Evans’ POV

As Garrick's words slithered into my head, it felt like the world around me shrank.

"Do you want to see the truth, Evans?"

No.

I didn't.

However, my silence was sufficient.

Taking a step closer, Garrick grinned and said, "Too close, too suffocating." His angular features were rendered even more menacing by the deep shadows cast across his face by the flickering torches around the temple walls.

He tilted his head and pondered, "You hesitate," perhaps. "Afraid of what you might find?"

My nails were digging into my palms as I balled my fists. "I don’t trust you."

"Good." He grinned more broadly. "That means you’re learning."

No one dared to move, yet the Nightclaw warriors stood tense, their weapons still out. The quiet warning from the Nightclaw Alpha's eyes was directed directly at me.

Avoid doing this.

However, I felt a need to know the truth that I was unable to articulate.

I swallowed hard and glanced back at Garrick. "If you try anything—"

  • The Omega's Redemption.   Chapter 33: The Eclipse Ultimatum.

    Kieran’s POV The temple was oppressively tense. The old stone walls were covered in lengthy, shaky shadows as the candles' light wavered violently. Evans—Selene—stood in the middle, her fists locked at her sides, her breathing erratic. The aftershock of whatever had just occurred was still affecting me. My wolf was prowling anxiously beneath the surface of my skin, tingling from the force that had burst between us when I touched her. I was uneasy about more than just the power, though. It was her. She had something hidden.She had avoided staring at me ever since she awoke from that blinding vision. Her eyes were far away and her jaw was clenched, as if she were ensnared in a conflict I couldn't see. And whatever she had seen in that vision had changed her, I knew that much. I moved forward a step. "What did you see, Evans?" She didn't respond right away. With a sigh, she turned slightly and looked around the temple walls as though looking for a way out. At las

  • The Omega's Redemption.   Chapter 34: Divided Loyalties

    Evans’ POVThe tension-filled air pressed down on me like a crushing burden. The Nightclaw stronghold's stone hallways seemed smaller than before, with the walls closing in on me as I moved. Even though my heart was pounding in my ears, I made myself keep my shoulders level and my resolve unwavering. Kieran was unable to comprehendHe would never. I could sense him standing behind me, his intense stare piercing my back like a flaming flame. I knew better, but his steps were heavy, deliberate, controlled. Right now, Kieran is under control. "Evans." His voice broke the uncomfortable quiet between us with a sharp tone.I ignored him and kept walking. "Evans, stop." His hand shot out, gripping my wrist before I could get any farther. A spark of something hot surged through my veins at the contact—power, or rage, or something far more dangerous. I turned to face him after tearing my hand free. I yelled, "What?" As Kieran moved closer, his tall figure cast a shadow ove

  • The Omega's Redemption.   Chapter 35: The Ritual of the Nightclaw.

    Evans’ POVThe Nightclaw temple was filled with incense smoke, which coiled about the darkened room in spectral tendrils. Flames flew furiously from the ceremonial torches, casting shadows against the stone walls. With their faces concealed by dark hoods and their deep chanting echoing in my bones, the elders formed a perfect circle. I stood in the middle of it all, my heart thumping in my chest. That was it. The ritual that would decide whether I was a fraud or the Lunar Queen reborn was the Ritual of the Nightclaw. The Nightclaw Alpha had stated that; *you had to take the test. The reality will only become apparent when you confront yourself.* As a matter of fact, I was not prepared. My eyes darted through the strange room as I tried to fathom the event that clouded me, struggling to pull off from the cuff that tied my wrist. “I am not ready for this.” All the words fell on deaf ears, every movement still on the chant they resonated.My eyes filled with tears streaming

  • The Omega's Redemption.   Chapter 36: The Eclipse Strikes.

