I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA 43: TRAPPED
As the twilight cast a dim glow over the room, I gathered the twelve around the wooden table. The tension in the air was noticeable as we discussed our next move. Each of our faces bore the marks of our recent battles, our eyes hardened by the countless struggles we had faced together.“We need to decide whether to confront this so-called ‘Beast of the Bandits’ or not,” I began, my voice steady but filled with the gravity of the situation. “There’s a chance this could be a trap, designed to lure us into the open and eliminate us.”Karim leaned forward, his expression serious. “Ava, I’ve been thinking about this a lot. It feels too convenient. The way the bandits have been operating, their coordination, I truly think it is a trap, it’s like they’ve been waiting for us. If we go out there, we might be walking straight into their hands.”Zaza added, “They want you dead, Ava. You’re the only thing standing between them and total control. If the beast kills you, they’ll have free rein over
I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA 44: MORE TO THIS
The weight of our victories and the looming threat of future battles pressed heavily on my mind. That night, unable to find solace in sleep, I wandered into the forest. The dark canopy above seemed to mirror the turmoil within me, and I let my tears flow freely, not caring about the danger the forest supposedly held.The beast, the one we had been warned about, was the last thing on my mind as I poured out my sorrow and fear. He could be in the forest, but I came here to pour out my sorrow.The forest was fearfully silent, the kind of silence that seemed to amplify the sound of my weeping. My thoughts drifted to all that had happened: the betrayal, the battles, the friends lost, and the ones still in danger. It was overwhelming, and for a moment, I allowed myself to be vulnerable.A rustling in the underbrush startled me, and I quickly wiped my tears, preparing myself for whatever might emerge. To my surprise, it was Alpha Jo. His face was etched with concern as he approached, his ste
I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA 45: UNDEFEATED
I sat in a corner of my room wondering what to do next. Leaving my parents and my clan is a big call. But on the other hand, if I don't do that, I have General Masa to contend with. The night was quiet, a deceptive calm. I was sitting by the window, lost in thought, when the door to my room burst open. Zaza rushed in, her face was wearing a mask of anxiety and worry.I looked at her with concern as she took big, deep breaths to calm herself. “Ava,” she gasped, struggling to catch her breath. “The Beast of Bandits is in the Town Square. He’s challenging you openly.”I stood up immediately, my heart pounding. “What? Why haven’t the guards arrested him?”“Maria and the guards are there,” Zaza replied, her voice filled with frustration and disbelief. “But no arrest has been made. They’re just standing there, watching.”“Why? This is our opportunity to strike the Beast down.” Has it turned or is it still in human form?” I asked.Zaza understood why and was disappointed as she answered me”
I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA CHAPTER 46: GET IT STRAIGHT
Alpha Jo entered the room with an air of satisfaction, his eyes were filled with admiration. He had come to congratulate me on my victory over the Beast of Bandit, but I could barely muster a polite response.I felt a deep sense of betrayal and suspicion and it could be seen all over my face. Maybe he has come to get more information to help his sister's mission, I thought."Congratulations, Ava," he began, his voice filled with genuine admiration. "You did an incredible job out there. I have never doubted your abilities. That was new, never knew you had new gifts."I looked him directly in the eyes, my own gaze unwavering. "Where were you, Alpha Jo, when the Beast of Bandit came to town?"His smile faltered, replac
I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA 47: BELIEVE
Alpha Jo stormed into the room, his face a storm of anger and confusion. I had been expecting a confrontation, but not one this intense. He slammed the door behind him, the sound echoing through the room like a thunderclap."Ava," he shouted, his voice barely containing his rage. "I just spoke with Maria. She told me everything. She says you've been fabricating lies about her."I felt a surge of anger rise within me. "Jo, I told you the truth. Maria has been conspiring with the Bandits. We've got evidence - -""Evidence?" he cut me off, his eyes blazing. "Maria says you planted that evidence to turn me against her. She says you've been manipulating me from the start!"I could hardly believe what I was hearing. "How
I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA 48: THE COVER UP
The next morning, I received word that Alpha Jo was recovering. He sent a message, asking to see me. I was wary, but I knew I had to face him.I entered his quarters, finding him sitting up in bed, his face pale but determined. He looked at me with a mixture of regret and resolve."Ava," he began, his voice strained. "I need to apologize. I let my anger get the best of me. I should have listened to you."I nodded, my own anger softening slightly. "Jo, we need to work together. Maria is the real threat here. She's been manipulating everyone, including you."“It’s okay, Ava, I only called to apologize to you because I think you deserve it,” he said.
