Jack

The market is alive today, louder than I have ever heard it. Wolves crowd shoulder to shoulder, their voices sharp with excitement, their eyes darting. At first, I think it’s the usual gossip about borders or stolen goods, but then I hear it.

A woman.

The word cuts through the noise like a blade. Impossible.

And then I see her.

She moves between the stalls with a basket in her hand, the hem of her white dress brushing against her knees. She doesn’t need to speak to silence the world around her. Wolves part as she passes. Some stare with hungry disbelief. Others whisper like she is holy. I even catch one old fool crossing himself as though she’s a goddess returned.

Whispers ripple through the market, sharp and cutting. “Is she real?” one wolf hisses. “Three Alphas guard her like dogs around a bone,” another sneers. “It’s blasphemy—one woman, hidden away when she should belong to the strongest,” an elder mutters, shaking his head. Laughter follows from a group of younger mal

  • The last omega   Chapter 29- A new friend

    Irene “It hurts,” I say. “But he hasn’t… not like that.” Not yet. My fingers curl into the blanket on my lap. “He tries to press with his voice, with his aura. He thinks I will bend if he pushes long enough. He thinks he is the only answer. He is wrong.” Tobias lets out a breath he’s been holding since he stepped in. “Sometimes I think I’m going to choke if I don’t say the truth out loud. But when I try, my throat closes.” “Then say it here,” I tell him. “Say it now.” He looks down at his hands. “I hate it here.” “Good,” I say. “Keep that. Don’t let it turn into hate for yourself.” He looks up fast, like I tossed him a rope. “How do you do that?” I lift a shoulder. “I remember what is mine. My name. My wolf. The way the forest smelled when I ran with Cassian. The sound of Rowan laughing when he thinks no one can hear. The way Kevin’s hands shake when he’s trying not to cry. I stack those things like stones. I build a wall inside and I stand behind it.” “Does it work

  • The last omega   Chapter 28 — A Stranger’s Kindness

    Irene The tray slides through the door with a soft scrape. I look up from the cold soup on the table. I expect the same guard with dead eyes and a heavy hand. Instead, a thin boy steps in. He can’t be more than eighteen. Dark hair falls over his forehead. His shirt is too big, sleeves rolled and stained with kitchen oil. He keeps his eyes down as he pushes the door with his hip and balances the tray in both hands. “Dinner,” he says, like it’s a secret. “Thank you,” I answer. He glances at me, quick and shy. His gaze snags and won’t let go. People here stare like I’m a problem. He stares like I’m a sunrise he never thought he’d see. It makes me want to sit straighter. “What’s your name?” I ask. He blinks, surprised, as if no one ever asked. “Tobias.” “I’m Irene,” I say, even though he must know. The whole pack must know. “I know,” he whispers, eyes bright and unsure. He sets the tray down—bread, soup, a small piece of roasted meat, a metal cup of water. His hands t

  • The last omega   Chapter 27 — War on Paper

    Kevin The pain comes like a knife. I suck in a sharp breath as heat burns under my ribs. My hand flies to my side, and when I lift my shirt, a dark bruise is already forming. The ache isn’t mine—it’s Irene’s. Kay, my wolf, growls inside me. Breathe. Don’t drown in it. Hold it steady. I grit my teeth, forcing air through my lungs until the pain settles into a dull, steady throb. Functional. Barely. The living room is lit by harsh electric light. The long table in the center is covered with a large paper map, notes scribbled in pencil, a few pins stuck in the corners. Cassian stands at the head, both hands gripping the wood. Rowan sits half-leaning in a chair, pretending to look relaxed but his jaw is tight. Elias hovers by the window, shoulders tense, twisting a bandage roll between his fingers. “She’s in his house,” Cassian says, voice rough. “Our scout smelled Jack on the porch. He’s guarding it with his life.” “She is there,” I answer. I don’t even leave space for do

  • The last omega   Chapter 26-If I Cannot Have You

    Irene The door creaks open, and I stiffen, ready for Tom’s venom. But it’s not him. It’s Jack. He fills the doorway with smug ease, arms folded, eyes glinting like a wolf who knows the rabbit is cornered. He shuts the door behind him, the lock clicking, and strides into the room as though it belongs to him—because in his mind, it does. “Trying to crawl out through the window?” he drawls, tilting his head. “Clever girl. But not clever enough.” I stand, shoulders straight despite the ache in my ribs. “Let me go. You have no right—” He cuts me off with a laugh, amused, not angry. “No right? I have every right. You’re mine now, whether you admit it or not.” “I’m not yours,” I snap. “I belong to Cassian, Rowan, Elias, and Kevin. They are my mates. Nothing you say will ever change that.” He steps closer, grin widening. “Defiant. I like that. But you should learn something, Irene: defiance only entertains me for so long.” I don’t flinch as his eyes narrow, though my stoma

  • The last omega   Chapter 25-The Cruelty of Almost

    Irene The door slams shut behind Tom, leaving me curled on the floor, clutching my ribs. Every breath feels jagged, like knives scraping inside me. My body shakes, not just from the blows but from the weight of his words. We’ve been here before, Aria whispers, her voice trembling but steady. They tried to break us once. They failed. They’ll fail again. “I can’t,” I choke out, rocking slightly. “Not again. I can’t live like this.” Then we don’t live like this, she says fiercely. We run. We find a way. We survive. I press my forehead to the cold stone floor, tears stinging my eyes. “How? They’ve locked me up like an animal. Every corner is guarded. Jack watches me like I’m his crown jewel. Tom—” My voice cracks. “Tom hates me so much he’d rather kill me than look at me.” Then we don’t ask him for mercy, Aria insists. We don’t wait for rescue. We take it. Look. Search. There’s always a crack, always a weakness. Find it. Her determination floods into me, burning through the haze o

  • The last omega   Chapter 24-I’ll Make You Disappear

    Tom I slam the door behind me, the lock clanging like a sentence. Irene flinches, her eyes wide, her back pressed against the wall. She looks too calm, too certain, as if she thinks Jack’s fascination is enough to shield her. It makes me sick. “You think you’ve won,” I snarl, stalking toward her. “You think because he looks at you, you’ve stolen everything I built. But you haven’t. Not yet.” “I didn’t take anything from you,” she whispers, her voice trembling. “I never asked for this—” “Liar.” The word rips out of me as I kick her in the stomach. The sound of her breath exploding from her lungs is a sick kind of satisfaction. She folds to her knees, gasping, clutching at herself. “You’re nothing,” I hiss, pacing in front of her like a wolf in a cage. “And I’ll prove it. I’ll make you disappear if I have to.” She coughs, trying to drag air back into her lungs. “If you hurt me—Jack will—” I cut her off with another kick, this one lower, into her ribs. She cries out, the
