Veyra POV

Once he leaves, I don’t move. I hear the door click behind me, but I stand still. The sound echoes loudly despite how quiet it is. My body is frozen, I stand just inside the threshold and take in the space. It’s too clean, too still.

Everything looks untouched. The bed is perfectly made, the lighting is dim but warm, and the air smells faintly of cedar and something else, maybe cloves.

Nothing about this place belongs to me, and yet they have given me the room. For how long, though?

My fingers twitch at my sides. I slowly walk deeper into the room. Each step across the thick rug feels wrong, like a mistake. I pass the bed and barely glance at the silken sheets. My gaze sweeps around and takes in the rest of the space.

The room is lavish and far more beautiful than my own room at the pack. That room was fit for an alpha; this room is like it’s made for royalty. There’s a vanity near the window and a small chair beside the fireplace. A door is cracked open slightly and leads t

  • Omega's Reckoning The Trials   Just Mine

    RAEL POVHer hands rest in mine, warmer than before, but still hesitant. I watch her, not just with my eyes but with every instinct I have. She's dangerous, and not because of the magic that pulsed through her hours ago. It's because I don’t want to let go.She doesn’t speak again right away, and I don’t push. The silence isn't uncomfortable, not anymore. Something changed between us. Maybe because I’m the only one who didn’t flinch. Maybe because I didn’t try to control it or stop her. I just helped her breathe.“Have you ever felt something in you that doesn’t belong?” she asks softly.I sit back, giving her space, but not letting go. “Every day of my childhood.”Her eyes flick up to meet mine, curious but cautious. She doesn’t know much about me. That’s by design.“I’m rogue-born,” I say, because it’s time. “Half the Alphas here only tolerate me because I proved I was more dangerous than the wolves they raised in silk and stone.”She leans in slightly, listening.“I was raised on b

  • Omega's Reckoning The Trials   Alone

    Rael POVThere's almost calmness in Veyra right now. Like whatever the magic was inside her, that just exploded also removed the tension. Sure she's still stubborn, but she doesn't look so stiff. It's nice, but also dangerous, if whatever this is that's inside of her is the cause for her stubborn outbursts, it's proof it's powerful. She walks silently beside me, and I can tell she isn't lying, whatever that was, she didn't expect it. Maybe us shouting at her to do something made her snap? She would likely have got so frustrated and annoyed it just happened. Normally, a wolf takes over, and they lose control, but wolves don't handle magic, so that's not right. The magic is her, all her. It's going to be harder going forward now, I hope she realises that. Once you unlock that magic, and use it for the first time, there's no hiding it again. She can't use it during trials, it would result in Alpha's and such demanding she's executed for her actions. She should have been after today.

  • Omega's Reckoning The Trials   Their Help

    VEYRA The silence sits between us like blood in water, staining the air. Maddox walks out again. Typical.Dagen simply continues watching me steadily, his arms are crossed, jaw locked. Vane shifts his weight near the wall, a single brow raised. Rael’s gaze is more difficult to read, but it’s focused, intense. Not cold. Just… unsettled. I don't like this. I know they think I knew, that I had done this before. I hadn't.“I never meant to do it,” I say at last. “Whatever that was—whatever came out of me—I didn’t know it was there. I didn’t even know I was capable of it.” I look at them. "I swear, I had no idea that would happen."“We know,” Rael says softly. “That’s why we haven’t ripped your throat out.” His words are cold, and my head drops. I get it, magic like mine isn't good. Vane lets out a dry breath, half a scoff. “Yet.”“Don’t joke,” Dagen snaps at him, then turns back to me. “You’re telling the truth?”“I am.” I have no reason to lie, I hate them, I would have used my magic

  • Omega's Reckoning The Trials   Unsure

    VEYRA POVI fell down, actually, exhaustion dragged me down. My knees press hard against the marble, blood smeared beneath them in long, drying streaks. My hands won’t stop shaking. Not from pain. The wounds on my arm and thigh are throbbing, yes—but that’s not it. It’s something deeper, something coiled in my chest like a second heartbeat that refuses to settle.I try to ease the feeling but it's impossible right now. Dagen asked what I did, like I know. I was so frustrated with them telling me to fight back, I snapped. The entire room is silent, but my ears still ring. I can still hear and feel the echo of my own scream, the moment it tore from my throat. It was something instinctive, but what I don't know. The wolf, the Omega who challenged me is currently lied in a mangled heap. Her body is twisted in ways that shouldn't be possible. Her fur is stained dark where bones collapsed and pierced through the fur. I did that, how did I do that?I didn’t touch her. I didn’t shift. And s

