All Chapters of fangs and fire: The omega's fate : Chapter 11 - Chapter 19

The soft morning light spilled through the curtains, brushing against my face until my eyes fluttered open. I blinked twice, adjusting to the brightness. It had been a few days since I moved into this new room, and I had to admit—it was far more comfortable than my last. Warmer. Quieter. Almost… safe. I was still tangled in the sheets when the door creaked open. “Good morning, Lila,” Clawdia’s voice carried on, calm and warm as ever. “Good morning, Clawdia. How was your night?” “It was fine,” she replied with a small smile as she stepped closer, balancing a tray that smelled like pure heaven. “Are you ready for breakfast?” The sight made my stomach answer for me. Warm bread, neat slices of fruit, and a small pot of tea,simple, but after the last few days, it felt like a feast. I swung my legs over the bed, the cold floor nipping at my feet as she set the tray by the window. “You spoil me,” I murmured, settling into the chair. “Everyone deserves a decent breakfast,” she

Thane’s POV After the meeting with Ethan and the elders, I realized they’re no longer pleased with him not having a Lunar. I wonder why they’re putting so much pressure on him. Isn’t it already enough that he’s facing trouble from the Moonfang Clan? Unfortunately, I couldn’t help when I should have. But then… it wasn’t intentional. How could I even tell him that I lost focus because of… some girl? That sounds ridiculous, and yet it’s the truth. Still, I don’t know why I even worry about him. He’s no good. I can’t believe that wicked soul killed my mother. And as if that wasn’t enough, he still went ahead and took what was mine. That throne belongs to me. I am supposed to be Alpha, but he selfishly took it away. I can never forgive him. I don’t mean to hate, but I can’t help it. He’s done more evil than good. While I was still drowning in those thoughts, I heard a knock and Lupus, my guard, entered. “My lord, Beta Maverick is within the hall,” he said with a bow. “Maverick?”

– Ethan’s POV It’s another morning, but I couldn’t sleep a wink throughout the night. I only tossed around on my bed, restless. My head feels heavier than my body — as if every burden of the clan has decided to settle on me at once. Maverick’s return isn’t ordinary. I know he’s back for a reason, and nothing about it feels pleasant. Then there’s the Council’s address. They’ll try to push me, force me into decisions I don’t want to make. I need to find my mate soon, but how? And on top of that, the Silvermoon Pack still refuses to bend, even after Thane’s attempts. All of it together… It's too much. I sat up, dragging a hand across my face. And yet, my mind drifted to her. Lila. The way I first met her, the way her scent clung to me in the woods… and now, the way she looked at me yesterday. Why am I even thinking about her now? Maybe she can be your comfort, a voice answered inside me. I froze. My chest tightened. It’s been ten years since I last heard that voice. “Akira?” I whi

Lila’s POV“We would like to be excused.” Ethan’s voice was firm as he led me into the hallway.I could barely process what had just happened. Why was Thane here? And what did Ethan mean by ‘Beta Thane’?Ethan’s hand was still gripping mine, warm but too tight, and I noticed it only when I stopped walking. I pulled free from his hold and turned to face him.“What was that?” I asked, my voice sharper than I intended.His jaw tightened, his golden eyes burning. “I promised to always protect you. That is what I was doing.”“Protecting me? From who? From what?”“From danger, of course.” His voice was low, almost a growl. “It is dangerous to be around him.”“Why?”Something flickered in his eyes, something darker than anger. Instead of answering, his tone snapped like a whip. “Do not question me. You should know I decide what is best for you.”There we go again. He couldn’t have a calm conversation without reminding me of his superiority.I turned to leave, unwilling to let him cage me wi

Thane’s POV When I returned to my quarters, I told myself my wolf was only restless because of the familiar scent — not because of anything deeper. Still, questions clawed at me, circling in my mind like vultures. Could it be that Lila is Ethan’s mate? No, impossible. If that were true, the entire kingdom would know by now, and the Elders would never have hounded him about taking a Luna. Then what was it? Because the way she looked at him… it wasn’t love. And Ethan — he isn’t the type to bend because of a girl. So what in the gods’ names is happening here? “How about you stop circling and just ask her?” Kael, my wolf, muttered from the back of my mind. I frowned, pacing. Ask her. Right. And how was I supposed to get close enough for that? My gaze snagged on the basket in the corner of my room, where a few scrolls lay waiting. Slowly, an idea formed. I sat at my desk, dipped my quill, and began to write. > Hi, Lila. How have you been? It’s good to see you again. I don’t want t
