Omega's Reckoning The Trials My Place
Veyra POVI was born to rule. In the werewolf kingdom, the first child is always a male so there’s an alpha to run the pack in the future. Only for my family, they got a girl first.I’ve spent my entire life proving that I can be the alpha to our pack. Everyone doubted me, everyone believed I would fail, and tonight, I’ve proved them wrong.Tonight, I’m handed the title and become the alpha. I watch as the maids rush around me, each one doing something different. They are making sure I fit the part, look ready, and come across as powerful.Tonight isn’t just the night I get the title handed to me and take on my family’s pack. I marry my mate, and we claim each other.One of the maids pulls my dress, tightening it more.“Are you nervous, Miss Veyra?” the maid smiles as she straightens my dress.“No, I’m actually excited.”The maids smile at me softly.“And so you should be. The first female Alpha! The firstborn female, you were destined for greatness.”Their words are nice to hear, but

Veyra POVMy father isn’t happy, even I know that.“What have you done?” His words are growled, his nails digging into my skin.“He wanted our pack!” I argue.“Then you give him it.” His words are sharp and I stare.“What? Why would I give him the pack?” I didn’t train to be Alpha just to hand it over to a man.“A man is meant to be alpha, not a woman. You should have agreed to give him the pack.”I don’t understand. “I’ve proven I can take care of the pack, I’ve proven I can be alpha, why now are you not agreeing?”“You’re a disgrace. What sort of person rejects becoming Luna just to hold onto a pack? To hold onto a title that is meant for a man?”I stare at my father, my breath coming in sharp, controlled bursts. My entire life has been spent proving to him that I can lead, that I am strong enough, ruthless enough, and capable enough to take this pack into the future. And now, when I am finally about to take what is mine, he tells me I should have just handed it over?“You would rat

Veyra POVKieran steps closer, lowering his voice so only I can hear. “You should have given me the pack when you had the chance.”I meet his gaze, my own unwavering. “You should have never betrayed me.”Turning, I face my father, I have to try and save the pack. My heart slams against my ribs as the weight of his decision presses against me. Of all the people he could give the title to it’s Kieran after he married Lyra. Has he forgotten what her pack did to us?I straighten my shoulders, my voice cutting through the silence. “You can’t just cast me aside. I am your daughter. I am this pack’s rightful Alpha!”My father steps forward and towers over me; his presence is suffocating. “You were my daughter. You were meant to be Luna, you were meant to be a wife. Your role was to support your mate. Instead, you chose power over duty, and now, you’re nothing.”His words send a sharp pain through my chest. I lift my chin, refusing to show it. “You can strip me of the alpha title, but you can

Veyra POVI can't believe this is happening. Their hands are gripping me, rough and unrelenting. My body is dragged across the floor like I'm nothing. I can't move, and I can't fight. Not with whatever they had shot me with still flooding my system. My vision blurs, and I catch a glimpse of familiar faces. Some look away, too ashamed to watch. Others watch with silent satisfaction, but no one steps forward, and no one helps me. "Opening my mouth, I try to speak, to scream to fight against this, but my voice is still gone. The cuffs are burning around my skin, dampening any trace of power that I might have had left. They are silver-lined, made to ensure my wolf is shielded. Of course, because if they didn't use these, I could shift and run. Lyra strolls ahead of me like she's already won everything. She has, for now, but there's no way I'm not fighting to get back my pack. Her steps are slow and almost deliberate, and I know it's for show. She turns back once, just once, like that i
Last Updated : 2025-04-02Omega's Reckoning The Trials Seeing Them
Veyra POVTwo of the Omegas are snoring, and one is quietly crying into her blanket while another stares at the ceiling like she's already given up. This is why so many die; they see it as there's no escape, but there is. I don't sleep, I can't. I stay pressed against the wall, and every muscle is tense. I'm waiting for the sound of a guard changing shifts, a door unlocking, anything at all. I move quietly but quickly, my bare feet making no sound against the cold floor. The windows are barred and sealed tight, I still check them, just in case. I tug and test their strength, but nothing gives.The door locks from the outside, of course, so there's no way to get the lock open. Maybe, though, I can find a weak spot? I crouch near the hinges, running my fingers along the stone. There's nothing, no cracks, no loose bricks. This place is built to keep people in.Looking up I pause when I see the glint of a red light in the corner of the ceiling. A camera. My eyes sweep the room again, and

Veyra POVI won’t cry or show weakness like the other women are.“The rules are as follows,” the guard continues.“One: You will rise at dawn and sleep only when permitted, if you're caught sleeping without permission, you get punished.Two: You will eat only if you please the Alphas. Losers do not get fed; some may become meals for the rogues outside the walls.Three: You will not fight among yourselves, that is, unless commanded to.Four: You will participate in every trial set before you, regardless of comfort or shame.Five: You will not speak unless spoken to.Six: Any attempt to escape will result in immediate execution.Seven: You will address the Alphas as my Alpha or Alpha. There are no exceptions, and if you don't, you will be punished.Eight: When the final day comes, the Alphas will each choose one omega. The rest who are still alive…”He lets the words hang there because we all know what happens to anyone who manages to survive but isn't claimed. They are thrown to the ro

