Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Last Omega: Fated to the Cruel Alpha King: Kabanata 181 - Kabanata 190

SUSAN The guards changed every twelve minutes, I had been counting.Breaths. Footsteps. The rhythm of their patrol. The slight pause when they stopped near the far torch. The way one of them dragged his right foot just a little when he turned.Patterns.Everything had a pattern.And patterns could be broken.“Next shift,” I murmured under my breath.Emma glanced at me from where she leaned against the wall, arms crossed.“You’ve been saying that for the last three rotations.”“This time I mean it.”She pushed off the wall slowly.“That’s reassuring.”I ignored the sarcasm and tilted my head slightly, listening.Footsteps.Two guards this time.Good.The ones who came in pairs were easier to predict.I stepped closer to the bars, lowering my voice.“When they pass, stay near the wall.”Emma raised an eyebrow.“And then what?”I didn’t answer immediately.Because timing mattered, If we got this wrong—We wouldn’t get another chance.The footsteps drew closer steadily and unawareI glan

KYRA The silence after he left was louder than anything he’d said.The cell door shut with a dull clang, and just like that, I was alone again.Alone with his words.It was Susan.I stared at the wall for a long time.I didn’t move. Didn’t breathe properly. Didn’t think… not at first because if I thought—If I really let myself think, then I might start believing him.And that was dangerous.“No,” I whispered to the empty cell.My voice sounded smaller than I felt.“He’s lying." He had to beJacelet was a manipulator, a liar, a man who thrived on twisting the truth.He wanted me to doubt.I pushed myself to my feet, pacing the small space despite the ropes still binding my wrists.But then—A memory slipped in.Uninvited.Susan disappearing for hours without explanation.Susan knowing things she shouldn’t.Susan always… watching.I stopped pacing, my chest tightened.No.That didn’t mean anything.It didn’t. Right?I clenched my jaw hard enough it hurt. “He’s lying,” I said again, lo

KYRA They didn’t return me to the cell.That was the first thing that felt wrong.The second,They didn’t blindfold me.Which meant one thing.They wanted me to see where I was going or worse,....they didn’t care if I did.The guards led me through a different set of corridors this time, wider and quieter. The kind of place where decisions were made and never questioned.My chains clinked softly with every step.A reminder that I was being controlled, contained and watched.We stopped in front of a pair of tall doors then one of the guards pushed them open.“Inside.” he ordered I stepped in.And immediately felt it.Pressure.Not physical.Something heavier.Like walking into a room where the air itself was enough to scare you.A long table stretched across the center. Figures sat along it, cloaked in shadow and dim light, their faces partially hidden, their presence unmistakable.Power, real power.Not loud.Not showy.Just absolute.The council of the academy.So this was them.My

SUSAN Something was wrong with Kyra.I noticed it the moment we settled into the abandoned room.It wasn’t just the silence, I was used to silence. The academy taught me how to live inside it, how to breathe through it, and how to hear danger inside it.But this silence was different.Kyra sat across from me, her back against the stone wall, her knees drawn slightly inward. Her fingers twisted the hem of her sleeve slowly, unconsciously, like she didn’t even realize she was doing it.She hadn’t spoken in minutes.Emma leaned against the doorway, shadows curling lazily around her like smoke that refused to settle. Rune sat bound on the floor, his back pressed to the wall, his eyes flickering between all of us like he was trying to understand what kind of disaster he’d been dragged into and how best to unleash his.I leaned back, crossing my arms, watching Kyra carefully.She was too quiet.Kyra was never this quiet.Even when she was scared, she moved. She asked questions. She looked

KYRA I stepped out before I could think better of it.The movement was sudden, sharp, and all three of them turned at once.Jacelet’s eyes landed on me first.For a moment, surprise flickered across his face.Then he smiled.“Well,” he said softly. “That was easier than I expected.”The guards immediately straightened, their hands moving toward their weapons.My heart pounded, but I didn’t stop walking.I stepped forward slowly, my gaze locked on him.“You’ve been looking for me,” I said quietly.Jacelet tilted his head, studying me like I was something interesting.“And you came to me,” he murmured. “How convenient.”The guards moved slightly, positioning themselves between us.I didn’t care.“How predictable from a man that killed my mother.”The words came out sharp just as I intended.Jacelet’s smile widened slightly.“I gave the order,” he corrected calmly.My chest tightened.“She protected you,” he added softly, "Did you know that?"Something inside me twisted painfully.My fi
