บททั้งหมดของ The Omega He Banished : บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

Reylap’s POVA low groan rumbled from somewhere in the corner, muffled and choked. The air was thick with the metallic tang of something foul, not blood, but a sickly sweetness that made my stomach clench. Their breathing was ragged around me, shallow gasps and snorts. It had been working. The medicine, the poison, whatever you wanted to call it, was doing its job. They were slowing, losing their edges,the snarls softened into whimpers. I could taste the victory, bitter and cold, even as my limbs ached and my belly felt heavy.“You… you tricky bitch,” one of them slurred, his voice thick, like mud. I heard him shift, a drag of fabric against the damp earth of the cellar floor. He tried to push himself up, but his grunts of effort quickly became a choked cough."Just rest," I whispered, my voice barely audible even to myself. "It'll make the pain go away." The lie felt like ash on my tongue, but they were too far gone to care, too busy fighting the paralysis creeping through their mus

Reylap POVI drifted in and out of sleep, a hazy fog clinging to my mind. Every muscle in my body screamed in protest, a fiery ache that pulsed with each beat of my heart. But it wasn’t the sting of the cuts or the throb of the bruises that truly terrified me. It was the dull, persistent ache in the pit of my stomach, a cold knot of fear tightening with every wave of nausea. My hand flew to my belly, pressing instinctively. A faint, steady thrum met my touch, barely there, but enough. Relief washed over me, a dizzying wave that almost brought tears to my eyes. My pup. Still there. Still fighting.Rika had checked on me twice already, her scent a comforting anchor in the swirling darkness of my pain. She'd murmured reassurances, her voice soft but firm. "The baby's fine, Reylap. Just a scare. No real damage, I promise." But promises, I knew, could be broken. And fear, once it took root, was a stubborn, resilient thing.Eliott hadn’t left my side since he carried me back to this room. H

Syrn’s POVThe quiet of the pack house felt like a heavy blanket, suffocating me. Hours after everyone else had settled, I was still pacing my room, the expensive rugworn thin under my restless steps. Every thump of my foot against the floor echoed the thrumming anger in my chest. Eliott. Always Eliott. He’d spent the entire night out there, chasing after Reylap. Reylap, a broken omega, not even his chosen mate. A woman who’d shown up on our doorstep, belly swelling with some other wolf’s pup, desperate and pathetic.I had dared to hope, really, truly hoped. When the news of her kidnapping broke, a cruel, selfish part of me had sung. It would be over. Reylap would vanish, and Eliott, my wonderful, foolish brother, would finally turn his attention to someone worthy. Someone *I* approved of.But no. He’d carried her back inside, right through the main doors, like she was made of glass. His eyes, usually so stoic, had been wet with tears. I saw it all from the top of the grand staircase,

Elliott’s POVI stood outside Reylap’s door again, the scent of lavender and something uniquely hers drifting faintly through the wood. It was late, the house quiet, and I told myself I was just doing a final security check before falling into bed. A ridiculous lie, even to myself. I checked on her every night now, every single night since I found her battered and broken in that stranger’s living room. The bond, that undeniable pull, had sunk its roots deep inside me, growing stronger with each passing day. I couldn't deny it anymore, no matter how hard I tried. But I hadn’t told her. How could I? She carried another man’s pup, a pup born of a bond that had been shattered. It was a constant reminder, a shadow between us, and I hadn’t found the words yet, the right moment to lay my own heart bare.My pack, our pack, was healing, but the scars of the abduction ran deep. I’d doubled the patrols, especially around the main house. Every single staff member, from the groundskeepers to the

Reylap’s POVI stumbled into my room, the door slamming shut behind me with a hollow thud that echoed the emptiness inside me. My legs gave out. I sank to the floor, hot tears streaming down my face, the raw sobs tearing through my throat. It wasn't fair. None of it was fair.A soft knock came at the door, then it creaked open. "Reylap?" Navine's voice was gentle, laced with concern. She stepped inside, closing the door quietly. Her eyes were wide, filled with a sympathy I couldn’t bear to look at. She knelt beside me, pulling me into a warm embrace. "Oh, honey. Don't let them do this to you."I buried my face in her shoulder, my voice muffled by her shirt. "It hurts, Navine. It hurts so much. How can they say those things?"She stroked my hair. "Because they're cruel, my love. Because they're scared. But you can't let it burn you from the inside. You have to learn to fight fire with fire."I pulled back, wiping furiously at my cheeks. "But how? Elliott won't believe me. He's too… t
