All Chapters of Forsaken Omega: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

IVY POV. I slammed the door behind me, hard. The sound echoed down the quiet hallway, and for a second I just stood there, staring at the wood like it had personally offended me while my hand still being on the handle and my heart was beating fast. I hated that he still had this control over me Years of distance, and somehow a single conversation with him still managed to leave me shaken. I pushed myself away from the door and walked down the hall. The guest wing was quiet. Most of Lucian’s warriors were already moving around the compound, preparing for our departure. I could hear boots in the distance, low voices, the sound of weapons being checked. Good. The sooner we left Ironhaven, the better for me and all of us When I reached the room Lucian had been, the door was slightly open. I checked and he was inside. Lucian sat at the small table near the window, studying a map spread across the surface. Two of his warriors stood nearby, speaking quietly with him. The m

LUCIAN POV The courtyard was already moving when I stepped outside. men talking in low voices, boots scraping stone. The quiet sound of weapons being checked and strapped into place. Nothing loud, nothing dramatic. Just the kind of preparation warriors make when they don’t want to attract attention. We were leaving Ironhaven;sooner than planned. Kade, my beta, noticed me first and walked over, adjusting the strap of the sword on his back. “Everything’s ready,” he said. “Horses are set. We’re taking the eastern road like you said.” I nodded “Good.” He glanced toward the guest wing. “And Ivy?” “She’s with the children.” Kade scratched the side of his jaw. “The girl shouldn’t be traveling yet.” “I know.” But staying here was worse. Kade didn’t argue, he understood and left. Across the courtyard, a few more of our warriors were bringing the horses forward. The animals snorted quietly in the cold night air. Ironhaven was too quiet and that bothered me Normally

(LUCIAN POV) For a few seconds, no one moved. The road was blocked. Ironhaven warriors stood shoulder to shoulder with spears raised, their wolves close to the surface. My riders shifted slightly behind me, waiting for the signal they all knew might come. One word. That was all it would take. I could feel it in the air -- the edge of violence sitting right there between both sides. Darius stood a few feet away, calm like this was a conversation instead of the start of war. I kept my voice level. “You’re making a mistake.” Darius didn’t answer. His eyes moved past me for a second, toward the riders behind, the toward the children. Then he looked back at me. “I’m preventing one.” “You’re blocking the road with armed wolves.” “You brought armed wolves into my territory.” “They came to escort my family out.” “That’s the problem,” he said. Behind me I heard Kade shift in his saddle. “Say the word,” he muttered quietly. I didn’t look back at him. Not yet. Across from us,

(DARIUS POV)I didn’t leave right away after Ivy walked out. The door closed behind her, and the room went quiet again. I saw Mira on the bed, asleep. The healer had dimmed the lamps, leaving only a soft glow near the wall. For a moment I just stood there, looking at the girl.My daughter.It still felt strange. Five years she had existed in the world and I had never knewHer breathing was steady now, though every once in a while her face tightened slightly like the pain was still there even in her sleep.The healer stepped closer to the bed, checking the bandage again.“She shouldn’t be moved again tonight,” she said quietly.“I know.”“You understand the damage to her ribs isn’t small.”“I saw.”She glanced at me.“You’re the one who gave blood.”“Yes.”“That probably saved her.”I didn’t respond, The healer finished adjusting the bandage and stepped back.“She’ll recover,” she said. “But stress will slow the healing.”My eyes stayed on Mira.“There’s plenty of stress in this packho

(DARIUS POV)The room went completely quiet after Mira asked that question.“Why do you keep saying that?”No one moved or spoke. Even the air in the room felt differentI looked at Ivy first. Her face had already gone still in that way I remembered too well — the way she looked right before she made a decision she wouldn’t take back.Lucian noticed it too.He shifted slightly, stepping closer to the bed.“Mira,” he said calmly, “you should lie down again.”“But-”“Your ribs,” he reminded her.Mira frowned but slowly leaned back against the pillow again.Her eyes moved between all of us. “You’re all acting weird.” She saidNo one said anythingArin scratched the back of his head.“I think something’s going on.”“You think?” Mira muttered.I stepped forward slightly, Lucian’s eyes immediately locked onto me.A silent warning.I ignored it.“Mira asked a question,” I said.Ivy’s voice cut in immediately.“And she doesn’t need an answer right now.”“She deserves one.”“She’s injured.”“T
