Clarissa's POV

Something was wrong.

Drey hadn’t looked at me in three days. Not really.

He still nodded when we passed each other in the training field. He still offered short, clipped comments during warrior briefings. He still asked about patrol routes and rogue sightings. But he didn’t look me in the eye. And he hadn’t smiled at me since the celebration night.

I replayed everything I could think of over and over in my head, trying to find the moment things changed. He was warm one day, distant the next. No warning, no explanation.

That morning, I watched him from the corner of the training yard. He stood tall in his Alpha stance, arms folded, issuing instructions to a group of young warriors. His voice was calm but stern. It lacked the warmth I had grown used to.

I remembered how he used to lean toward me when I spoke. How his eyes would soften. How he’d call me by name, not just “warrior.”

Now, it was as though I was just another body in the yard.

And it hurt more than I wanted

  • The Omega Queen   Chapter 99

    Helen's POV The night was quiet, too quiet for comfort. I sat in my room, staring at the soft glow of the lantern on my table. I couldn’t sleep. My mind wouldn’t let me. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Clarissa's face again. The blind girl who somehow returned stronger than before. The one everyone whispered about with awe, pity, or both.She was supposed to stay broken. That’s what people like her did. They fell and stayed down. But she hadn’t.And that… that made me hate her more than I wanted to admit.The council had welcomed her back like she was some savior. They spoke of her like she was an important personality, and how she carried something rare inside her. I didn’t care about any of that. All I saw was how easily the pack’s eyes turned from me to her. How they smiled at her, even though she couldn’t see them.I was part of the ruling council now. I had fought, schemed, and smiled my way to that seat. I had earned it. Yet, the moment she returned, it was as if my years

  • The Omega Queen   Chapter 98

    Clarissa's POV The hostility and animosity toward me from pack members had become painfully obvious. I remembered going to the kitchen one afternoon to get a cup of tea when a female pack member suddenly bumped into me. The cup slipped from my hands, shattered on the floor, and the hot liquid splashed across my feet. Instead of apologizing, she hissed and began hurling insults at me.I was called all sorts of unprintable names, yet I chose to walk away. Deep down, I knew it wasn’t her fault—or that of the others who treated me the same way. I knew whose hand was behind it all. Helen. She was poisoning their minds, planting seeds of hatred in their hearts.But the height of it all came one night after I had taken a warm shower. I was just getting ready to rest when someone knocked on the door. The messenger said Alpha Thompson had sent for me.I frowned, puzzled. “Did he say why?” Tessy asked, her tone sharp with concern.The messenger shook his head. “No, ma’am. I was only told to br

  • The Omega Queen   Chapter 97

    Derek’s POVI woke up drenched in sweat, my breath coming in shallow bursts. The room was silent, except for the faint rustle of the curtains swaying in the night breeze. My heart pounded like a drum inside my chest. I had just had another dream—one of those dreams.It had been happening for the past three nights, always around the same time. I would jolt awake, sweating, shaken, and unable to shake off the feeling that the dream meant something. But tonight’s dream… this one was different. It was clearer, sharper—too real to ignore.I rubbed my face with my palms, trying to steady myself. The events of my life had driven me into a place I could only describe as desperate. A man can carry many burdens, but even the strongest alpha has limits. I was Derek, Alpha of Crescent Moon Pack, leader to many—but I was empty inside.I should have had a mate by now. Every alpha is born to lead beside one—a Luna, a bond of heart and spirit. But mine was gone before it even began.It all started th

  • The Omega Queen   Chapter 96

    Clarissa's POV I began to notice it slowly, like the first chill of winter creeping beneath a door. At first, I thought it was my imagination; that perhaps my blindness had made me oversensitive to people’s tones, to the weight of silence, to the subtle things sighted ones often missed. But then the small changes began to pile up, and the air around me felt different, colder and heavier.The first time was in the pack kitchen. I had gone in with Jasmine padding quietly at my side, her steady breathing guiding me more than the faint scrape of her paws on stone. The scent of baked bread and roasted herbs filled the air, and I smiled, grateful for the normalcy of it. I reached for the counter where I always placed my hand to find my way toward the cupboards.“Good morning,” I said gently, tilting my head toward the warmth of voices I heard ahead.The chatter that had filled the room hushed. For a moment, no one replied. The silence pressed into me, heavy and unnatural. Then one voice, N

  • The Omega Queen   Chapter 95

    Clarissa's POV I had grown used to silence.For weeks now, silence had been my companion. It was thick, heavy, and often suffocating. Being blind made the silence even louder sometimes. I had learned to navigate my way through it, listening to every creak in the floorboards, every distant footstep, every shift of air around me. But that night, silence betrayed me.It was through silence that I first caught the whispers.I had been sitting on the edge of my bed, my hands folded over my lap, my head tilted slightly toward the window where the faint night breeze seeped in. My wolf stirred within me, uneasy and restless. I pressed my lips together, willing her to settle. But instead, a strange thread of sound tugged at me, not through my ears but deep inside my head.“…she doesn’t belong here…”The voice was sharp, bitter, and it startled me. My back stiffened. I blinked into the emptiness around me, listening harder.“…the council will see it soon. Blindness is weakness, not strength…”

  • The Omega Queen   Chapter 94

    Helen’s POVThe whispers about Clarissa’s return reached me sooner than I expected. News traveled fast within Riverside, especially now that I sat among the ruling council. My seat at the long oak table gave me more than a voice; it gave me access. Access to information, to decisions, and to secrets. And with secrets came power.I had fought hard for that chair. Harder than anyone could imagine. I had clawed my way back into the good graces of the council after the shame I suffered, after Clarissa’s presence had once thrown me into the shadows. People thought I had disappeared for good, but wolves like me didn’t vanish. We waited, we listened and we learned when to strike.When I first heard that Clarissa had returned, my blood boiled. Even though blind, she had managed to plant herself in the hearts of those who should have forgotten her. Blindness was supposed to weaken her and make her dependent. Yet instead, it made her some sort of symbol of strength, of resilience. I hated how t
