Avalon's POV

Six months of consistent cooperation and changed behavior has earned me something I didn't expect - actual freedom. Not complete freedom, but I can move through the stronghold without constant guard escort now. Can attend meetings. Work on projects. Participate in pack activities without being treated as dangerous criminal requiring containment.

The transition from prisoner to trusted pack member happened gradually, built on hundreds of small choices to be honest, reliable, and genuinely helpful rather than strategically manipulative. And now I'm actually contributing to the omega advocacy movement I once threatened through my actions.

"These protection protocols need revision," I say during a meeting with omega rights organizers. "The sanctuary provisions look good on paper, but implementation will fail without enforcement mechanisms and independent oversight."

The lead organizer, a female omega named Sera who has every reason to distrust me, actually considers my input

    Jason's POVThe courtroom is massive, designed to accommodate the historic nature of these trials. Rows of seating for observers from across supernatural communities, all here to witness justice for crimes that spanned decades and affected hundreds of omegas. The defendants sit in a fortified enclosure - lords, council members, research directors, all the architects of suffering that destroyed so many lives including my own.And I'm the primary witness. The face of omega victimization and survival, here to publicly detail my experiences and trauma for legal record and supernatural-wide broadcast.My hands shake slightly as I take the witness stand. Ivan is in the front row, his presence a steady anchor. Kaelen sits beside him, taking notes despite the official court record - his way of processing and supporting. Avalon is positioned with security, still recovering from his injury but insisting on being here.The lead prosecutor, a stern Lycan female named Magistrate Thorne, approaches

    Ivan's POVCommander Hayes enters my office looking grim, carrying a sealed folder marked with the highest security classification. I know before he opens his mouth that this is the intelligence I've been dreading for weeks."The Blackmoor documents checked out," he says without preamble. "We've verified the financial records, cross-referenced the correspondence, authenticated the signatures. It's all legitimate."I want to reject this. Want to find some flaw in the evidence, some reason to dismiss what Blackmoor claimed about Lycan officials being involved in omega experimentation programs. But Hayes wouldn't be here with that expression if there was any doubt."Show me."He spreads documents across my desk - financial transfers, official correspondence, meeting minutes that discuss "omega utilization projects" in clinical detail that barely disguises their true nature. And there, amid all the damning evidence, are names I recognize. Lycan officials I've met at court functions. Lords

    Jason's POVManaging three relationships simultaneously is exponentially more complicated than I anticipated. It's not just about dividing time - it's about providing different types of emotional energy, meeting varied needs, maintaining appropriate boundaries while building genuine intimacy with each mate.My counselor, Dr. Marsh, helps me navigate the practical and emotional challenges during our weekly sessions. Today we're discussing the schedule I've created - color-coded and detailed enough to satisfy Kaelen's organizational tendencies."This is impressive," she says, reviewing the chart. "You've allocated individual time with each mate, group activities, personal space for yourself. But how are you actually feeling about maintaining this structure?""Exhausted sometimes. Fulfilled other times." I lean back in my chair. "Ivan needs physical reassurance constantly. Kaelen craves intellectual engagement. Avalon wants... I'm still figuring out exactly what Avalon needs from me.""T

    Kaelen's POVThe library has become our sanctuary. Jason and I spend hours here, ostensibly researching legal frameworks for omega rights, but really just existing together in comfortable intellectual partnership. Today we're reviewing historical precedents for multi-pack omega protection agreements, but the conversation keeps drifting to tangential topics that interest us both."This passage suggests omegas served as diplomatic mediators between hostile packs," I say, pointing to a text from the fourteenth century. "Their ability to read emotional undercurrents made them invaluable for preventing conflicts."Jason leans over to read the passage, his shoulder brushing mine in a way that sends pleasant warmth through me. "That's fascinating. Modern narratives frame omegas as needing protection from conflicts, but historically we were the ones preventing them.""The shift happened during political consolidation periods. Leaders realized omegas with diplomatic influence were harder to co

    Avalon's POVThe messenger arrives during breakfast. A Lycan official I don't recognize, his expression carefully neutral in that way that means he's delivering bad news."Avalon Ravenscrest?" he asks formally."Yes." I set down my fork, already knowing this won't be good."I regret to inform you that your father, Lord Marcus Ravenscrest, has died in Lycan custody."The words hit me like a physical blow. I hear them, understand them intellectually, but they don't feel real. My father is dead. The man who dominated my entire life, whose approval I chased desperately, whose disappointment shaped every choice I made - gone."How?" My voice sounds distant to my own ears."He took his own life during the night. Guards discovered him this morning." The messenger's tone remains professionally sympathetic. "He left a note. Would you like to see it?"I nod numbly. He hands me a sealed envelope bearing my father's handwriting. Just seeing those familiar letters makes my throat tight.The messen