I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA 49: THE ATTACK ON OMEGAS
Chifo, my cousin, came sprinting towards my mother and me, I could clearly see the panic written on his face. His breath came in uneven gasps, and his eyes were wide with fear."Ava! The bandits... they're attacking Downtown! They're burning huts and killing people!" he shouted, his voice cracking with urgency.My heart pounded in my chest as the reality of his words sank in. The strongest fighters of the Omega clan, including my father, were in the forest searching for Zaza. Downtown was vulnerable."Chifo, listen to me carefully," I said, gripping his shoulders to steady him. "You need to get everyone who is still alive to rally at my father's place. It's the most fortified location we have right now. Go, and be quick about it!"
I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA 50: IT’S TIME TO GO HOME
The next morning, we convened a meeting to discuss our next steps. My father, despite his injury, insisted on being present. "We need to fortify our defenses," he said, his voice firm. "But more importantly, we need to take the fight to the bandits. We can't wait for them to attack us again.""I agree," I said, looking around at the faces of my trusted associates. "But we need to be strategic. We can't afford to lose more people. Karim, did you gather any useful information about the bandits while you were searching for Zaza?"Karim nodded, stepping forward. "Yes, I did."I made my way to Alpha Jo's quarters, my heart heavy with anger and frustration. The attack on Downtown had been devastating, and the absence of guards to protect the Omegas had been glaringly obvious. As I

I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA 120: WE DID IT
The crowd cheered, the sound echoing through the air like a promise. The rare breeds had their land, the omegas had their leader, and together, we would forge a new era of peace and prosperity. As I looked out over the gathered faces, I knew that we had done more than win a battle, we had laid the foundation for a future where all could live in harmony.Kim stepped forward, extending his hand. "Thank you," he said, his voice filled with sincerity. "For everything."I took his hand, feeling the strength of his grip. "Thank you," I replied, "for standing with us. Together, we will build a world where all are free."As the sun began to set, casting a golden light over the land, I knew that we had taken the first steps toward a new beginning. A beginning where all had a place, where all could live with dignity and pride. And as long as we stood together, there was nothing we could not achieve.The sun had barely risen, casting its golden rays over the land, but the joy in the air was alre
I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA 119: TOTAL FREEDOM
I turned to Maria, who still stood bound and defiant, though her eyes now held a glimmer of fear. "Maria," I said, my voice firm but not unkind. "You will be imprisoned for your crimes, your fate decided by the council of Alphas. You will not be allowed to sow discord among our people ever again."Maria’s shoulders sagged in defeat, the last vestiges of her defiance crumbling as she realized the finality of her situation. She had lost everything, her power, her influence, her future.As Maria was led away, Alpha Jo stepped beside me. "You've united us in a way none of us could have imagined," he said quietly. "And now, we follow you."I looked at him, seeing the sincerity in his eyes, and nodded. "This victory is just the beginning," I replied. "We have much work to do to rebuild, to ensure that our lands remain safe and prosperous. But we will do it together, as one."The Alphas, now united under a single banner, dispersed to their respective territories, carrying with them the knowl
I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA 118: ATTACK
When the final letter was written, sealed, and set aside, I leaned back in my chair, feeling the weight of the night pressing down on me. The letters would be sent out at dawn, carried by trusted messengers who would deliver them swiftly across the lands. The responses would come in due time, but I had no doubt that there would be resistance. There always was when power shifted so dramatically.But this time, there was no room for doubt or hesitation. Our survival depended on our unity, and any who stood against us would be dealt with swiftly and decisively.As I extinguished the candle and rose from my desk, I felt a sense of calm settle over me. The decisions had been made, the words had been written, and the course had been set. Now, all that remained was to wait and see who would stand with us, and who would fall.I walked to the window, looking out at the night sky, the stars twinkling like distant beacons of hope. In that moment, I felt the weight of all that had transpired, all
I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA 117: ALPHA OF ALPHAS
The grand hall of the palace was filled with an air of anticipation. I stood at the head of the room, my face hidden behind a mask crafted to conceal the remnants of the beast that had once overtaken me. Though I had regained control, the scars, both physical and emotional, remained. Before me stood the council, the elders, and the leaders from the Hinderlands, Riverlands, and Borderlands. Each of them had been summoned here to witness a new chapter in our shared history, to hear the decisions that would shape the future of our lands. There was a noticeable tension in the air, the weight of the moment pressing down on everyone present. The flickering torchlight cast long shadows across the room, adding to the somber atmosphere.As I looked out at the gathered assembly, I felt a mix of emotions, pride, determination, and a deep sense of responsibility. The journey had been long and fraught with challenges, but it had brought us to this point, where we could finally unite as one. I to