Veyra POV He's simple, cruel and honest. As he returns to his seat, Alpha Dagen rises, Lyra's brother. He doesn't hurry, he acts like he's on a leisurely stroll. He's already smirking before he even begins to move and every step toward me feels like a shadow stretching across the room. It's thick, suffocating and laced with something crueller than all the others combined. He doesn’t stop at the line like the others did, or even look at them. Instead, he walks straight to me.My shoulders tense as his eyes rake over me like I’m a prize he’s already decided belongs to him. He's wrong if he thinks I will let him claim me.“You know,” he begins, voice low and taunting, “I told Lyra you’d end up on your knees.” His smirk grows. “Let’s make that come true, shall we?”He gestures lazily toward me. “Kneel.”Silence spreads like wildfire, and the other omegas don’t even breathe. The guards shift, waiting for the moment they need to punish me.I don’t move. I stay strong with my eyes locked f

Veyra POVThe girl with the spark still alive in her eyes sits up straighter, folding her legs beneath her. “I’m Sera,” she says. “I’m not from a ranked family, but I was mated to one. He rejected me when my heat started early. He said I wasn’t what he wanted anymore.”“I’m Mari,” the honey-haired girl says as she lifts her hand and gives me a soft wave. “I was taken from my old pack and offered to a Beta. He used me until I passed out from exhaustion. When I bit him, he threw me here.”All I can do is not, it’s not uncommon for Omega’s to be used and thrown away after.The third girl, the one who had spoken with no emotion earlier, leans back against the wall with her arms crossed. “I’m Olivia,” she says flatly. “I killed the Alpha who tried to brand me. They thought the Trials would be a fitting punishment.”I stare at her, and for the first time, something close to respect blooms between us. For a while, we sit quietly. The fourth girl hasn’t spoken yet, and her arms are still wrap

