Omega of Two Packs The Destiny Child
Ashton’s POVThe halls to the east wing were quiet. Every guard who saw me dipped his head and looked away. Xander had ordered them not to stop me. Let him make his mistakes. I hated that it worked. I kept my hands in my coat pockets and walked until the stone turned to dirt and the palace turned to tents. Zeth and his men were camped just outside the palace walls. The moment I stepped into the camp, the boy saw me. He was sitting by the fire with a piece of bread in his hand. He dropped it and ran. “Uncle Ash!” He hit me at the waist and threw his arms around me. He smelled like smoke and pine. I knelt and hugged him back. “Hey,” I said. My voice cracked. “I missed you.” Zeth stood from where he had been sharpening a blade. He didn’t smile. He just looked relieved.“Ashton,” he said. He came closer and reached out without thinking. His hand went for my stomach. I caught his wrist before he could touch me. His eyes flicked up to mine. For a second we just stood there like
Omega of Two Packs On His Stomach
Ashton’s POVThe floor was still cold under my palms. I stayed there for a long time after Xander left. Not because I couldn’t move. Because moving meant I had to face what I had just done.I pushed myself up slowly. My body felt heavier than it should. The baby was showing and already it was making every choice feel like it cost something.My chest tightened like a stone. Regret tasted bitter in my tongue. I had lied. Not with words, but with silence. With the way I kept looking toward the door every time Zeth’s name came up.I couldn’t stay in that room. The air was thick with everything I hadn’t said.So I left.The palace gardens were empty. Snow had fallen and now it was melting into the grass in thin patches. The air smelled like wet earth and pine.It was the kind of cold that cleared your head if you let it.I walked the stone path without thinking. My hands kept drifting to my stomach. Not to protect it. I had to remind myself that it was real, and there was still something g
Omega of Two Packs Shadow and Paper
Lord Void’s POVThe blood on the stone had gone cold an hour ago.Twelve men stood in a circle around me with their heads bowed and their breath coming out in white clouds that vanished into the dark.We were deep in the catacombs beneath my keep where no light reached except the black fire burning in the iron bowl at the center of the room.“Look at me,” I told them.They lifted their eyes. Fear was better than faith, and I saw plenty of it.I raised both hands and the air turned heavy.Shadow peeled away from the walls like skin and pooled in my palms until it was thick enough to hold. It pulsed against my skin and wanted to be fed.“Dark Shadow God,” I called. My voice did not echo. The stone swallowed it. “Come through me. Come through them.”I began the incantation. The words were old and they cut my tongue as I spoke them, but that was part of the price.The shadow in my hands split into twelve threads and shot forward. Each one forced itself between the lips of the men standing
Omega of Two Packs The Book of Wolves
Brenda’s POVLord Merrick had been whining for the last hour.We were standing in the snow half a mile from the cottage and he had not stopped talking since we gave up the search.“I told you we should have gone the other way,” he said. “You told me your intel was good. Your source is always good until it is not.”“I am not wrong,” I told him without looking at him.“My sources do not fail. Ashton was here. We were minutes behind him.”I turned and started walking back toward the tree line. “Then we go back and we finish this.”“Finish what,” Merrick said. “We lost him. The snow covered everything.”I did not answer him. Men like Merrick needed someone to blame when they felt powerless. Let him talk.Then I saw movement ahead. A figure in a blue cloak moving through the trees toward us.When the person reached us they kept their head down. I already knew who it was. "Did you find him?""If we had, you wouldn't be asking." I snapped. "Your information was wrong," Lord Merrick said.

The Empty BedXander’s POVI walked out of the war room exhausted. There had been too many meetings, too many maps spread across the table, and too many voices telling me where the Crescent wolves had been seen and where they had not.I had not spoken to Zeth in any of them. He sat across from me and kept his mouth closed, and I let him. It pleased me to watch him silent. When he stepped out, it felt like a weight was taken off my heart.I moved through the corridors toward my chamber with my steps even and my hands steady.Then I saw them. Both guards asleep on the floor outside my door.I did not say anything. I stepped over their bodies and pushed the door open.The room was empty. The fire had burned down to red coals, and the bed was cold.I walked the perimeter once. The window was closed. His black cloak was gone. There was no sign of Ashton.Something in me went very still. I turned and went back into the hall. I reached down and took the first guard by the front of his coat a
Omega of Two Packs The Royal Clip
Ashton’s POVThe trees were not thick enough to hide in, but they were all I had. I pulled the child down behind the trunk and pressed us both to the bark, my arms locked around him because if he made a sound we would not make it out of these woods.His small body shook against me, and the snow soaked through my cloak and into my knees.The footsteps were close. They cut through the quiet like knives, and each one landed in my chest.Behind us, the door of the cottage slammed open.I did not turn. I already knew who it was.“Where did he go,” Brenda said. Her voice carried over the snow, sharp and annoyed.Lord Merrick answered her. “We wasted time coming here. You should have listened to me.”“My intel never fails,” Brenda said. “I know Ashton was out here. Check around.”The child in my arms made a broken sound. I covered his mouth with my hand before he could cry, and I shook my head against his hair. He understood. He nodded once, tears hot on my palm.The footsteps moved closer.
