Alle Kapitel von Omega Rebellion: Shadows Of Power: Kapitel 21 – Kapitel 30

POV: NovaAfter the claiming ritual, the air didn't go back to normal.Like smoke that wouldn't go away after a fire, it hung around heavy and uneasy. I could feel it pushing against my skin everywhere I went. Wolves either looked away from me or stared at me too closely. Omegas whispered behind hands and sleeves, fear mixed with something much more dangerous.Hope.Hope was a spark that could set a pack on fire if it wasn't handled carefully.I could feel Kael's eyes on me long before I saw him again. It followed me as I walked through the pack grounds with baskets of dried herbs from the storage den to the infirmary. It stayed with me when I knelt down to clean up a scrape on a younger Omega's arm. When I straightened my back a little more than usual and wouldn't look down, it weighed on me.I had knelt down for the ceremony, but I hadn't bowed.It made a difference.The new order was made public by noon.All Omegas were only allowed to do tasks inside the pack. No moving across the

POV: NovaThe fighting didn't make the forest quiet.It just sounded different.There had been snarls and crashing bodies just a moment ago, but now there were groans, hurried footsteps, and the sharp intake of breath that came after pain. There was a lot of smoke between the trees from the disturbed ground and broken bark. Fear stayed with me longer than blood.As I moved, I could feel it pressing against my skin.The Omegas were spread out across the inner grounds. Some were crouched where they had fallen, while others stood still, as if they weren't sure if the danger had really passed. Betas' orders cut through the noise, but they didn't help the shaking hands or wide eyes.I heard it then.A thin, broken scream.It came from the area around the fallen supply shed at the edge of the clearing, where the first shock of the fight had spread through the pack. I didn't think. I ran.The hurt Omega was half pinned under a fallen beam, and his leg was bent at an angle that made my stomac

POV: NovaAt night, the forest is not quiet. Not really. There is a pulse that beats under the ground, in the bark of the old trees, and in the hidden burrows where small animals run around, even when the wind dies and the leaves stay still. We could take that pulse tonight or destroy it.I moved through the underbrush carefully, with each step planned and each rustle of leaves hidden by instinct. The shadows felt like an old cloak around me, safe and familiar. I only had a bag with some supplies and the burden of responsibility that had gotten heavier every day.There was no Alpha or Beta in the clearing we had picked weeks before. Lyra and the others were waiting there. Moonlight shone through the branches, making the floor covered in moss look silver. The smell of wet dirt and fallen leaves mixed with the thick, heavy tension in the air.They had come, even though it was dangerous. That was a win in and of itself.I put the group in a circle, with their faces half-hidden in shadows

POV: NovaThe first light of dawn came through the trees, cutting through the forest like blades of light. I stood in the middle of the clearing with my hands on my hips and my eyes moving over the group of Omegas that had gathered in a hesitant formation. The morning dew made the air smell like wet earth and leaves, and there was a strong sense of anticipation. Every breath I took was intentional, reminding me of the heavy burden I was carrying and giving me a sense of purpose."Focus," I said, my voice steady but firm, and it carried across the clearing. "Every step matters. Every move counts. If we are found out, mistakes will cost lives.I picked this quiet spot because it was out of sight of the patrolling Betas and the Alphas who were curious about what was going on. It also had enough natural obstacles to make it feel like real combat. Fallen logs, twisted roots, and thick underbrush would all be good places to train. The Omegas looked at me with a mix of fear, awe, and determi

POV: LyraThe forest had never felt so alive with tension. Every rustle, every snapping twig, every distant call of a bird seemed to carry a warning I could not ignore. I pressed myself against the thick trunk of an ancient oak, ears straining to catch even the faintest shift in the wind. My heart pounded with an urgency I could hardly contain. This was no longer a game, no longer an exercise in caution or subtlety. The rival pack had crossed the threshold. They were here, inside our borders, and they were testing us.I had spotted them first. Small shapes, shadows between trees, moving with precision, almost like predators more than scouts. My stomach tightened as I tracked their silent approach, calculating the risk with every step. They were not aimless. Their movements were deliberate, methodical. Every gap I noticed, every open patch in the foliage, seemed to have been studied, marked. They were mapping us, learning our strengths, identifying weaknesses. And worse, they had come
