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.

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.

this time. They hadn't bullied me, or pushed me away, or treated me like I was invisible. They looked at me now with love and adoration, and though it terrified me, it also...

I didn't realize I was holding. "I'm ready." I said and

Lunar Redemption Day celebrations were in full swing by the time we reached the main clearing. Music drifted through the air, mingling with the laughter and chatter of the pack. A band made up of elders played, the music was like always felt like a tale being told.
