Lilieth

We're meant to have an 'outdoor lunch', much to my dismay.

I thought I'd be able to get away but Cadence is practically forcing me to remain outside, surrounded by all these people who make me angry and uncomfortable. Only a few of the spectators were actually related to the contestants—Petra's father was present, and so was Rivonia's mother.

Everyone else? They're strangers, and I have no idea what they're doing here, but it seems important.

Cadence seems to know everyone pretty well,

  • The Chosen Omega   094: The Protector

    LiliethWhenever I found myself in close proximity to this man, I grew uncomfortable, and the same feeling is coursing through me now.Discomfort. Anger. Resentment.I saw him as an enemy before. Someone to despise and blame for the injustice. Now, I'm supposed to view him as my father.How? How can such a change happen?How can he be my father?Clearing his throat, he looks around the room and says, "If it's not asking for too much, could I have a word with Lilieth? Alone?"Deo and Corey are the first to leave, followed by Anice. My mother squeezes my shoulder and then stops when she reaches his side. They clasp hands before he presses his forehead against hers, and I look away sharply or my mind will splinter into a thousand irretrievable pieces.The door closes behind her, and the two of us are alone.A sigh escapes his lips. "Lilieth. I've imagined this moment a million times before, but now that I'm standing here, everything I planned on saying just jumped out the window."I refu

  • The Chosen Omega   093: Family Ties

    LiliethI stare at my mother, utterly speechless. I have no idea what I could say to something like this.Maybe they're expecting me to say something, but I don't know what I could reply to all of this.My mother is the one to break the silence. "Alpha Draven? He's half-Emberborn. Did you notice how his wolf was smaller and his fur tinged with red?" I did, but didn't make much of it. "Leadership was never about size. The Alpha-borns made it that way."Alpha Draven. An Omega. This sounds almost impossible to believe. "I'd that why he's on our side?""He believes in what's right."This explains why everyone believes he's so trustworthy."You never told us," I mention. "We went our whole lives without knowing.""It was easier that way. At least, that's what I thought," she claims. "I found it better to raise you all with the idea that you were just normal. When Corey found out..."She trails off. I look at my brother pointedly, shocked. "You knew?"He nods, looking ashamed of himself. "Y

  • The Chosen Omega   092: Revelations

    LiliethI open my eyes and wonder where I am for a few seconds before remembering.Turning on my side elicits a groan of pain from me. My entire body is aching—my muscles are sore, and my body feels heavy.The room is light. By the goddess, when was the last time I woke up with the sun streaming through the windows? Noctem Lunae was depressing in more ways than just one.I sit up and look around the room. I see a pile of clothes right on the foot of the bed with a piece of paper on top. Someone came into my room while I was sleeping and I didn't hear a thing.I rise, ignoring the aches, and reach for the piece of paper. It's a note telling me to get dressed and meet everyone in the library.The past script simply says ask around.Deo. I can tell by the handwriting. I shower in the en suite bathroom, washing away the old sweat and hair from my body. The shower makes me feel a hundred times better and I wish it could be longer, but I'm eager to find out exactly what's happening.I dress

  • The Chosen Omega   091: Fairytale Luxury

    Lilieth"Mom," I say as soon as I'm close to her. "What's going on? Did you—"She clamps her hand down on my arm. "We'll talk about this later. Now isn't the place. People are watching us and a single word could condemn us.""But Cadence isn't who she said she was.""Trust me," she insists, squeezing my arm. Her eyes are wide and pleading. "Please. Do this for me."I search her eyes, wondering if I should say something regardless. Every instinct in my body tells me to get the words out before it's too late, but I don't have a chance to even think about things because Alpha Draven approaches us."We're ready to go," he says casually, looking around at everyone before his eyes settle on me. "We'll travel in a pack—I have my bodyguards with me, and they'll keep us safe in case danger arises.""We'll have to shift.""It's the only way to get there quickly," he explains. "And even in wolf form, it'll take us nearly a full day to get there."I look back at my mother. She nods at me encourag

  • The Chosen Omega   090: An Irresistible Offer

    LiliethNo such thing happens.I don't get attacked or ambushed, even though I was expecting to.I capture one of the Gammas and take him back to the field. He doesn't fight me once he's caught—I guess it's all part of the test. That doesn't mean I feel calmer about this whole thing, though.Cadence still lied to me.Something is going on that I don't know about.This whole situation overshadowed my good day. I was supposed to be happy that this came to an end but instead, I'm worried about my safety. My life.I manage to return to the field with the Gamma. The crowd screams so suddenly that my heart skips a beat, and they start to chant my name much like they did last time.I'm the first one back.Cadence rushes to my side. She's the only one. The sight of her makes my stomach churn. I cut the ropes off the Gamma's wrists and he walks away."Lilieth, you've done it!" she exclaims. Pressing her hands together, she tilts her head to the side and smiles at me. It's a broad smile. As ope

  • The Chosen Omega   089: Blow

    LiliethI wake up hours before sunrise to pack my things and have some time to reflect before the final test of the quarter.I look around the small bedroom and realize that I won't miss it even though I've spent most of my time here for the past six months. Though it was a space of my own and back home, I'll have to share a room with Anice like I always did, I'd much rather be away from this place and never return.I take a deep breath after opening the window. The air is crisp and invigorating. We're meant to meet downstairs in twenty minutes and these days, I don't make a point of arriving earlier than usual, but this morning, I will.It's my last day, after all.I'm eager to start it, because the quicker that happens, the faster it'll all end.I head downstairs. At this time of the morning, the administration building is always empty. I step outside and head straight to the field where the event will be held. I'm walking past the dormitory when I hear voices that make me halt.Eve

    LiliethI can barely stand the pain when I sink into the wooden chair of the massive dining hall with my plate of breakfast held between both hands.My whole body is in pain. My nerves kept my muscles tight and my body alert and the fight left bruises all over my body. I inspected them as I bathed

    LiliethI'm less enthusiastic about the whole thing now that I know what it's all about.Within the first hour of training, it becomes painfully clear to me that I'm the weakest fighter here. I guessed at it yesterday but now, I'm absolutely certain.Instructor Wylde is a cruel, heartless bastard,

    LiliethAll three pairs of eyes in the room land on me."No," I repeat. "I'm not going home. I'll fight first.""Are you crazy?" Timmon counters. A pause poses like he's expecting me to answer that question. I don't because I suspect everyone in this room knows the answer to that by now. "How can y