    Kieran’s POVIt was too quiet. There would be a storm. It's one of blood and war instead of wind and rain. Gazing into the dense treeline that encircled us, I stood at the edge of the Nightclaw camp. Something felt wrong beneath the smell of damp earth and pine that filled my lungs. Beneath my skin, my wolf shifted uneasily, growling in warning. *An event is imminent.* Evans— or Selene, as they now called her— I was still unconscious from the rite when I turned to face the temple. She had fallen, her breath shallow, her body soaked with perspiration, and the Nightclaw elders had brought her inside. She was evolving. Before I left Darkmoon, Briony had told me that Evans' awakening may be dangerous, not only for her, but for everyone around her. For the preternatural world. The burden of that warning now weighed heavily on my shoulders as I gazed out into the limitless forest in front of me. Garrick had stated, "We should move her," prior to my leaving him in the main wa

  • The Omega's Redemption.   Chapter 37: The Truth Behind Garrick

    Evans’ POvLike a second skin, darkness clung to me. My limbs dug into the chilly stone below me, and my body felt heavy. My lungs burned as if I had been drowning, and I gasped for air. The air was thick with the smell of smoke, blood, and something foul, and it covered my throat. Upon opening my eyes, I saw that the world was in ruin. I was shattered the Nightclaw stronghold, the place that had taken me in, that had called me by a name I could hardly comprehend. The bodies of warriors who had once stood tall and uncompromising now nothing more than lifeless husks were strewn all over the temple grounds. Dark and motionless, as if the land itself had been mortally wounded, blood pooled between the cracks of the stone. With my head spinning, I pushed myself to my feet. The ritual and the excruciating pain I felt after the relic burned its mark into my palm were the last things I remembered. Then there were the murmurs. The visions. *You weren't supposed to live.* I wishe

  • The Omega's Redemption.   Chapter 38: A Bond Forged in Blood.

    Kieran’s POVThe Nightclaw camp was a smoldering cemetery. The smell of charred wood, blood, and death was carried by smoke that curled into the chilly night air. Some of our warriors' and some of theirs' bodies were strewn all over the clearing. However, the fight was far from over. The Eclipse Coven had temporarily retreated. They would return. With her back to me and her shoulders swaying with every trembling breath, Evans stood in the center of it all. The faint glow from the mark on her palm persisted, as though it were whispering a promise she wasn't prepared to hear. I let out a sharp breath and moved in her direction. "We must depart." “No. She spoke in a raspy, tired voice, but unyielding. Oh, how obstinate she is. I balled my fists up. "They'll return." They will not stop until they have you — you witnessed what they did to your warriors. Then she turned, her expression unreadable, her eyes wild. "So, what would you recommend? I run? Hide?” "Yes." I

  • The Omega's Redemption.   Chapter 39: The Two Kings.

    Evans’ POVThe mist that surrounded me was heavy and oppressive, encircling my limbs like invisible chains. Despite not touching anything, my feet felt as though they were delving further into something enormous and ancient. Standing in the infinite emptiness, a place that belonged neither to the living nor to the dead, sent a shiver down my spine. An idea. This place of echoes and silence, where the weight of invisible eyes pressed against my skin, was a place I had been before. However, it felt different this time. heavier. As though someone—something—was anticipating my arrival. Ahead, a glimmer of light appeared, piercing the night like a lone flame against a starless sky. Then I moved forward as though pulled by an unseen force. When the mist cleared in front of me and I saw two figures standing side by side, my breath caught. Two monarchs. One stood in a golden glow, his presence commanding, warm, and oddly familiar. In addition to his physical strength, he exuded a

  • The Omega's Redemption.   Chapter 40: War Comes to Nightclaw.

    Kieran’s POVThe pungent smell of burning wood and flesh blended with the pungent smell of blood. It was the realization that Nightclaw was surrounded. The sound of the first explosion, which echoed through the valley like the wrath of the gods themselves, had broken the silence of the evening. When the first screams ripped through the air, I was following Evans' scent on the outskirts of the main village. My heels moved in fast cycles, every droplet of sweat forming a line of stream through my cheeks as my pulse raced in escaping velocity towards the scene that hallowed deep inside the forest. My Chaos had broken out by the time I got to the center of the pack. This is where the Eclipse Coven was. In the streets, warriors engaged in combat, their claws tearing through flesh as steel met steel. Known for their pride and tenacity, the Nightclaw Pack was falling.And I was unable to locate her. “Where was Evans? Is she safe?” I muttered the barrage of questions that rippled th

  • The Omega's Redemption.   Chapter 72: Echoes of Past lives.

