Sharp and relentless, the Beta's eyes stared into mine. His presence suffocated the tiny hut as his tall form filled it.

His voice was low and angry as he continued, "You're lying."

I said, trying to keep my voice calm, "I've told you everything. I am nothing more than a lone wolf."

He took a step closer and snorted. With a bang that reverberated throughout the little room, the door closed behind him, confining me with his distrust.

"Do you think that I am blind?" he snarled. "I've seen your moves and self-presentation. You're not a helpless wolf fleeing from outlaws."

My heart was pounding, but I kept my hands from shaking by clenching them. "Believe in what you want to believe in. But I haven't hurt this pack in any way."

The Beta squinted his piercing green eyes and crossed his arms. "That mark on your wrist, what about it? You continue to try to hide it, but I can see it clearly."

My fingers moved automatically to cover the mark's faint glimmer. "It's nothing," I blurted out. "Just a scar from last time."

He shook his head and laughed cruelly. "Do you deem me to be foolish? That mark is more than a simple scar. Something else—something dangerous—is involved."

With my heart beating in my ears, I retreated a step. The cabin's walls seemed to be closing in on us. I said, becoming quieter, "You're imagining things."

"No, I'm not," he spoke in a cold, calculating tone. "I think the Alpha will want to know exactly what you're hiding, and I've seen enough to know that."

His comments made my stomach turn. My precious refuge would be destroyed if the Alpha became involved.

With a hint of panic in my voice, I replied, "You can't. You're not understanding..."

He abruptly stopped me, saying, "Then make me understand. Who are you, really? Why have you come here?"

The tension in the room changed, and I could feel it. My mind hurriedly searched for an escape route, but none was found.

I mumbled, more to myself than to him, "I'm nobody."

The Beta stepped forward once more, his voice dropping to a threatening murmur. "I'll drag you to the Alpha myself if you don't tell me the truth."

Something broke inside of me. The huge strain, the fear, and the desperation all came crashing down at once.

"I said I'm not important!" The words tore from my throat as I yelled.

The Beta froze as the air around us looked to sizzle with a strong charge. I had an odd feeling that gathered in my chest and radiated forth.

The Beta began, "What the..." but stopped when he noticed a dim glow coming from my hands.

I was helpless to stop whatever was happening, so I looked down at them in terror. The intricate patterns of the mark on my wrist glowed like molten gold as it burned brightly.

"Stop it!" I pleaded, but I had no idea to whom or what I was pleading.

The Beta staggered back, his frightened eyes wide. "What on earth are you doing?"

"I'm not sure!" The excitement was getting out of control, so I started crying. The force of it caused the little cabin to seem to tremble, with things rattling on shelves and the air becoming hotter.

The Beta's fear was replaced by a more sinister feeling: understanding. He whispered, almost to himself, "It's you. The rumors... They are true."

I was out of breath as the energy faded as fast as it had blazed. The Beta was staring at me like I was a monster, and the room was strangely quiet.

His hand fumbled for the handle as he backed toward the door. His voice was trembling but triumphant as he responded, "You've just confirmed my suspicions. This will be communicated to the Alpha."

"No," I whispered as I moved forward, my voice firm but tremulous. "You don't understand...please..."

He opened the door and remarked, "I understand enough. You pose a threat."

I was left to bear the consequences of what had just happened alone when he vanished into the night.

With my head in my hands, I fell onto the bed. Whatever power had rushed through me was still quivering beneath my skin as my body shook.

What had I done? Who was I?

The mark on my wrist was still glowing dimly in the dark, but it had lessened. My thoughts were racing as I gazed at it. Was I being hunted because of this? Why was it that I was never at peace?

I was jolted out of my reverie by a groan outside the window. With every nerve in my body on high alert, my head jerked up.

"Who is there?" With a sharp voice, I yelled out.

As Lucas entered, the door slowly opened, and I felt my breath catch in my throat.

"Lucas?" I muttered, feeling both shocked and disbelieving at the same time.

With patient and cautious moves, he shut the door behind him. He still wore a scarf, which partly covered his face, but his eyes were unmistakably blue and penetrating.

"Why are you in this place?" I stood up suddenly and ordered.

His face was grim as he drew the scarf down. "I might consider asking the same question to you."

I stepped back and shook my head. "You have no business being here. You're not understanding..."

He replied, calmly but firmly, "I understand more than you think. Anna, I've been following you for days."

His comments were like a kick to the stomach. "Are you following me? Why? What are you looking for from me?"

Lucas paused, his eyes getting softer. "I'm here to help you."

The sound was loud in the quiet room as I laughed bitterly. "Can you help me? Following all that you have done to me? Why should I put my trust in you?"

With a firm and confident tone, he stated, "Because I am the only one who can keep you alive."

