Chapter 108: Iron and Instinct (Valeria's POV)

مؤلف: Alex Steel
last update تاريخ النشر: 2026-09-21 21:53:56

The Iron Circle tournament opened on a Tuesday with the kind of organized chaos that reminded me why I both hated and needed this place.

All four Dominions competed across three days of bracketed combat. The Lunar Combat Arena buzzed with restless energy, students packed into the stands like wolves awaiting blood. I stood at the edge of the Solas mid-tier bracket, high enough to draw attention, low enough that nobody expected much.

I intended to use that like a weapon.

    The Iron Circle tournament opened on a Tuesday with the kind of organized chaos that reminded me why I both hated and needed this place.All four Dominions competed across three days of bracketed combat. The Lunar Combat Arena buzzed with restless energy, students packed into the stands like wolves awaiting blood. I stood at the edge of the Solas mid-tier bracket, high enough to draw attention, low enough that nobody expected much.I intended to use that like a weapon."The first bracket's posted," Cassian said, appearing at my elbow. He'd been back hovering around for a while, although he has been acting quiet and withdrawn, but he still found me before every match. "You're up against Vesper. Some tactician type.""Good.""Good?""I know how to fight tacticians." I rolled my shoulders, loosening the tension. "They read opponents. I'll give them something to read."Cassian studied me. "You're different.""I'm the same.""No. You're not." He shook his head. "You used to look scared bef

  • Dominion Academy: Rise of The Omega    Chapter 106: Her Own Armor (Valeria's POV)

    I walked into Professor Jacobs's leadership class and took a seat at the front.Three months ago, I'd have hidden in the back row. Made myself small. Invisible. The girl who spent most of her early days in school trying not to be seen had made a decision somewhere between the rooftop and this morning.Invisibility had a cost I was no longer willing to pay.I couldn't control the bond. Couldn't control Cassian's choices. Couldn't control the bloodline inquiry that was already circling me like a shark.But I could control how much space I took up in the rooms I'd earned the right to be in.Professor Jacobs entered the classroom, his sharp eyes scanning the students. They landed on me. Paused. Something flickered in his expression. Approval, maybe. Or surprise."Today," he said, "we're discussing crisis leadership. How to command when your authority is being actively questioned."He moved to the front of the room. His gaze found me again."Miss Rhen. Let's use you as an example."I sat u

  • Dominion Academy: Rise of The Omega    Chapter 105: The Ranks Don't Lie (Cassian's POV)

    The morning assembly hall buzzed with restless energy.Headmaster Soren stood at the podium, his voice carrying across the packed room like a blade through silk. "The Alpha Ascension Trials will begin in four weeks. Three-stage evaluation. Combat, strategy, and dominance. Only senior alphas will be eligible."The weight of expectation settled over me like armor I'd been fitted for before I was old enough to have opinions about it.I was supposed to want this.I did want this.I also wanted things I wasn't currently allowing myself to want, and the two sets of desires kept colliding in my chest like opposing tides."Virex."I turned. Maren Solace stood beside me, her sharp eyes gleaming with barely concealed amusement. Senior Moonmarked. Alpha Council lead. The kind of woman who noticed everything and forgot nothing."Congratulations on your eligibility," she said. "The Ascension Trials suit you.""Thank you.""Of course." She paused, tilting her head. "Though the council has noted som

  • Dominion Academy: Rise of The Omega    Chapter 104: Silo at Midnight (Valeria’s POV)

    The dorm door clicked shut behind me without a sound.I moved through the academy's shadows like I'd been born in them. Eastern path. Past the training yard. Cut behind the storage sheds where the patrols never looked. Every route memorized, every timing calculated.The night air was cold against my skin. The woods beyond the wards hummed with old magic, a low thrum that vibrated through the ground and up into my bones.I kept my pace steady. Quiet.The last thing I needed was to draw attention and get hauled away for violating curfew. The abandoned greenhouse emerged from the trees like a ghost. Glass panes shattered. Iron frame rusted. The perfect hiding place for someone who didn't want to be found.I ducked inside."Silo."Nothing."Silo, I know you're here."A rustle from the corner. Then Silo's wiry frame materialized out of the shadows, his sharp eyes catching the faint moonlight."You're late," he said."I'm here.""Barely." He pulled a small pouch from his pocket and tossed

  • Dominion Academy: Rise of The Omega    Chapter 103: The Art of Pretending (Valeria's POV)

    Professor Fisher's herbology greenhouse smelled like damp earth and crushed leaves.I catalogued suppression herbs with the focused attention of someone who needed every scrap of information but made sure not to look like I needed it. Mugwort. Juniper. Wolfsbane, obviously. Each one listed with its properties, its dosages, its side effects.Three days left.The number repeated in my head like an unforgettable chant. Three days until the wolfsbane ran out. Three days until my scent spilled through my carefully constructed disguise.Lyra would have known what to do.But Lyra was still missing. Still somewhere in the dark, if she was anywhere at all.I pressed my fingers into the dirt of the potted plant in front of me and tried to breathe."Miss Rhen."I looked up. Professor Fisher stood at the end of the table, her silver hair catching the greenhouse light. "You're supposed to be cataloguing, not daydreaming.""Sorry, Professor." I turned back to my notes. "I was just—""The wolfsbane

    The Solas strategy meeting droned on.I sat at the head of the table and heard nothing. Just noise. Meaningless words about ranking assignments and upcoming trials. My wolf paced inside me, restless and hungry for something I refused to name.Had been pacing since the rooftop.Since the lab.Since the moment I said those words out loud and watched Val's face do that thing. Disbelief first. Then grief. Then longing, quick and bright, before she stepped back like I'd burned her.I told myself the distance was protection.My wolf told me I was a liar."Virex."I blinked. Headmaster Soren's voice cut through the haze."Your thoughts on the Iron Circle assignments?"I straightened in my chair. "The bracket needs restructuring. Ferox has three top-tier fighters in the same quarter. It's inefficient."Soren studied me. "Noted."The meeting dragged on another twenty minutes. I contributed nothing. Left as soon as Soren dismissed us, my legs carrying me toward the training yard before my brain

    The silence that hung between us wasn’t peaceful. It was thick, stiff and heavy in the very corners of the room like dust no one dared to sweep.Val didn’t answer my question.Didn’t even flinch.Just climbed into bed and pulled the blanket up like I hadn’t asked a damn thing.And that pissed the h

    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 han

    The night swallowed me whole.The moment my feet hit the dense forest beyond my father’s estate, I forced myself not to look back. Every instinct screamed at me to run, to put as much distance between myself and my former life as possible. But I couldn’t afford reckless speed. Not yet.I kept my st

    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
