[Selene's POV]

The darkness wasn't a void. It was a place. It was the whisper of a thousand years of slumber, the quiet hum of a power that had been dormant for millennia. I floated in it, a small, insignificant thing in a universe of swirling shadow and ancient light. The frantic cries of my Alphas were gone, replaced by a profound, echoing silence.

Then, a voice cut through the stillness, a low, resonant baritone that belonged to the shadows themselves. "Awaken, my queen. There is much to be done."

My eyes opened, but I saw only more darkness. It wasn't a lack of light; it was a physical presence, a tangible blanket that wrapped around me. I was in a vast, cavernous space, a temple carved from pure obsidian, where the only source of light was the faint, otherworldly glow that emanated from Malachi himself.

He stood before me, his form impossibly beautiful, his stormy eyes fixed on me with an ancient, knowing light. He was no longer the god of the clearing; he was a king in his domai

  • DARK REIGN: The Omega They Can't Tame   Chapter 17 – A Tenuous Pact

    [Selene's POV]My single step forward felt like a journey of a thousand miles. It was a choice, a declaration that transcended the ravaged clearing and the frantic cries of my Alphas. The air thickened around us, heavy with the weight of my decision. The world, once so clearly defined by wolf law and pack loyalty, was now a nebulous, shifting thing. The very ground beneath my feet felt less like solid earth and more like a gateway to something ancient, something wild and untamed.I had let go of my fear. My hand, which had been pressed against my mouth, now hung at my side, a silent invitation. The Alphas' frantic shouts were a distant, unimportant thing, like the frenzied flapping of a bird against a cage. They were trapped in a world of instincts and primal urges, and I was stepping into a new reality. My heart, once a terrified drumbeat, was now a steady, powerful rhythm, a silent, knowing call to the darkness.Malachi's hand, a dark blur against the fading light, reached for min

  • DARK REIGN: The Omega They Can't Tame   Chapter 16 – The Lost King Revealed

    [Selene's POV]The vortex of shadows solidified, the churning darkness contracting and congealing into a single point. It was a visual paradox, a space that was both everything and nothing at once. The air grew still, the biting cold replaced by a heavy, profound stillness, a pressure that felt like the entire world was holding its breath. The hum of ancient power that had echoed through the clearing was gone, replaced by a silent, absolute command.Then, he stepped out. He didn’t so much walk as simply exist into being, a creature of pure, devastating presence. The shadows themselves seemed to cling to him, not as a separate entity, but as part of his very form. He was not a creature of raw, untamed power. He was an embodiment of it, a physical manifestation of the darkness I had just summoned.His form was impossibly beautiful, sculpted from shadow and grace. His hair was a cascade of black, as if spun from the very darkness of the void he had just exited. It fell to his shoulders

  • DARK REIGN: The Omega They Can't Tame   Chapter 15 – The Summoning

    [Selene's POV]The ancient howl cut through the night, a raw, primal sound that resonated deep in my bones. It was not the sound of a predator hunting. It was the howl of a king answering a summons, a dark, powerful creature acknowledging a challenge. It was his reply to my desperate call, a sound that spoke of eons of slumber and a terrifying, awakened wrath.The air itself vibrated, a low, ominous hum that felt more like a physical sensation than a sound. The howl lingered, a long, drawn-out note of power that spoke of a presence so ancient, so vast, it defied comprehension. It was a sound that had been forgotten by time, and now it was back.The Alphas heard it too. Their heads snapped up, their faces a mixture of fear and awe. The sound was not a part of their world. It was something ancient, something forgotten, a magic so powerful it shook the very ground beneath our feet.A deep, primal fear settled in their souls, the kind of fear their wolf ancestors had felt when they first

  • DARK REIGN: The Omega They Can't Tame   Chapter 14 – The Hunter's Bait

    [Selene's POV]The scream died in my throat, a ragged, raw sound that left my lungs burning. I knelt in the dirt, my body trembling not with fear, but with the aftershocks of a vision that was both terrifying and intoxicating. My eyes felt like twin stars, glowing with a cold, ominous light. I could feel the Alphas' shock, their fear, washing over me in waves, a heavy, suffocating scent. The air itself seemed to recoil from the power radiating off me, growing thin and frigid, the very shadows trembling at my back.Damien was the first to reach me, his hand hovering over my shoulder as if unsure whether to touch a creature of shadow and light."Selene, your eyes..." he whispered, his voice laced with a profound dread. "They're glowing. It's the same light..." He trailed off, the unspoken name of Malachi, the Lost King, hanging heavy in the air between us.I blinked, the light in my vision slowly fading as I forced myself back to the reality of the ruined clearing. I looked at him, and

  • DARK REIGN: The Omega They Can't Tame   Chapter 13 – The Descent into Darkness

    [Selene's POV]The words hung in the air, etched in shadow and light. "She will come to me." The chilling declaration was a final, undeniable truth. It was not a question. It was a command. A summons. The shadows that had formed the message dissipated, leaving behind a cold emptiness, a void where hope had once been. A profound sense of finality settled over the ruined clearing, heavy and absolute.The Alphas stood frozen, their faces pale, their fear a palpable scent in the air. The unspoken terror in their eyes was a direct reflection of my own. We were all trapped. Trapped by an ancient prophecy, by a dark power, and by a king who had just made his claim. He had not bothered to negotiate. He had simply commanded, treating us as little more than a necessary inconvenience.I felt a new kind of cold settle in my heart. It was not the fear of a victim. It was the chilling resolve of a warrior. I was not going to be a pawn in their game. I was not going to be a prize. The Council had
