A Slave To Submit [Alpha + Omega Romance] Chapter Forty-One
Ronin paced back and forth, raking his hand through his hair, clenching his fist so tight that blood dripped between his knuckles. His first-rank council members surrounded him, with equally frayed nerves. Lucien was gnawing on his last fingernail, Maia was bouncing in place, and Nikolai stood still as a statue, tracking every movement under the pavilion. Caius, Xander, and Thaddeus focused all their energy on preventing him from going after Derith. Growling, Ronin shoved at Caius, “Damnit, she should’ve woken up by now. It’s been half an hour.” “Hey, there’s still 30 minutes left. Be patient. Remember time passes differently in the Soulscape and she is on a very dangerous quest.” He moved with Ronin, using his body to block any view of Derith. “If she dies, Caius… I am going to make Derith wish he was dead.” “Derith is untouchable right now.” Xander blocked his line of sight, crossing his arms, “If you kill him, there will be anarchy. Even if we assassinated him, all fingers wou

Chapter Forty-TwoIt was getting too easy to lie.Liora kept her carefully constructed smile up, nodding and waving until the crowd dispersed and she could go back inside. By then, it was getting closer and closer to the witching hour–and with each minute that passed by, she wanted to crawl out of her skin.For them, the trial progressed for one hour, but for her, it lasted two months. Two months of onslaught, exposed to harsh conditions with her wolf as her only guide and companion. The only way to win was to admit the truth, to accept who she was.Corrupted.Hungry for power.Seduced by the darkness inside her.When Liora finally discovered her sacred name- Adamantia, to say she was surprised would be an understatement. The Goddess deemed her ‘Unbreakable.’It was laughable.She was falling apart inside.All she could think about was flesh.Lupine flesh.Ripping into the crowd and feasting until the black hole inside her was sated.Ronin had wanted to mate but she couldn’t do it.

Dammit- He caught her.'Tell him I'm a shadow and I'll Kill you.' Liora gripped Nikolai’s throat tightly, sending him the mental warning a split second before Ronin descended upon them.He ripped her away from her snack and sent her flying across the room. Air left her lungs as her back slammed into the closet door, breaking the mirror in the center. Shards fell around her where she crouched, littering the sheer gray carpet.“Alpha, this isn’t what you think-”“No?” Ronin slammed Nikolai into the wall adjacent, his claws digging into the Delta’s chest. “I knew that you and Liora were close but I didn’t think you would actually fuck my mate–!”Liora stalked over, pushing Ronin back and getting between them. “Back off Ronin. He’s mine.”Some of the rage drained from Ronin’s expression as if he was now finally starting to understand what was happening. “Liora. Your eyes.”“Hmmn, yes dear. We’re a matching set now.” The corner of her mouth turned up ruefully.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Ronin’s heart thumped so hard he thought his rib cage would break. The horror mixed with excitement was a triple shot of adrenalin as his rationale clashed with his wolf’s eagerness to get control.“If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you were the one that let the mindless beasts into the summer solstice party.” Ronin curled his lip, “ 'Cause- why would you want to have two crazy monarchs if you weren’t trying to undermine the Helm?”Dr. Reynolds's jaw dropped, “Alpha, I would never, EVER-”“Relax, Doc.” Caius cut in. “He’s just messing with you. We have shadow guards watching every non-council member who has access to the house. We know you didn’t do it.”The doctor nodded once, glancing at Ronin with a wary expression. “I wouldn’t have suggested if there was another way.”Ronin raked a hand through his hair, “I can’t tell the last time I gave my wolf complete control. What if I let go and I can’t come back? We will have an even worse situation on our hands.”Liora was pretty bad.

Liora fidgeted with the hem of her blouse, gripping Ronin’s hand tightly as the elders busied themselves preparing him to enter the Soulscape. She admitted the last few days were a roller coaster of crazy. Heather dying, Saberlon revealing himself to the Society, her doing the walk of death and Ronin finding out her wolf was corrupted after she had a breakdown. It was a lot, but they were sorting through everything and finding normalcy again, only for Ronin to declare that he wanted to have a tête-à-tête with his wolf.“Relax, Liora. I’m going to be fine.” He gave her a small smile, adjusting his head on the velvet pillow an elder carried for him.“You can’t promise me that.” She shook her head. “I spent one hour in there equated to two months. You want to spend three days, that’s like spending an entire year in hell".”“You were on a specific quest that caused you to experience difficulty. I’m going to talk with my wolf and see if I can get some answers to help us understand and perh

The King bickered back and forth with his advisors while Ronin tried to process that bit of information. He didn’t know what to think or feel about being a reincarnation of an ancient Greek king. Lost in thought, he didn’t notice when Kaon changed the ‘channel’.‘This isn’t our memory exactly,’ Kaon said as they walked through a dark forest. The moon was full and there was music, singing, and soft glowing lights dancing in the distance. ‘This was loaned to me, to help fulfill the purpose of this expedition.’‘W…Where are we?’‘Mount Lykaion.’Ronin was about to ply his wolf with more questions but was halted by a weird shimmering sensation when several figures zipped through his astral body. Turning around, he watched as a boy was pinned down by two of his siblings. He looked no more than 17 years old, struggling against their hold.‘Let go of me!’ He growled as the remaining brothers encircled him. The oldest, and no doubt the ring leader, made a slow tutting sound. ‘Nyctimus. What

