last update Last Updated: 2025-06-15 05:51:40

Cruelty, flowing like liquid off his body. Like a fountain of misery.

That's what I saw in the aura of the man who would be Ash’s opponent as he walks to the center of the arena with expression devoid of even the basest emotions.

Terror fills my lungs instead of air and the crowd is forced silent as the world holds its breath when their auras crash into each other the moment Ash reaches the center.

These two are Alphas in the most primal sense; violence dressed in flesh—feral and focused on their prey.

and even the elders for the first time today have taken interest in their fight as they stop their chatting to focus their attention on the two.

Even the announcer trembles in their presence, reluctant to even start the match.

“Fight!..” he croaks, before turning and fleeing to the edge of the arena—to safety.

Ash and his opponent don't even move an inch. They just stand there. A suffocating silence between them.

Soaking in the miasma created from their negative emotions.

    Ash kneels silently before his opponent, head down and unresponsive to my calls through the mind link. “Shit,” Corrin mutters, “he cut Ash's vocal cords.”“What do we do?” Sophia asks, her worry filled voice—barely audible.Celeste grits her teeth, furious “we can't do anything. Unless he says he forfeits through the mind link. We can't interfere”Come on Ash, say something. I call again through the mind link.Silence.His opponent looks back at us with a misshapen grin then he turns to Ash and raises his hand with his claws completely out.My heart rattles as my gaze moves from his hand to Ash kneeling defenceless. He's speaking to Ash, whatever it is it makes Ash fingers twitch.He's still conscious.Ash! Come on!I promise you. He will pay. But we can't do that if you die here.More silence. And it eats away at me. The others too. Corrin's left leg is restless and Celeste is one bite short of ripping off her own finger. Ash please!“I….”He responds and I can see the spark in

    “Are you okay?” Celeste asks, her worry filled voice pulling me from the almost euphoric feeling swelling within me.“Of course I am” I reply, turning to her only to see the worried expressions on their faces. “Well, you didn't sound fine,” Corrin says.“Yeah, I didn't take you for someone that took pleasure in the pain of others” Sophia adds. Now that stings, like someone just slapped me.It's only then I realize what I had done. What the hell was that?The laughing aside, It was almost like I lost myself at that moment and the Hollow man took control away from me.The thought of him controlling me sends a shiver through me. “Did you know her?” Celeste asks, moving closer to me.I sigh, “Yeah, she's one of my cousin's friends”“You mean the ones you followed that day?” Corrin asks, and I almost see a spark of anger in his eyes.“Yeah,” I reply, pinching the bridge of my nose as a sudden dizziness hits me.“I just haven't seen her defeated before. Any of them. It just felt so good

  • 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
