All Chapters of The Omega’s Rise: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

The Road to Lumen Eris’s Pov I looked at the tattered map of Lumen park. I needed to know every corner of the park. This is my chance and I need to be careful. I gripped it as if it were the last lung in a vacuum. Studying how to enter without being noticed. "You really think you'll get past the Borderlands?" a voice rasped from my back. I turned without stopping to walk. "You underestimated me, Kael. Just watch and see." Kael walked in front, his mechanical eye was whirring as it focused on my lean hard face. "The Scavenger Alpha has scouts every three miles. They don't like trespassers, especially ones with eyes that look like yours. They see blood when they look at you." "Then they should look away," I replied, checking the pulse-blade strapped to my forearm. "I have a schedule to keep." "Malcolm will kill you before you even see the gates," Kael warned, spitting a glob of black oil onto the dry earth. I paused, crunching my boots on glass. "Malcolm is the reason I’m still b

Eris POV I walked inside and immediately shut down the door. I didn't want any guards or maids passing to see me. I have come too far to fail. I stood by the kids cradle, watching the kids sleep soundly. I was there when they gave birth to them, I was there when they started crawling. Looking at the kids I nurtured, kids that used to sleep on my chest now far from me. Break my heart. Just as I touched one of the baby’s cheeks, she stirred awake. “Who’s that?” a voice behind me questioned. I gently brought out my dagger, hiding it behind my back and slowly I turned. She widened her eyes when she didn't recognize my face. And opened her mouth to scream but I rushed and closed her mouth. “Do not scream,” I whispered. Her eyes flew open instantly. The nanny’s body stiffened beneath my grip as my hand clamped over her mouth, dragging her upright before a sound could escape. Her breath hit my palm in frantic bursts, her eyes wide and wet with terror as she stared at me. “Please,” sh

The Breaking Point Eris POV “Keep moving,” I said quietly. My voice sounded calmer than I felt. The forest answered me with silence. Night had fully settled now, and the trees pressed closer together as if they were listening or maybe covering us. Cold crept into my bones with every step I took. The air smelled damp, sharp, and alive. I wanted to stop for the kids to rest, but I couldn't. I wanted to get to my destination before the scouts started patrolling. “I cannot carry her anymore,” the nanny said behind me, with her voice breaking. “Please. She is shaking. Stop hurting them, they are innocent.” “I am cold,” the girl whimpered weakly as if she was waiting for their nanny to first speak. “My feet hurt. I am tired.” Then she began to cry. The boy sniffed loudly, dragging his torn slippers across the ground. “I want my daddy. I want my mummy. Why are you doing this? Daddy will find you.” I did not answer. Their nags were seriously annoying me but I was still trying to keep m

Lines That Cannot Be Crossed Eris POV “Bring them inside,” the woman said, in a tight voice. Mary hesitated, looking at me first. I gave a short nod. “Go,” I said. The woman stepped aside and ushered them into the cabin quickly, no matter how bright she tried to look, she still couldn't hide the fear and tension in her face. The children clung to Mary as they crossed the threshold. The girl glanced back at me again, looking uncertain. I did not follow them immediately. I just stood outside observing and making sure nobody tailed us. When I finally entered, the air inside the cabin felt heavier than the forest outside. Both the sharp-mouth kids and their nanny were all mute. The woman barred the door and turned on me, her eyes were blazing with anger. “You have crossed a line,” she said. “A line that cannot be erased. Do you know what you’ve done?” “They are safe,” I replied. “That is more than most can say. And yes, I know exactly what I am doing.” “Safe?” she snapped. “You

The First Plan Eris POV “We move. Now.” That was all I said before turning away from the cabin. Everyone answered with quiet obedience, they understood the urgency in my voice without waiting for an explanation. Rose was already signaling them, splitting directions with sharp hand movements. The woman of the woods did not argue this time. She simply pulled her cloak tighter and urged the nanny and the children to march forward. Mary held the girl’s hand firmly. The boy stayed close to her side, glancing back at me more than once. Maybe he was wondering what I was up to. Such a smart boy. “Where are we going?” he asked, his voice sounded small but sharp and his eyes were filled with curiosity. “Somewhere safer,” Mary answered gently while rubbing his head but he didn't look satisfied with her answer. Mary was really doing a good job with the kids. She didn't even know where we were going yet she assured him it was safe. She was gradually capturing my heart in a way I didn't like
