last update ปรับปรุงล่าสุด: 2025-06-08 20:13:34

Caspian's POV:

No one is born equal. Not us, not the humans, not the Fae, not the monsters, not the gods and not even twins.

There will always be the strong and the weak, the love and unloved, the adored and the hated, the favored and the forgotten.

My brother—the loved—emerges from the shadows of the forest with his friends.

Lightning cracks above us, bathing the forest in its light.

I had hoped the storm would mask the direction of my howl long enough for me to leave unseen. No matter.

His wolf dwarfs those of his companions as he slowly approaches me alone. They should've followed him, he hates that they fear me. One of them will be made an example of later.

I sigh. It was not my intention for harm to befall another wolf because of me.

“Hello, brother” he growls through the mind link, “I don't remember ordering you to follow us. I thought that lesson I taught you earlier meant this won't happen again”

Of course, he makes note of the lesson, which was nothing more than him orde

  • Crowns and Claws: The Omega's Revenge   Chapter 19: Snow, Blood, and Laughter

    “There is wisdom in knowing your limits” my mother used to tell me every time I pushed myself to keep pace with my brother during hunts.She would slow herself, just to stay by my side as I pushed through the snow.No one ever shifts at the age of ten, the average age was fourteen. My mother said I was too eager to join my brothers. I was.They were having so much fun without me, and I was sick of waiting.I cried out when the first bone snapped, drawing everyone to my room. My brothers begged me to stop, but my mom scolded them. I was already mid shift by then, stopping would be far more dangerous.By the time I was done, I had no energy to even join the hunt.So they cancelled it for me.And we went the next day.The snow had piled up so high my wolf was half buried in it.“Careful now,” she said, when I fell completely into the snow before picking me back up. The cold reached for me, but her warmth always shielded me.It's different now. There's no voice of wisdom amongst the v

  • Crowns and Claws: The Omega's Revenge   Chapter 18: Trepidation In The Face Of Violence

    They promised us protection from death—even in the face of absolute violence.But there are fates worse than dying.The worst part of the Trial of Fangs has never been the death toll.It's survival.Surviving despite losing to your opponent. It can be humiliating, sure.No one wants to lose with such an audience present. This match will likely determine how well they'll do in the military.“State your names and your class cadets!” the announcer beckons, as the two wolves with plaque one meet each other at the center.“Barther Greymarch,” he states, with a smug look on his face “Alpha.”His aura burns with confidence. He doesn't know exactly how this match will play out, but he knows he'll win in the end.“Rodmon Graver,” his opponent says, voice trembling despite his best attempt at composure. “Beta.”The outcome is clear.Rodmon has two options: forfeit and disappoint the elders or fight and risk injury.You see, injury is the worst part of this trial. Seems like a silly thing to wor

  • Crowns and Claws: The Omega's Revenge   Chapter 17: A Wish for Blood

    Tavian leaves the arena as the spectators enter. Generals and commanders from allied packs and leaders of each quadrant of the Bloodfang pack flood the arena, dressed in full military attire.The air vibrates with pressure, the earth trembling beneath the eerie synchronicity of their measured steps.Their auras leaking from their bodies—suffocating and terrifying—bending the air to obedience.These are the Alphas my peers worship. The ones betas would bleed to serve. Old Men and Women of war and violence with power most young wouldn't think twice to give their lives for.And they all don the blood-red and black as proof of fealty to the Alpha king—the pinnacle of our species and architect of the age of red. His red.“That's a lot of old Alphas.” Corrin gulps, as the warmongers take their seats.“Are they all going to watch us fight?” Sophia asks, staring at them, just like most of the cadets here—mesmerized.Ash shuts his eyes and barks, “wake me when they call number 13”Corrin sco

  • Crowns and Claws: The Omega's Revenge   Chapter 16: The Number Twenty-Five

    Ash remains silent, his judging gaze quietly assessing each one of us as we walk the path to the arena. I, for one, was already done assessing him.His aura was that of an Alpha—undeniable and immense—an all consuming flame radiating heat and hate. A stark contrast to his calm unreadable demeanor.His hate is unnerving but I understand it. I continue to hate the humans every second of every day, but it makes me wonder just who his hate is for.At least I understand something about him, but this one—the girl is a complete mystery to me. Her Alpha mark on her neck saves me the trouble of checking her aura. Unlike Ash who keeps his distance, she insists on walking right beside me, giving me short glances every few minutes.“Can you stop that” I ask, there's a sharpness to my tone.“Sorry” she chuckles, “it's just good to see you again. I didn't think I'd get the chance to thank you for helping me that day”Yeah, helping. If that's what you call me wasting my time on a situation you coul

  • Crowns and Claws: The Omega's Revenge   Chapter 15: The Morning After

    Amelia's POV: The first thing I feel is the weight over my body—warm and heavy. A blanket by the feel of it. Then the chill of the damp floor beneath me.My mind stirs, drifting between dream and the waking world.I don't open my eyes yet. My body aches deeply, reluctant to start the day—and I am in no hurry to argue. But something stirs beside me with a dull hum.I blink once, then again, curiosity beating out the pull of more sleep as I open my eyes. The world looks a little blurred as the light pierces my eyes, forcing me to shut them and turn away from the light.With the light lessened, I open my eyes and see what stirred beside me.Her hair—an untamed army of brown—clings to the curves of her sun kissed skin. It veils most of her freckled face but not enough to hide the rise and fall of her breath and the peace she wears in her sleep.The air smells like morning. I force myself to rise slowly as the memories of last night return. I look around me, taking in every detail of my
