In the broken remnants of Nightshade's great hall, the firelight wavered, creating unsettling shadows on the stone walls. I had nothing left to offer the pack, but they continued to hover, perhaps awaiting guidance. There was still a weight in my chest. I didn't feel like I had won, even though Oliver was defeated and his rule was overthrown by the people he used to rule.

Sitting next to me on a splintered wooden bench, Maia was looking off into space as she absently traced a scar over her arm. Ever the guardian, Lucas stood a few feet away, his gaze sweeping the still audience. 

After a long pause, Lucas whispered, "They need a leader." He spoke in a quiet, wary tone. "Someone to rebuild what's left."

Slowly, I nodded. "They need someone," I said, then looked over at Maia.

She stiffened as I stared at her. "Don't even think about it." 

I cocked my head. "Why not?" 

She gave a dry laugh, but it was devoid of any humor. "Because I never wanted this place. I never wanted to lead." She balled her hand into a fist. "You are the only one who truly understands what this pack has done to us, Anna. To you. How can you just stand there and say that I should take over and clean up the mess they made?" 

I let out a sigh. I did understand. 

She lowered her gaze to her hands. "The only good thing about Nightshade was Leo. And they let him die."

I could recognize the resentment in her voice in my own emotions.

Then Lucas spoke. "But things are different now. The pack has changed." 

After taking a deep breath, Maia turned to face me. "Would you stay to guide them?"

I paused. That was my answer. 

"No," she said quietly, reading me with ease. "Because you don't belong here anymore."

She wasn't wrong. 

I looked aside, at the ruins of the fight we had barely survived. Despite the fires that had raged through the night, the walls still retained the scars of war... scorch marks, claw marks, and the lingering smell of blood.

Lucas took a step forward, his voice low. "So, what happens now?"  

I took a deep breath. "Now?" 

Maia stood up. "I know what I want." She gave me a direct glance. "I want to be with my family." 

My throat constricted. 

Softer now, she added, "Anna, you're my only family. Leo is gone. I never called Nightshade home. But I'll follow you wherever you go." 

Something inside of me cracked at her words. I had been alone for so long... running, fighting, surviving. But Maia had always been there for me. 

I pushed back the emotion that rose in my chest and nodded. "Then we leave." 

Lucas let out a sigh, as though he had been waiting for my words. He moved to stand next to me, his presence firm and steady. "And where will you go?" 

I looked him in the eye, searching for hesitation. There was none.

"The human world," I said. 

He didn't flinch at all. "Then we'll go there." 

I let out a small laugh, something light and incredulous. "You say that as if it were simple." 

He grinned. "Compared to overthrowing a tyrant? It is simple." 

Maia gave a snort. "Speak for yourself. I've never even seen a human town, let alone lived in one." 

Lucas faced her. "You'll figure it out." 

"And you?" I asked, watching him closely. "Are you sure?" 

Lucas and I looked at each other, the last few weeks passing between us.

"I've been running my whole life," he said. "Trying to escape one pack then another. But with you?" He breathed, his voice quieter now. "For the first time, I don't want to run alone." 

My breath caught in my chest. 

Maia rolled her eyes. "Gods, just kiss already." 

I glanced at her, but Lucas merely laughed. 

Our moment lingered, something still unacknowledged between all of us. But there wasn't time. Not here.

I cleared my throat and said, "We should leave soon. Before the pack expects anything from us." 

Maia stretched as she stood. "Fine by me." 

Lucas nodded. "Let's go then."

As we left the hall, the remaining wolves of Nightshade turned to watch me, their eyes waiting, expecting something. One last thing. A farewell. A promise. 

I gave them nothing. 

Instead, I spoke to the one wolf I did have words for.

Cain stood among the crowd, blood still staining his armor. One of the few rebels who survived. He had questioned me, argued with me, and believed in me when others doubted.

"Stay," I told him. "Lead them."

His eyes widened. "Me?" 

"You fought for them," I said. "They trust you." 

Though he hesitated, I could already see the weight of responsibility settling on his shoulders in his expression. 

Finally, he nodded. "I'll do my best."

That was all I needed to hear. 

"Do you think they'll be okay?" I broke the silence after a while. 

Lucas gave me a quick look. "The pack?" 

I nodded. 

"They'll figure it out," he said. "They have to." 

I sighed and looked into the distance. "I just... I don't want them to fall apart. Not after everything we went through to get here." 

"They won't," Lucas insisted. "Cain is a good leader. He'll take care of them." 

I nodded, though the doubt lingered. 

Maia turned to look at us thoughtfully. "You know, we could always come back. If they need us." 