    With my luggage draped over my shoulder and a weary but determined heart, I stood at the edge of the woodland. Beside me were Lucas and Maia, whose faces reflected mine: a mixture of resolve and melancholy.Cain came toward us, his eyes full of resolution but his face etched with fatigue. Although he had been among Oliver's most devoted soldiers, the insurrection had altered him. We were leaving him in control after he had fought with us and put his life in danger for the pack."Are you sure about this?" he said softly.I gave a nod. "Cain, you're the greatest option. You are trusted by the pack. They will follow you."He paused, his eyes darting between Maia and Lucas. "How about the three of you? Where are you going?""Somewhere new," was all I said. "A place where we can start again."Cain's face softened as he nodded. "You've done enough for this pack. More than sufficient. Go if this is what you need. We'll be alright."I said my

    In the broken remnants of Nightshade's great hall, the firelight wavered, creating unsettling shadows on the stone walls. I had nothing left to offer the pack, but they continued to hover, perhaps awaiting guidance. There was still a weight in my chest. I didn't feel like I had won, even though Oliver was defeated and his rule was overthrown by the people he used to rule.Sitting next to me on a splintered wooden bench, Maia was looking off into space as she absently traced a scar over her arm. Ever the guardian, Lucas stood a few feet away, his gaze sweeping the still audience.After a long pause, Lucas whispered, "They need a leader." He spoke in a quiet, wary tone. "Someone to rebuild what's left."Slowly, I nodded. "They need someone," I said, then looked over at Maia.She stiffened as I stared at her. "Don't even think about it."I cocked my head. "Why not?"She gave a dry laugh, but it was devoid of any humor. "Becaus

    The trumpet's call echoed through the broken remains of Nightshade, a sound that once sent fear rippling through the pack but now carried a different weight. A summons. A reckoning.I stood in the heart of the pack's gathering grounds, where months ago, I had watched Leo be condemned to death. My fingers tightened into fists at my sides as I forced myself to take in every detail... the stone platform, the lofty arches, the wooden beams above that had once felt oppressive. The torches flickered, casting long shadows against the walls, just like they had that night.Only this time, it wasn't Leo standing before the pack.It was Oliver.He was on his knees in the center of the hall, bound, his body battered and broken. Blood matted his dark hair, his once-imposing body slumped forward in exhaustion. The very warriors who had formerly battled under him stood around the perimeter of the hall, their gazes flitting between me and the fall

  • The Weak Omega's Redemption   Chapter 108: The Fall of a Tyrant Lucas POV

    There was silence on the battlefield.The silence was not one that resulted from relief or tranquility. It was the thick, stifling type that comes after a storm, as though the world itself was holding its breath. The ground was covered in fallen people, and the air was heavy with the smell of smoke and blood. With a mixture of amazement and incredulity, the rebels who had survived the slaughter and were still standing glanced at Anna.Oliver was lying at her feet, immobile and broken. His burnt body stood out sharply against the blood-soaked ground below, and his once-imposing figure had now collapsed into a crumpled heap. He was not yet dead, but he was very nearly so. His chest rose and fell in weak, irregular spasms, and his breaths were shallow.With her shoulders heaving and her hands still burning dimly from the last of her power, Anna stood over him. Her hair was knotted and wild, and her face was stained with blood and filth, but her ey

    All I could do was observe.My entire existence begged me to step in, step in, and support Anna as she faced Oliver alone. However, I was unable to.I shouldn't.This was her fight.Standing opposite Oliver, Anna's body was bruised and covered in blood, yet her unwavering will remained burning. I had never seen the raw electricity crackle in the air around her before. It was hazardous, untamed, and wild. There was nothing weak about the dim glow that flickered from her palms, like a fading ember. The ground beneath her boots seemed to be reacting to her, quivering in expectation of what lay ahead.Oliver rolled his shoulders and grinned as though this were merely a minor annoyance. I shuddered at his self-assurance. For so long, he had ruled by terror, destroying anybody who tried to oppose him. He now considered Anna to be simply another idiot who believed they could prevail.However, she wasn't.

    The battlefield was a bloody, chaotic nightmare.The night was filled with screams as the rebels gave it their all in battle, but Oliver's forces were unrelenting and mercilessly defeated us. My muscles ached from the never ending battle, and I was breathing in ragged breaths, but there was no time to pause. Another life was lost with every second that passed.Maia was down.Across the field, I saw her fall, hitting the ground with a horrible crack. As I surged at her, avoiding an enemy's claws at the last second, my stomach knotted in terror."Maia!" I fell on my knees next to her. Her breathing was shallow, and blood was leaking from a deep wound along her shoulder.Her body trembled uncontrollably as she attempted to push herself up. "I'm fine," she rasped, but I could tell she wasn't."You're not," I said as I applied pressure to the cut. My palm was stained by the warmth of her blood, and my chest developed a hollow hole.Lucas s
