Dominion Academy: Rise of The Omega Chapter 81: The Headmaster's Line (Cassian's POV)
Soren's office looked the same as it always did.Same dark wood desk. Same bookshelves floor to ceiling. Same view through the narrow window of the academy's inner courtyard, where students moved between classes in groups that had gotten tighter and quieter over the past three weeks.But Soren looked different.He was standing when we came in, which he never did. And when I looked at him properly, not the surface of him, not the headmaster performance, he looked like a man who had been carrying something heavy for a long time without putting it down.He waited until the door closed behind us."Sit," he said.We sat.He didn't. He stayed standing behind his desk with his hands flat on the surface, looking at both of us with the expression of someone who had made a decision that cost them something."There is rot in this building," he said. "I have known it for some time. The shape of it has been difficult to see clearly from where I stand." He paused. "Partly because the person respons
Dominion Academy: Rise of The Omega Chapter 80: What We Don't Say (Valeria's POV)
I didn't know when I drifted off to sleep again, but when I opened my eyes, he was already awake.Sitting in the chair beside the cot, forearms on his knees, watching me with that steady gray gaze that I still hadn't fully learned how to receive without wanting to look away.I looked away."How do you feel?" he asked."Better." My voice came out rougher than I expected. I cleared it. "The fever broke.""I know. Voss checked you at four.""You were here at four?""I was here all night."I didn't know what to do with that so I sat up and pushed my hair back and focused on taking stock of my body, the fever gone, my wolf still tender but no longer in active conflict, the wolfsbane wearing thin but manageable. Functional. I was functional."What did you dream?" Cassian asked.The question landed quietly. No pressure in it. Just there."Nothing," I said.He was quiet for a moment."Okay," he said.The way he said it told me he knew it wasn't nothing. The way he let it go told me he wasn't
Dominion Academy: Rise of The Omega Chapter 79: Fever and Fractures (Cassian's POV)
She made it to the dorm room.That was as far as she got.I had my hand on the door, key already out, and she stepped through ahead of me and then her knees went. I caught her before she hit the floor, both arms, full weight, her head dropping against my shoulder."Val.""I'm fine," she said. Which was what she always said. Which meant nothing.Her skin was burning. I could feel it through her jacket, through my shirt, heat radiating off her in waves that had nothing to do with exertion. Her hands were shaking."You're not fine," I said."Give me a minute.""You just collapsed.""I didn't collapse. My knees bent.""Val." I pulled back enough to look at her face. Her eyes were glassy, pupils slightly too wide, the particular look of someone whose body was fighting something it didn't have the resources to fight. "How bad?""The suppression field and the wolfsbane—" she started, then stopped. "They conflicted. My wolf is trying to recalibrate and there's not enough—" She pressed her lip
Dominion Academy: Rise of The Omega Chapter 78: The Test Subject (Valeria's POV)
Room 4B was on the second floor of the academic wing, but it didn't look like any classroom I'd been in.The furniture had been cleared. The walls were lined with equipment I didn't have names for, metal instruments on hooks, glass tubing connected to sealed containers, a long table with leather straps bolted to the sides that I looked at once and then deliberately looked away from. The floor had runes etched into it in concentric rings, shimmering faintly blue at the edges. I recognized the outer circle from a forbidden text I'd read in the Den Library before it was moved behind the locked cabinet.A containment configuration.Whatever entered the innermost ring couldn't leave until the caster released it.Cain was already there, clipboard in hand, making notes on something before I'd even closed the door. He looked up with the gentle smile he always used when he was about to do something that wasn't gentle at all."Val." He gestured to the center of the room. "Please stand in the a
Dominion Academy: Rise of The Omega Chapter 77: Rope or Lifeline (Valeria's POV)
The assignment wasn't random.Soren announced it with the same flat, unhurried delivery he used for everything, like pairing the academy's golden boy with the suspicious Alpha male who happens to be his roommate. Nobody in the room believed it. I could feel the weight of the stares from the moment he said our names.Cassian crossed the room and set his materials on the table across from me without a word.I looked at him. He looked at the worksheet."Counter-marking technique," he said. "We start with identification.""I know how to read a ward.""Then tell me what the identification step involves."I pressed my lips together. "You map the ward's energy signature before you disrupt it. If you go in blind you risk triggering a secondary alert.""Good." He slid the primary text toward me and pointed to the relevant section. "Read the mapping process. I'll set up the practice substrate."I read. He set up. Around us the rest of the class worked in pairs with considerably less charged si
Dominion Academy: Rise of The Omega Chapter 76: Marked (Cassian's POV)
I reached past Val to look at it more closely.The rune was small, pressed into the wood grain of the door near the upper corner, the kind of mark that would pass as a natural split in the wood if you weren't looking for it. Up close it had warmth. Not temperature exactly. A pulse. Faint and rhythmic, like something on the other side of it was breathing.It pulsed once under my fingers and I pulled my hand back.Then I grabbed Val's shoulder and moved her away from the door."Don't touch it," I repeated."You just touched it.""I was checking. There's a difference.""What did you feel?""A tracking ward." I kept my voice even. "Passive. It doesn't record, it just marks proximity. Anyone who passes too close registers." I looked at the door. "He put it there to know when we come and go."Val was very still beside me. "He knows which room.""He knows which room."She looked at me. The controlled expression was holding but there was something sharp underneath it, not quite fear, more th
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
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
