Before Bennet can strike, a voice rips through the tension like a sword. "Not so fast." The familiar sound of Callum’s voice cuts through the night air, making my breath quicken. He walks out from the shadows, his towering form lighted by the dim illumination of the moon, producing long, scary shadows on the ground.

For a minute, time appears to stand still. Bennet freezes, his hand halfway to me, ready to attack, but suddenly his movements are halted. A sneer begins to develop on his lips, but the sound never entirely exits. Callum’s frigid glare holds him in place. His eyes are piercing, concentrated, and loaded with unstated wrath. The air is heavy with worry, so much so that I can feel it sparking on my skin like static electricity.

"Callum..." I mutter, my words scarcely heard above the thumping of my heart. I’m filled with relief, but it’s short-lived. There’s something inscrutable in his gaze, something that unsettles me. He looks... strange. There’s a roughness in his attitu

  • The Omega He Claimed    THE FIGHT BEGINS

    Bennet is the first to move, and I'm surprised by how quickly she lunges at Callum. His fists are a blur, pounding out in unadulterated, unbridled rage. I fall back, watching in dread as the two males, who had previously been comrades, now battle fiercely and desperately as the impact of their bodies hitting sends shockwaves through the air. I can hardly hear the snarls and groans of the battle taking place in front of me because my heart is thumping so loudly in my chest. Callum, wearing a mask of icy resolve, blocks Bennet's first blow, but Bennet persists. He swings once more, striking Callum's jaw firmly this time. Callum stumbles back, blood streaming from the corner of his lips, and I flinch as the hit reverberates around the clearing. He doesn't fall, though. Callum snaps back, his fist striking with bone-shattering force into Bennet's side. Bennet grunts in pain at the horrible sound, falling over for a second before swiftly getting back to normal. Their eyes are caught in

  • The Omega He Claimed    DEFEAT OR VICTORY

    Greta's fists lash out at me, and her fingertips brush against my arm, but I manage to whirl away from her. The anxiety that I can't afford to lose at this moment is reinforced each time my heart beats. Not when everything is on the edge. I shove her away from me with a sudden, powerful thrust, and she stumbles back. Every frantic breath I take burns my lungs, and sweat pours down my face, obscuring my vision. But I can't give up. I can't let her recover. My body is hurting from the struggle, but I ignore it and focus only on surviving. Greta growls and steadies herself, anger flaring in her eyes. She is by no means done yet. Her squared shoulders and sharp jawline give it away to me. Like an animal in a corner, she is frantic and deadly. You never know what she'll do next. "Aurora, do you believe you've won?" She sneers, her voice venomous. "You are just a helpless little girl acting out a behavior. This is not the place for you. You didn't. Even though her remarks make me wince,

  • The Omega He Claimed    AFTERMATH

    There is a deafening silence following the conflict. Each short breath feels like a battle, and I can hear my own heartbeat thudding rapidly in my ears. My surroundings have become strangely still. The forest itself seemed to be holding its breath, waiting for something to happen, as there were no further cries or growls.A few feet away, Bennet's body is sprawled awkwardly on the ground, unconscious. The ground underneath him is thick and dark with blood streaks. I can't bear to stare at him for very long. I should feel relieved to see him defeated, but instead I feel a nagging, hollow anxiety.Greta is crushed under me, breathing heavily and her chest rising and falling as her wild eyes glare up at me with barely contained anger. Since I took her down, she hasn't spoken, but that doesn't mean she's given up. This isn't over, based on the expression in her eyes. By no means.I ought to feel triumphant. Didn't we win? Greta is down, Bennet is down, and the immediate threat is gone for

