THE OMEGA'S VOW CHAPTER SIXTY - NINE
LYRA POV"Sit down," Aelindra said."I'm fine standing.""You won't be in a minute."I sat.The lodge's main room ran long and low-ceilinged, a fire someone had gotten going in the stone hearth throwing orange light across faces I still hadn't finished learning.Gideon sprawled in a chair with his boots up on a crate, Rafael cleaning a cut along his forearm, Elijah standing near the window with his arms folded, watching the tree line like it might do something interesting.Kael sat on the arm of the chair beside mine, close enough that his knee touched my shoulder.Darius stood apart from all of it, near the door, the way he'd been standing apart from everything since the tree line.Aelindra took the chair across from me. She didn't sit the way other people sat in a room — she arranged herself, like furniture being placed with intention, and folded her hands in her lap."You asked how far back," she said."I did.""The Hollowing wasn't the beginning. It was the middle." She let that s

AELINDRA POVThe safehouse was two hours north, an old hunting lodge that belonged to no pack registry Kael's Enforcers could confirm, which meant it had probably belonged to his father, or his father's father, held in reserve the way careful men hold things in reserve.I sat outside it while the others went in.Lyra had looked back at me twice on the walk from the tree line. I hadn't gone in either time. There was a fallen log at the edge of the clearing, weathered pale, and I sat on it the way I'd sat on the one outside the village three days ago, because some habits outlast the reasons for them.The groove in that alcove floor.I hadn't expected it to still be there.Twelve years, Marcus had said in that cell to Kael, though he didn't know the number was wrong. Fifteen, since they built the facility. But the alcove was older than either count. I'd worn that groove into the stone over years. I stopped counting somewhere past the first decade, sitting in the same position because sit

KAELWe hit the second checkpoint at a dead run.Two more guards, faster to react than the first pair — someone down the line had radioed ahead. The first one got a shot off before Rafael took him down, and the round went wide into stone, close enough that Lyra flinched hard against my side."Down," I said.She didn't need telling twice. We cleared the corner low, Gideon and Elijah's people already engaging the second guard, and I pulled her past the fight rather than into it.Her hand stayed fisted in the back of my jacket the whole way, which told me more than anything she could have said out loud.The radio crackled. Two minutes."The stairs are forty feet," I said. "Straight corridor after this junction.""Then go."We went.The corridor opened into the junction and I saw the problem before I had words for it — a woman standing dead center, silver hair pulled back, hands folded in front of her like she'd been waiting exactly this long and not a second more.Caelindra Voss.Alone.

LYRAThe alarm didn't sound like an alarm.No siren. No flashing light bleeding under the door. Just a change in the air pressure that I felt before I understood what it meant.There was a low pulse through the walls, once, then again three seconds later, like something enormous had exhaled somewhere far below me.I was still sitting over the drain when it happened.I pulled my hand back from the stone and sat up straight, listening.Footsteps, fast, out of rhythm with the two guards who usually walked this corridor on schedule. More than two sets. Boots moving with the specific urgency of people who hadn't planned for whatever was happening.I stood.The suppression in the room hadn't changed. I checked — reached for the Veyrith presence the way I'd been practicing for two nights, and found it exactly as dim and exactly as pressed thin as it had been an hour ago.Whatever was happening outside this cell wasn't happening to the walls themselves.I could hear voices now. Muffled throug

KAELThe eastern face of the complex looked like nothing.That was the point, Aelindra had said, kneeling in the dirt with her finger tracing a door that didn't exist on any blueprint I owned.A maintenance panel set flush into grey concrete, no handle or seam visible from six feet away. She found it by touch, walking the wall with her palm flat against the stone like she was reading something written under the surface."Here," she said.I ran my hand over the spot. Nothing. Smooth concrete, cold under my palm, identical to the ten feet on either side of it."There's nothing here.""There's a door here." She pressed three fingers against a point I couldn't distinguish from any other point. "It opens for blood. Veyrith blood specifically. The builders made sure of that."Gideon shifted his weight behind me. "And if she doesn't have any."Aelindra looked at her own palm.She didn't ask permission. She drew a short blade from somewhere inside her coat and opened a shallow line across her

LYRAThe drain was the only honest thing in the room.Everything else in the cell had been built to lie. The stone walls were finished smooth in a way that wanted to read as ancient, though I doubted they were older than ten years.The ceiling height had been calculated, I was fairly sure, to feel like more space than it actually held — high enough that you didn't feel buried, low enough that you never forgot you were underground.The drain didn't perform anything. Old grate, rust at the seams, a four-inch gap into whatever ran beneath the floor.I'd found it on the first day, sitting against the wall doing nothing because there was nothing else available to do, and noticed the suppression thinned there. The way frost thins on a window in the first hour of sun — still cold, still solid, but no longer solid enough to block the shape of what was behind it.I'd been sitting over the drain for close to an hour by then, knees against my chest, palm flat on the stone beside the grate, when

~ LYRA ~Breakfast was a quiet affair.I sat across from Kael in the dining hall. The table was long enough to seat fifty people, but it was just the two of us. The high ceilings and stone walls amplified every sound—the scrape of cutlery, the clink of glasses."You did well today," Kael said, not

CHAPTER SIX~ KAEL ~I watched her sleep.It wasn't something I usually did. I didn't linger, I didn't hesitate. I moved, I struck, and I left.But Lyra Hale was different.She was curled up on the guest bed, buried under the grey duvet. Her breathing was even now, but her hands were still clenched

~LYRA~The adrenaline crash was brutal.My legs finally gave out when we got back to the penthouse. Kael didn't say a word. He just scooped me up, carried me past the dark living room, and set me down on the guest bed."Don't move," he said."I can't," I whispered.He left the room and came back wi

~ LYRA ~Ten minutes.That was all the time I had to pack my life into a bag. Not that I had much of a life left to pack.I threw the few clothes Kael had bought me into a duffel bag—jeans, t-shirts, a thick sweater. I grabbed the toiletries from the bathroom counter. My hands were shaking so bad I
