Dominion Academy: Rise of The Omega

The grand hall was suffocating.Rows of wolves in formal attire stood along the edges of the large room, their whispers moving through the air like a curse I couldn't shake. My father, Alpha Rhen, stood tall at the head of the room, his sharp gaze scanning the gathered pack members before settling on me.He raised a hand, and silence fell."Tonight, we celebrate the union that will strengthen our pack," he announced, his deep voice carrying the weight of authority. "My daughter, Valeria Rhen, will be mated to Alpha Darius Volk of the Bloodfang Pack."A low murmur rippled through the room. Some looked at me with pity. Others, amusement.I knew what they were thinking. Why would an alpha as ruthless as Darius Volk want a weak omega like her?I forced my expression to remain still, even as my stomach twisted. It didn’t matter that I was the Alpha’s daughter—without strength, I was nothing in their eyes. A burden. A tool to be traded away for power.The doors at the far end of the hall c

The great hall buzzed with conversations. It seemed everybody was curious about who they were about to be sharing a room with.And from the look of things, I wasn't the only fresher. There were some people with bags. Obviously they didn't have to run away from their homes to be here.Students gathered in clusters, some jostling for a better view of the massive screen flickering above the entrance. The moment the first names appeared, murmurs filled the air.I kept to the edge of the crowd, my pulse steady but my body tight with anticipation. Every part of this academy was a test. Every move I made was being watched.I knew that much, because I looked nothing like the other male alphas despite my claim.They wanted to know who I was truly but there was no way I was going to let anybody know.Especially if I don't want to get kicked out. But something about this place told me that would be the least of my worries if I were to be caught.I scanned the names, searching for mine.Then the

Raven tasted like cherry lip balm and something feminine. She was soft in the way I liked as we locked lips.Her fingers tangled in my hair, her body warm against mine as she shifted on my lap, lips trailing down my jaw. I let my head fall back against the wall, exhaling through my nose as her hands slid lower, teasing at the hem of my shirt.“You’re distracted,” she murmured, her breath hot against my throat.I wasn’t. Or at least, I shouldn’t have been.But my mind kept circling back to the fight earlier, to the freshman who had no business winning, no business being here.Val Rhen.Something about him was wrong. I don't know why it bothered me but it was really getting on my nerves. I only met him a few hours ago and already it's as if he has lodged himself into my mind.Am I getting interested in a guy? That's impossible. It's just me overreacting to the whole issue.My wolf felt it, pacing uneasily beneath my skin, agitated in a way it had never been before. But Raven had a way

I didn’t really sleep on my first night. My body was still, but my mind wouldn’t shut up. Every time I closed my eyes, I felt Cassian’s presence. His voice repeating: no questions. No noise. No weakness. Like a damn command etched into the walls.He didn’t see me as a person. I was just something that landed in his space uninvited. Something he couldn’t figure out, which probably annoyed him more than anything.But I didn’t care. I couldn’t afford to.I had one job: survive Dominion long enough to graduate and vanish. No attention. No slipups. No unwanted attention. Keep my status hidden, keep my cover tight.Still, I felt him watching me last night. I could feel it, even with my back turned.And when I woke up, my bag wasn’t zipped the way I left it.A chill slid down my spine. He found the wolfsbane. Of course he did.That wasn’t part of the plan. I was getting sloppy and I realized with some level of irritation that Cassian Virex was going to be a problem.---Combat Strategy was

I couldn’t stop shaking.Back in the dorm, the door clicked shut behind me, and I slid down the frame, my knees hitting the floor hard. My heart was still hammering from Combat Strategy. I touched my nose, still sore, still bruised. Still not healing.Cassian hadn’t said a word to me all the time we managed to catch sight of each other, which was somehow worse than if he had. He knew something.I saw it in the way he looked at me after I bled. The flash in his eyes, not of concern, but calculation like he was trying to catch onto something. And I bet he was. I was like a puzzle now. Something he was trying to figure out.I pulled open the drawer where I kept my wolfsbane vial and froze.Empty.Panic slammed into me like a punch to the gut. “No, no, no—” I breathed.Where was my stash? I didn't want to go there, but I was convinced that Cassian had a hand in my things going missing.The next full moon was in two nights. And tomorrow was inspection day.Every room checked. Every st
