6. The Face Behind the Rebellion
Last Updated:
2025-04-20 23:41:02The sound of boots echoed through the ruined throne room like drums of doom. Ragnar’s fury was palpable, like a wild storm ready to devour everything in its path.
“You were a hundred alphas,” Ragnar seethed, circling Nate and the rest of the wounded soldiers like a lion among broken prey. “My finest. Chosen. Trained. Raised under my roof. You were supposed to be unstoppable.”
Not a soul dared to respond. Bloodied warriors knelt with shame in their eyes, heads bowed. Ragnar stopped in front of a soldier missing an arm, his face bandaged and stained with dried blood.
“And yet you come back like dogs chased off by rabbits,” Ragnar spat. “Three of you are dead. Eight more won’t hold a sword again. And not a single omega in chains?”
His voice roared across the hall like thunder.
“An omega organization did this to you?” He laughed coldly, a mirthless sound. “What’s next? You’ll tell me a pup made you piss your armor?”
One man twitched at the insult. Ragnar noticed, and that was enough.
He grabbed the soldier by the neck and slammed him against the pillar with a bone-rattling crash. The man choked, his feet dangling off the ground.
“You shame me. You shame this kingdom.”
“Your Highness—” Nate attempted, stepping forward, but Ragnar raised a hand. That was enough to silence him.
He threw the soldier down like discarded trash, then straightened his shoulders.
“I’ll go myself.”
The air went still.
“My Lord…” Nate spoke hesitantly, “That camp is protected. Whoever trained those omegas... It’s not normal. There’s something ancient in them. Dark.”
“Do I look like a man who cares?” Ragnar growled. “They scarred me. Betrayed my rule. Mocked my strength.” His hand unconsciously brushed the silver-burned wound on his bicep, and his scared eye twitched. The pain still sang under his skin, a slow poison to his pride.
“They want war?” he whispered. “I’ll give them extinction.”
The Eastern woods were quiet, the moon a pale witness to what was to come. Mist curled between the trees like serpents slithering over forgotten graves.
Ragnar walked through them like a god of wrath, cloaked in black armor, his golden eyes burning through the darkness. He didn’t bring an army. He didn’t need one.
When he reached the heart of the forest, the scent of wolves hit him, strong, wild, and untainted. This was no mere camp. It was a sanctuary. A rebellion’s cradle.
Two figures emerged from the shadows, low-ranking guards, their postures immediately defensive.
“We don’t welcome outsiders—”
“Bring me your leader,” Ragnar said, voice low, deadly. “Now. Before I burn this whole forest down with you in it.”
One of them flinched. The other shifted uneasily but didn’t move.
"And who do you think you are?" One of them commanded, the one who was a beta, as he was unable to notice his dominant alpha aura.
The omega boy shivered in fear. "He's a dominant Alpha," He said, trembling.
"I'm the king! Bring your leader to me before I loose my patience and snapyour necks," Ragnar growled as both the guards paled in horror.
“I said… now.”
The trees groaned in the wind. Tension thickened.
The omega boy scrambled inside frantically as the beta held the sword up, ready to attack any second if the King tried to pounce on him.
More guards rushed out holding their swords in the air as they took their defensive positions. Most of them were omega boys and few were betas male and female both.
Then…
There was a shuffle behind the guards. A figure stepped out from the thick curtain of shadows and smoke.
She walked slowly.
A woman.
She was wrapped in bandages, one over her cheek, another over her arm, and her left foot limped. Her face was partially hidden, but those eyes… those calm, striking green eyes.
Ragnar’s heart skipped a beat, not from fear—Ragnar never feared—but from something far more dangerous.
Recognition.
Her hair was silver-ash, they were long reaching just below her hips. He could never forget those hair. Her posture was proud, unafraid. She stood tall as if she didn’t feel pain or shame. She was the Omega from the past. The little fierce girl who left a scar on his eyebrow and cheek.
“You wanted the leader?” she said, her voice low and cool.
Ragnar stared, eyes narrowing. He has heard this voice before.
