Semua Bab The Omega Queen: Bab 31 - Bab 36

Helen's POV Tomorrow, the entire pack would witness Drey mark me as his mate, a final, binding promise. The power I had fought tooth and nail for would finally be mine. But there was one thread left to cut. Clarissa.I stood and moved to the mirror, adjusting the crimson wrap that hugged my frame. My reflection stared back with cold determination. The glow of victory glinted in my eyes, but it was not complete. Not until she was silenced forever.Clarissa had always been a thorn, one that somehow kept piercing despite the odds. From the moment Drey took a liking to her, everything shifted; the way he looked at her, and even the way the pack revered her. I had tried to make him forget her, to turn his heart away with illusions and dreams, but the bond between them pulsed like a stubborn root beneath the surface. He resisted my touch more each day, as though something unseen reminded him of her.Even now, with the spell clouding his judgment, Clarissa lingered in his thoughts. I saw i

Clarissa's POV Darkness. That was the world I had come to know in captivity. My eyes, though open, saw nothing. The blindness was complete now, not just physical, but spatial. There were no lights, no torches nor sounds aside from the clinking of chains when I moved too suddenly. The scent of mold and stale blood filled the air, and yet my nose had grown numb to it.

This would be no different.Still, the fear gnawed at me.Not for myself but for Drey.Whatever spell Helen had woven around him, it was deep and venomous. I could feel it in the stiffness of his voice

Drey's POV I stood at the edge of the training field, watching the warriors stretch and warm up, but my eyes weren’t really on them. My mind was elsewhere racing, burdened and angry.The fog in my thoughts had lifted since Camelia’s ritual. Her words echoed in my head still:“When your mind clears, you’ll see not only what was hidden but what you chose to ignore.”Now, I could see everything; the lies, and the manipulation. The silence in Clarissa’s eyes the last time I saw her and how she had tried so hard to hide her pain. And I? I had pushed her away. I had defended Helen. I had doubted Clarissa.I could barely live with that truth.I hadn’t slept the night before. Instead, I spent hours going through the security logs from the day Clarissa disappeared. I pulled warriors aside, especially those close to Helen. I did not do it in front of others, I did it formally and quietly. I spoke with them one by one.A few stayed loyal to Helen, eyes blank and mouths shut.But two of th