    Evans' povSomething ancient, something alive, was thick in the ruins' heavy air. Draven moved closer, his silver eyes shining with a mixture of patience and hunger, and I stood motionless. My fingers were twitching at my sides, and my pulse was pounding in my ears. He said, "I have something to show you," The want to turn away was part of me. To give him a punch and run away. However, another aspect—the one that initially brought me here—kept me grounded. I required clarification. With his fingers hovering just above my temple, Draven raised a hand. Softly, "Let me in, Evans," he urged. "See for yourself." With a constricted throat, I swallowed. All of my instincts told me to turn him away and to fight whatever he was attempting.“You should stop that, you think it's that easy right?” My voice barely above a whisper as I cringed gradually. “I know it's not gonna be easy for you that was why I called here, Evans,” he moved closer to me, closing the distance between u

  • The Omega's Redemption.   Chapter 71: The Hunt for Truth

    Kieran’s POV I sensed something wasn't right as soon as I entered Evans' vacant tent. The air was unspoiled and stuffy. The linens were still silky and unaltered, and the bed was still made. My chest coiled with a keen stiffness. I whirled around, looking around the pitch-black camp for her in the moonlight. My nostrils strained, searching for her aroma of wild rain and warm cedar, but it was too subtle. Lost. My throat rumbled with a roar. "No."With my heart hammering my ribs, I bounded out. She wouldn't have left me in the dark. Not after everything. Unless... I felt my stomach tighten with a horrible conclusion. She had gone to meet Draven. Just hearing the name made my blood boil. I pushed through the branches, moving quickly, my claws aching to reach farther. Every second since she had met him, every time I had witnessed her hesitating, every glimpse of something unreadable in her eyes—all of it was replayed in my head. I didn't want to accept it. Refu

  • The Omega's Redemption.   Chapter 70: Shattered Truths

    Evans’ POV The smell of pine and damp dirt filled the cold night air. Long shadows were created over the thick woodland by the crescent moon, which was low in the sky and covered in floaty clouds. I didn't stop even though every step felt heavier than the one before. I was unable to stop from the moment the door slammed closed against me.Kieran walked in, as though my thought had beckoned him to return. But what I expected was a smiley face, only for what seemed like a cold expression shot back at me. “Evans, I have something for you.” He said, moving closer to me. A paper clenched at his hand. “What is that?” I asked, my eyes rested on the paper that he held.“She is now acting as though it is a surprise. But it's fine.” His voice was laced with mockery.“What are you talking—-” I was stunned by what caught my eyes. “Draven.” I muttered, taking the letter from Kieran's hands.“Ya, that's it!” I could not get Draven's message out of my head. L"Come to the ruins with me. By myself.

  • The Omega's Redemption.   Chapter 69: Defying Fate

    Kieran’s POVMy thoughts were loud, yet the forest was quiet. Even after leaving Evans last night, the pressure of what she had said still weighed heavily on me. *Something inside me responds to him.* The words that had escaped Evans lips earlier.The talk still hurt no matter how many times it resonated deep inside me repeatedly. No amount of reason or anger could make the deep, sluggish ache in my chest go away. All my life, I have been a warrior. Killed rogues. Killed wolves. Stood fearlessly in the face of monsters. However, this? In ways I never anticipated, this was shattering me. I leaned against the training post behind the barracks and clenched my fists, my claws cutting into my palms. I had to strike something. Shatter something. Anything to calm the raging tempest in my brain. But before I could, I felt a presence coming. I turned my faze to rest on the old woman, holding a walking stick. It was Briony. Even though she walked lightly, her presence was si

  • The Omega's Redemption.   Chapter 68: A Truth That Hurts.

