All Chapters of THEIR OMEGA: THEIR OBSESSION: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Maya's POVKarl moved toward me slowly. His Alpha aura surged into the air meant to force my knees to the floor.I backed into the shadow of the archway, my palms pressed against the wall behind me.My wolf snarled deep within my chest, urging me to strike, to rip into his throat with everything I had.But I forced her down. I swallowed the fire in my throat, letting my shoulders slump and my hands trembled.I had to play the frail and terrified Omega. If he realized I suspected his connection to the Red Thorn or knew about his secret meeting with Allison, I wouldn't leave this safehouse alive."Karl..." I choked out, keeping my voice breathy and thin. "What... what are you doing here?"Karl stopped a few feet away, leaning against the archway calmly. His eyes swept over my bruised neck and disheveled sweater and a mocking smile tugging at his lips."I came to check on you, little bird," Karl said, his tone dripping with menace. "Elijah is so dramatic, locking you up in this dreary pl

Maya's POVStephen sat up front in the passenger seat, his eyes fixed on the empty highway ahead. I sat alone in the back, keeping my hands buried deep inside my sweater pockets.The weight of it in my pocket felt like holding a live grenade. This single piece of evidence connects Allison to the vault breach, the stolen documents, and the chemical suppressant that paralyzed the maid before her execution.If I pulled it out right now and handed it to Stephen, what would happen?Without hard proof linking it directly to Karl or a formal council hearing, Allison would simply claim I stole it from her purse to frame her.Karl would cover her tracks, and I would be silenced permanently before sunrise. I had to wait for the exact moment to strike or this keycard would become my death warrant.The moment we passed through the castle gates, Stephen ordered an immediate lockdown of the administrative wing.He walked straight into the high-security war room, summoning Elijah, Nathan, Karl, and

Maya's POVRed warning lights flashed along the corridors. Stephen’s voice boomed over the master intercom. "All sectors on full lockdown. Secure the perimeter. Search every room in the royal wing."I knew exactly what was happening. Karl and Allison had stolen the royal toxin from the inner safe, the very substance capable of paralyzing an entire Alpha pack.And with the sirens blaring and guards sweeping the wing, they were planning to plant the empty vial on me. They were setting up the final trap, framing me for the theft right before their strike hit.If I tried to run or hide in my room, they would find me, stage the evidence and execute me on the spot.I had to strike first.Instead of fleeing toward the residential wing, I turned around and ran deeper into the hidden tunnels, using my intimate knowledge of the servant passages to bypass the blocked main hallways. I pushed through the narrow panel behind the bookcase and slipped silently into Stephen’s private office.The room

Nathan's POVThe council elders and senior pack officers were already celebrating, drinking to the news of Lady Allison’s complete exoneration and her upcoming Luna ascension ceremony.Standing in the balcony, I looked down at the party with disgust.Stephen and Elijah were down there, nodding along as Karl held court near the fireplace, repeating his narrative about the siege.They believed his story whole, that Alpha Raymond launched a desperate strike to retrieve the royal toxin, and that the dead maid was the sole mastermind who had stolen Allison's keycard weeks ago.It was too clean and convenient.My mind kept going back to my conversation with Maya in the servant passage right before the alarms went off.She had warned me about an attack along the river border passes with certainty. She hadn't guessed; she knew.Leaving the banquet hall behind, I slipped down into the basement security terminal.I sat at the main terminal console, my fingers flying across the keyboard as I pul

Maya's POVWhen I opened my eyes again. I was back in the medical wing, lying on the soft mattress and my left shoulder throbbing with bandages around it.I shifted slightly and caught sight of a figure standing beside my bed.He had removed his formal suit jacket, his white shirt stained with red wine and faint smudges of ash.His handsome face was carved from stone."Stephen..." my voice cracked.He didn't move closer. He kept his arms crossed over his chest, looking down at me with an unreadable expression. "You shouldn't have left your bed, Maya. Walking into the grand hall in a blood-stained dress... you embarrassed the entire council.""I don't care about the council!" Tears welled up in my eyes, burning hot against my cheeks as I forced myself to sit up despite the tear in my shoulder. "Stephen, please... you have to listen to me! You are being lied to!"Stephen’s jaw clenched, but he remained silent, letting me speak."The sniper..." I choked out, my chest heaving as I reached