  • Omega's Reckoning The Trials   Magic

    Dagen POVI smirk between them, and move back. "The floor is yours, fight for our amusement."The Omega shifts her weight, then casts a quick glance downward at the polished marble beneath her feet.“This floor is marble. It’s slippery. Fighting here doesn’t seem safe.” Is she for real? Safe? One of them is dying. How is that safe? Is she hoping we call time before the final hit? She's wrong. I don’t bother to hide my irritation. I tilt my head and let the edge of a smile creep into my voice.“You’re afraid of a little polish?” I ask. “Is that really the excuse you’re reaching for, after you stood in front of all of us and said you wanted to fight her? Neither of you are safe, one is dying regardless of the floor.”She opens her mouth like she wants to argue, but nothing comes out. She hadn’t expected me to say yes to her fighting Veyra right now. She expected resistance. Control. Maybe even protection.Instead, she got an audience and an invitation.I step back and gesture to the op

  • Omega's Reckoning The Trials   Rules

    Dagen POVIn my defence, the Omega was about to kill Veyra, and we do have rules. Ones that explicitly state that no Omega is allowed to hurt another unless it's during a trial or ordered. It's our job. They should know that by now. I stand and shift back, and stand facing them. Not caring that I'm naked, or that my body is covered in the Omega's blood. "The rules clearly stated you do not fight among yourselves outside of trials and without your approval." I look between them. "Anyone doing that, regardless of who their target is, will die." There are whispers, like they think it's a lie, but it isn't. "The fact we claimed her makes no difference," Rael snaps. "The trial will go on, she will still take part, and she won't have any extra benefits." One of the Omegas looks at us. "So we can kill her during trials? You won't stop us?" Her glare is hard, and I fight back the growl. "You can do as you wish during the trials." Vane stands up and looks at them. "If you think you can k

  • Omega's Reckoning The Trials   Not Willing

    LYRA POVI walk away from Maddox and smile.The night air is cool, but it does nothing to douse the warmth that flares through my chest. Satisfaction. Anticipation. Victory. It’s about time Veyra was destroyed, and this time, I’ll be the one to make sure it happens. I won't fail where they did; I will make sure she disappears from this trial and the rogues destroy her.Let them believe she's untouchable now. Let them think the ritual will bind her tighter to the Alphas, that she’ll rise from the ashes of her own ruin stronger than before.I know better.Because they don’t see what I do.Veyra doesn’t belong here. She never did. She was supposed to be exiled, forgotten, and hated. Actually, she should never have been born. That is what made me hate her. I was meant to marry her brother, the one she replaced. Firstborns are always boys until Veyra.No matter how many times she falls, someone always catches her. Dagen. Rael. Vane. Maddox. Even the fucking rogue tried to keep her alive.

  • Omega's Reckoning The Trials   A Plan

    Maddox POVLyra steps closer, her voice quiet. “It’ll make her stronger. Not weaker. That’s the truth you’re not admitting to yourself. Each of them who mates with her under the Silvermoon, shares their strength, makes her more powerful. Four Alphas? Yeah, she's going to be unstoppable.You let her get this far, and now you’re watching her root herself into all four of you.”“She’s not rooted,” I snap. Although there's truth there. Silvermoon for mates who are claimed is a time when they become stronger. It will make Veyra unstoppable. “She will be. After tomorrow night. Her wolf will choose one of you, maybe all of you. And once that happens, she’ll be untouchable.”I stiffen. Seeing my reaction, she smiles, something cruel and thoughtful. God, I hate how right she is.“You’ve tried waiting for her to die. But every time she’s supposed to, someone saves her. You can’t rely on failure anymore. If you want her gone… you need to act.”My jaw tenses. Does she forget who she's talking to?

  • Omega's Reckoning The Trials   Her Taunting

    Maddox POVLyra steps closer, as if my turning my back to her meant nothing at all.Her voice is calm when she speaks.“You all failed.”I go still.She says it without venom. No smug smile. No sharp edge in her voice. Just a statement, soft and direct, like she’s pointing out the weather.“You failed to make sure she died in the first trial.”I turn fully this time, slow and deliberate. My glare is enough to silence most people. But Lyra was never most people. She just lifts her chin a little, like she’s waiting for me to catch up. I was wrong, she's also a fool, and that foolishness she has... It's about to lead her to her death. Will Dagen even care if I kill his sister?“You didn’t even try to hide it,” she says. “Storming out like that. Letting them all see how much it got to you.”My jaw tightens and my wolf surges. The bond itches in the base of my skull like a brand I can’t scrub clean. She’s poking at it, at me, and for a second, I almost admire how casually she does it.But