I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA 116: CONSOLIDATION
In the depths of the forest, I crouched low, my senses heightened and my body still buzzing with the raw energy that had surged through me during the battle. The moonlight filtered through the dense canopy, as I tried to regain control over the beast within me. My breathing was heavy, and my mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions.Karim and Shocy approached cautiously, their footsteps barely making a sound on the forest floor. They had been searching for me, and though I knew they meant well, the beast inside me still surged with a fierce, untamed power. When they finally found me, their eyes filled with concern and relief."Thank the gods we found you," Karim said, his voice steady but laced with worry. He stopped a few paces away, respecting the distance I needed. "You need to come back with us. You can't stay out here."I turned to face them, my eyes glowing with a fierce intensity that made even the most seasoned warriors uneasy. The beast inside me was still close to the s
I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA 115: VICTORIOUS BUT ABSENT
As Karim and his men escorted the freed captives away, I watched from a distance, feeling the weight of my actions and appearance. I knew that my transformation and the intensity of the battle had left a mark on me, both physically and emotionally. The woods seemed to offer a sanctuary from the chaos, and I made my way deeper into the forest, seeking solace in the quiet of the natural world.The sounds of the forest were a welcome contrast to the chaos of the battlefield, providing a moment of calm amidst the turmoil. I took deep breaths, trying to steady my mind and regain a sense of balance.In the distance, I could hear the muffled sounds of Karim and his men leading the captives to safety. The knowledge that they were being cared for and protected was a small comfort, even as I wrestled with the lingering effects of the battle and the toll it had taken on me.As the shadows of the forest closed in around me, I found a moment of peace in the solitude, though the weight of what lay
I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA 114: NOT TODAY
Maria’s voice cut through the air, sharp and commanding, as she prepared to deliver the final blow. The crowd quieted, their anticipation palpable as they awaited our deaths. She was relishing this moment, savoring the victory she believed she had secured.I closed my eyes, drawing on the power I had been holding back, feeling it surge through me like a tidal wave. This was the moment. This was when I would show them all what it meant to cross me.“I’m sorry, Jo,” I whispered, my voice barely audible above the crowd. “I’m sorry for everything we lost, for the chances we never took. But I won’t let this be the end. Not for us. Not today.”He squeezed my hand, his grip strong despite the bonds. “Then let’s do this. Together.”With a final breath, I opened my eyes, my vision sharpening as the power within me surged to the surface. The time had come to turn the tide, to take back what was ours. And as the executioner raised his weapon, I unleashed everything, shattering the bonds that hel
I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA 113: SECOND CHANCE
The dim light of the cell flickered as I sat in the corner, my body battered and weak from the days of torment. Every breath was a struggle, each movement a reminder of the pain that coursed through me. But as I closed my eyes, I forced myself to push beyond the physical agony, to reach deeper into the well of power that lay dormant within me.My mind drifted to Zaza's words, the fierce determination in her voice as she urged me to find my strength, to believe in my abilities. Her faith in me had never wavered, even as Maria sought to break us both. And now, as the cold stone walls of the cell pressed in around me, I knew that I had to tap into that strength, to harness every ounce of power I possessed.With a slow, deliberate breath, I began to focus inward, drawing my consciousness away from the pain and fear that threatened to consume me. I reached for the gifts that had been passed down through my bloodline, the abilities that had always been there, waiting for me to master them.
I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA 112: TILL DEATH
The cell was dimly lit, the flickering torches casting shadows that danced on the cold stone walls. The air was thick with the scent of damp earth and despair, a fitting atmosphere for the fate that awaited me. My body was weak, my spirit battered, but as the heavy iron door creaked open and Zaza stepped inside, a spark of hope flickered within me.She moved quietly, her eyes scanning the room before settling on me. Despite the dire circumstances, Zaza carried an aura of calm and determination that I had always admired. Her presence was a balm to my weary soul, and for a moment, I could almost forget the weight of the chains that bound me.She knelt beside me, her hands gentle as they touched my arm. “Ava,” she whispered, her voice a soft but urgent plea. “You must find strength, now more than ever. Your gifts… they’re still within you, even if you can’t feel them right now.”I looked at her, the exhaustion in my body making it difficult to muster a response. “I’m not sure I have anyt
