Dominion Academy: Rise of The Omega Chapter 11: Dorm Fight (Valeria’s POV)
By the time I made it back to the dining hall, the morning crowd had thinned out. Perfect.I kept my hoodie low, tray balanced in one hand, head down as I slid into the last corner seat near the back wall. Sleep hadn’t come easy last night. Not after Cassian. Not after his voice, low and close in the dark, whispering, “Next time you lie to me, I’ll know.”I stabbed a piece of sausage with my fork and forced it into my mouth. It tasted dry and flavorless but it kept my hands busy.The noise of the hall rolled around me—laughter, chairs scraping, the occasional snarl as two hotheads sized each other up. All normal. All expected. Alphas thrived on tension.So I kept quiet. Ate fast. Head down.“Hey.”I froze mid-bite.The voice came from two seats down. It was too smug to ignore. Too loud to pretend I didn’t hear.Slowly, I looked up.Darren.He smirked when I met his gaze. “You’re the new guy, right? The quiet one.”I didn’t answer.He slid into the seat across from me anyway, tray cla
Dominion Academy: Rise of The Omega Chapter 10: Under the Moonlight (Cassian’s POV)
I caught him just in time.One second later and the patrol unit would’ve had him in chains.His hoodie rustled under my grip as I yanked him into the dark behind the maintenance shed. His breath hitched, sharp and ragged against my neck. I slammed a hand over his mouth before he could say anything.“Don’t move,” I whispered.The patrols rushed past us, boots pounding against the pavement, voices barking into radios. My heart beat hard against his back. He was warm, but shaking.I had to resist the urge to pull him closer and wrap my arms around his body. Fuck, I need to control my thoughts.Val.What the hell are you doing?I waited, barely breathing, until the noise faded. Only then did I lower my hand.He spun, eyes wide, face pale under the moonlight.“You—Cassian, what are you—?”I cut him off. “You almost got caught.”He glanced over his shoulder, chest heaving. “I—I had it under control.”I scoffed. “Sure. Running straight into a double patrol was part of the plan?”He didn’t

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
Dominion Academy: Rise of The Omega Chapter 8: Headmaster’s Warning(Cassian’s POV)
I was out of the arena before Val even left the circle.His nose was still bleeding. His eyes was a bit unsteady as if trying to maintain consciousness. His hands were shaking.That wasn't normal. Especially for a full fledged alpha.I didn’t need to wait around to hear the rest of Renwick’s lecture. I’d seen enough. Something was off with him. If it wasn't compulsory for freshers and juniors to take this type of classes together, I would've missed it.I knew it the second I caught him sleeping too still, breathing too light, like a predator pretending to be prey. Now it was written all over his face. The way he froze when the blood wouldn’t stop, like he expected it. Like he knew it would happen.And then there was the wolfsbane.You don’t just carry that unless you’ve got something to hide.I pushed through the hallways, ignoring the stares from students still buzzing about “the alpha who doesn’t heal.” Dominion was brutal, sure—but we were alphas. We were supposed to heal in a m
Dominion Academy: Rise of The Omega Chapter 7: First Class, First Blood (Valeria’s POV)
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
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 hell out of me. I was the alpha dammit and when I asked a question, I expect an answer almost immediately.“Who the hell are you?” I said again, quieter this time, more to myself.I was surprised by the quiet tone I was taking with him, when everything in me wanted to grab him and shake some answers out of him.I waited but still, nothing came out of it.His back was turned, his breathing steady. Either he was fast asleep–which will be too fucking fast—or pretending.I sat there for a moment, jaw tight, fingers drumming once against my knee before I pushed up from the bed.Fine. If he didn’t want to answer, that was his problem, but I wasn’t letting this... situation continue.I need to tough
