Classified Threat

Classified Threat - Book One

Power was her birthright. Fear was their weapon.

There was a time when people with powers were celebrated.

They were heroes. Neighbors. Public servants.
They served in Congress, saved lives, and taught in schools.
It took decades of protest, sacrifice, and blood for the Enhanced to claim their place in society.

Then one man ran on fear-and took it all away.

He called them dangerous.
Said they were stealing jobs from "Normies."
Too free. Too powerful. Too unregulated.

And when a teenage Enhanced accidentally triggered a national tragedy, he seized the moment.
He won the presidency in a landslide-and signed away their future overnight.

The Powers Act.
Registration. Surveillance. Detention.

The government called it protection.
The people called it justice.
But for the Enhanced, it was erasure.

Seventeen years later, Maya Ellis is just trying to survive in a country that treats people like her as threats.
As a Black girl in America, she already knows what it means to be watched, feared, and controlled.
But she's always trusted her parents-and the little white pills they gave her every morning.

They said it was for her anxiety.
To help her focus. To keep her balanced.
And she believed them. Because they were her parents. Why would they lie?

Until the morning after her eighteenth birthday-when she skips a dose, and everything changes.

The air around her warps.
Light bends.
And something inside her ignites.

The power she was never supposed to have erupts.
The truth fractures through her like lightning.
The pills weren't to calm her.
They were to suppress her.

Because Maya isn't just Enhanced-
She's something more.
Something the government classified, contained, and swore no longer existed.

She's an Alpha.

And now that her power has awakened...
the world that erased her kind is about to remember why they were so a afraid.
