The Tyrant Lycan's Ruined Omega Chapter 90: The Morning After the Moon
Coffee woke me, and under it, the pipes were knocking somewhere in the walls.The light was thin and gray-gold. The moon had set, but it had left the bond raw. Every feeling I had sat just under the skin, and Xavier's was there too, in the next room, like a second pulse I couldn't turn down.He stood at the window with a mug in his good hand. Fresh gauze on the shoulder, clean shirt, buttoned all the way this time. He'd put his face back on, too. The bond didn't match it. Pain, arithmetic, and something softer he was trying to fold up small before I could see it."You're staring," he said, not turning around."You're worse off than you told me.""I've had worse."I took the mug out of his hand and set it on the sill. Then I peeled up the edge of the gauze to look. He let me, and that told me more than anything he'd said in the night."You put yourself over me," I said. "You could have shifted. You could have gotten out first. You didn't.""I t

The first thing I knew was the smell: cedar, old smoke, and under it, iron. Mine or his, I couldn't tell yet.The second thing was the collar. It had never felt this heavy before. It sat against my windpipe like a cold thumb, and every swallow reminded me it was there.The ceiling was wrong. Xavier's penthouse had glass and steel and a thousand lights. This was dark planks, close together, with a water stain in one corner shaped roughly like a hand.Silver light came through the window, the thin, bleached kind that doesn't belong to any hour of the day.The moon was full. Of course it was.I sat up too fast and my ribs let me know about it. A stripe of fire ran along my left side, exactly where the seatbelt had caught me. The room held a low bed, a chair, and a window full of black pines.Beyond the trees, a smear of city lights I didn't recognize. We were on the far side of Vanguard, where the towers gave up and the roads went private and s
The Tyrant Lycan's Ruined Omega Chapter 88: A Violent Interruption
I was almost ready.The formal notice had been drafted. The transport was waiting. The heavier collar sat cold and permanent against my throat, and the silver bracelet on my wrist caught the light every time I moved. Wintersaint was only hours away.I stepped into the hallway looking for Mrs. Gable and stopped short.Kaelen lingered by the big windows, leaning most of his weight onto his good leg. Brie stood facing him with her arms crossed, wearing that look she always saved for stubborn people.She muttered something I couldn't quite hear, and Kaelen's mouth twitched. Brie reached out, straightened his posture, and gave his shoulder a quick, playful shove.He almost walked normally.Not quite. There was still a lingering stiffness from the injury, but it was the best he'd moved in weeks.They looked... close.She muttered something else, and I watched the tips of Kaelen's ears turn a soft red.I cleared my throat.They both turned. Kaelen's face went blank so fast it was almost impr

The study stayed quiet long after our breathing slowed.Xavier finally pulled out, but he didn't move away. He stayed right there between my legs, one hand on the heavy collar and the other rubbing the silver bracelet on my wrist, almost like he had to touch them to believe they were actually there. The city lights hit his bare shoulders, showing the faint scratch marks from my nails. I sat on the edge of the desk in his shirt, my legs still shaking. The room smelled like both of us. For once, Ciel was quiet. He wasn't calm; he just looked stunned by everything that had happened."You kept the bracelet for six years," I said. My voice sounded rough. "You watched me from a distance. You let the Crown cage you. And you still put this collar on me like it was the first time you decided I was yours."Xavier's thumb brushed the moon charm. "It wasn't the first time. It was the first time I stopped pretending I could survive without the claim being visible."I looked at him. The violet i
The Tyrant Lycan's Ruined Omega Chapter 86: Two Very Different Things
I stared up at him, the silver bracelet still clenched in my hand. The moon charm dug into my palm. "You bought this for me," I said. It wasn't a question anymore. "Yes." "Before the rejection. Before that night in your penthouse." Xavier's eyes didn't waver. "Yes." The truth sat between us like a live wire. I had spent six years believing I was the only one who felt something that night. The only one left bleeding. The only one who had to rebuild herself from nothing while he walked away clean. Now the bracelet in my hand said otherwise. "You let Freya take it," I whispered. "I didn't let her do a thing." He lowered his voice. "She just found the receipt and flipped out. Started threatening to tell your dad, the Council, the Crown—everything. Back then, I was just trying to keep the bond a secret until I figured out how to claim you without starting a whole political war." I laughed once, bitter and sharp. "And then Scott rejected me in front of everyone, and you decided the

I couldn't sleep.The east suite was too quiet, the sheets too clean. Every time I turned, the collar around my throat felt heavier. Across the bed, Brie sat in borrowed pajamas, wearing the same worried look she'd had since the clinic was hit."Talk," she said. "And don't give me the 'I'm fine' version. You're vibrating."I stared at the ceiling. "I always liked him."Brie went still. "Xavier?""Yeah." The admission tasted like old regret. "Before Scott. Before everything."The memory came without permission.I was seventeen, standing in the training yard at Greystone Academy while every other student gawked. Xavier Beckett had just walked onto the field in black training gear, violet eyes sweeping across the crowd like he was already bored of existing among us.He was Freya's.Everyone knew it. The future alliance. The perfect match.I had been running drills with the other Omegas when my foot caught on uneven stone. I went down ha