His voice dropped to a whisper. “You…”
The bandages over her cheek shifted slightly as her lips curved into a faint smile.
“Surprised to see me again?” she said, cocking her head.
His fists clenched.
F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!
This girl. Those same fierce green eyes.
“You’re dead.”
“Seems I have a habit of disappointing you,” she replied. “But I’m not just alive, Ragnar. I’m thriving. And you? You’re bleeding.”
He took a slow step forward, fury like fire in his veins.
“You were a f*cking omega. A child. And now—now you lead this?” There was pure shock in his lethal gaze. His deep voice thundered.
Her eyes glinted. “Yes, my Lord,” she purred.
A sudden wind blew through the trees, tossing her hair back. The scent hit him like a punch to the gut.
She was the same girl. The omega who scarred him twelve years ago. He was sure of it by her eyes and hair.
But also…
He stepped closer. “The beta…” he whispered. “The one from the ball…”
His breath caught.
“You were both?”
The woman’s smile widened, cruel and beautiful. “Congratulations. You finally figured it out.”
Ragnar was silent for a long moment, gaze burning into her like twin suns. The beta she-wolf who tried to kill him at the ball. She was the Omega girl. She must've masked her scent with the herbs just like right now, and she must've hidden her real hair color so he wouldn't recognize her from the past.
Then he laughed.
But it wasn’t humor. It was madness. A sound that made the wind halt.
“You played me,” he said darkly. “Twice.”
“I survived you,” she corrected. “Twice.”
F*ckin' sharp little vixen.
His jaw twitched. “You scarred me.”
“You deserved it.”
He stepped closer, his intimidating frame dwarfing her, but she kept her shoulders squared, glaring up at him in the cold night air. “You think I won’t kill you for what you did?”
She didn’t flinch. “Try.”
“Don't be so overconfident.” He warned.
“Leave, King,” she whispered.
A dangerous silence fell.
Then Ragnar leaned in, his voice a low, thunderous growl.
“You think you can make me leave.”
She smiled again and nodded.
“No, you don’t.” He smirked.
Behind her, dozens of shadows appeared, warriors, omegas, ready, watching.
Ragnar’s eyes didn’t leave hers.
And that wasn't it as fully armoured soldiers appeared from behind him and they weren't a hundred this time. It felt like he brought a whole army to attack them.
Freya glared up at him. Her eyes darkened. And Ragnar smirked in absolute delight.
The girl from the past.
The Omega, he wasn't letting go anytime soon.
"Who will save you from me now, little Omega?" He grinned sinisterly.

The Alpha King's Omega 95. After The Ball
The ball ended not with music, but with a silence so sharp it cut like a blade.The last chords had died beneath the vaulted ceiling hours ago, yet tension lingered, clinging to the stone walls like smoke after a fire. Every step Freya had taken through that hall had been shadowed by whispers, thin and venomous, curling in the corners where wolves gathered in knots of silk and steel. Only Ragnar’s presence, his looming, unbending aura, had kept the hungriest predators at bay.Now the alphas were gone, their laughter brittle as glass, their polished smiles thin masks stretched over teeth. As the great doors slammed shut and the echoes faded, the castle itself seemed to exhale. Chandeliers still dripped with wax, goblets lay overturned on marble steps, and servants moved like hushed ghosts as they wiped wine the color of blood from the floor.But peace did not come.“Ragnar.”The voice struck like an arrow.Sharp. Cold. Commanding.At the edge of the dais stood his mother. Midnight silk
The Alpha King's Omega 94. Wolves In Silk
The chandeliers burned brighter than stars, their crystal arms dripping with candlelight that fractured into a thousand shards across the polished marble floors. Every spark of light danced like fire caught in glass, dazzling, blinding. Music swelled from the far end of the grand hall, violins and harps entwining in a melody spun with elegance, though beneath its sweetness pulsed an undercurrent sharp as a blade.The royal ball had begun.Freya entered at Ragnar’s side, her every step echoing like a declaration carved into stone. The gown clinging to her was not cloth but night itself, shadows stitched with silver embroidery that shimmered each time she moved. The air shifted around her, thick with attention. She had never felt so seen, and yet so dissected, as though each gaze sought to unravel her flame and measure its worth.The sea of dominant alphas turned toward her. Some watched with reverence, awe softening their predatory stares. Others cloaked suspicion in smiles, while more
