All Chapters of The Last Omega: Fated to the Cruel Alpha King: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

SUSAN Tomorrow was nights ago.It felt like they kept missing their way somehow out of the forest to the palace. The forest was alive in a way that made your skin crawl. Every snap of twig, every rustle of leaves made me flinch. I could feel it, their eyes. The Academy’s. Somewhere in the shadows, someone was following us. I didn’t know how many. I didn’t want to.Or maybe it wasn't the academy, I couldn't tell. We really were too exposed out here.Emma kept close, limping slightly from the last fight. I shot her a glance. Her jaw was set, her eyes sharp. She was exhausted, but she wouldn’t admit it. I couldn’t either. Not if we were going to make it to the palace.We had been running in circles for days now, moving mostly at night, resting only in brief pockets of darkness where we hoped the wind and trees would mask our scent. Every village we passed, every road we avoided, every footstep was calculated. We couldn’t leave traces. They were looking for us, and I knew it. I could fe

KYRA I shouldn’t have gone looking for him.That thought repeated in my mind as I stepped into the west courtyard, the place Zyran preferred when he wanted silence. The sun had dipped low, bleeding amber across the sky, casting long shadows over stone and ivy. He stood near the fountain, hands clasped behind his back, posture impossibly straight — like a king surveying land he already owned.I watched him before he noticed me.The controlled stillness, the faint scar across his neck. The way even the air seemed to bend around him.Power wasn’t something Zyran displayed. It was something he simply was.And today, I intended to test mine against his.There was no doubt he could already feel my presence, so I had no element of surprise to maybe catch him a little off guard.The Art of Seduction class replayed in my mind, eye contact, proximity, mirroring, influence. I’d practiced. I’d succeeded. I’d felt that intoxicating rush of someone reacting exactly how I wanted.But this wasn’t so

SUSAN The corridor outside the war room felt tenser than the rest of the palace.Quieter.Guards stationed at wider intervals. Torches burning brighter. Steel and discipline in the air.Emma and I stopped just before the final turn.My pulse pounded so hard it blurred my hearing.“This is it,” Emma whispered.I nodded once.No more hiding in storage rooms, no more shadows, no more running and getting attacked We stepped around the corner.Two guards stood at the double doors, tall, armored, alert.Their eyes dropped immediately to the blood staining our cloaks.Hands went to sword hilts.“Halt.”I stepped forward before Emma could speak.“We need to see the Alpha King,” I said, voice steady despite the tremor in my bones.“You’re in no state to make demands,” one guard replied coldly.“It’s not a demand,” I said quietly. “It’s a warning.”They exchanged a look.The door behind them opened before they could respond.A commander stepped out, irritation already on his face, until his g

KYRA The palace courtyard was louder than usual.Carriages lined the stone drive in polished rows — dark wood, silver crests, wolves carved into doors and etched into metal lantern frames. Horses stamped impatiently, their breath fogging in the evening air.The other Alphas had arrived.For me.For the selection.For tomorrow night.I descended the palace steps with the other girls, silk skirts whispering against marble, hair styled deliberately soft by the attendants. The Warden walked ahead of us like a proud architect admiring her finished structure.“Observe,” she said lightly, gesturing toward the carriages. “Power rarely travels alone.”Nicole snorted under her breath beside me.“Power,” she muttered. “Or overgrown ego with teeth.”I bit back a smile.One of the Alpha carriages bore a crest I didn’t recognize, a silver claw through a crescent moon. Another displayed a black wolf’s head snarling across the door.They were all here.Watching. Waiting. Evaluating who fo select. Th

KYRA The wind whipped my hair across my face, tangling in my lashes, biting at my cheeks. My arms were bound behind me, rope digging into my wrists, and the edge of the cliff yawned below like a hungry mouth waiting to swallow me whole. Eve stood mere feet away, calm and terrifying, like she owned not just this cliff, but the world itself.“You have no idea what you’ve done, Kyra,” Eve said, her voice smooth, deadly, a whisper that cut through the roaring wind. “Messing with me… angering me… it’s the biggest mistake of your life.”I swallowed against the dry lump in my throat. Did I flinch? Maybe a fraction, but only because the height was dizzying, and my body screamed at me to run, to throw myself into nothingness just to escape her. But my brain, stubborn as hell, screamed louder: not today. Not for her. Not ever.“You think this scares me?” I spat, the wind catching my words and carrying them straight to her. My heart pounded like a war drum, and yeah, maybe part of me wanted to
