The Lycan King's Outcast Omega Ch. 34
Sage The messenger's black and silver uniform catches my eye first – Blackthorn colors. I freeze in the hallway, heart hammering against my ribs. He's speaking with one of Alaric's guards, but all I can focus on is the familiar crest on his jacket.Memories surface like drowning things: Daphne's cruel smile, Cassius's gentle lies, the pack's jeering faces as he rejected me. The corridor suddenly feels too small, the air too thin."Sage?" Iris touches my arm, making me jump. "You're white as a sheet."I try to speak, but the messenger turns slightly, and something in his profile reminds me so much of Cassius that bile rises in my throat. A flash of memory hits me – finding him in his study late one night, hunched over strange vials, speaking to someone in hushed tones. He'd seen me and smiled, but there had been something wrong about it, something I'd been too naive to recognize."Just tired," I manage, but Iris's frown says she doesn't believe me.The messenger disappears into Alaric'

Alaric Blood soaks into the ground at my feet, but for once it's not from enemies. Three of my best warriors lie writhing in pain, their wounds refusing to heal. The mutant wolves' latest attack was coordinated, precise - and their claws leave marks that resist our strongest healing magic.But even as I kneel beside my injured men, my beast claws beneath my skin, sensing Sage's distress through a bond she doesn't know exists. The conflicting pulls of duty tear at me - protect my warriors, protect my mate, protect my pack. All while maintaining the facade of cold control everyone expects from their Lycan King."Alpha." Garrett's voice draws me back. "The council is gathering. They're demanding answers."Of course they are. I leave my warriors in the healers' care, though something tells me traditional methods won't be enough this time.The council chamber buzzes with tension when I enter. Victoria holds court among the noble wolves, her golden hair arranged to display her family's cere

Sage My fingers tremble slightly as I sort herbs, too aware of the noble wolves watching my every move. Their whispers follow me like shadows through the healing wing, where more warriors arrived this morning with wounds that won't heal."Such a shame," Victoria's voice carries clearly. "These injuries are getting worse instead of better. Almost like someone's interfering with the healing process."I focus on grinding silver-leaf, trying to ignore how the other healers draw away from me. They've been using my remedies - they work better than traditional methods on these strange wounds - but no one will acknowledge it."Sage!" A young wolf bursts in, breathing hard. "Please, it's my sister. She's hurt - fell down the old cellar stairs. She's asking for you."Victoria's perfectly shaped eyebrows rise. "Surely one of our trained healers would be better suited—""No," the young wolf interrupts. "She wants Sage. Please."Something feels wrong, but I can't ignore an injured pup. I gather su

AlaricShe moves through the garden like a ghost in moonlight, her silver-blonde hair catching starlight as she mechanically sorts herbs. Even from my office window, I can see the shadows under her eyes, the slight tremor in her hands.My beast rages beneath my skin, remembering how she flinched from my touch yesterday. How she curled into herself, making her already small frame tiny with fear. The urge to hunt down everyone who hurt her wars with the need to gather her close and never let go."The noble families are demanding a response," Garrett says behind me. "Victoria's father—""Can go fuck himself.""Alaric."I turn from the window reluctantly. "I know. Politics. Alliances. The same bullshit that lets them hurt what's mine.""What's yours?" His eyebrows rise. "Have you told her yet?"I growl in response, which is answer enough.The meeting with Victoria and the noble families is mercifully brief. She plays her part perfectly - wide eyes, practiced confusion about why anyone woul

Sage The yarrow leaves blur before my eyes as my mind drifts to last night in the garden. The gentle way Alaric helped sort herbs, how his jacket smelled of pine and winter wind, the warmth of his forehead pressed to mine…I catch myself smiling and immediately try to suppress it. I can't afford these kinds of thoughts. Can't risk hoping, can't risk feeling—"That's the third time you've counted those leaves."I jump at Iris's voice. She leans against the healing wing doorway, grinning like she knows exactly where my mind was wandering."I was just..." I gesture vaguely at the herbs. "Making sure.""Mmhmm." She drops into the chair beside me. "Nothing to do with my brother being shirtless in the training yard?"Heat floods my cheeks. I hadn't even realized I could see the training yard from here. Hadn't noticed the way sunlight gleamed off his scarred skin, how power rippled through his movements as he demonstrated fighting techniques…"I'm not looking," I insist, focusing harder on

Alaric Her scent lingers on my hand where our fingers intertwined in the library last night. Honeysuckle and rain, with that underlying hint of something ancient that calls to my beast in ways I can't explain. I should be focusing on territory reports, but all I can think about is how she leaned into me slightly, trusting despite everything."Is that my brother with a dopey smile on his face?." Iris lounges in my office doorway, grinning. "You’re thinking about her, aren’t you.""I don't smile dopey," I growl, but there's no heat in it."You kind of do," Garrett adds, appearing behind her. "It's disturbing, actually.""Don't you two have duties? Besides tormenting your Alpha?""And miss this entertainment?" Iris's eyes dance. "Never."Garrett tries to pull her away, but she dances out of his reach. "Come on, menace. Let's leave his brooding in peace.""Fine." She sighs dramatically. "But only because you asked so nicely."Their playful bickering fades down the hall, leaving me with th

