Clarissa's POV

I sat alone in my room, my fingers were running absently over the edges of the bedspread, tracing patterns I couldn’t see but could feel. My thoughts had been restless since Camellia summoned me. Every word she had spoken still echoed in my mind, heavier than the silence that followed. Drey was gone. The essence was useless without him, and if it ever touched Thompson’s hands now, it could kill him within seven days, leaving the Alpha’s seat empty.

That seat… vacant for more than a day? The pack would unravel. The law was clear. The thought gnawed at me like a wolf with bone-deep hunger.

And then there was Drey.

The anger in his absence lingered like smoke after fire. I didn’t know exactly where he had gone, but the emptiness he left behind pressed on me harder with each passing hour. He was part of the rhythm of the pack; loud, rough, steady in his presence and now his silence was unsettling, as if something inside Riverside had cracked.

  • 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

  • The Omega Queen   Chapter 93

    Clarissa's POV Over time, I had come to realize that the mindlink was both a blessing and a burden. Ever since it awakened within me, I could hear snippets of the pack's life drifting in and out of my consciousness like fragments of conversations carried by the wind. Some voices I chose to listen to, while others I pushed aside. But that night, as I sat by the hearth with Jasmine curled up at my feet, I found I couldn’t ignore this one.The words invaded my thoughts, sharp and sudden.“…Crescent Moon… another Luna dead…”I stiffened. My breath caught in my throat before I could steady myself. Crescent Moon. Derek. Death.The voices were broken, fading in and out like a poor radio signal, but the meaning was hauntingly clear. My chest tightened as though invisible hands were pressing down on my ribs.“Jasmine,” I whispered, running my hand over her fur for comfort. “Did you hear that too? Or am I losing my mind?”She whined softly, nudging her nose against my palm.The fire crackle

  • The Omega Queen   Chapter 92

    Clarissa's POVThree days had slipped by since my last attempt to mindlink Drey, and during those days, I carried a silence within me that felt heavier than any burden I'd ever returned with from the mountains. This silence didn’t stem from the pack, nor from Tessy, or even from the essence sealed away in Camellia’s care. No, it came from Drey.I had reached out to him previously, while trying out this new gift of mindlinking, pouring my heart into the invisible thread binding us. But he had responded with nothing. The emptiness that followed nearly shattered me. It felt like I was just fooling myself.Yet, I couldn’t stop trying.That morning, I found myself seated on the porch of Tessy’s apartment, with Jasmine curled up at my feet, her warm fur brushing against my bare ankles. The air was filled with the gentle sound of the river rolling far below, steady and indifferent, as if it were unaware of how much turmoil brewed within me. My hands rested on my lap, but my mind was anythi