Omega's Reckoning The Trials Needing Him
Veyra POVI hate this, I hate how good it feels to be touched and how quickly my body stops trembling as soon as Maddox pulls me closer to him. My wolf is still pressing hard against my ribs, she's whining and pacing, desperate for more than just the comfort of being held.She's clawing at me from the inside, pushing toward him with a hunger I don't want to acknowledge.The burn in the claim mark on my neck is beginning to ease slightly now. It's not vanished completely but it's dull enough that I can breathe again. My skin isn't searing anymore, and my bones no longer feel like they're grinding against each other from the pressure of the bond.I hate that his touch fixes it, I that part of me that needs this, like it's survival.He shifts me slightly in his grip, one arm wrapped firmly around my waist, his hand splayed across my ribs, holding me flush against his chest. His breath ghosts against my throat, warm and steady. Then his lips brush just beneath my ear. It isn’t a kiss. Not
Omega's Reckoning The Trials Taking Her
Maddox POV“She’s fighting it, far more than any other omega would be capable of” Dagen says, arms crossed as he watches her from the corner of his eye. “But not for long. Her wolf is already pushing forward. That room’s about to turn feral if we don’t do something.”“She’d never let me close enough,” I repeat.Rael turns toward me, brow furrowed. “Then talk to her. You’re the reason she’s like this. You might be the only one who can stop it now.”I glance across the room again. Her breathing is shallow. Her hands won’t let go of the table. Every line of her body is drawn tight with restraint, and still, she stays silent. That stubborn, defiant streak of hers is the only thing keeping her upright right now, and it’s killing her.“Delay the trial,” Vane says suddenly. “Give her a few hours.”“No,” I say immediately. “We can’t. If we delay it now, we draw attention. We’ll lose the audience. We’ll lose the structure. Everyone will think she’s being favored.”“She is being favored,” Dagen
Omega's Reckoning The Trials Her Pain
Maddox POVThe scent of her is everywhere. It clings to the air, heavier than before, thick with Heat and the unmistakable sting of pain. I try to ignore it. Try to act like it’s background noise, like it’s nothing more than what it is for every Omega in this cursed place.But it isn’t.She’s seated not far from us, across the dining hall with the rest of the Omegas. I can’t see her face clearly, but I don’t need to. My wolf is clawing at me from the inside, howling with frustration and need. He feels her. Feels her pain. Feels the heat twisting through her and the bond that burns like an open wound between us because we haven’t mated. Because I claimed her and didn’t complete it.I sit forward slightly, pressing my elbows to the table, trying to focus on the food in front of me, but everything tastes wrong. My mouth is dry, and my skin feels too tight. The collar didn’t stop the bond from growing. Now that we’re in the same room, breathing the same air, it’s back in full force. Worse
Omega's Reckoning The Trials Their Deep Hate
Veyra POVWhen I walk into the room, I know instantly that something is wrong. The air changes. Conversations stop. I can feel every Omega in the room glance in my direction, but their attention means nothing compared to the way the air tightens in my lungs.They are here. All of them. Maddox. Dagen. Rael. Vane.Their scents are already thick in the room, overwhelming and familiar. My wolf surges toward the sensation with such force that I nearly stumble. I dig my nails into my palms and focus on the far end of the hall where the Alphas sit at their raised table, watching everything.Dagen’s eyes find mine first. His gaze is sharp, unreadable, but I can feel the bond reacting to his attention. Then Rael looks up from his drink. His mouth twitches like he’s amused, but his eyes flash gold for a moment. Vane doesn’t look away, and I feel the press of his stare like heat along my spine. Maddox doesn’t meet my eyes, but he’s sitting at the edge of the table, his shoulders tense.I force m
Omega's Reckoning The Trials Falling Hard
Veyra POVThe claim mark burns like fire against my neck. It pulses with every beat of my heart, deeper and sharper than pain. I hate Maddox more than I ever hated Dagen. I had Maddox more than everyone. I didn’t think that was possible.That is a lie, if I am honest. I hate Kieran more. I hate Lyra more. Kieran rejected me and gutted me in the process, and Lyra smiled as they stripped everything I had away. But Maddox? He is quickly catching up.Dagen tried to break me. Maddox succeeded. He didn't just try to control me, he bit me. He claimed me when he knew what it would do. He knew what it would awaken in me. He knew the bond would shift and that my Heat would worsen. When an Alpha marks you, your body stops resisting the Heat. It feeds it, intensifies it, and digs in like claws.He chose to do that. He chose to make this worse.Now I am caught in something I cannot fight. My body feels wrong. The burn in my skin, the ache in my gut, the bond pulling tight every time I breathe, non
Omega's Reckoning The Trials Tormented
Maddox POVMy footsteps echo through the corridor as I move, and my wolf claws beneath my skin the entire way.This isn’t supposed to happen.I don’t claim mates. I don’t keep them. I use them, break them, and discard them like the broken pieces they become. That’s what I did with the last one. That’s what I’ve always done. Even when the bond snapped into place, I didn’t give in. I broke it. I severed it and burned it out of myself. But this one won’t go. It won’t fade. It clings to me like fire under my skin, constant and alive, no matter how hard I try to push it back.I don’t go to my room. I don’t want the silence. I head for the control hall, where the monitors still track the trials in progress. The room is dimly lit, the air tense with quiet focus. I ignore the screens showing the other Omegas fighting for survival. I don’t care about them right now.“Put her room back on,” I say to the Beta by the console. “Veyra’s.”He reaches for the controls immediately, but I stop him with
Omega's Reckoning The Trials A Mess
Maddox POVThe floor beneath me is cold, and I can still taste blood in my mouth. My own from the hits, maybe some of Dagen's from when my wolf shot forward and bit him, some is Veyra's from when I claimed her.I drag myself to my feet, chest heaving, hands clenched at my sides. My wolf is still snarling under my skin, smug and satisfied, but I want to tear him out. Rip him apart for what he just did. For what I just did.The room stinks of blood, sweat, and the bond. It’s thick in the air now, too heavy to ignore. I don’t look at Veyra. I can’t. If I do, I’ll see what I already know, that she didn’t want this. That I didn’t either.Dagen is breathing hard, eyes locked on me like he’s one second from shifting again. Rael stands between us, teeth bared, not to protect me but to hold the line.Vane doesn’t move. He stands at the back, arms folded, silent, eyes tracking every twitch of my muscles. Waiting.I spit blood onto the floor, wipe my mouth, and speak through gritted teeth. “We t
Omega's Reckoning The Trials Fighting
Veyra POVMaddox steps back, his breath ragged, blood still wet on his lips. The bite mark on my neck throbs, not from the pain but from the bond snapping into place with a force so violent it’s like a second heartbeat under my skin. The moment stretches, thick with silence and heat. None of them speaks, and for one sharp second, it’s quiet enough to hear my pulse in my ears.Then everything explodes.Dagen launches at Maddox with a roar that splits the room. His wolf is half-shifted, claws already tearing through the seams of his skin. He slams into Maddox with enough force to knock both of them into the wall. Stone cracks on impact. Maddox snarls and throws an elbow, catching Dagen in the ribs, but it’s not enough to shake him off. Dagen’s fist drives into Maddox’s jaw, once, twice, a third time, fast and brutal.“You think you get to do that?” Dagen roars. “You think that mark makes her yours?”Rael doesn’t wait. He moves next, grabbing Maddox by the shoulder and dragging him away
Omega's Reckoning The Trials Claimed
Veyra POVI hate every part of this. Every look, every breath in this room feels like a weight pressing down on me. I almost let Vane take everything. My wolf had control, my Heat had taken over, and for a moment, I lost all sense of who I am.The Heat is still there, curling in my stomach like smoke. Ignoring it doesn’t help. It’s growing stronger, bolder, the longer I deny it. But I won’t give in. I won’t let biology make my decisions. I’m not their mate, no matter what the bond says. I’ll never be.I’m the Omega they swore would die during the first trial. I’m the one who trained to be Alpha, and I should have been Alpha, regardless of what my designation is. Not that it matters here. Not when I’m standing in a room with four monsters who wear their Alpha status like a crown and sharpen it into a weapon.They think they’ve won. That the bond changes something. That I’ll fall in line because of Heat. That I’ll beg for them. But they don’t understand what they’ve actually done. They’