Sage The healing wing feels different lately. Warmer somehow. Other healers have started asking my advice about herbs, and even some of the noble wolves bring their pups to me for minor scrapes. It's a small change, but it feels like finally finding solid ground after months of shifting sand."The silver-leaf poultice you suggested worked wonders," the head healer tells me, actually smiling. "Perhaps you could show me—"She stops mid-sentence, tension suddenly filling the air. In the hallway, wolves gather, whispers spreading like wildfire:"She's back—" "Her father insisted—" "The Alpha had no choice—"Then I catch a familiar floral scent, too sweet, too perfect, and my stomach drops.Eris glides through the healing wing like she never left, elegant even in supposed exile. Her father, Lord Alexander, follows with an entourage of nobles."My King," he addresses Alaric, who's appeared in the doorway. "I come seeking sanctuary for my daughter while I travel to handle urgent territorial

Sage "Shoulders back, chin up – but not too much, you don't want to seem arrogant." Iris circles me like a general inspecting troops. "Yes, like that. Now the greeting."I attempt a formal bow, trying to remember all the rules she's drilled into me since dawn. "My Lord Alpha—""Too deep for an Alpha who isn't Alaric," she corrects. "That level of bow suggests submission to direct authority. For visiting Alphas, you want to show respect without—""Without surrendering power," I finish, adjusting my posture. "Let me try again."We've been at this for hours in her private quarters, the sun barely peeking over the horizon. My head spins with protocols and hierarchies, but something in me refuses to give up.A knock interrupts my fifth attempt at the proper greeting. Garrett enters with a loaded breakfast tray, his stern Beta face softening when he sees Iris."Thought you two might need sustenance for..." he waves vaguely at our impromptu training session, "whatever this is.""My hero."

Sage "Again," Iris instructs as I shift back to human form. "You're getting faster, but you need to be able to change instantly if threatened."My bones and muscles protest, but I welcome the physical discomfort. It's easier than the constant ache of the mate bond, the awareness of Alaric that I can't shut off no matter how hard I try.“He suffers too,” Aura reminds me. “I can feel it through the bond.”“Then he should have thought of that before lying to me,” I snap back, shifting again into my white wolf form.The sun rises fully as we practice, other wolves gathering to watch. My transformation has changed how they see me - some with awe, others with lingering suspicion. But at least they're open about it now, unlike some people."The Alpha's in another emergency meeting," I overhear one guard tell another. "More attacks reported from the eastern territories."Of course he is. There's always another meeting, another crisis, another reason to be anywhere but here.“He's doing his d

Alaric Memories torment me as I try to rest - every time she asked what she meant to me, every opportunity I had to tell her the truth. The night in the training room when she gave herself to me so trustingly. The mornings after when she looked at me like I hung the moon.All while I kept this secret from her.“She is OURS,” my beast rages. “Has always been ours. Why did we hide it?”"Because I'm a fool," I tell the empty room."Yes, you are." Garrett appears with reports about the attack. "But a fool who can still fix this.""How?" The word comes out more desperate than I intend. "You didn't see her face, Garrett. Didn't feel her pain through the bond.""No, but I saw her face every time you pulled away in public. Every time you maintained 'proper distance' while knowing exactly what she was to you."His words cut deep because they're true. I thought I was being noble, giving her freedom to choose. Instead, I made her feel unwanted. Unworthy.Just like Cassius did.Pain from my wou

Sage Power courses through me like liquid moonlight as I stand over Alaric's fallen form. Everything feels different - sharper, clearer, more alive. I am different. Where once there was emptiness, now my wolf fills me completely, as if she was merely sleeping all this time, waiting for this moment.My pure white fur gleams in the moonlight, and some deep instinct tells me my name - Aura. But I can't focus on the wonder of finally finding my wolf, not with Alaric still bleeding before me.The mutant wolves retreat, but their corrupted scent lingers, reminding me how close we came to losing everything. How close I came to losing him. The memory of his blood mixing with mine, of power exploding through me when I thought I'd lose him forever, still burns in my veins.“We need to shift back,” I think frantically, trying to figure out how to access my human form.“Breathe,” a voice inside me soothes - my wolf, Aura. “Feel the change in your bones. Let it flow naturally.”Her presence in my

