All Chapters of The Alpha's Despised Omega: Chapter 31 - Chapter 38

The sacred ground was alive by mid afternoon, with the pack’s ritual field transformed into a wonderful spectacle of banners, fire pits, and long tables filled with lavish food. The aroma roasting meats, and spiced wine filled the air, while traditional drums echoed in the background as if anticipating the coming night. Elegantly dressed pack members chatted and laughed, each bearing their family crests on their ceremonial attires. Everyone was filled with expectation as the sacred full moon ceremony was not only tradition, but the identity of the Nightshade pack… the night when the bond between wolf and pack was renewed under the heavens.Elena's arrival was another surprising addition to the glamour already on display. She had on a very delicate and beautiful black gown that glittered like precious stones, and a lovely pearl necklace expensive enough to buy a small mansion. Even her hair that had been unkempt for weeks was perfectly made up, and she looked very much like the mate of

The sacred grounds trembled with anticipation as the moon climbed higher, shedding its silver light across the clearing like the eyes of the goddess herself. Midnight was approaching, and the soft murmurs of the pack had slowed into reverent silence, broken only by the occasional rhythmic chant of the priests and priestesses summoning a power older than the stones that marked the ritual circle.Elena watched on in silence. Despite her stunning look that made her presence impossible to ignore, she still felt small and out of place like a rough stone in the middle of a river that never accepted her flow. Everyone else’s eyes were alive with feverish devotion, their breathing flowing with the tempo of the chants while she alone stood apart.Her heart felt heavy as it seemed to get worse. She scanned the sea of bodies, seeing that every man, woman, and child of the pack had their heads lifted, with their lips murmuring along with the priests, and their eyes half closed as if the goddess h

Damon was watching with so much interest now, and that made Nyla even more angry as she attacked again.“Are you preparing to shift, Elena?” She mocked without mercy. “Has the Alpha's charity case finally found her wolf? Because that’s all she is. Damon’s pitiful human plaything. A doll simply dressed up to stand by his side, nothing more.”“Shut your bloody mouth, Nyla,” Elena screamed at her again, boiling with anger while desperately hoping it was her wolf stirring inside her. “Or what, little weakling?” Nyla sneered wickedly at her. “Will you cry again? Will you run away and hide in your room like you always do?”Elena’s scowl deepened, and she lifted her chin as she boldly yelled. “I said, shut up!”The sudden sharpness in her tone hushed some of the murmurs, but Nyla and Lucia only grinned, baring their teeth in amusement.Elena’s hands trembled, but she forced her voice not to waver. “You think you’re strong because you can shift? Because you hide behind fangs and claws? You’r

Elena clutched her head, trying to locate the source of the voice, but it was coming from within her.“Elena!” Damon’s voice thundered again through the chaos, but he did not move closer. His instincts warned him not to, warning that what stood on that altar was no longer just the broken girl of moments ago, but something… sacred.She was rising.The silence that followed was so absolute it felt like the very earth had forgotten how to breathe. The entire ceremonial grounds that had been filled with jeers, cruel laughter, and the scornful voices of Nyla, Lucia and the members of the pack that hated Elena now trembled under a force none of them could understand. Elena’s body… battered, bloodied, and broken was no longer sprawled helplessly against the altar.She was suspended in midair, glowing with a blinding radiance, as if the moon itself had descended to reclaim her. Her eyes that had once been dulled by pain were now open, and what stared back at them was not a wolfless girl anym