  • The Omega He Claimed    UNLIKELY COMFORT

    Sitting near the crackling fire, the night air hurts my skin. The chill that lingers in the pit of my stomach is not much soothed by the warmth of the flames. I still feel the weight of the war; every ache and bruise serves as a reminder of how nearly we lost everything. My body is still humming from the adrenaline that hasn't totally worn off, and my muscles feel rigid. I peek at Callum, who is seated across from me, his features dancing in the firelight. He appears to be as shaken as I am. I can clearly out the faint pattern of bruises emerging over his jaw, and his clothing are tattered and filthy. Since the fight ended, he has sat there pondering and staring into the fire without saying anything. Then his eyes engage mine, as though he senses my gaze. For the first time in days they become softer, with that comforting warmth returning and a glimmer of the Callum I knew before everything went wrong. The gleam of emotion surprised me. "I should have trusted you from the beginning

  • The Omega He Claimed    A Night Together

    Only a tiny orange glow remains in the cabin after the fire has extinguished. The stress that none of us can release makes the air feel thick and heavy. The threat still hangs in my brain, producing its own shadow, even if the shadow that slithered around the trees outside seemed to have vanished. Callum is standing by the window, watching for movement in the shadows. For the preceding five minutes, he has stayed silent, watchful, and prepared to defend. But as the seconds pass without any more interruptions, I watch him at last settle down. He relaxes his broad shoulders, inhales deeply, and then turns back to face me. My breath hitches at the intensity of his eyes meeting mine. I haven't let myself fully accept it until now, but the weight of all we've gone through seems to hang between us—betrayal, mistrust, and wrath, but also something more. He looks at me in a different way. softer and more clear. He's letting me in for the first time in what seems like an eternity. Callum wa

  • The Omega He Claimed    THE WARNING

    The sound of the knock on the door is so loud that it shakes me from the vulnerable moment that Callum and I shared. My entire body stiffens as a wave of fear sweeps over me. Before he can touch it, the door swings wide as Callum grabs for the doorknob, his stance tight, prepared for an assault.With a pale face and a heaving chest from running miles, Mia suddenly enters. Before I can even question, she blurts out, "We need to leave," her wide eyes locking onto mine in a panic. Right now.My heart sinks into my abdomen. Her voice's desperation sends a new flood of anxiety through my veins.As protective as ever, Callum moves ahead of me, his eyes narrowing at Mia. His voice is low and menacing as he screams, "What's going on?"Mia doesn't even give him a glance. Her eyes remain fixed on me, begging and desperate. We don't have time, Aurora! We must relocate.My throat feels constricted when I attempt to swallow. "Why? What is going on? I try to sound calm, but my voice sounds wobbly.

  • The Omega He Claimed    ESCAPE PLAN

    We walk into the packhouse hallway, and the cold air hits my face. My heart started to beat faster. Callum has a strong grip on my hand, and I can feel it as we run down the hall. He moves quickly and carefully, and his body is stiff from determination.He says in a strong but low voice, "We'll go to the safehouse." His voice sounds sure, and there's no room for question. I push myself to keep going even though my legs hurt as we walk through the packhouse's well-known hallways. I don't want to fall behind. We think that there is danger everywhere and that we could be caught at any time. The building as a whole look like it's about to collapse under the weight of the threat that is coming. Callum pulls me out of my daydream as his hand closes over mine once again. I fight to keep up with him as I look up at his focused and determined face. His jaw is clenched, and his eyes are looking at everything. He looks like he's getting ready for the worst. "Are you certain that the safehouse

  • The Omega He Claimed     TRAPPED

    As I look into the dark woods around the packhouse, I can feel the fear in the air and my heart beating in my chest. Dozens of bright eyes watch us, watching, piercing the darkness. The sound of aggressive wolves' low growls sent a chill down my spine as they circled like hunters. Callum takes a strong step ahead of me, blocking their view of me with his taut figure. I can feel the raw energy flowing off him, ready to attack at any moment, as his muscles tense beneath his clothes. He's trying to protect me and hide me from the danger that is coming ahead, but I know he can tell what I'm doing. We are trapped. I cling to his arm, my fingers shaking, not sure if it's from cold or fear. A warning roars through the air as the wolves get closer and their snarls get louder. They are not present to haggle. They are here to finish this. In a gruff sneer, Callum whispers, "Stay behind me." His eyes are full of purpose as he looks back at me, but I can feel the nervousness hiding behind the

