Cassian’s restless pacing from last night echoed in my head as I slipped into the academy library.

“Over here,” Lyra whispered, her flashlight cutting through the dust, her Vesper jacket zipped tight. The basement was a maze of shelves, the air musty with old books and magic.

I followed, my boots soft on the stone floor, my eyes scanning for traps.

I wasn't sure what was bothering him, but if I could hazard a guess, I’d say it had something to do with me. I was still obsessed with finding ou

    Raven’s threat echoed in my head “Whatever you see in him, I’ll make sure it ends” as I stood in the Combat Yard, the morning sun harsh on my face. Val’s silence last night, her stubborn refusal to open up, had left me restless, my wolf pacing. The bond burned, pulling me to him despite my doubts, his walls clashing with my emotional walls. He was a lot of things but open wasn't one of them. Always on the defensive. It was really frustrating when all I want to do is help him.It has always been my personal decision to not involve myself in anyone's business but Val was making it difficult for me to go through with my decision. The Dominance Trials roared around me, students shouting, it was another day and the competition was still on, I didn't have eyes for anyone but him. Just when my eyes found Val, standing in a far corner to hide his presence, Darren, the dorm bully, stepped forward, his sneer wide. “Rhen, you’re up,” he barked, pointing at Val. “No declining.” My heart kick

  • Dominion Academy: Rise of The Omega    Chapter 50: Dominance Games (Cassian's POV)

    Val’s scent lingered in my mind, that faint sweetness from the infirmary, too soft for an alpha. And too entrapping to be ordinary. I couldn’t shake it off. What the hell is wrong with me?My wolf restless as I stood in the Assembly Hall, the air buzzing with students. Lyra’s warning to Val “You need to prepare for the day he finds out” rang in my ears, overheard when I lingered outside her garden. Which was very annoying. I always seem to appear late when they're mostly done with their conversations.But time and time again, I was always proven right that Val was hiding something major, his stubborn silence driving a wedge between us, and my family’s rule of no emotions made sure I keep my walls up. But the freakish bond pulled, hot and heavy, trying to make me give in to the savage impulses of the wolf within. And none of those impulses involve a gentle pat on the back.Headmaster Rin stepped onto the stage, his voice booming. “The annual Dominance Trials begin today! No individu

  • Dominion Academy: Rise of The Omega    Chapter 49: Scentless Lies (Valeria's POV)

    I woke with a start, my heart pounding from a nightmare of Cain finding out the truth and dragging me out of Dominion Academy.It took me a moment to put myself in order before I took in my surrounding. The dorm was dim, morning light creeping through the curtains, but Cassian was already up, rummaging through my side of the room. What the hell?His tall frame bent over my desk, his black hair messy, his gray eyes focused. My stomach twisted—he was inspecting, again, like he had been since the raid. Lyra's warning from last night echoed: "Cassian plans to find out what we're hiding." He’d confronted her after leaving, thinking she will break, but she’d deflected. Now here he was, too close to my secrets."What are you doing?" I snapped, sitting up fast, my voice sharp. My eyes locked on him, as I put on my mask of utter annoyance. He straightened, his strong build filling the space, his face expressionless as always."Just checking supplies," he said, his voice casual, but his eyes

    Val’s panicked voice rang in my ears as I hurried through the academy halls, her voice shaking over the phone after telling her what Cain had in mind.I reached Val’s dorm, knocking softly. "It’s me," I whispered. She yanked me inside, her blue eyes wide, her small frame tense. "We need to move your stash," I said, my voice low. "Cain’s coming tonight, and he couldn't be too far behind.”I’d gotten the info from a Vesper contact, that was close to him. Cain was sniffing around Val, and it wasn’t good. My sister’s face flashed in my mind, her forced mating to a brute alpha ending her life, and I clenched my fists. I wouldn’t let that happen to Val. She was smart, tenacious, with that good-hearted fire, but her family was making her into something she isn't. Val’s face paled, her hands shaking as she grabbed her bag. "Where?" she asked, her voice cracking, vulnerability showing. I pulled her to my room, the hallways empty, the air heavy with night."In the secret basement," I said, le

  • Dominion Academy: Rise of The Omega    Chapter 47: Blood and Bone (Valeria's POV)

    I knew Cain was really on to me when I heard Cassian was seen leaving his office with a sour look on his face. Gossip has a way of circulating in school especially when it's about the golden boy.Cassian always had a frown on his face, but it turns sour, it means something is wrong. However I didn't have time to worry about it. My phone buzzed in my pocket, a message from Lyra: Meet me in the ritual room. It's urgent. My heart skipped, my hands cold as I hurried through the academy halls, my eyes darting for wolves hiding within shadows. Raven's threat still rang “Let’s not pretend I don’t know a lie when I smell it.” And Cain’s interrogation yesterday had left me shaken, his nose has caught onto a scent and he wouldn't stop until he finds the prey he is hunting. My wolfsbane was low, my scent teetering, so I had to avoid much interaction with anybody until I took another dose of wolfsbane. The ritual room was dim, candles flickering on stone walls, the air thick with incense. Ly

  • Dominion Academy: Rise of The Omega    Chapter 46: The Hunt Begins (Cassian's POV)

    My phone buzzed on my desk, pulling me from thoughts of Val's strange scent slips. Cain's message: Virex, my office. Now. I cursed under my breath, my jaw tight. Val had been off all day, his blue eyes avoiding mine, his small frame tense. I heard Cain had invited him to his office, but that's just about it.I didn't know what their discussion was and I doubted Val would've opened up to me about it.Despite that, the bond that has been increasingly annoying kept tugging me towards him. It always made me feel hot and restless, every time I got near him.An effect Raven has never had on me. I refused to believe it has anything to do with a mate bond. Because there was no way in hell my wolf chose a boy for his mate.My father won't stand it. He will probably choke and keel over. Despite how serious the situation was, I couldn't help the smile that tugged at my lips when I imagined my father choking and keeling over after the news.Val was smart, strong willed but his stubborn distrust
