Chapter Twenty Four: The Shadow Alpha

last update Last Updated: 2025-08-10 22:56:15

Dante’s POV

The Crimson pack’s compound was really quiet tonight. The usual hum of activity that marked the waking and active pack hours had given way to a calm disturbed only by the occasional rustle of leaves by the wind or the distant cry of a night bird.

I leaned against the worn wooden railing of the training yard balcony, watching as the moonlight spilled silver over the dark earth. It was late, but for some reason, my mind was restless.

My gaze drifted to the edge of the clearing …the place where shadows gathered thicker and the trees stood as silent sentinels.

And there… just beyond the reach of the torchlight, I caught sight of him.

Tion.

Always just beyond the reach of the light. Always watching.

The alpha’s presence was like a low, steady pulse in the pack’s rhythm…mostly felt more than seen. A feral figure carved out of darkness and sharp edges. Some called him merciless, others called him savage. But I knew better.

He was a leader forged from the deepest kinds of pain and

    Tanya’s POVThe forest at night could be two things … a friend or an enemy.Tonight, I wasn’t sure which one it wanted to be.Tion stood a few paces away, his presence filling the air in ways I didn’t understand. The shadows didn’t just cling to him, they literally seemed to obey him. I’d seen him before, of course. Passing through training grounds, silent in meetings, moving through the pack house like the walls shifted for him.But I’d never had him here.Just… here.His words still echoed in my head.“Maybe not yet, but I will.”Nobody had ever made an effort towards knowing me…not to talk of promising me something like that. Not my father. Not my mate. Not my pack.The wind stirred, carrying the faintest scent of pine and damp earth.“What exactly did Dante tell you?” I asked, not only because I didn’t know, but because I wanted to hear how Tion interpreted my experience.“That you were never given the place you deserved,” he said, his voice low but certain. “That you were treated

  • Tamed by the Omega    Chapter Twenty Eight: Seen

    Tanya’s POV The forest, especially at night, had a way of quieting the troubled thoughts in my mind. Not erasing them… that wasn't possible, but somehow softening them until they were less like sharp blades that stabbed me over and over and more like worn stones I could turn over in my hand without bleeding. Tonight, the air was cold enough to bite, the wind threading through the tree branches like a low, steady hum. I sat on the fallen log near the eastern ridge, my hands resting loosely on my laps, and just letting the moonlight soak into me. Training had been brutal today… not just physically, but in the way it dug up memories I thought I buried deep. Dante had been patient, too patient in fact, and that was what made it worse. Patience meant he clearly saw all the cracks I tried so hard to hide. I closed my eyes and tried not to think about Moon Stone. About the stares and the whispers. The exact moment the world had tilted and the word latent had been carved into my skin lik

  • Tamed by the Omega    Chapter Twenty Seven: The Burden I'll Carry

    Tion's POV The night air hit me like a cold blade when I finally stepped out of the war room. The moon hung low in the sky, fat and silver, casting a pale light over the compound. The world was quiet, but the quiet wasn’t still… it was alive with the sounds of night. I moved through the forest with the ease of someone who had hunted both prey and men. Each sound was catalogued in my mind… the rustle of a squirrel in the underbrush, the distant hoot of an owl and even the whisper of wind through the tree branches. I followed her scent. Subtle but distinct, threaded with the clean smell of pine and the faintest trace of wildflowers. My wolf caught it instantly, urging me forward. She was near the eastern ridge, just as Dante had told me and by the time I got there, the world had narrowed to just her. The ground sloped gently upward, with the trees thinning until they gave way to a view of the forest stretching dark and endless below. She sat on a fallen log, her shoulders drawn

  • Tamed by the Omega    Chapter Twenty Six: The Burden of Truth (continued)

    Tion’s POVThe fire in the war room had burned very low, reduced to a heart of glowing embers. They pulsed in the dark like the heartbeat of some dying creature, breathing a faint warmth into the otherwise cold air. I’d been sitting there for hours all alone, and unmoving, not because I had nothing to do, but because the quiet was sometimes the only place I could really hear myself think.The scent of ash clung to me, settling deep in my clothes, mixing with the smell of the old maps spread everywhere and across the scarred old table. Territories, routes, pack lines and boundaries… every one of them marked by the blood that had been spilled to hold them.My mind was halfway to planning the next patrol shift when I heard the sound of footsteps that were purposeful but hesitant coming down the corridor towards me. I knew them instantly…they were Dante's.He didn’t knock. He knew better.“Tion,” he said, his voice pitched low.I didn’t look up at first. “You’ve got that tone again.”“Wha

    Dante’s POVA few nights after Tion and I stood in the shadows and I noticed him watching Tanya, I decided to make a move.Tion didn't like broken things as he was already broken himself…so I decided to force his attention away from her.By the time I was ready to head to his office, the night had folded itself around the Crimson pack’s stronghold like a heavy cloak. Outside, the world was quiet, save for the occasional rustling of leaves stirred by a chill wind. Within the stone walls, the air was thick with unspoken tensions, and the constant dance for more power.I found him there … Tion.The Alpha.The kind of leader who did not ask for loyalty… he took it, demanded it, carved it out with bare hands. A man who trusted very few, and those few trusted him with their lives.But even the strongest have their walls. And tonight, I was about to scale one of his.He sat alone in the war room, maps spread before him, a drink untouched at his side. His eyes that were fierce, guarded, always
