Drey's POV

The moment Elder Thompson's voice rang out, issuing his challenge before the council, the entire hall plunged into a silence so thick it was almost suffocating. My heartbeat thundered in my ears, steady and heavy like war drums. I looked at him; the man who had hidden behind respectability and wisdom for years,and saw something raw and ancient in his eyes. What I saw was not just ambition but defiance and hatred.

Hatred for me, hatred for everything my father was, and hatred for everything I stood for now.

Clarissa.

His voice echoed again in my mind, that challenge seared into my thoughts like a brand: "You want the girl? Then fight me for her. Just like your father fought for his place."

There were gasps in the chamber. Whispers flared into murmurs, rising like sparks in dry grass. The elders exchanged long glances. Some seemed stunned, others alarmed. But none of them spoke up immediately.

And I... I just stood there; rooted, burning, and raging.

But I was not surprised

  • The Omega Queen   Chapter 54

    Clarissa's POV The battle wasn’t over yet.I could hear the howls,the screams, the clash of claws and bodies. The air was thick with dust and the sharp, bitter smell of blood. The earth beneath my feet shook as warriors fell, some crying out, others silent. I could taste the fear in the air.But I didn’t stop.I couldn’t.Each breath burned my throat, each step was a struggle, but I moved forward. Blind as I was, I could still feel the fight around me. I felt the energy, the movement, and the rage of every soul on this field. My wolf guided me. The instincts buried deep in my bones had taken over. Every heartbeat was a signal, every change in the wind told me where to turn.Then suddenly, something changed.There was a new scent.It was familiar and sharp. It was like cold steel and brought back old memories.And the moment I sensed him, I froze.Derek.His presence sliced through the chaos like a blade through silk.I stood there, my body rigid, my claws trembling at my sides. My he

  • The Omega Queen   Chapter 53

    Drey's POV Trouble!I could smell the tension in the air long before I saw anything. It was sharp, metallic, and heavy. It was a scent I knew all too well.War was approaching, and it was doing so at a very fast rate.The knock on my door was so frantic such that one couldn't ignore it.I opened it to find Owen, one of the younger scouts, breathless and wide-eyed. "They're coming. The Crescent Moon pack. They're moving fast and they'll be here before dawn."My chest tightened. We'd known this would happen, but not this soon. Not like this."How many?" I asked.He shook his head, eyes glassy. "Too many, they should be att least fifty warriors. Maybe more. They're armed."I nodded once, silently. My heart hammered in my chest, but I couldn’t let the fear show. Not now."Sound the alarm. Wake the guards. Get the warriors to the yard in five minutes."Owen ran off, and I turned to throw on my gear. My thoughts were racing, but one name rose above the noise: Clarissa.Was she even alive?

  • The Omega Queen   Chapter 52

    Tessy's POV The moment I stepped out of my room, I could feel the tension in the air. Everywhere seemed to be cold. Though the weather was cold but there was more than meets the eye. There was a weight, a kind of heaviness that had settled over the entire pack like a thick fog. People barely looked at each other anymore, and when they did, it was with suspicion or careful silence.Ever since Thompson took over, nothing had been the same.I pulled my coat tighter around me and headed to the kitchen to help Kayla with the morning prep. We always made extra tea now, not because the weather demanded it, but because nerves did. Warm mugs gave people something to hold, something to stop their hands from shaking.Kayla handed me a stack of mugs without a word, but her eyes said everything. She was worried just as we all were."Did you hear?" she finally said as we set the mugs on the table. "The patrol team from the eastern ridge didn't come back last night."I froze. "What?""Gone. No s

  • The Omega Queen   Chapter 51

    Drey's POV RiverSide pack has been strangely quiet. It wasn’t the peaceful kind that characterized our pack runs or linger after council meetings. No, this one was heavier. It was tense and it was as though the entire pack was holding its breath, waiting for something to either explode or fall apart completely.Two weeks had passed since Elder Thompson defeated me in combat and claimed the Alpha title.And everything had changed since then.I sat outside the old pack training yard, watching warriors run through drills they didn’t care about. Their movements were slow and somehow robotic. It was apparent that there was no longer passion in them. The disunity amidst pack members was glaring. These were the same wolves who had once trained beside me, who had once looked to me not just as their leader, but as their brother. Now, they could barely look at me. I wasn’t Alpha anymore.I was a shadow.Still, I remained in the pack house because I had to. Clarissa was still missing but d

  • The Omega Queen   Chapter 50

    Drey's POV It had rained earlier that day, and the scent of wet earth mixed with the sharp tang of anticipation. The night air was cold. Not the usual kind of cold that brushed against the skin and passed, but the kind that seemed to seep deep into the bones. Two nights had passed since Thompson issued the challenge.I hadn't slept much. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Clarissa's face. It was not her usual calm expression, but one filled with fear, confusion, and a silent plea I couldn't ignore. She was still missing, and the only way to get her back was to fight.Fight Thompson.The council had tried to reason with him, and even offered alternative paths, but Thompson stood his ground. He wanted the fight. Not just for control, not just for Clarissa, but to humiliate me and to strip me of everything I stood for.Tonight was the night.I stood at the edge of the training field, now converted into a ceremonial ground. Torches lined the border, casting flickering golden light agai

  • The Omega Queen   Chapter 49

    Clarissa's POVThe days had begun to blur into each other, like ink bleeding through the pages of a diary too soaked in tears. I sat curled on the cold floor of the room that had been my prison for what felt like forever. It was silent most of the time, except for the distant murmurs of Thompson's guards changing shifts or the occasional clang of metal which served as reminders that I was not free.I couldn’t see the sun rise or fall, but I could feel the time passing in the aches of my muscles and the dull throb behind my eyes. My wolf was quiet again, but not gone. She was watching, listening, and breathing through me. She was waiting.I didn’t ask anymore why this had happened. I had come to accept that evil wore many faces, and not all of them snarled. Some smiled.It had been days since anyone kind spoke to me. Lyra, one of the maids who had secretly grown fond of me, hadn’t come around. The others were too afraid. But today, something was different. There was a shift in the air,
