A Test of Endurance

Author: Hafy
last update Last Updated: 2025-09-30 00:43:19

The morning sun bleeds pale gold across the training yard, chasing shadows from the hard-packed earth. Warriors stretch and spar, their voices rough with laughter. When I step into their presence, the noise falters.

Unlike the first time I stepped into the yard, they don't dismiss me nor mock me. Their gazes are filled with curiosity and wariness. The kind of attention given to something they don't yet understand.

I keep my gaze forward, but the weight of their attention presses against me. They saw me stand my ground against Ryken, who has been glaring daggers at me since the moment I came. They now know I'm not as weak as they thought. But they can't figure out what I am, and that unsettles them more than anything.

At the end of the yard, Alpha Caden stands waiting, Beta Dorian at his side. He doesn't need to raise his voice for the space to bow towards him.

“Today's training is about testing your endurance,” he says, voice low. “No one leaves the ground until I say it's over.”

  • The Omega's Deception   Moving Closer to the Alpha

    He waits for my reply, but all I do is stare at him. I’m not sure how to feel about any of this. I don't know how to reconcile this man with the hard-edged Alpha I knew before. I say, “I think we’re moving too fast. It’s too early for an announcement.” He furrows his brow. “A Luna is supposed to be announced as soon as an Alpha recognizes his mate. I think we’re getting quite late.” “But I don’t want to be Luna!” I snap. Hurt appears on his face before he quickly masks it. “I’m sorry,” I murmur. “I just think we’re moving too fast.” He exhales, his voice still soft as he says, “Anything you choose is fine by me, as long as you feel comfortable.” I hesitate before saying, “I will move into the pack house for both our wolves. My wolf is driving me crazy; she wants to be close to you.” A small smile tugs at his lips. “Yeah, I want to be close to you too.” I don’t miss the fact that he says I, not my wolf. I sigh internally. This is what the mate bond does: forces feelings

  • The Omega's Deception   Be My Luna

    I am scrubbing the hallways early that morning when an omega rushes over to me. She kneels beside me and covers the hand holding the rag, with hers. I sigh internally. Here we go again. “Let me help you with that,” she says nervously. I give her a small smile. “It’s fine. I’m fine with it.” She shakes her head, not lifting her hand from mine. “No, please let me.” “You don’t have to—” “Luna, it’s an honor,” she insists. She uses the advantage of me being in shock over the title to snatch the rag and bucket from me, already moving to the other part of the hall before I can stop her. I glance at the guard glued to the wall at the other side, expecting him to reprimand her but taking over a duty that isn’t assigned to her but he keeps his gaze straight ahead, keen on pretending not to have seen what happened. I look over to Mira, who is also scrubbing the other side. But she’s paused now, a cheeky grin on her face as she watches me. I roll my eyes. She is enjoying this

  • The Omega's Deception   Merging Spirit and Flesh

    While Selene faces trial under a full moon, on the other side in Silas's camp, he is performing dark rituals under the same moon. Silas stands in the middle of his camp, Ronan by his side, while his loyalists kneel around him. Wolves who had been there when Selene was cast out still follow him up until today. Those who had been on Selene’s side have either been killed or exiled. Silas holds an obsidian bowl filled with a dark, viscous liquid that steams faintly in the chill air. The liquid contains blood and bones of dead rogues with a dose of ashes. “Alpha, the rite will bind spirit and flesh as one, but it can’t be undone,” says a witch who also stands at his side—the one who brought him back and saved him from death’s grip when he last fought with Selene. Silas smiles. “Then let it be never undone.” He draws a blade—curved, ancient, and forged for this ritual alone—and slices across his palm. The liquid hisses when his blood drops into the bowl, and the witch begins to chant

  • The Omega's Deception   The Full Moon Judgement

    I have him right where I want him. That’s the thought that runs through my mind as my eyes find Ryken’s in the crowd of wolves gathered in the field under the full moon. Some wolves are already half shifted, finding it difficult to resist the pull of the moon, but there won’t be any running through the forest tonight. It’s going to be all about me. The moon’s silver light spills over the field, washing over the crowd of wolves gathered here. I stand in the center of it all, finally free of the moonsbane cuffs but with no way to flee—not that I want to. I have to get rid of Ryken tonight. Caden stands with the council, his jaw set, every emotion wiped from his face. But I can feel him—the faint hum of our bond thrumming in the back of my mind. He hasn’t slept; I can tell. He wants to stop this, but he can’t. Every move he makes now is watched. He doesn’t know he’s helped me indirectly by prolonging this to the night of the full moon. I keep my plan all to myself so no one can sus

  • The Omega's Deception   The Breaking Point

    Three days since the trial, and Ryken has grown bolder, knowing that Caden can do little about him without losing the little trust his pack members still have for him. Ryken’s voice finds sympathetic ears among those who fear anything that smells of instability. A pack can survive many things — but not doubt in its Alpha. Ryken isn’t Caden’s only issue. Inside him, something else churns — that silent thread between him and the woman confined below his home. He can feel her moods now, her exhaustion, her despair, and that quiet surge of defiance. He is Alpha, the protector of a territory. He cannot afford distractions, especially ones that could tear his rule apart. But the more he tries to suppress it, the more the bond bleeds through his control. Dorian has warned him this would happen. “You’re too close,” his Beta had said the night after the trial. “If they sense that connection, they’ll turn on her — and you.” He had agreed. He knows it. But knowing doesn’t stop the pull. Th

  • The Omega's Deception   The Mate Bond

    Dorian walks in, and I relax a bit. The scent of stew—a mixture of meat and herbs—drifts through the air. He hands it to me, and when I make no move to collect it, he sets it gently beside me. He isn’t wearing his beta expression tonight. His shoulders are slumped, the weight of responsibility pressing down on him. “You will be here until the next full moon,” he says quietly. My heart stops. That’s a week from now—and why until the next full moon, when a wolf can hardly contain their shift? I see what they did here. Dorian says again, “The Alpha is buying you time.” My stomach twists into knots. “Buying me time for what?” He hesitates, his eyes flicking to the narrow window before coming back to me. “To get things sorted out smoothly,” he says, then adds, “For himself, too, I think.” “What does that mean?” He doesn’t answer. Instead, he gestures toward the bowl. “Eat something. You will need your strength.” He leaves, shutting the door behind him with a muted click.
