The Omega: Mated To The Four

Chapter Thirty Two-1

The day had arrived, bright and crisp, with the air humming in anticipation. Mariah had practically shoved the dress into my hands that morning, her eyes sparkling with excitement. It was soft silver, owing and simple, yet somehow elegant. The way it hugged my waist and cascaded down to my knees made me feel like I belonged here. It was a strange sensation.

"I can't believe you're actually going this year," Mariah said as she helped me zip up the back.

"Why wouldn't 1?" I replied, avoiding her gaze in the mirror.

"Last year, you spent the entire night hiding behind a tree, remember?"

I didn't respond. Of course, I remembered. Last year had been... lonely. Watching the pack celebrate from the shadows had only reminded me of how disconnected I felt-from them.

"Wow," Alex said, breaking the silence. "You look... stunning."

Austin whistled low, elbowing his brother. "Understatement of the year."

Isaiah stepped forward, his lips twitching into a small smile. "They're right, you know."

Elijah didn't say anything, but the way his eyes softened as he looked at me said enough.

I felt my cheeks heat up, and I shifted uncomfortably, brushing a strand of hair behind my ear. "You guys clean up pretty well yourselves," I said, my voice quieter than I intended.

For a moment, none of us spoke. They just stood there, looking at me like I was the only person in the world. And for the first time,

I wasn't sure if the knot in my stomach was fear or something else entirely.

"You ready?" Elijah finally asked, offering his hand.

I hesitated. It wasn't the offer itself that made me pause-it was the way his hand hovered in the air, steady and unwavering, like

It didn't just fill the air; it seemed to move through me, grounding me to