Alaric "The healing pack abilities are a threat to pack stability," Lord Marcus declares. "History shows us the dangers of unchecked power. Already she gains followers, already she challenges our traditional ways—""By healing our wounded?" I counter, barely containing my beast's rage. "By saving lives when our usual methods fail? If that’s the trade off then I don’t give a fuck what history shows!""It's not just about healing," Victoria's father interjects. "These abilities... they're unnatural. The old texts speak of powers that could control wolves' very natures. What's to stop her from—"The howls that cut him off carry notes I haven't heard in years - pure terror mixed with desperate warning. My beast recognizes the threat before my human mind can process it. These aren't normal patrol signals. These are primal, urgent. A warrior bursts through the council doors, bleeding from multiple wounds. "Mutant wolves... breached the borders... attacking the gardens..." He manages the

Sage The pendant feels different now that I know its history. Not just a mysterious link to my past, but potentially a key to ancient healing knowledge. If only I knew how to access it."Focus," the head healer instructs as I examine a warrior's infected wound. "Don't think about healing. Feel it."I close my eyes, letting my hands hover over the injury. There's something there - a sense of wrongness I can't quite explain. "The infection spreads deeper than it looks," I murmur. "Like threads of darkness under the skin.""Exactly." She sounds pleased. "The healing packs could sense illness this way. Reading the body's patterns, understanding what it needs."We've been testing these abilities all morning. Not the dramatic soul-healing the ancient texts describe, but practical applications of what seems to come naturally to me. My mysterious talent for knowing which herbs to combine, for sensing where injuries run deepest."It's like..." I struggle to explain as I work. "Like the body t

Alaric The scouts kneel before my throne, exhaustion clear in their postures. Three weeks in the northern territories has left them gaunt but determined."We found it, my King." The lead scout places a weathered scroll case at my feet. "Hidden in the mountains where the healing packs once lived."My beast stirs at the scent clinging to the artifacts - ancient herbs and something that reminds me of Sage's unique fragrance."The settlement was destroyed," another scout reports. "But some records survived in underground chambers. Records that tell a very different story than the one the Blackthorn Beta Female presented."I unroll the first scroll carefully, its edges crumbling with age. Detailed accounts of the healing packs fill the brittle pages - their abilities, their bloodlines, their sacred duty to protect all wolves."There's more." The lead scout hesitates. "We found evidence of an attack. Not by their own pack as was claimed, but by outsiders who feared their power."Garrett e

Sage The training room feels different in early morning solitude. My muscles remember the moves now, body flowing through sequences Alaric has drilled into me night after night. I catch glimpses of myself in the mirrored walls - not the scared omega from Blackthorn anymore, but someone stronger. Someone who knows how to fight back."Your form is improving."I don't startle at Iris's voice. Another change - I'm more aware of my surroundings now, harder to sneak up on."Alaric's a good teacher." When he's not distracting me with other activities, I don't add."Speaking of my brother's... teaching." Her grin turns wicked. "Those marks on your neck are new."Before I can sputter a response, voices approach the training room. Eris enters with her usual entourage, including Victoria and three other noble wolves."Well, well." Eris's smile shows teeth. "The little poison-maker, practicing her... skills."I continue my exercises, remembering Alaric's lessons about staying calm. "Good morning

Sage Small changes ripple through the pack in the days following the poisoning incident. Wolves still whisper when I pass, but some nod respectfully now. The warriors I saved make a point of greeting me publicly. Their families send quiet thanks through Iris.But at night, when I'm alone with my thoughts, doubt creeps in like poison. I know who I am now - a healer, someone who saves lives. But what about then? What about the memories that stay locked behind that dark wall in my mind?"You're brooding again," Iris declares, finding me in the garden. "I can practically smell the self-doubt.""Wouldn't you doubt?" I touch a moonflower petal. "Everyone keeps talking about how well I know poisons, how easily I recognized them. What if...""Don't." She grabs my hands. "Don't let their accusations make you question yourself.""But that's just it - I don't know myself. Not really." The words that have been haunting me spill out. "I know who I am now, but what about before? What if I really

Alaric "The practice is unnatural," Elder Marcus declares, his face twisted with revulsion. "We honor our dead, not mutilate them.""Two warriors are dead," I growl, barely containing my beast's rage. "Dead under suspicious circumstances that some are using to condemn an innocent wolf. You'd deny us the chance to prove her innocence because of tradition?"The council chamber fills with uneasy murmurs. No Alpha has ever suggested examining our dead this way before. But no Alpha has ever had their mate falsely accused of murder either."My King," Lord Harrison speaks carefully. "While we understand your... personal interest in clearing the omega's name, there are centuries of custom to consider."Phantom snarls at their inability to say Sage's name, to acknowledge her as pack. But I force my voice to remain steady. "And what of justice? What of truth?""There are other ways to investigate," Victoria's father suggests smoothly. "Ways that don't desecrate our fallen warriors."Before I c