The Alpha King's Omega 93. Shadows Of Betrayal
The moon hung pale and thin above the castle, its light spilling like milk through the carved arches of the royal balcony. Freya stood alone in its glow, the night pressing against her like a second skin. Her silver hair shimmered as though spun from the moon itself, strands shifting with the wind that carried whispers from the forest below.But the silence of the castle was a lie. She could feel the weight of it, the listening walls, the watching shadows. Whispers threaded through the stone like smoke, voices too soft to catch yet too persistent to ignore. They always circled back to her flame. To her curse. To the prophecy that haunted her every breath.Her chest ached with the phantom sting of an old wound, a cut not made of flesh but of fate. The words that had chased her since childhood echoed in her bones: Betrayal will come not from your enemies, but from the one you trust most.She turned the thought over and over in her mind like a blade in her palm, sharp enough to draw bloo
The Alpha King's Omega 92. Shadows Of Doubt
The journey down from the mountain was heavy, not with silence but with weight. Each step Ragnar’s horse carried them closer to the castle, the air thickened with questions that clung like smoke. Freya sat pressed against him in the saddle, her body still bruised, her flame restless beneath her skin, humming like a caged storm. Every breath she took made the air shimmer faintly, heat leaking from her veins into the world around her.When the gates of the castle loomed, their iron teeth stretched wide, the guards stiffened as if the air itself pressed against their lungs. They bowed to Ragnar, but their eyes slid warily to Freya, lingering too long, too sharp, as though watching not a girl but a weapon.She felt it. The mistrust. The fear. The way whispers followed her steps like shadows.Inside the great hall, the throne room’s fire pits flickered low, casting long waves of flame across the cold stone. It should have felt familiar, but it didn’t. To Freya, it was a cage made of memory
The Alpha King's Omega 91. The Weight of Vengeance
Kyla’s cottage smelled of smoke and dried herbs, a herb-scented sanctuary hewn out of the mountain’s ribcage. Bunches of roots and bundles of sage swung from low rafters, catching the weak light and throwing crooked shadows across the stone. The hearth breathed a thin, steady glow, its embers a white-gold, as if the room itself tried to warm something that had burned raw.Ragnar carried Freya across the threshold like a relic: careful, reverent, hands iron but gentle. Ash dusted her hair; a crimson smear stained the corner of her mouth. Up close, she was too warm, an inner heat humming under her skin that no poultice could wholly quell. She smelled of smoke and iron and something softer beneath it, a faint memory of rain against hot stone.Kyla moved with the slow certainty of someone who had mended worse wounds. Her fingers were steady as she laid warm poultices of crushed shadow-herbs against Freya’s scorched skin. Nyra worked the edges of the fever with quiet incantations, her brea
The Alpha King's Omega 90. After The Fire
The silence after Skyrana’s death was suffocating.Not the silence of peace, but the silence of a mountain that had just borne witness to a god’s unraveling. The Chamber of Echoes, once thrumming with whispers of the dead, lay hollow. No voices. No curses. Only the thunder of Freya’s heartbeat in her ears, louder than the settling of stone and the hiss of molten veins running through fractured rock.Her fingers still clutched the Sword of Flame. It pulsed faintly, its fire no longer scorching, no longer something she borrowed, it was hers. It hummed in time with her blood, as natural and inevitable as breath. Less a weapon now, more an extension of herself.The silence pressed closer. Heavy. Watchful.“Freya!”Ragnar’s voice tore through it.She turned, sluggish, just as he came into view, racing down the fractured stone steps, his figure a blur of silver and shadow. Dust streaked his dark hair, blood traced a sharp line from his temple, and yet he didn’t falter. He didn’t slow. Not f