  • The Omega He Claimed     The Sins of a Family

    Bennet's comments weigh heavily on us both, causing Callum's face to go pale and his eyes to widen in disbelief. I feel as though I can't breathe because of the oppressive silence that envelops me like a vice."My father," Callum mumbles, hardly able to put the words into words. "What happened to your family is his fault?"Bennet doesn't avert her gaze. His voice is weighted with regret, grief, and remorse, and his face is bleak. "Yes."The earth sways. I feel as like I'm standing on the precipice of a collapsing cliff, one step from plunging into an abyss from which I will never be able to recover, and the ground beneath me is shaky.As I turn to face Callum, tears sting my eyes and my heart bursts out in ways I never knew were possible. I stutter, my voice scratchy and hardly audible above a whisper, "You knew." "Did you not?"Callum's face flashes with desperation as he rapidly shakes his head. "No, Aurora. I promise you that I didn't know everything. His hands extend toward me, bu

  • The Omega He Claimed     The Heart’s Struggle

    "I had no idea!" I take a step back, but Callum's eyes are suddenly wild and his hands are reaching for me once more. I must not allow him to touch me. Not right now. Not in this manner. "I never would have…I would have stopped him, Aurora, if I had known. You must think so. Please.I am so conflicted right now that I cannot even begin to describe it. I'd like to think he's real. Yes, I do. However, the truth is staring at me with all of its ugly weight, right in front of me. It was his father's fault. Additionally, Callum was supposed to be unique. The one who wasn't like them was supposed to be him.What if he is, though? What if he is actually just like the others? Better than the monster that robbed me of my family?I try to contain the sob that catches in my throat by putting my fingers to my lips. I won't let him witness my breakdown. Not right now. Not in this manner.I mumble, "I don't know what to believe anymore," in a voice so shattered that it hardly sounds like mine.The

  • The Omega He Claimed    The Past Comes Back

    Bennet steps forward slowly, his face serious, something in his eyes that I can't quite identify. A cautionary tale? An appeal? Or worse?"Callum, there's more about Aurora's family that you don't know." Even though his voice is soft, I can feel the weight of it making my stomach turn. "Whatever became of them."My breath catches in my throat and I stiffen. His delivery is more than a simple epiphany. Something sinister is going on. I may not be prepared to hear it.With a look of worry on his face, Callum looks at me before turning back to Bennet. "What are you discussing?"Bennet pauses. For a moment only. However, it's sufficient to validate my worst suspicions.He has some knowledge. Something he ought not to do.There's something about me.My voice is hardly audible above a whisper as I say, "Bennet." "What do you mean?"When he stares at me, his eyes are filled with guilt. Genuine, unadulterated guilt. My heartbeat quickens.Then he utters it."The deaths of Aurora's family were

  • The Omega He Claimed     A Power Unleashed

    I stand still, my heart thumping in my chest, the air around me heavy, almost oppressive. My thoughts and basic life are constantly under strain from Victor's words, which linger in the air. Deep within me, I sense a force that is new to me…power that is unbridled and raw…calling to me.Callum puts his hand in mine and wraps his fingers firmly around my wrist, bringing me back to the here and now. Though I can feel the tremble of worry coursing through him, his grip is strong. He draws me away, obscuring my eyes from Victor's piercing stare.Aurora, don't listen to him. He's telling lies. Although Callum's voice is urgent, I was surprised by how deeply it conveys desperation. It's difficult to cling to that right now, even though his comments are meant to reassure me and remind me of who I am and have always been. Because what Victor is saying seems too real.For a second, I want to believe Callum when I look at him. Even while I want to fully trust him, I can feel the change, the fla

