The last omega Chapter 11 —A Chance for Balance
Irene The dining room smells like roasted garlic and warm bread, and for once my hands don’t shake when I reach for a second helping. The long table is crowded with bowls and plates and elbows and laughter. I sit between them—Cassian on my right, Elias across from me, Rowan diagonally at the corner, Kevin at the end—and it feels like slipping into a story I never thought I’d be allowed to read. “Careful with that gravy, sweetheart,” Cassian murmurs, nudging the saucer toward me. “It has a mind of its own.” “Like you,” Elias says, deadpan, then lifts his brows at me. “Tell her what you did on patrol.” Cassian stabs a potato. “Absolutely not.” Rowan’s mouth quirks. “Oh, I’ll tell it.” “No, you won’t,” Cassian warns, already failing to hide a grin. Elias leans forward on his forearms. “He tried to jump the creek. Misjudged. Went in like a rock. I considered a rescue but—” “You laughed until you cried,” Rowan supplies. “I did not cry,” Elias says, perfectly serious. “My
The last omega Chapter 10 – Wolves in the Forest
Irene Lunch ends with empty plates and warm smiles. Rowan is still grumbling about Elias stealing the last piece of bread when Cassian clears his throat. His eyes find mine across the table, calm but direct. “Irene,” he says, “would you like to take a walk with me? Maybe let your wolf stretch her legs.” The question takes me by surprise. My heart skips. Then I nod. “Yes. I’d like that.” I pause, then add softly, “Her name is Aria.” A flicker of something—approval, maybe pride—crosses his face. “Aria,” he repeats, as if testing the sound. “Strong name.” We leave the house together, the air outside fresh with pine and damp earth. The sun filters through tall trees, painting the path in shifting patches of gold and green. The forest hums with quiet life: birds calling, branches swaying, the rustle of small animals in the underbrush. At the edge of the woods, Cassian slows. “Ready?” I take a breath. “Always.” The shift comes easy. My skin tingles, bones stretching, muscles reshap
The last omega Chapter 9 – Lunch Together
Irene By the time the food is on the table, I’ve almost forgotten the state of the kitchen. Rowan and I are still brushing flour from our clothes when the others come in. Kevin stops in the doorway, eyes widening at the sight of us. “What… happened to you two?” Rowan smirks, straightening his shoulders like a soldier proud of battle scars. “Victory,” he says. “Sweet, messy victory.” Cassian raises one brow. “You look like you lost.” “Correction,” Elias adds dryly, glancing at the streak of sauce still on my cheek. “You both look like you lost.” Heat rushes to my face, and I swipe at the sauce too late. Rowan laughs so hard he nearly doubles over. “It was a tactical skirmish,” he says between breaths. “The food survived. That’s what matters.” Kevin shakes his head, smiling as he pulls out a chair for me. “You two are unbelievable.” We sit around the long table, the sunlight pouring in from the tall windows, the plates of food filling the air with warmth and spice. For a momen
The last omega Chapter 8 – Laughter in the Kitchen
Irene We step out of the dusty room, my arms still holding the bundle of clothes. I think the air might be lighter in the hallway, but maybe it’s me. Rowan stretches his arms above his head like he’s been waiting for the right moment. “So,” he says, turning toward me with a sly grin, “how do you feel about cooking lunch… with me?” Heat climbs into my cheeks before I can stop it. Cooking? With him? The thought feels strangely… normal. “I… I’d like that,” I admit. “Perfect.” He claps his hands together as if I’ve just agreed to spar with him in the training yard. “Come on. Let’s see if you can handle a kitchen as well as you handled your Goddess.” Elias rolls his eyes. “Try not to burn the place down.” “I only burn things on purpose,” Rowan shoots back. Cassian mutters something about reports and disappears down the hall. Kevin takes the bundle of clothes from me, careful not to drop the shawl draped on top. “I’ll wash these. You’ll have them tonight,” he promises before heading
The last omega Chapter 7 – A Room Left Behind
Irene After breakfast, they don’t let me lift a finger. Cassian gathers the tray, Rowan teases that I’ll grow spoiled, and Kevin just hums as he sets things back in order. Elias is the one who says, “There’s something we should show you.” I hesitate. “What is it?” He glances at the others. “The last room of the last woman in our pack. It hasn’t been touched for over a hundred years.” The words sink into me like cold water. Still, I nod. “Show me.” They lead me down a hallway I haven’t walked before. The floorboards creak, and sunlight spills through tall windows. When Cassian pushes the door open, dust rises in a soft cloud, as if the room has been holding its breath for a century. I step inside slowly. The air smells faintly of cedar and old fabric. The bed is smaller than theirs, carved with flowers along the frame. A pale dress still hangs on a peg by the wardrobe, its hem faded and yellowed with time. A brush rests on the dresser, strands of dark hair still tangled in the b
The last omega Chapter 6 – The Dream of the Goddess
Irene The trembling lingers long after the nightmare fades. I’m pressed against the headboard, a glass of water in my hands, the four of them close enough to anchor me without smothering me. Elias is the first to break the silence. “Tell us,” he says softly. “What did you see?” I draw in a shaky breath. My voice is fragile, but the truth burns too fiercely to keep hidden. “It wasn’t just a dream. The Mother Goddess came to me. She… she showed me why women are gone.” Their eyes sharpen. Rowan’s usual smirk is gone; Cassian’s posture stiffens. Kevin leans closer, as if he fears missing a single word. “She showed me the past,” I whisper. “I saw women… girls… like me. Hunted. Chased down as if they were prey. Beaten until they couldn’t stand. I saw men reject their fated mates, again and again. They threw them aside for rank, for power, for lust. The ones they didn’t reject…” My stomach twists. “…they used them. As slaves. As breeders. Locked away, forced to bear children without lo
