ELIAS'S POV

The lawyer's office was in a tall building downtown. Glass and steel. Expensive looking. The kind of place that made me nervous just walking through the doors.

Ronan carried the folder of documents he'd spent all night compiling. I carried my anxiety like a weight in my chest.

We took the elevator to the twelfth floor. Found the right suite. The reception area was quiet. Professional. A woman at the desk looked up when we entered.

"Mr. Ronan? Mr. Arden? Mr. Hayes is ready for you."

    RONAN'S POVSix months passed faster than I expected.We graduated in May. Spent summer resting. Traveling. Building our life together. Then September came and we started advocacy work with the Omega Rights Coalition.It was hard. Harder than I anticipated. Long hours. Difficult conversations. Constant travel. Speaking at universities. Meeting with lawmakers. Testifying at hearings.But it was also meaningful. Every policy we helped change. Every student we helped protect. Every conversation that shifted someone's perspective. It all mattered.December now. Six months into the work. Six months into our new life.Elias and I lived in a small apartment downtown. Nothing fancy. One bedroom. Tiny kitchen. But it was ours. First place that belonged to us. First home we chose together.Adrian lived two blocks away. Close enough to visit. Far enough for independence. He was doing better. Therapy twice a week. Classes at community college. Slowly healing. Slowly building a life.This morning,

  • Alpha Academy: The Omega in Disguise    CHAPTER 169: Graduation Speech

    ELIAS'S POV Graduation day arrived too fast. I woke up early. Couldn't sleep anyway. Nerves eating at me. The speech. The ceremony. Everything feeling too big. Too important. Ronan was already awake. Sitting by the window. Looking out at campus. "You ready?" he asked. "No. But I'm doing it anyway." "That's all anyone can ask." We dressed in formal uniforms. Black and gold. Academy colors. Last time wearing them. Last time being students here. My mother arrived early. Brought flowers. Cried when she saw me. "I'm so proud. So incredibly proud." "I haven't done anything yet." "You survived. You fought. You won. That's everything." Ronan's family came too. His mother. His father. Adrian. Several cousins. Extended family. All of them greeting me warmly. Accepting me as family. It felt surreal. The ceremony started at ten AM. Outside on the main lawn. Hundreds of chairs. Families everywhere. Media cameras positioned around the perimeter. We sat in the front row. Graduating stu

First time an Omega would speak at Academy graduation. First time most things, actually.He was terrified."I can't do this," he said for the tenth time that week. We sat in my room. Speech drafts scattered everywhere. Nothing felt right."You can. You already spoke at the assembly. In front of everyone. This is the same thing.""No it's not. The assembly was an emergency. Survival. This is planned. Official. Representing everyone. What if I mess up?""You won't.""What if I say the wrong thing? Offend people? Make things worse?""You're overthinking.""I'm thinking exactly the right amount. This speech matters. It'll be recorded. Remembered. Used as example for future Om

    RONAN'S POVThe court hearing was scheduled for Friday morning. Three days after the vote. Three days to prepare our defense.My father hired the best lawyers money could buy. A team of five. All specialists in family law and Omega rights. They worked around the clock building our case.Thursday night, we met with them in a conference room off campus. Too many reporters at the Academy. Too much attention. We needed privacy."Marcus Caelum's argument is simple," the lead lawyer explained. Her name was Director Chen. No relation to our Chen. "He claims parental rights. Blood connection. Says you were taken from him illegally as an infant. That he never gave up custody. That he has legal claim to you now.""But I'm eighteen," I said. "An adult. He can't claim me like property.""Normally no. But Omega law is complicated. In some jurisdictions, unbonded Omegas can be claimed by blood family until age twenty-one. He's arguing that your bond was formed under duress. That it should be dissol

Away from everything.My phone kept buzzing. Messages from people I didn't know. Some are supportive. Some hateful. I stopped reading them.Ronan checked the vote count every hour. The Academy posted real-time updates. Anonymous but public.By noon: 48% yes. 52% no.We were losing."It's still early," Ronan said. "People are still voting. Could change.""Or it could get worse.""Don't think like that."But I couldn't help it. Half the Academy wanted us gone. More than half. How were we supposed to stay somewhere we weren't wanted?At three PM, my mother arrived. Security let her in this time. Special permission from Hale.She hugged me the moment she saw me. Held on tight. "I'm so proud of you. What you said yesterday. How you stood up. I'm so proud.""Thanks, Mom.""Are you okay? Really okay?""I don't know. The vote isn
