HOW TO KILL THE OMEGA LUNA

Khalid is my mate. The realization seemed more and more untrue as I thought about it. Bell, my wolf, couldn’t contain her excitement and wanted to be in the arms of her mate immediately. And so did I. But as I watched his graceful and eloquent movement, my heart shattered into a thousand pieces. Khalid was the son of the Alpha—the first son for that matter. And me, a poor and weak Omega girl, was mated to him. How in the universe would that work? I was in the very lowest of class and he was in the very highest. There was no way he wouldn’t be despised by my existence if he realized his mate was an Omega. Just as I was looking at him, his eyes suddenly met mine. All the pores in my body froze at that moment. Time seemed to stand still as our gazes locked. I felt like I was drowning in the depths of his eyes. But then, his gaze shifted, almost immediately. And I wondered if he had really looked at me or I was seeing things. As I stood there, lost in thought, the head of maids appea

Khalid walked off the stage to hand the mic to the MC, who was too shaken to move from where he stood. Then I watched as he left the room afterward, leaving confusion in the air. My legs gave out, and Dilan caught me as I was about to fall to the ground, tears welling up in my eyes. The excruciating sensation followed. Bell was breaking inside of me. My soul twisted like it was being dragged. I fought to prevent any attention in my direction, but the pain was just too much. Even through the pain, I could hear the murmurs around me. Soon, everyone was gasping, and the entire hall had eyes on the girl the Alpha’s second son was holding. Slowly, they started putting the pieces together. “Wait… is it that Omega?” “She’s the one?” “How did she manage to get the next Alpha as her mate?” “Why is my Dilan with her?” “I saw Khalid looking in a particular direction as he spoke. So it must be her.” “Why does she look so surprised then? Did she really expect that he’d accept her?

MIA Finally, I felt the motion stop, my eyes still shut tight. I refused to open them and meet Khalid’s gaze, and it was easy because his scent weakened my senses. A thud sounded, and he released me from his arms. My unsteady legs gave out, and I crashed to the floor, unprepared. The door shut behind us.Khalid walked slowly into the dark room, his footsteps matching the pace of my heartbeat. Somehow, I wasn’t panting anymore—I wasn’t feeling anymore.I tried to take in the room from where I sat on the floor, but the darkness made it impossible.A click turned the light on, and suddenly my eyes scanned the room. I swallowed hard as I beheld the archery weapons, swords, and several drawings on the wall. At the far end stood a shelf filled with books, and a closed box on top of it. The entire room reeked of his scent, making it even harder to think.“The curious type, eh?” he mouthed.His voice made my heart skip a beat and brought me back to my senses. He sat in a chair across from

MIA I was shaken as Dilan led me out of the underground stairs. He held my hand, dragging me forcefully, until I stopped him. I had watched him hit Caleb in the face and warn him to stay away before taking me. I’d tried to protest, but Dilan left so quickly I found myself at the top of the stairs before I could blink. He growled when I freed my arms from his grip, irritation flashing in his expression. “What are you doing—” “There’s no time for this, Mia. If you want, I can explain while we’re driving.” I froze. He had called me by name. I hadn’t fully processed everything that happened today, but I was certain—I never told him my name. And he hadn’t heard anyone else say it either. So how did he know? He must’ve seen the question on my face because he muttered, almost like to himself, “I’ve known more about you than you think.” That chilled me more than I could explain. Before I could respond, he grabbed my hand again and kept moving. Two servants patrolled toward us,

MIA When Dilan came back, I was seated on the floor. And so was Eva. Her back was still against the chair I pushed her to, and her head was bent down, hair covering her face. I was certain the push didn’t hurt her that much to still be in that state. She only stayed in that position because she wanted Dilan to arrive and meet her there. Surely he’d be very angered if he came in and saw her that way, considering the fact that he liked her. But I couldn’t care less. So much has happened to me already—so much that I didn’t care what Dilan does to me. As he opened the door, his eyes first fell on Eva, before they looked in my direction. I waited for the anger to flash in his eyes—or a yell asking me what happened. Instead Dilan walked to me and offered his hand to help me get up. His face was hard. I couldn't read him. “We’re leaving.” “Going back to the pack?” I asked excitedly and got up without his help for the second time today. “Yes, your soulmate is waiting for you.”