I shook my head. "No. This is our chance for a fresh start. To move on from the past." 

Maia smiled, a small, tired smile, but it was genuine. "Then let's make the most of it."

  • The Weak Omega's Redemption   Chapter 111: A New Beginning Anna POV

    With my luggage draped over my shoulder and a weary but determined heart, I stood at the edge of the woodland. Beside me were Lucas and Maia, whose faces reflected mine: a mixture of resolve and melancholy.Cain came toward us, his eyes full of resolution but his face etched with fatigue. Although he had been among Oliver's most devoted soldiers, the insurrection had altered him. We were leaving him in control after he had fought with us and put his life in danger for the pack."Are you sure about this?" he said softly.I gave a nod. "Cain, you're the greatest option. You are trusted by the pack. They will follow you."He paused, his eyes darting between Maia and Lucas. "How about the three of you? Where are you going?""Somewhere new," was all I said. "A place where we can start again."Cain's face softened as he nodded. "You've done enough for this pack. More than sufficient. Go if this is what you need. We'll be alright."I said my

  • The Weak Omega's Redemption   Chapter 109: The Weight of Victory Anna POV

    The trumpet's call echoed through the broken remains of Nightshade, a sound that once sent fear rippling through the pack but now carried a different weight. A summons. A reckoning.I stood in the heart of the pack's gathering grounds, where months ago, I had watched Leo be condemned to death. My fingers tightened into fists at my sides as I forced myself to take in every detail... the stone platform, the lofty arches, the wooden beams above that had once felt oppressive. The torches flickered, casting long shadows against the walls, just like they had that night.Only this time, it wasn't Leo standing before the pack.It was Oliver.He was on his knees in the center of the hall, bound, his body battered and broken. Blood matted his dark hair, his once-imposing body slumped forward in exhaustion. The very warriors who had formerly battled under him stood around the perimeter of the hall, their gazes flitting between me and the fall

  • The Weak Omega's Redemption   Chapter 108: The Fall of a Tyrant Lucas POV

    There was silence on the battlefield.The silence was not one that resulted from relief or tranquility. It was the thick, stifling type that comes after a storm, as though the world itself was holding its breath. The ground was covered in fallen people, and the air was heavy with the smell of smoke and blood. With a mixture of amazement and incredulity, the rebels who had survived the slaughter and were still standing glanced at Anna.Oliver was lying at her feet, immobile and broken. His burnt body stood out sharply against the blood-soaked ground below, and his once-imposing figure had now collapsed into a crumpled heap. He was not yet dead, but he was very nearly so. His chest rose and fell in weak, irregular spasms, and his breaths were shallow.With her shoulders heaving and her hands still burning dimly from the last of her power, Anna stood over him. Her hair was knotted and wild, and her face was stained with blood and filth, but her ey

  • The Weak Omega's Redemption   Chapter 107: Alpha vs. Omega Lucas POV

    All I could do was observe.My entire existence begged me to step in, step in, and support Anna as she faced Oliver alone. However, I was unable to.I shouldn't.This was her fight.Standing opposite Oliver, Anna's body was bruised and covered in blood, yet her unwavering will remained burning. I had never seen the raw electricity crackle in the air around her before. It was hazardous, untamed, and wild. There was nothing weak about the dim glow that flickered from her palms, like a fading ember. The ground beneath her boots seemed to be reacting to her, quivering in expectation of what lay ahead.Oliver rolled his shoulders and grinned as though this were merely a minor annoyance. I shuddered at his self-assurance. For so long, he had ruled by terror, destroying anybody who tried to oppose him. He now considered Anna to be simply another idiot who believed they could prevail.However, she wasn't.

  • The Weak Omega's Redemption   Chapter 106: The Cost of War Anna POV

    The battlefield was a bloody, chaotic nightmare.The night was filled with screams as the rebels gave it their all in battle, but Oliver's forces were unrelenting and mercilessly defeated us. My muscles ached from the never ending battle, and I was breathing in ragged breaths, but there was no time to pause. Another life was lost with every second that passed.Maia was down.Across the field, I saw her fall, hitting the ground with a horrible crack. As I surged at her, avoiding an enemy's claws at the last second, my stomach knotted in terror."Maia!" I fell on my knees next to her. Her breathing was shallow, and blood was leaking from a deep wound along her shoulder.Her body trembled uncontrollably as she attempted to push herself up. "I'm fine," she rasped, but I could tell she wasn't."You're not," I said as I applied pressure to the cut. My palm was stained by the warmth of her blood, and my chest developed a hollow hole.Lucas s
