Dominion Academy: Rise of The Omega Chapter 111: The Girl Who Came Back (Lyra's POV)
I unpacked my bag while Val sat on my bed and filled me in on everything I'd missed.The tournament. The bracket change. The hearing. Cassian's sudden shift from cold to protective. I listened, laughed in the right places, asked the right questions. I was entirely myself.I also couldn't account for approximately six days of my memory.I'd filed it under "exhaustion from the pack emergency" and didn't examine it too closely. Examining it felt like looking directly at something uncomfortable and somehow wrong. The kind of wrong that made my stomach twist if I thought about it too long. So I didn't think about it. I smiled and nodded and folded my clothes and pretended everything was exactly as it should be."So he just went to the greenhouse?" I asked, folding a shirt and tucking it into my drawer. "In the middle of the night?"Val nodded from her spot on my bed. "He said he'd handle it.""And did he?""He got the wolfsbane.""Not what I asked." I turned to face her, the shirt forgott
Dominion Academy: Rise of The Omega Chapter 110: What Winning Costs (Valeria's POV)
The Iron Circle finals arrived on Day Three with the weight of expectation pressing down from every everyone.I'd won every match leading up to this. Not cleanly. Not easily. But consistently. Through strategy, patience, and the specific advantage of being consistently underestimated.My final opponent was a Solas senior—tall, broad-shouldered, the kind of alpha who had never had to work for anything because his body was already built to dominate. He looked at me across the arena floor with the casual dismissal of someone who'd already written the outcome in his head.I intended to make him rewrite it.The common room watched on the academy feed. I knew because I could feel the collective energy from the stands, could hear the murmurs rippling through the crowd. Cassian watched from the arena itself, standing apart from Raven, who was seated in the Vesper section with her perfect posture and perfect smile and perfect attention fixed on him watching me.The horn blared.I moved before
Dominion Academy: Rise of The Omega Chapter 109: The Wrong Kind of Attention (Cassian's POV)
I saw the bracket change the same way Val did—on the posted board outside Obsidian Hall.My expression stayed neutral. My wolf did not.I spent approximately four seconds being professionally calm about it before I was inside Obsidian Hall, my voice carrying across the chamber like a blade."Who authorized the bracket adjustment?"The council aide on duty looked up, her eyes widening slightly at my tone. "Alpha Virex. The bracket changes were—""I asked who authorized them."She swallowed. "Any senior alpha can request a bracket review. The request was submitted this morning. Procedurally—""The requestor's name.""The request was anonymous."I smiled. "Thank you very much. That's very helpful."She looked like she wanted to disappear into the floor.I turned and walked out.Ronan caught up with me in the corridor."I saw the bracket," he said, matching my pace. "I also saw you walk into Obsidian Hall looking like you were about to burn it down.""I wasn't going to burn it down.""You
Dominion Academy: Rise of The Omega Chapter 108: Iron and Instinct (Valeria's POV)
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 107: What He Owes Her (Cassian's POV)
My expression didn't change. My wolf snarled loud enough that I had to breathe through it. The thought that Raven could be involved in this set something loose in my chest—something cold and sharp that wanted to break things. I'd spent months maintaining that alliance. Playing the part of the perfect golden boy with the perfect golden girlfriend. And all along, she'd been circling Val. Watching her. Waiting for the moment to strike. "Raven," I said again, forcing my voice level. "You're sure?" Val met my gaze without flinching. "She's the only one with access. Alpha Council members, Headmaster Soren, Professor Cain—and Raven. Her family has ties to every major pack in the territory. She'd know exactly where to look and exactly how to phrase the request." I nodded slowly. Filed it away. Would deal with it later. Raven was a problem I'd created through my own negligence, and I'd have to be the one to undo it. "The council inquiry is Maren Solace," I said, shifting the conversatio
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 4: The First Test (Cassian's POV)
The training grounds were alive with tension. Everybody seemed uneasy on the field. They were about to be introduced to something they've never undertaken so their worry was expected. But weakness was not tolerated.Dominance challenges weren’t just a tradition at Dominion Academy—they were law. I
Dominion Academy: Rise of The Omega Chapter 3: The Golden Boy’s Roommate (Valeria's POV)
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 gathe
Dominion Academy: Rise of The Omega Chapter 6: Suspicious Wolf (Cassian’s POV)
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
Dominion Academy: Rise of The Omega Chapter 5: Unexpected Interruption (Cassian's POV)
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
