“Move faster, runt!” Marcus shouted as the bucket hit Aeris in the chest.

Cold water soaked through his thin shirt, but Aeris didn’t move. One wrong step meant more pain. He stayed still, trying not to show any reaction.

“I’m sorry,” he whispered.

Marcus kicked the bucket away, angry. “Fill it again. Don’t spill this time.”

A sharp stab in his side made Aeris bend over. Someone had kicked him there before. He couldn’t remember when. Everything hurt all the time now.

Slowly, step by step, he walked to the well. Quiet. Small. Like he wanted to disappear.

The well stood in the yard’s middle. The sun touched the ground but never him. Darkness seemed to cling to Aeris.

He dropped the bucket into the well and pulled the rope carefully. Water spilled from his shaking hands.

“Useless.”

Kael’s voice came from behind. Aeris didn’t look, but he knew the boy,the Beta’s son,strong and hated by many.

Kael stepped in front of him, surrounded by fighters. “My dad says you’re a curse. The Moon Goddess even rejects you.”

Aeris looked down. “I don’t know.”

“Say it!” Kael snapped.

“I don’t know!” Aeris’s voice was louder this time, but shaky.

Kael hit him in the chin. The bucket slipped, water flooding the dirt.

“Clean this up,” Kael said, pulling Aeris’s hair. “And get more water. The Alpha wants his bath before the hunt.”

After they left, Aeris stayed behind. His shirt was soaked, his mouth cut and bleeding. He hadn’t eaten in days. Once someone gave him half a dry loaf, which he hid under his mat.

Pain burned as he filled the bucket again, more carefully now. At the leader’s hut, Aeris stood quietly while the Alpha ignored him. He felt invisible.

Midday came with the hunting ceremony. Aeris couldn’t join. He stood at the edge, watching fighters mark their skin with soot and blood.

The pack trusted dreams, storms, and old stories. Many believed Aeris brought trouble.

“There’s that boy,” Leta said coldly as she stepped forward like a shadow.

“Someone should move him,” another woman said. “He’ll curse the hunt.”

“The Beta told us to watch him.”

The Alpha raised his hand. Silence fell.

“Today we hunt for the Goddess,” he said. “We show our strength. May she guide us.”

The fighters shifted,bones cracked, hair grew wild. In seconds, they became wolves, strong and fierce. Aeris was nothing like them.

They ran into the forest. Aeris waited.

Time passed. The fighters should have returned. Hunts didn’t last so long.

Then the bodies came. Four wounded wolves, covered in blood and barely alive.

Chaos broke out.

“What happened?” the Alpha demanded.

“Something new attacked us,” Marcus said, his eyes wild with wolf spirit. “It waited.”

Three wolves died. Four were hurt.

Marcus turned to Aeris.

“It’s your fault!” Leta screamed. “You cursed us!”

All eyes turned to Aeris, full of hate.

“I didn’t do anything,” Aeris said, stepping back.

“Your very being is a curse!” Kael spat. “We should’ve killed you long ago.”

The Beta took control. “Bring him here.”

They grabbed Aeris. He tried to break free, but fighters closed in.

Kael punched his stomach, folding him over.

They beat him,punches, kicks, claws cutting his skin. Blood mixed with tears.

Aeris did not fight back. Why try?

When they stopped, he collapsed, gasping for air.

“Take him to the border,” the Alpha ordered. “Leave him there.”

They dragged Aeris out, threw him beyond the pack’s land, near the dark woods.

Marcus leaned close. “Come back, we’ll kill you.”

They left him there.

Night came cold and heavy.

Aeris wanted to give up, to let the darkness take him. But voices stopped him.

“The boy dies at dawn,” the Beta said.

“Can’t risk it again,” another whispered.

Aeris’s heart raced. This was no longer punishment. This was death.

His body throbbed with pain, blood soaking his shirt.

Still, he stood.

He looked out over the land that used to be his home.

Then his eyes turned to the trees,the forbidden forest, deep and black.

The pack gave up on him. Maybe the woods would not.

He took a shaky step forward. Then another.

His world blurred, but he kept moving.

The trees closed in as the Bloodfang Pack slept, unaware their curse was gone.

  • The Omega Who Should Not Exist     CHAPTER 7 — “The Price of Awakening”

    Pain woke Aeris. Not the old familiar ache. This was sharper,flames racing up his arms, burning deep inside. He tried to shift but couldn’t. His arms were pinned down. His legs too. “What” His voice cracked, rough and weak. “Don’t struggle.” Killian’s voice, close. But Aeris couldn’t see him. He forced his eyes open. The world blurred, then sharpened. He lay on the dirt amid temple ruins. Glowing marks traced his skin like fiery chains, holding him tight. “Killian?” Panic rose in his throat. “What’s happening?” “The marks appeared after you passed out.” Killian knelt beside him, face pale and tired. “They trapped you. I can’t break them.” Aeris pulled against them. The marks flared brighter. Pain ripped through his chest. He stopped, gasping. “I told you,” Killian said. His hand hovered near Aeris’s face, afraid to touch. “Every move makes it worse.” “Why are they here?” “Someone triggered them from afar. To wake you. To keep you conscious for what’s next

