All Chapters of Dominion Academy: Rise of The Omega : Chapter 41 - Chapter 45

I couldn't sleep.That wasn't new. Sleep had been a negotiation since I arrived at Dominion — my body too alert, my wolf too restless, my brain running laps around every close call and every near-miss until my mind shut down from the stress of thinking. But tonight was worse.The bell. The missing student. Severus's face when Cassian put him in the dirt, that specific look of someone who'd wanted to lose, who'd needed a reason to say something he couldn't say standing up.I pulled on a jacket, grabbed my wolfsbane, took my dose to avoid detection or any other close calls, and slipped out.Cassian wasn't around, which meant I was free to do what I wanted without his interference.The rooftop access was technically off-limits after curfew. The lock on the door had been broken since the second week and nobody had fixed it, which either meant maintenance was slow or someone with authority wanted students to have somewhere to go when the walls got too close.I pushed the door open and ste

Val’s scent haunted me, that sweet trace slipping through his wolfsbane in the locker room yesterday, his arm warm under my fingers as I wiped away blood. I couldn’t sleep, my wolf pacing, the bond burning like a storm I couldn’t control. Headmaster Rin’s warning rang: “You will fall with him.” I tossed in my bed as I wondered where Val was, the moonlight spilling through the window.Unable to stay still, I climbed to the Observatory Rooftop, the night wind cool, but his scent followed, a ghost that kept me up, my mind racing with flashes of his blue eyes, his stubborn glare.I leaned on the railing, the stars sharp above, when shouts from the Training Deck caught my ear. I peered down, my heart kicking—Val was sparring, his small frame dodging a Vesper student’s swing. Her posture was off, too elegant, not the brute dominance of an alpha. My wolf growled, protective, and I gripped the railing, my eyes glued to her. She moved like a dancer, precise, clever, her Rank 34 earned throug

I froze on the garden balcony, Raven's words hitting me like a slap. "Let’s not pretend I don’t know a lie when I smell it." Her smirk was cold, as she stared at me with an intensity that made me feel naked, her eyes raking over me like she could see through my disguise. My heart pounded, my hands shaking as I clutched the book Lyra and I had stolen from the basement. She’d caught me, at a very bad time and I didn't know how I would get out of this situation when I was barely holding on. Cain’s close call earlier, his sniff too near, had left me rattled, and now this? I backed up, my eyes narrowing on her."What do you want, Raven?" I asked again, my voice steady but my stomach twisting. She stepped closer, her aura pressing, all alpha confidence and pride."You’re hiding something," she said, her tone low, mocking. "And Cassian’s protecting you. Why?" My breath caught, Cassian’s favor, his lie during the raid, flashed in my mind. The mate bond tugged, warm and unwelcome, but I sh