It was a ballsy move, but as soon as Ronin was down, Liora took it upon herself to call an emergency meeting with the entire council. Yes, Ronin had left Caius in charge, but she was Queen. And no one trumped the Queen.“Are you sure you want to do this?” Maia said nervously, trailing behind as they headed toward the conference room. “This won’t exactly win you points with some of our more… traditional council members.”Liora smoothed a hand over her pencil skirt, “I’m not here to win points.”“Well, you already know you’ve got my vote.”“Thanks, Maia.” She took a deep breath before entering through the double doors.The conference room was larger than the others she’d seen or been in. A large round table dominated the space, the surface covered in black hecatolite. It was carved to look like a beautiful obsidian moon, with a belt of indentations where council members could cast their votes. They all stopped what they were doing when she entered, stood, and bowed.They kept their hea

News of Nerissa’s punishment spread quickly throughout the pack. By the time Liora came to see how she fared, a crowd of omegas and others who bore a grudge gathered around to taunt her. They mocked and jeered, and hurled trash, stones, and other putrid missiles.Callie sucked her teeth, crossing her arms as she watched the scene in amusement. “I never thought I’d ever live to see Nerissa get her due. It must be a cold day in hell and I’m lovin’ it!”Liora smirked. “Last chance to go kick her while she’s down.”“Nah. I’d much rather watch.”“Suit yourself.” Liora shrugged, letting it play out a bit longer. When Nerissa’s distress became too much of a nuisance via their mind link, Liora ordered her guard to disperse the mob.“That’s enough!” The guard bellowed. “Make way for your Queen.”Bodies parted and Nerissa’s pitiful frame was revealed at the far end. Covered in dirt and other unmentionables, she tried to compose herself as best as possible. “Nerissa Falconer,” Liora drawled. “H

They guided him through Alastor’s house towards a vast hall. A gazebo was erected in the center, the sides draped with sheer curtains. He could make out tiny details of her silhouette that filtered through.Lupine folk knelt all around, prostrating and weeping, many ripping the skirts of their deep blue robes. The Oracle sat near the entrance, rocking herself back and forth as she mumbled in Greek.Ronin stumbled forward, catching himself against the post.“I’m fine.” He shrugged off Lucien’s helping hand. He didn’t want it.Flipping the curtain aside, he dragged himself in. She lay on a bed of furs and flowers, dressed in a shimmering blue gown, a white rose crown nestled on her head. Her long hair was fanned out over her shoulders, framing the necklace around her neck, which no longer had light.Her hands cradled her belly, almost like she was still protecting their cub.“Liora,” Ronin choked, reaching his trembling hand towards her cheek. It was so cold. His knees gave way and he c

This could not be happening.It wasn’t real.It couldn’t be.She couldn’t be dead.Ronin denied it a thousand different ways inside his head. But her silent heart was too big of a truth for him to ignore. Liora was gone.He killed her.“den me timórises arketá?!” Haven’t you punished me enough? He howled at the moon, holding on to her body like an anchor keeping him from drowning. The colder her skin became, the deeper he sank.He couldn’t think about Maia, sobbing a few feet away. He couldn’t spare a second for Nikolai, who still hadn’t moved from his slumped position.“You can’t be dead,” Ronin coaked, stroking her cheek with trembling fingers. “I can’t do this without you, Liora. Open your eyes!” He touched her lids softly, willing them to pop open, for a blush of red to color her cheeks and for the blue hue in her lips to fade.Kaon, his wolf, recoiled deep into his subconscious, seeking a quiet corner to hide from the agony. Ronin would give him no reprieve.Ronin got to his feet

Liora cried softly into the crook of Nikolai’s shoulder as he carried her through the dense forest. She could feel the sorrow of the pack, hitting her in waves. So many were injured. So many dead.Who would be so cruel, showing no mercy to women and children?What manner of foe was this that drove them from their home?Liora wished she could snap her fingers and make it all go away. The most she could do now was to share in their pain and grief and send soothing words across the mind link.‘Everything’s gonna be okay,’ She resonated. ‘By the Goddess.’“Luna.” Nikolai’s voice sounded tight. Liora didn’t realize how close her lips had inched to his neck. She had no urge to bite him, but she could sense that he still craved it.“Sorry.” She eased away, wiping her eyes. “Can you put me down? I’d like to walk for a while.”“Walk to where?” Callie scoffed, giving Liora a pointed look. She looked way too comfortable perched over Alastor’s shoulder. “You can barely walk a yard with that ten-p

