Helen's POV

I stood by the window of the Alpha’s chamber, watching the wind ripple through the trees, my reflection faint in the glass. It wasn’t vanity that kept me there, it was certainty.

Tonight was the beginning of something new. Something I had waited for, fought for. And finally, everything was falling into place.

Clarissa was gone. Out of the way.

And Drey? He was almost mine again. The mark would seal it. And once I had that, no illusion would be needed. No more whispers in dreams, no more silent doubts blooming inside him. He would belong to me in every sense that mattered—mind, body, and rank.

I turned as the door creaked open. My hand instinctively smoothed the fabric of my dress, deep burgundy and regal against my skin. Drey stepped inside. He looked tired. Haunted. The weight of leadership had finally begun to buckle his shoulders. He hadn’t shaved in days. Shadows clung to his cheekbones. He hadn’t even noticed I’d worn his favorite color.

I gave him a small smile. “Yo

  • The Omega Queen   Chapter 28

    Tessy's POV The silence in the Alpha’s office was the kind that made your skin crawl. It was heavy and suffocating. It wrapped around me like smoke, the kind that hinted at something burning far beneath the surface. I stood near the door, watching my brother, Alpha Drey, stare out the wide glass window overlooking the eastern training grounds. His shoulders were square, his arms crossed behind his back. He hadn’t spoken since I walked in.But I hadn’t come for small talk.“I know what you’re planning to do,” I said finally.He didn’t turn. “Then you know it’s necessary.”My stomach twisted. I crossed the room slowly, placing my hands on the edge of his desk. “You’re going to mark Helen publicly?”He nodded once.I tried to steady my voice. “And you think that’s the only way to get Clarissa back?”He finally turned then, his eyes darker than I remembered. They were not angry but distant, like someone else was looking out through them.“This isn’t a negotiation, Tessy. You know the ter

  • The Omega Queen   Chapter 26

    DREY'S POVThe council chamber was too quiet. The kind of quiet that crept into your bones and made everything feel wrong. As Alpha, I was used to silence born out of respect but this... this was tension. Resentment. Doubt.My fingers curled into fists on the table. I could feel the weight of every stare in the room. The elders sat rigidly, their expressions tight. Warriors lined the walls, arms crossed, eyes lowered or narrowed. Even the omegas who served water barely made a sound.Clarissa was gone.And the pack was splintering.Torn.They didn’t say it out loud, not all of them. But I could feel it.They blamed Helen.And by extension, they blamed me."Alpha Drey," Elder Caelum began, his voice gruff but even. "It has been two full days since Clarissa went missing, and no formal investigation has been launched."I clenched my jaw. "That’s not true. We have trackers combing the forest. Patrols were doubled along the borders.""But none sent to Helen’s quarters," another elder said,

  • The Omega Queen   Chapter 25

    Clarissa’s POV The forest was unusually quiet that evening.I had just completed a routine scouting assignment along the eastern ridge of the territory. The breeze was cool and steady, rustling the canopy above as the sun dipped lower in the sky, painting everything in hues of gold and rose. Tessy had offered to come with me earlier that day, but I declined. It was a simple task, or so I thought.The silence should have warned me. No birds. No scurrying animals. Just the crunch of my boots on dried leaves and the beating of my heart in my ears.I walked the narrow path leading back to the pack house, humming a soft tune to keep the strange chill off my back. My wolf, Tiara, was quiet but alert. She had been more vigilant since our meeting with the Seer. Her warnings haunted me still. Trust your instincts. Be wary of illusions.Suddenly, the wind shifted. I stopped. My fingers brushed the hilt of the dagger strapped to my thigh. There, I perceived a scent. It was rotten and metallic.

  • The Omega Queen   Chapter 24

    Clarissa's POVMy heart was heavy. Drey had grown so distant it was like I’d become invisible. His smiles were rare now, fleeting at best. When we crossed paths, his eyes, once kind and grounding, slid past me like I was a stranger.He wasn’t just avoiding me anymore. He looked at me like he didn’t trust me.And that broke something inside me.I couldn’t pretend everything was fine. Not with Tessy asking questions I had no answers to. Not with the way the rest of the pack had begun to watch me like I’d done something wrong. Whispers followed me now; short, sharp little things that fluttered just outside my hearing.Even after all I had done for the pack, after standing my ground during the rogue attack, I was once again being looked at like I didn’t belong.But what hurt the most was Drey.I sat in my room, the same blanket Tessy had wrapped around me after my first shift clutched in my hands. I brought it to my nose, breathing in faint traces of pine, ash, and something warm I couldn

  • The Omega Queen   Chapter 23

    Helen's POV Each illusion fed the seed of distrust. Each night, his rest became more disturbed. He would wake up confused, tense, jaw clenched as though he'd wrestled with a demon in his dreams. And every morning, he looked at her with growing uncertainty.Now, the space between them widened.And I slipped into that space.The morning sun filtered through the large windows of the war room as Drey stood beside the map table. His fingers traced the borderlines of Silverclaw territory, though I doubted he was truly looking."You haven't slept again," I said gently, stepping into the room.He glanced up, startled. Then he sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. "Just restless. Too much on my mind."I tilted my head, watching him. His usual sharpness had dulled, his energy more volatile."Nightmares still?" I asked.He hesitated.Good.Then he nodded. "Yeah. The same ones. Wolves turning on me. Blood. Betrayal."I stepped closer. "And her?"He didn’t answer immediately, which said more th