  • The Omega He Claimed    The Truth Unveiled

    As Victor observes me, his smile is icy, bordering on cruel. His eyes shine with contentment, and I can feel his words weighing heavily and suffocatingly on me. It feels like the earth has moved underfoot and I'm sinking into an unavoidable darkness. His cold, relentless presence hovers above me."You think you're just an ordinary wolf, Aurora?" His low voice is a warning, a taunt. "That is far from who you are."His words tighten with every breath, encircling me like a trap and causing every fiber in my body to clench, freezing me in place. I whisper, "You don't know what you're talking about," yet something inside of me recognizes. I have a strong want to believe him, yet I am unable to do so. I won't. This isn't possible.Victor takes a stride toward us, bringing us closer. My pulse quickens as I sense the heat of his presence. His calculating, black eyes never leave me. He knows he has me where he wants me, and his smirk widens as his lips twist higher."Haven't you always sensed

  • The Omega He Claimed    A Dangerous Decision

    I'm under pressure from the rogue, but I don't have time to reflect. No more. Everything is blending into a single, chaotic jumble of snarls, blood, and desperation as the globe spins too quickly. Even if my hands shake around the dagger, I am no longer strong enough to defend myself. Not by themselves.A slight smirk tugs at Victor's lips as he stands across from me, his eyes never leaving mine. He knows, I see. He is aware of my thoughts and feelings. The decision I must make.The decision is pressing down on me like a thousand pounds, and I can feel my chest constricting and my breathing getting short. I turn to face Callum, who has always been there for me and is my guardian. The one who, even in the most dire circumstances, has never faltered. There is something raw in his golden eyes: love, rage, and terror. His voice is low and desperate, and he tightens his hold on my arm, drawing me back slightly.Callum's voice is hardly audible above the din of the battlefield, but he whisp

    As it charges with its teeth bared and saliva streaming from its mouth, the rogue's eyes pierce mine. I automatically sidestep, my heart hammering against my ribs, but the beast is faster than I thought. The air is knocked out of my lungs as it crashes into me. Pain shooting through my chest, I fight to stay upright as the forest spins.The rogue is unrelenting as I swing my knife, aiming for its throat. Snarling, it dodges and pushes me back toward the trees. The impact's force causes my eyesight to blur, and for a split second, I worry that I won't survive this battle.My feet slip on the blood-slick floor as I scramble. Even if my breathing is labored, I don't give up and continue to move. It's no longer just about me. It's about defending my pack and those who have battled beside me. I cannot allow Victor to triumph.I lift my dagger, the blade gleaming in the moonlight, as the rogue lunges once more. I swing it as hard as I can with what little strength I have left.

  • The Omega He Claimed    Battle for the Pack

    The night devolves into mayhem. The air is filled with growls and snarls as bodies collide, claws tearing through fur, fangs digging into flesh. Blood is all over the woodland floor, and the smell is overpowering. A rogue lunges at me, its eyes blazing with bloodlust, before I can even react.Callum moves like a blur and slams a vicious blow into it before it can get to me. With a shriek of anguish, the rogue falls to the ground as his claws sever its side. He doesn't think twice. With one more deadly strike, he completes the job and turns to face me."Stay close," he growls, looking over the battlefield with his golden gaze. "I won’t let them touch you."I tighten my hold on my dagger and nod.Bennet, on the other hand, battles like a man under a spell. His movements are precise, his strikes are powerful, and each attack is planned for maximum damage. Tonight, he is different. He doesn't hesitate or let any residual feelings stop him. With every enemy he defeats, it seems as though h

    As we run through the woodland, Callum's hand firmly holding mine, the tension in the air is palpable. Every stride Victor's army takes gets louder and closer until I can hear it echoing in my ears. The trees appear to close in, winding around us like a prison, and my heart thuds in my chest."We must continue to move," Callum exhorts in a stern yet quiet voice. Even though I can feel the weight of the looming conflict bearing down on us, his eyes spark with resolve.I nod, but my body is exhausted from the mental maelstrom roiling inside of me as much as the running, and my legs feel heavy. Though Bennet's revelation still taints my thoughts like a poison, I can't afford to be weak right now. Not when we are about to die.The rustle of leaves in front of me abruptly stops me in my tracks. As others start to appear out of the darkness, I know what's happening and my blood chills. Victor's outlaws. They are present. There were dozens of them, encircling us from all sides and obstructin
