Alle Kapitel von Omega Bound: Kapitel 61 – Kapitel 70

RonanThe chamber lights flicker almost eerily as I try to open my eyes, Elias knocked me out when we got to the chamber door.As I tug on the cuffs holding my wrist, it doesn't budge at all.They are reinforced with silver and biting into my wrist. Above me, I hear something hit stone, hard, and I close my eyes.Kieran, his pulse, spiking and straining.Fenir is also awake. I can feel it in the way my heartbeat answers. They didn't soundproof this chamber well enough.“Distracted already?” Auriel’s voice drifts across the open space.I open my eyes, and now he stands at the foot of the reinforced table I'm chained to, hands folded behind his back.Expression composed, looking clinical and curious.“You hear something?” He asks, distracted fishing for information.“No.” I lie. His gaze lingers on my face a moment longer, and he walks off.A technician comes by with gloved hands checking the state of the locks, not my bruised wrists.A needle slides into my vein with efficient precisio

KIERANThe lower chamber doors finish opening with a slow hissing sound. You can hear a pin drop from the silence in the courtyard.Auriel comes outside standing at the threshold, hands folded behind his back, expression almost pleasant like he won a lottery or something.Without hesitation. “Alpha Vale,” he says smoothly, voice carrying across stone and walls alike. “ You will report first for the test, as a gesture of cordial respect, and belief in the structure put in place by the elders.”An evil standard disguised as courtesy.Of course, I get to go first. A guard steps forward to guide me in.Dax shifts instantly. “He doesn't go alone.”Elias's voice rings out from behind Auriel. “Stand down, Dax Rain.” Dax's jaw tightens, but he obeys.I don't resist or fight , just stepping forward into the big bad wolf's lair. If this is what they want, they'll have it, freely given or forcefully taken.The walk down into the chamber is colder than ever. The air thickens with disinfectant an

RONANAs the question lands, I don't react because I don't understand why that question was directed to me. Behind me, Kieran groans, low and strained.he hasn't given in to them, I feel him in my chest like a spine along my own.His heartbeat still beats in tandem to mine.Auriel tilts his head slightly. “You're trembling,” he observes in a curious tone. “That's interesting for someone who claims to be an Alpha.”“I'm not trembling,” I reply evenly, hiding my fear.Elias gives a short, humorless laugh from beside the monitor. “You really don't know, do you?”I don't look at him.Auriel steps closer, close enough that I can see the fine lines at the corners of his eyes, the calculations beneath the calm.“You perfume for him,” he says quietly. “A sprinkle of dominance here and there, but you don't challenge him.”His gaze sharpens. “ You stabilize him too.” I breathe through my mouth to stop myself from hyperventilating.“You're mistaken, Sir.” “No,” he murmurs. “I rarely am.”Behind

KIERAN Snow, that is what I wake up into, not at school but the pain of frostbite. It falls in an endless cycle all about me, no atom of colour, just pure, white snow.It gathers on my lashes, melts against my skin, my feet are bare, and numb, my shoulders hurt too.I look back, and there's blood trailing behind me as I drag my broken body through it.Fighting to move on wards, in my arms is precious cargo, I look down as I see him, blonde hair tangled with frost, my torn jacket acting as a scarf for him, green eyes too bright against his skin, as his lips had gone pale from the cold.He's shaking so hard his teeth click together, but he's trying not to cry. I know those eyes, but I can’t place them.but I know them regardless.He smells like home.“I choose you.” He says his voice, thin, fragile, his neck is bare to me, a voice in the back of my head is telling me to take what he's offering.I stop at the bottom of a tall tree that acts as a canopy from the snow, and my fangs descen

KIERAN When I wake up on the infirmary bed, the scent of Cedar lingers around, and I smile. Ronan must've been here. Maybe he left to get something.Fenir stirs at the back of my mind, murmuring weakly to find him.I'm discharged in the next thirty minutes, and going back to the dorms to Ronan is the highlight of my day.On getting their , the absence of his presence around me nearly turned me feral.By morning, he's nowhere in sight, he doesn't sleep in our room anymore, his bed is untouched, I hear from Finn that he's been staying with Ethan.Finding him in class has been a hassle, but when I finally see him, he looks thin, paler than usual, like he hasn't been sleeping either.When I speak to address the class, he turns away, and when our eyes almost meet, he looks at me but looks through me at the same time, like I'm glass.Every time he does it, it feels like a blade sliding through my skin. Fenrir paces restlessly inside me, claws scraping bone. Something is terribly wrong. Th
