The last omega Chapter 88 — The Whispers Beneath the Roots
Irene The third night tastes of copper and rain, though the sky is dry. Lanterns sway like tired stars, their light pooling over the roots in soft halos. The fruit hangs above us, smaller now—still pink, but faded, as if dawn forgot its own color. We’ve stopped pretending we aren’t counting heartbeats. Every flicker of light becomes a ledger line. Every silence, a debt we can’t afford. We keep vigil anyway. Rowan settles against the trunk, sword across his knees, eyes half-lidded but listening to everything. Kevin is a shadow at the perimeter, walking the ward lines with the patient anger of a mathematician who refuses to accept that the universe doesn’t answer to chalk. Elias warms honeyed water on a low flame, testing the temperature against his wrist like a father would. Tobias moves quieter now, laying herbs around the base in a pale ring—yarrow, angelica, white lavender—his garden songs little more than breath. Cassian stands near me, close enough that I feel his heat a
The last omega Chapter 87 — The Weight of Faith
Irene Morning creeps in quietly, pale and thin, as if afraid to touch the grove. No one speaks when the light arrives. The fire has burned down to ash, the lanterns flicker out one by one, and the only thing that still glows faintly is the fruit. It’s smaller than yesterday. I feel it before I see it — a hollow ache behind my ribs, as if my own heart shrank to match. Cassian stirs beside me, brushing soot from his sleeve. His eyes are red around the edges. “Did you sleep?” he asks. I shake my head. “You?” He doesn’t answer. That’s answer enough. The others begin to wake in fragments. Rowan pushes himself upright with a low groan. Tobias blinks like a child who forgot how mornings work. Kevin’s first movement is to reach for his notes. Elias only sighs and stares at his hands for a long time before flexing his fingers like a man who no longer trusts his own strength. The grove smells of tired bodies, smoke, and the faint sweetness of decay. Rowan mutters something about patrols
The last omega Chapter 86 — The Night Watch
Irene The first night feels endless. Lanterns hang from the branches like captured stars, their flames swaying in rhythm with our breath. The grove smells of wet earth, honey, and smoke from the small fire we keep alive to warm the roots. We take turns watching the fruit, sleeping in shifts that never truly rest. Cassian assigned them — of course he did. He pretended it was strategy, but I saw the truth in his eyes: he just couldn’t bear for me to stay here alone. Rowan and Tobias guard first. Elias tends the small brazier, whispering words meant to heal the soil. Kevin marks the ward lines again, chalking the earth until his hands turn white. And me… I sit beside the Mother Tree, unable to move. The fruit glows faintly above, a fragile ember trapped in a world of shadows. I whisper to it. “I’m here, little one. You’re not alone.” It doesn’t answer, but sometimes the glow flickers, and I pretend that means something. Hours pass. Rowan’s pacing grows slower. Tobias hums softly
The last omega Chapter 85- The watch
Irene I nod. Tears tease my lashes again. I’m so tired of crying. But there’s a kind of strength in it, too, the way the river is strong when it breaks itself on rocks and still runs with fury . The men return fast. Rowan with the ladder and strap. Tobias with linen, a clay bowl, and a bundle of herbs that smell like sunlight. Kevin with three extra cloaks and a tight mouth. Cassian with a small wooden figure I’ve never seen—a tiny wolf carved with care, smoothed by years of being held. “For luck,” he says, and tucks it into the crook of a branch. We work like a single body. Rowan secures the ladder and climbs first, steady as a mountain. He doesn’t touch the fruit; he measures the distance and ties the cradle strap to a higher limb, leaving a soft sling ready beneath. Elias mixes warm water with a lick of honey and murmurs to the mixture like healers have done for centuries. Tobias spreads the linen on the grass and arranges tiny bundles of herbs the way Elias taught him thi
The last omega Chapter 84 — When Dawn Turns Pale
Irene As i wake up, the sun already shines and the bed is cold. For some reason, my chest feels heavy, and is not because my boys are gone , it’s something else. The mother tree. I dress myself quickly and exit the house. I know something is wrong before I reach the clearing. The path smells different—less honey, more dust. The bees hum lower, a tired sound, as if their tiny bodies carry a secret they hate. Even the light feels thinner, stretched too far over too much morning. I start to run. Branches snatch at my sleeves. My breath shreds. The veil we wove over the grove recognizes me and parts, and then— No. The word rips out of me without sound. It’s only inside, like a knife that refuses to leave the wound. The pink fruit hangs where it should, small and perfect, but its glow is dimmed. The tender skin has lost its dewy sheen. At the base where stem meets branch, a sickly shadow has crept in, a bruise of gray. My knees buckle. I catch the trunk with both hands
The last omega Chapter 83 — The Gardener and the Fruit
Irene A week passes like a sigh between dawns. The world hasn’t stopped celebrating. Every morning, distant drums echo from other packs, and the air smells sweeter somehow—like even the earth is humming a quiet lullaby of forgiveness. The pink fruit still hangs beneath the Mother Tree’s highest branch, glowing softly each night as if it holds a tiny piece of dawn. Tobias, true to his word, becomes the happiest gardener anyone has ever seen. The first morning, he marched into the garden wearing gloves two sizes too big and a ridiculous straw hat that looked stolen from a scarecrow. “It’s called fashion,” he declared proudly. “Garden couture.” Rowan almost choked on his water. Elias laughed until he fell off the bench. Even Kevin—stern, composed Kevin—hid a smile behind his mug. Cassian only shook his head. “If the Goddess doesn’t strike him down for that hat, we might truly be forgiven.” But Tobias proved surprisingly dedicated. He learned the names of every plant by hea