    Evans’ POV Silence was thick in the night. That was not a calm kind. The kind that weighed heavily on my chest, stifling me and being dense with unsaid words. I could still feel Kieran's absence like a deep ache, even though his footsteps had long since gone into the night. Even though my wrist was no longer glowing, it continued to burn, as though the last of the power connected to Draven would not let me go. I placed my hand against it, like I could erase it, muffle the connection. But I was unable to since it was real and not in some sort of delusion. And I had told all the lies I could. I turned abruptly when a rustle of leaves pierced the stillness, my heart thumping. Standing at the edge of the clearing, partially obscured by shade, was Kieran. His stiff, inscrutable posture was characterized by his arms folded across his chest. I was shivering because of the intensity with which his eyes—those storm-filled, black eyes—were fixed on mine. He had returned. But w

  • The Omega's Redemption.   Chapter 67: A Mark That Betrays

    Evans’ POV Even though the woodland was quiet once more, the storm inside of me continued to rage. My body buzzed with the lingering strength that wasn't really mine even after th scuffle was over and the Eclipse warriors had fled like shadows slipping through night crevices. I didn't know if it had ever existed. The heat that was still seething beneath my skin was not much relieved by the chilly night air. I had to fight every breath I took to suppress the energy, act as though nothing had changed, and ignore the fact that my wrist was still burning. However, I was aware that I wasn't the only one that noticed. Kieran was keeping an eye on me. His eyes, like twin shards of ice, had been fixed on me since the end of the battle, penetrating the darkness. It weighed heavily on my back, and I could feel the tension between us churning with unanswered questions. Focusing on the firm weight in my hand, I strengthened my hold on my dagger. I'll do anything to get grounde

  • The Omega's Redemption.   Chapter 66: Can I control my power?

    Evans’ POVIt was too quiet at night. Silence was a predator that lurked just before turmoil broke out, but I had learned to trust it. The smell of pine and damp earth filled the air, but there was something more there as well. A hint of deterioration. A caution. Every muscle in my body tensed like a spring as I gripped my daggers tighter. The others gathered around me, anxious, anticipating. The warriors of Eclipse were near. I sensed it—a weight against my flesh, an invisible force scuttling through my bloodstream. A glimmer of motion. In between the woods, a shadow passed my vision. I whispered, just loud enough for the warriors beside me to hear, "Remain vigilant." I heard knives unsheathing with a gentle click. A few feet away, Kieran's presence served as a reassuring anchor despite the stress from our previous conflict at his room. However, I was unable to consider that at this time. A sigh. A change in the atmosphere. Then….A haze of movement. The ini

  • The Omega's Redemption.   Chapter 65: Shaking Love.

    Evans' POVI could sense a problem as soon as I entered Kieran's quarters. He was standing by the fireplace, the walls framed by sharp shadows from the flames. He had his back to me, his fists clenched, his shoulders tense. The tense atmosphere in the room was oppressive. I gulped the lump that had formed in my throat, hoping my heart would calm down. With caution, I whispered, "Kieran," scarcely raising my voice above a whisper. He didn't look around. His eyes still blazed to the outskirt of his room. There was a dense, oppressive silence between us. I stepped closer, but his voice sliced through the silence like a sword before I could get close. "For what length of time were you going to conceal this from me?" I went cold. He spoke in a tone that was worse than anger. It was tinged with pain, treachery, and an untamed, raw quality that was hidden beneath the surface. I took a swallow. "What did I keep from you?" He laughed sharply and without humor. "Evans,

  • The Omega's Redemption.   Chapter 64: The Eclipse King's Return

    Evans PovTension permeated the war chamber's atmosphere. The weight of the revelation seemed to descend upon us like an unbreakable storm cloud, and the walls, adorned with faded banners and old maps, appeared to close in. Standing in the middle, Lucien's glittering eyes were piercing with power. Even though he was always an imposing presence, there was something about his posture today that seemed different—tense, cautious, as though even he wasn't sure how to say the words that would make all the difference. Briony's face next him was unreadable. She had always been hard to figure out, a lady who kept secrets like weapons and was selective about when and how to reveal them.They had both decided to share one of the most deadly realities of all tonight. With a calm but foreboding tone, Lucien started, "The return of the Eclipse King is not merely a possibility." "It is unavoidable." I tightened my jaw. "And what does that mean exactly?" Briony remarked, her emerald ey
