Elara’s POV

I’m awake before the sun.

Not because I slept well, far from it, but because my mind never really shut off. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Claude’s face, tight with frustration. I heard his warning again and again. ‘Stay out of sight, Elara.’

As if I wasn’t already trying. As if I hadn’t done everything possible to disappear last night.

Yet somehow… I became the center of it.

    Elara’s POV I’m awake before the sun. Not because I slept well, far from it, but because my mind never really shut off. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Claude’s face, tight with frustration. I heard his warning again and again. ‘Stay out of sight, Elara.’ As if I wasn’t already trying. As if I hadn’t done everything possible to disappear last night. Yet somehow… I became the center of it. I lie in bed staring at the wooden ceiling beams, listening to the steady hum of the dorm building waking around me. Soft footsteps. Doors opening. The murmur of girls whispering about last night, about the moon glow, about the triplets. About the heat. A shiver runs down my spine. Not from the temperature, our room is warm from the radiator, but from the memories of Tessa last night. Shaking. Burning. Barely able to stay still. Tessa had already been in the worst part of her cycle. I turn my head. Her bed is empty. I jolt upright. “Tessa?” “Relax,” her voice calls from the bathroom

  • The Omega At Lunacrest Academy    Chapter 7- The Girls Are In Heat 2.

    Elara’s POV. I haven’t stopped pacing. My footsteps keep dragging patterns into the rug, back and forth, back and forth, like if I stop moving, the weight in my chest will crush me. Claude’s voice still echoes in my skull, rough, angry, disappointed in that way only an older brother can manage. “Stay invisible, Elara.” “Promise me.” My stomach twists. I didn’t mean to pull half the attention of the combat field to myself. I wasn’t even trying to go. Tessa practically dragged me there. And then—gods help me—Cassian Veyron was there, and for one long, breathless second, he had looked at me like no one ever had. I should be thinking about Claude, not Cassian. Claude scolding me. Claude looking like he’d explode. Claude practically herding me off the field. Claude’s warning that kept replaying in my head. But all I can feel is the lingering heat behind Cassian’s stare, the way it sparked under my skin. I stop pacing and press both hands over my face. What is wrong

  • The Omega At Lunacrest Academy    Chapter 6- The Girls Are In Heat 1.

    Claude’s POV. The door barely clicks shut behind me before Anastasia’s hands are on me.It’s been less than ten minutes since we slipped into the hidden room near the library, the one students pretend they don’t know about, and she’s already kissing me like she’s been starved for days. Her lips trail down my jaw, her fingers locking in my shirt, pulling me closer, demanding.Normally, I’d respond instantly.Normally, I’d lift her onto the desk and make her forget her own name.But tonight…Tonight my blood is boiling for a different reason.“Claude,” she breathes against my neck, lips warm, needy. “You’re tense.”I don’t answer. I can’t. My mind is miles away, still back on the field, replaying the moment I wish I could erase.Elara.Standing there in that ridiculous scrap of a skirt.Looking small. Unprepared. Entirely too visible.And the damn Veyron triplets, especially Cassian, looking at her like she was something carved for their hands alone.I grind my teeth.Cassian’s gaze wa

  • The Omega At Lunacrest Academy    Chapter 5- Combat Night.

    Elara’s Pov. If peace had a personality, it would be the quiet hum of my phone screen.I scroll aimlessly, pretending to read, pretending I’m not replaying every second of the ball in my head.Cassian’s hand.His heartbeat.That look that felt like a secret I wasn’t meant to know.I shake the thought away and swipe to the next post on WolfNet, nothing but glittering selfies from other girls at Lunacrest. Perfect smiles, perfect marks, perfect wolves. My chest tightens.Then my door bursts open.“Elara! Tell me you’re not planning to spend the night hiding in here!”Tessa’s voice hits like sunlight. She’s my new roommate, curly red hair, loud laugh, more energy than five full moons combined.I blink at her. “I’m resting.” She stares at my pajamas like they’ve offended her. “Resting? On combat night?”“Combat night?” I echo.She drops her bag dramatically. “Don’t tell me you don’t know. The Alpha training trials? They’re tonight at the field. Only the strongest compete, but the whole

  • The Omega At Lunacrest Academy    Chapter 4- Curiosity Equals Punishment.

    Elara’s POV—Present day. My phone has been vibrating for the past ten minutes, buzzing against the nightstand like it’s personally offended. I already know who it is, because only one person calls this early, and only one person uses anger as a ringtone.When I finally answer, my brother doesn’t bother with hello.“You went to the ball.”I pinch the bridge of my nose. “Good morning to you too, Claude.” “Don’t ‘good morning’ me, Elara. You promised. You said you’d keep your head down, stay invisible…” “I did stay invisible,” I interrupt quickly, forcing a calm I don’t feel. “No one knows it was me.”There’s a pause. I can practically hear him grinding his teeth on the other end. “You think hiding behind a silver mask counts as invisible? Everyone’s talking about the girl who danced with Alpha Cassian Veyron.”“Exactly,” I say softly. “They’re talking about the girl in the mask. Not me.”Silence again. A heavy one this time.He sighs, that long, tired kind that makes guilt crawl up m

    Elara’s Pov- 35 hours earlier. If happiness had a sound, it would be the rustling of suitcases and the clatter of shoes on marble floors.“Careful with that one!” I call out as one of the maids lifts my third trunk, the one with my books and sketchpads. “That’s fragile!”“Yes, Miss Elara,” she says, breathless but smiling.My room looks like a storm of silk and sunlight, dresses everywhere, ribbons scattered, the scent of fresh lavender and excitement in the air. I haven’t felt this alive in years. Maybe ever.Lunacrest Academy.I whisper the name in my head like a spell.The place where legends are made. The academy for the strongest wolves of the realm. And somehow, me, Elara Vayne, the girl without a wolf, got in.“Mother!” I shout, practically running to the mirror to check my reflection. My curls fall in soft waves down my back, and for the first time in a long while, I don’t hate what I see.My mother appears in the doorway, radiant and composed, holding a folded cloak in her a