  • The Omega Who Should Not Exist    CHAPTER 6 — “When the Power Breaks”

    The room shook. Light burst from Aeris,wild, sharp, out of control. Stone cracked. Walls trembled. Dust fell like rain. “Aeris!” Killian lunged forward. A sudden blast threw him back. He hit a pillar hard, gasping for air. Aeris screamed,a raw, tearing sound that filled the temple like shattered glass. He floated upward, held by pure power. “Make it stop!” Aeris’s voice was strange, layered and distorted. “Please!” Killian pushed to his feet. Blood dripped from a cut on his forehead. “I don’t know how!” Aeris glowed like sunlight breaking through a storm. The bond in Killian’s chest tightened, sharp as bone breaking. He gasped and fell to his knees. He felt the pain too, deep inside. “Aeris, listen!” Killian crawled closer as stones fell around him. “Fight! Take control!” “I can’t!” Aeris cried, tears streaming. “It’s tearing me apart!” The power surged again. Cracks spread across the floor and walls. The temple was falling. Killian pushed through the p

    “We can’t stay here.” Killian helped Aeris to his feet. The hunters lay dead nearby, still and silent. “Where are we going?” Aeris’s legs trembled. The glow under his skin was gone, but he could still feel something waiting inside him. “Somewhere safer. Where the Council’s hunters won’t find us.” Killian wrapped an arm around Aeris’s waist to steady him. “Can you walk?” “I think so.” “Good. We move fast.” They ran through the trees. Aeris was slow, but Killian never left his side or loosened his grip. The bond between them hummed,a steady, second heartbeat. At last, the trees opened into a clearing filled with ruins. Old stone pillars wrapped in vines. Crumbling walls. A broken archway leading nowhere. “What is this place?” Aeris whispered. “An ancient temple. Older than packs, older than territories.” Killian guided him under the arch. “The magic here hides us. It blocks tracking spells.” Inside, it was less ruined. Part of the roof still stood. Moonlight shone

  • The Omega Who Should Not Exist    CHAPTER 4 — “Blood on the Moonlight”

    Suddenly, hands covered Aeris’s mouth before he could scream. He was pulled back, his feet lifting off the ground. “Got him!” a rough voice hissed close to his ear. “Move now!” Aeris fought hard, biting and kicking, but another pair of hands grabbed his legs. They dragged him through the doorway and into the dark night. “Stop struggling,” a voice sneered. “You’re only making it worse.” He was thrown onto the ground. Stones dug into his back. Roots scraped his skin. The hand over his mouth squeezed tighter. Where was Killian? Was their bond broken? Was Killian even alive? “Hurry!” a third voice called from the trees. “The Alpha will know soon.” “Let him know. We’ll be long gone before that.” They ran through the woods. Thorns scratched Aeris’s arms. Branches whipped his face. His shirt tore. Fresh blood bloomed on his skin. Finally, they stopped and dumped him hard on the earth. Above him stood three dark shapes in the moonlight. Wolves. But not from his old pac

  • The Omega Who Should Not Exist    CHAPTER 3 — “The Alpha’s Claim”

    Aeris woke with a sharp gasp. Softness surrounded him,a real bed, warm blankets. The air smelled fresh, like pine and wood smoke. This wasn’t the cold shed anymore. He sat up quickly. His heart beat fast. “Don’t move.” The voice came from the shadows, low and firm. Killian stepped into the light by the window. He looked taller, stronger here. His eyes still glowed with that strange light. “Where am I?” Aeris’s voice was rough. “My safehouse, deep in my land.” Aeris looked around. Stone walls, fire crackling in a hearth, animal skins on the walls. This was a strong man’s home. “How long was I out?” “Six hours.” Killian came closer, slow and careful. “You collapsed. You were nearly dead.” Six hours. Aeris touched his face. The swelling was gone. His lip was healed. “You healed me.” “Not me. The bond did.” That impossible bond. “You should hate me,” Aeris said softly. “You don’t want someone like me.” “Don’t tell me what I want.” “I’m cursed. I bring r

  • The Omega Who Should Not Exist    CHAPTER 2 — “The Alpha in the Dark”

    Aeris nearly couldn’t breathe. His chest burned with each breath. The dark trees reached for him, branches slicing his skin, roots trying to trip him. He fell hard onto the cold ground. Tried to get up. Fell again. Blood dripped from his cuts, leaving a red trail on the dirt. “Keep going,” he whispered, voice low. But his legs gave out. He crashed face-first into the earth. He tried to push himself up, but his arms wouldn’t move. Maybe this was the end. Alone, far from his pack, dying in the woods. Maybe it was better like this. No one would spit on his body here. His sight blurred. The pain faded, replaced by the cold heaviness. And then he felt it. A huge presence, close. The air around him thickened. Heavy footsteps, slow and strong, moved toward him. A shape moved through the trees,too big for a man, but too smooth for an animal. The shadow stopped. A man stepped into the clearing. Not just a man. Power flowed from him like heat from a fire. It pres
