Lahat ng Kabanata ng THEIR OMEGA: THEIR OBSESSION: Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

Nathan's POVElijah wasn't answering his phone. I had checked his quarters, the armory and the command center but he was completely gone.With Elijah missing and Stephen entirely consumed by the final preparations for the ritual, I knew time had run out. Karl and Allison were about to execute their final play and Stephen was walking directly into their trap.I couldn't leave Maya isolated in the medical wing.Karl had already tried to neutralize her once and with guards stationed outside her door under Karl’s direct authority, she was trapped.Using my master security pass, I disabled the surveillance feed in the rear hallway for a few minutes.I slipped into Maya's suite, pulled her out of bed and guided her through the hidden service latch behind the closet.We moved slowly through the narrow tunnels beneath the administrative wing.Maya leaned against my shoulder, every step was a struggle as she clutched her bandaged collarbone.I led her deep into the archives, an unmapped vault

Stephen’s POVEvery cruel word I had spoken to Maya over the last hours echoed in my ears, reminding just how much of a jerk I was.I had looked into her tearful eyes, heard her beg me to believe her and I had dismissed her as delusional. I had protected the very snake who had stolen her sacrifice.Without saying a word to the screaming elders or the chaotic crowd below, I turned on my heel and walked off the balcony, leaving the pre-ascension ceremony behind."Stephen! Stephen, please wait!"The heels echoed through the corridor behind me. Allison chased after me, tears streamed down, ruining her makeup."Stephen, listen to me!" she wept, grabbing my arm to force me to stop. "It isn't what it looks like! Karl forced me down! I didn't know what to do... I was terrified! I only stayed quiet because I loved you so much! I wanted to protect the pack’s honor and secure our union!"Something inside me snapped.The grief, guilt and disgust surging through my chest. I spun around, my fingers

Maya's POVBefore I could say anything, the door of the suite swung open. Karl walked into the room, his eyes sweeping over the three of us before resting on Stephen."Stephen, we have a crisis," Karl said, his tone urgent. "The council members are outside the wing demanding answers about what happened in the grand hall."Nathan stepped between Karl and the rest of the room, his jaw set in a hard line. "You're the one who needs to give answers, Karl."Karl looked at Nathan with detachment. "I didn't have a hand in any plot, Nathan. I made Allison take credit for that incident because the council was already turned against her on account of Maya. Allison is Stephen's future Luna. Maya's false accusations almost ruined Allison's life and reputation. As Alpha and her fiancé, Stephen had a duty to protect her.""You went too far, Karl," Stephen snapped, his voice tight with rising anger."Maya started it first!" Karl shot back, turning to Stephen. "She has been trying to tear this pack ap

Maya's POVI pulled on a sweater over my bandages the following morning and dragged myself to the academy.Every breath sent a sharp pain through my injured shoulder but staying locked in the castle felt far worse.I couldn't stay there and longer, as it became suffocating and every moments I feared the worse could happen.However, they had ignored me, none of them came to me, spoke to me. I had barely seen them, as if they had disappeared from my sight.Yet, one question kept playing in my mind. What happened? Who uploaded that video? How did they get their hands on it when the maid who had original planted that camera was dead?Nothing was making sense and it scared me just how far this could go. I was starting to question and doubt everything around me, and the castle only amplified that fear.The moment I stepped into the main hallway, silence fell over the corridor.Students stopped talking and turned their heads, their phone screens glowing as they whispered and laughed.Before

Maya's POVThe Head Maid closed the distance between us, her posture was stiff and her eyes burning with cold authority.Before I could move, she reached out and violently snatched the linen package of food right out of my hands."What gave you the right to think you deserve this, Maya?" she sneered, holding the bundle away from me as if it were contaminated. "You are no longer a guest in this castle. You are certainly not treated as a mate. You are a mere servant now and around here, a servant works for every single crumb she puts in her mouth.""She hasn't eaten in two days," Anna pleaded nervously, stepping forward. "Please, ma'am, I was just–"The loud sound of the Head Maid’s palm across Anna’s face echoed through the kitchen.Anna gasped, stumbling back into the edge of the prep table as a red handprint instantly bloomed across her left cheek."Silence!" the Head Maid barked at Anna. "If I catch you bending the rules for this girl again, I will have you stripped of your duties a
