The Chosen Omega のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

CadeonMy eyes are drawn to the scar on her face, one I'm fairly certain wasn't there before.I catch Timmon's eyes, who's standing behind her with a bemused expression on his face. I\m sure he's asking himself why I'm here and to be honest, I regret not having shown this matter more importance. My father isn't Alpha anymore—I am.Which means that I'm to blame for what has happened to her, especially considering that it was within these walls. That night, I told her to stay in the academy for this precise reason, foolishly thinking it would keep the extremists away. I was dead wrong. By the goddess, look at her face. The scar doesn't make her look any different than she did before but it's the first thing one sees when gazing at her. It's red and the edges are raw and thick. However, it also makes me notice her features more, from her fierce blue eyes to her hair that's almost red under the light. Her lips are pressed together and her expression is one of quiet determination. The

Lilieth"Alright!" is the first thing Deo says as soon as she wakes up in the morning. I'm standing beside the window, peering out of it, dressed in my uniform. "That's what I'm talking about. Wait for me—we'll head downstairs together. I just need to get washed up and we'll be good to go.""Don't be late," I press. "I like to be early.""Oh, I know," Deo claims as she runs her fingers through her disheveled hair. It's sticking up everywhere like she's been electrocuted, making her look even crazier than she does on a regular basis. "Trust me, I'll be ready."We make it downstairs on time, as she promised, and of course, Instructor Golen is already there. Usually, he won't really acknowledge me the way he does the others, but he'll always look at me.Today, he doesn't spare me a single glance.Deo digs her elbow into my side, perhaps noticing the same thing. His face is pinched and he appears to be in a foul mood. The sight of him sickens me a little, I won't deny it. His son looks a

LiliethAbout ten minutes after Alpha Cadeon leaves my bedroom, Deo walks in, her eyes wide like she's seen a ghost."Where have you been?""I stopped by the bathroom, like I said, but then I was stuck there. Guess who's back?"I know the answer to her question before she even mutters his name. "Wenton. He's back. I saw him standing just outside the bathroom near the training room. He had a black eye."I nod. "The one Timmon gave him.""No, that one should've healed by now, remember?" she mentions. Spending three days unconscious distorted my sense of time. Of course, that would've healed by now."He must have even given a lousy three-day suspension only," Deo claims, folding her arms. "I couldn't hear what they were saying but he looked mad. I'm scared, Lilieth.""Don't be," I say reassuringly, placing my hand on her arm. "This is my burden to carry, remember?""Come on. We're in this together.""I know. But if I'm not worried, then neither should you.""Wenton's evil, Lilieth. Alway

Cadeon I clench my jaw and sit up. This has to stop. It can't be possible that the Omega—no, Lilieth—hasn't left my mind since my last interaction with her a few hours ago. I keep twisting her words around and around, wondering what the hell prompted me to even suggest she was going to leave. I underestimated her. I think we all have. The end of the quarter is bound to be an intense one. I don't think an Alpha has ever been in my position before. I should be focused on the other contenders who actually have a shot at this. There's Beta Donshaw's daughter who I'm pretty sure I'm engaged to. But I don't even remember what she looks like. Blonde, blue eyes. That's all that comes to mind. Then there's Lilieth with that intense gaze. That fiery hair. Her gaze steady as she meets mine. Her words cutting. Her wisdom unmatched. I'm thinking more about the woman I'm supposed to send home rather than the ones who will stay. Hell, it's not only that—she's an Omega-born. She could never be

CadeonMy footsteps slow to a stop when I take in the sight before me.Timmon and Lilieth?For some reason, I feel a jab of pain in my chest and what infuriates me is how it comes from out of nowhere. I don't even understand why I feel this way and that makes no sense at all.This disappointment and raw jealousy have no place inside of me because there's zero reason why I should feel this way about a female I've just met and that I knew had something with my brother anyway.I'm idiotic for even coming here.It was all unexpected. I came here to inform her that the Gammas were in position and would be watching her closely until the end of the quarter, as I'd promised. Technically, there wasn't a need for me to drag myself all the way here—I didn't have to tell her she was being watched—but something drove me to my feet, forcing me to share the news with her personally.A few seconds later, I watch as she pulls away, which makes me wonder why I'm still standing here in the first place.
