Semua Bab The Overweight Omega and Her Three Knights : Bab 61 - Bab 69

CHLOE For the first time in years, I dreamed of Aurelia again. Talon's words stirred something in me, hope. In the dream I had, Aurelia was still as beautiful as before. She stood in the middle of a field, her eyes dark as she stood dressed in the the same clothes she had worn on my birthday. Tears welled in my eyes as I watched her playing around the field. I stretched my hand forward about to touch her when suddenly, a loud noise erupted in my ears. The academy bell. I blinked awake at my desk, the harsh sunlight burning through the classroom windows. My head ached, my heart heavier than before. It was just a dream, but it clung to me like truth. Dragging myself through the hallways, I felt the stares again. Two boys appeared blocking my way near the lockers. They were from the hockey team, bigger, stronger. The type that liked to pick on weak people. “Well, look who it is,” one sneered, stepping too close. “The freak Omega. Heard you can sire wolves with your bloo

The ball shot over the net, my eyes locked on the player across from me. Sunlight poured down on the beach, warming the sand beneath our bare feet. Jett lunged with easy grace, his body cutting through the air as he sent the ball flying back toward me. I scrambled sideways, sand spraying under my toes, and barely managed to keep it in play. A laugh slipped out of me just as Kael dove across the court. His strong frame slammed into the sand, but he still managed to smack the ball over the net, a grin of victory stretched wide across his face. “You’re cheating,” I panted, bending forward with my hands braced on my knees. Kael only smirked, brushing sand from his arms. “Not cheating if I’m just better.” “Better?” Jett scoffed, tossing the ball into the air again. “You’d be nothing without my perfect set-ups.” “Perfectly annoying, maybe,” Kael shot back without missing a beat. Talon, who had been quietly watching from the edge of the court, finally moved. His hand caught the b

CHLOE Walking into the Academy felt different with Aurelia beside me. Heads turned the moment we stepped through the front doors. Whispers rose and fell like waves, curious eyes flicking toward the girl at my side. To them, she was just a stranger. Tall, striking, the kind of beautiful that made people stop mid-step. Her hair caught the morning light, her features sharp and almost too perfect, like she’d stepped out of a painting. I wanted to smile and shout, She’s mine. She’s my best friend. But I couldn’t. They weren’t supposed to know. “Who’s the new girl?” someone muttered behind us. “Transfer student?” another guessed. “Wow… she’s gorgeous.” Aurelia’s lips curved into a small smile, her chin lifting just enough to make it look like she’d expected the attention. My hand wrapped around her as we walked into class. Peyton was rubbing something on my seat when I arrived. The moment she saw me, she squabbled away like a mice running away. " She hasn't changed a single

Steele's shoulder clamped around mine as he wrapped his jacket around me. He was being a gentleman and I could see it. Every move he made was done with practiced charm, probably from experience of his ex girlfriends. The theater lights dimmed, washing everything in soft shadows but even then, I could feel his eyes lingering on me instead of the screen. My wolf stirred beneath my skin, restless. Her pacing heartbeat throbbed in my chest, louder than the surround sound of the movie. Every time Steele leaned closer, my body stiffened, like something deep inside me wanted to push him away. “You’re cold,” he whispered, adjusting the jacket tighter around me. “I’m fine,” I muttered, forcing a small smile. My fingers dug into the popcorn tub between us, pretending to care about the buttery kernels instead of the way my insides twisted. Steele chuckled softly, his arm brushing against mine. “You don’t always have to act tough, Chloe. At least when you're with me." His words should

AURELIA The cool night's air blazed against my skin as I stood staring at Steele. His bulging arms flexed as he dug the ground. I stared at Chloe, her body limp as she stayed unconscious. I crossed my arms, my nails digging into my skin. Steele worked in silence, his strength slicing through the earth with every strike, but my eyes never left Chloe. She had no idea. No idea that the person she called her best friend, the one she trusted was the same person who wanted her gone more than anyone else. " When will you be done, Steele?" I hissed, my temper flaring as I looked around. "What if she wakes up?" “Do you want to help?” Steele paused, staring at me. “Cause all I can see is you b***hing at me instead of helping me dig so we can be faster.” My lips curved into a cold smile. “You know I don’t get my hands dirty.” I turned back to Chloe. Her face looked so peaceful, like she was sleeping. She didn’t deserve peace. Not after everything I had lost. Not after Talon ripped m