Liora’s lips pressed into a thin line as she watched Ronin go down the hillside. Fine. She turned to Maia, grabbing her hand tightly, “Find Callie. She’ll be hiding somewhere around the old cabins.”“Everything’s going to be fine, Luna.” Maia planted a kiss on her wrist. “I’ll come find you later. Let’s go, Lucien.”They ran to the treeline with Thaddeus and Derith close behind. Liora let Nikolai lift her into his arms as smoky tendrils curled around Enas and the Oracle. When the smoke cleared, they were courtyards of the Beta den. Lupine folk were rushing toward the left backwoods path tucked at the end of the rows of buildings. Guards directed the flow of people while monitoring the entrance gates for mercenaries.A hand lightly touched her shoulder and she jumped. When did the Oracle get so close?“Apologies, Luna. I didn’t mean to startle you.” Inclined her head. “Enas and I will go ahead first and assist Alastor’s pack in receiving the pliveíos.” The Oracle clutched Liora’s hand

Liora’s eyes popped open when she felt a strange sensation in her chest. It was as if a hot wax strip was applied and ripped off without warning. High off euphoria, closed her eyes again, not thinking too much of it.Fifteen minutes ticked by before she noticed that the incessant urge for lupine flesh was gone.It was... gone?!The first thing that came to her mind was to tell Ronin, but she couldn’t interrupt him. So, she did the next best thing.“Caius!” She elbowed him repeatedly, unable to contain her laughter.“Yes, Luna?” He looked at her through one lazy eye that widened in surprise. “Your eyes– they’re normal.”Liora nodded, “I can’t feel the curse in my bond anymore. It’s gone!” If her belly wasn’t so big, she would run out into the feel and frolic like a carefree cub. “How is this possible, Caius? Does that mean Ronin is cured too?!”“I’m the last person you should be asking,” He laughed. “This is a time of miracles. Better not look the gift horse in the mouth.”Light grey s

As the sun made its descent on the horizon, the lupine folk slowly started to fill the clearing. It started with one or two until the entire field was filled with silhouettes dressed in white robes. The adults lounged around in circles, talking animatedly, while the cubs frolicked and chased each other in vigorous play.Looking farther out, Ronin could see Gamma and Delta warriors standing along the perimeter fence, clad from head to toe in tactical gear. Naturally, he couldn't see the shadow assassins, but he was confident they would be well hidden and vigilant.The golden crown on his head felt too heavy as if he would crumple under the weight. Would he be able to wear it after tonight? Would he be worthy? He wasn’t sure. All he could do was count down the minutes until the Rites would begin and he could cure his mate once and for all.Ronin felt the air shimmer beside him. He didn’t have to look to know it was Nikolai. “Everything’s set?”“Yes Alpha, it is all in place according to

“How much of this are we telling them again?” Thaddeus asked as hurried to catch up with Ronin’s quick pace. Ronin cast a sidelong glance in his direction.“We tell them everything except about the curse.” Ronin paused at the entrance of the large boardroom, allowing Geneda to adjust his black silk tie. Brushing his assistant away, he flexed his shoulders and rolled his head to ease the tension in his neck. “They need to know the truth about our Origin so that we can enlighten the packs during the ceremony later tonight.”The attendants opened the double doors and Ronin strolled in with an air of confidence that he didn’t quite feel.All twelve members of his council were present, along with his Regents, their seconds in command, Grandmaster Platon from Lyklos Keep, Elder Enas, and the Oracle. They had moved a much larger table in to accommodate everyone, wide enough that he and Liora could sit side by side at the head of the table.Liora was already settled, dressed in a dark green of

Liora stared at him, drinking in every inch of his towering frame. Her cub leaped within her, kicking with excitement. She tried not to get hopeful but it was a reflex she could not control. For as long as they were bonded, she would have faith that they would find their way back to each other, no matter how long it took.“Get out, omega.” Ronin stepped to the side. Callie threw her a pitiful look before scurrying past him down the hall.“Is there something you need?” Liora waved him in. “I have to see Doctor Reynolds in a few minutes.”As he stepped over the threshold, Liora felt like he was sucking all the air and light from the room. Wanting to put some space between them, she shuffled towards the window, gently perching herself on the loveseat.“That won’t be necessary, I already told him you will be present at the rites.”Liora hummed. “Understood. Do you need a towel to dry off?”“What do you mean?”“Your hair. It’s dripping wet.” Not waiting for his response, she padded to the

“Liora, honey, what are you doing out of bed?” Callie’s voice was low and careful. Everyone spoke to her that way nowadays, as if any louder and she would shatter into a million unrecoverable pieces.Ronin beat them to it weeks ago.“I just wanted to stand for a bit,” Liora let the curtains slide back in place and let her friend guide her back to the bed. She’d hoped that Caius could get through to Ronin, but by the looks of it, nothing good came from their conversation.Holding the underside of her belly, she gingerly sat on the edge of the mattress. Callie settled beside her, reaching out to take her hand.“No.” Liora pulled back, throat thick with emotion. “Don’t comfort me. That makes it worse.” Hot tears pooled in her eyes and she swiped angrily at them. “Damnit! I’m so tired of crying.”“I cannot stand your tears, Luna.” Callie’s eyes went wide, filled with grief. “Please let me soothe you. The stress is not good for the baby.”“I said don’t!” Liora snapped. She knew Callie just
