as corporate interests race to erase the truth.Backed by his tightly bonded team—Sparrow, Benny, and Noah—Alejandro is forced to choose between the order that trained him and the people it's willing to sacrifice.Fractured Control blends urban fantasy and near-future thriller into a story of divided loyalties, found family, and what it costs to do the right thing when the rules themselves become weapons.Perfect for readers who love character-driven action, moral gray zones, and alliances forged under pressure.
