FORTY FOUR
HUNTER’s POV
I throw my glass against the wall, shattering it into pieces. It splinters to the ground and I turn around with a growl, facing the woman before me. It is Freya and she is naked. On my bed. In my room.
She holds my blanket to her body and trembles as she cries.
“Hunter…” she calls out with mascara running down her eyes. “I surrendered myself to you, I gave you my all…you touched me, you marked me –"
“Get out,” I hiss, pointing towards the door. She shakes her head in defiance. My fingers curl into fists. It takes all my willpower not to storm towards her and wring my hands around her filthy neck. How dare she?
“GET OUT!!!!!” I bellow and this time, she drops the blanket like a hot coal and scrambles out of the room, stopping only to pick up her garments strewn all over the floor.
Fuck.
I head over to my side table and grab the bottle of Dr Olcan’s pills.
Drugged.
My eyes clench shut and I p

ELENA’s POVFather used to say that when change happens, you can feel it in the wind. It is as if the breeze itself carries a message along with it as it glides through the air and caresses your skin, whispering secrets into your ear. I used to laugh at that. I used to tease father about his overly imaginative mind. But now I know it to be true. Something has changed.Hunter has changed.I sense it the moment I set foot in the packhouse. The air is thicker, the place is quieter and Hunter, he does not meet my eyes.Helios doesn’t seem to notice it though, the man practically prances into the foyer and gives Hunter the biggest bear hug ever.“Alpha! The Witch gave us a gift! It’s a crystallized leaf that we can use to track Clyde down!” Helios chirps happily away oblivious to the fact that I am trying to catch Hunter’s eyes but failing miserably.Hunter gives Helios a curt nod and pat
Rise of the Omega FORTY SIX
ELENA’s POV I cannot face him. Even after five days, I am still unable to face him. It wasn’t his fault, I know that. I’d be a fool not to, but every time I see Hunter, all I can think about is how his body became one with Freya’s. All I can hear are her soft moans against his lips as their bodies became drenched in the heat of passion. And all I can feel is the pain that stemmed from my sister’s betrayal. Damn you, Freya. I went back to look for Freya five days ago, right after I found out about them. But mother was the only one who greeted me at the door. Freya never went home. Mother had sobbed incessantly, clinging onto my shoulders and begged for me to bring Freya back. “Elena,” she had whispered through her tears, “Rose has never been out in the wild by herself. She doesn’t even know how to fight like you. Please, find your sister, bring my baby back home.” “Mother.” I had begun shaking my head, my breathi
Rise of the Omega FORTY SEVEN
FREYA’s POV I stand at the foot of the hill that leads to Light Paw Village as the sun above me begins to set. The place no longer looks like it used to. The once clear path is now overrun by weeds and littered with garbage. There are even carcasses of little animals lying around. Bats, rats and even rabbits. Hmm…did the rogues come after we all left the village? Perhaps. I sigh and close my eyes, tilting my head up towards the sky. It should be raining. Though a sudden downpour might slicken my climb, surely, it would cut the stench. Yes, there is a stench. But it is not from the garbage and carcasses. My brows furrow and my eyes narrow as my gaze trails up the path up to my old village. Strange. Someone is up there. My breath quickens and I twist my head to look at the clearing from where I came from. Perhaps I should come back another day. At least until the stranger who now roams the village is gone. But I ne

FREYA’s POV Our bodies are covered in sweat as I lay on Clyde’s chest, listening to the sound of his beating heart. Trailing a finger down his chest, I ask, “What’s your plan?” At this, Clyde chuckles and pushes my head away. He gets up from the creaky wooden bed that once belonged to both Elena and I and starts to put on his shirt. “Kill Hunter, and conquer a whole new world.” My brows furrow, he is not making any sense. And as if he understands my confusion, he turns around and cups my chin, lifting my head slightly so my eyes meet his. He’s scaring me. “You see my missing eye?” I gulp and with a trembling breath, I stare into his empty eye socket. “Yes…” Clyde’s face contorts into a sickening smile. “It was a price I had to pay to find the gateway to the new world. The Sorceress demanded for it.” The Sorceress? The Sorceress from the Dark Forest? She is the sister of the infamous Witch who liv
Rise of the Omega FORTY NINE
HUNTER’s POV All is quiet in the car as Helios drives south on the coastal highway. Conner and a few others trail us from behind in another car. Clyde…if that son of a bitch dares to even touch a strand of Elena's hair, I swear I'll tear him into pieces. But deep down I know it will not be that easy to take him down. He did not become the Alpha of the Blood Stone pack for no reason. I have to admit, the man is a formidable enemy, even at his lowest, he has still managed to elude his capture. We slow down as we reach the winding road that will eventually lead us to the foot of Light Paw, but there’s been an accident. The road is jammed. I signal for Helios to pull to a stop and he does. He opens the car door and gets out of the car while I remain in the backseat, my fingers tapping at my phone. I’ve tried calling Elena more than ten times but each time, I can only get her voicemail. Damnit, should have installed

ELENA’s POVWhen I was eight, father brought me to the cinema. It was a war movie and there was this particular scene where a bomb exploded, blowing everyone into smithereens.But watching an explosion on screen is vastly different from the sight before me.I have just run past Ian and am but a few feet away from the entrance of Light Paw village when a sudden flash of light erupts, followed by the sudden slam of a shockwave. It sends both Ian and I tumbling backwards and I feel grit stinging my skin.I taste blood in my mouth; my lungs burn, and I realize that I’ve been knocked to the ground. Then there is total silence for a second or two before my ears start ringing.I look around, suddenly confused.A fireball rolls up into the night sky and I can feel its heat as I stare at the house before me. It is on fire.Someone starts screaming. I groan. Is that Ian? I stagger to my feet as bits of cloth a
Rise of the Omega FIFTY ONE
ELENA’s POV I am dressed in scrubs and brought into the operation theatre. Hunter lays in the middle of the room, and I hear the horrific beeping of the heart rate monitor. The beeping does not sound good. My eyes dart back and forth between the doctor who led me in and another few surgeons who are frantically trying to save Hunter. An old woman whom I had not noticed before steps out from the shadows. Instantly I know she is no ordinary woman. She is the pack’s witch doctor. She takes one look at me and flashes me a toothy grin. “So this is the omega who has come to save her Alpha.” I understand now. I understand why they need a female omega. They need someone without a social standing, someone whom the pack will not mourn if she were to bite the dust, someone who will not affect the power struggle in any pack. Someone like me. But I don’t mind. I would go to the ends of the world and back if I co
Rise of the Omega FIFTY TWO
ELENA’s POVI open my eyes to the soft rhythmic beeping of a heart monitor and am greeted by a magnificent dark blue skyline outside a rectangular window. It is breaking dawn.Slowly I turn my head away from the window and find myself in a private hospital room. The room is sparse but clean, and the lights had been switched off, with only blue and yellowish hues of the peeking sunlight illuminating the room. The place has a hint of a metallic tang from stainless steel in the open air and bleach wafting from the bed where I lay.I do not remember closing my eyes. Everything feels dull and hazy when I try to recollect my thoughts. I groan, think Elena, think!Then I remember, my last conscious memory was of Hunter laying next to me.Hunter!I sit up, pushing back a light grey blanket and attempt to jump off the bed only to feel a tug at my wrist.Oh.Looking down, I see a tiny IV tube poking out from
