The Omega Mated To The Four

The Alpha Bond 81

Chapter Eighty One-1

The morning air was thick with tension as we gathered in the clearing. The training had been brutal so far, pushing us to our limits, but today felt different. Heavier.

Eira stood before us, her silver eyes unreadable. "Today's challenge will be unlike any you've faced before," she said, pacing slowly. "Your enemy will not be an external force, but your own mind. You will endure illusions crafted to prey on your deepest fears."

A cold chill settled over me.

"Illusions?" Elijah asked, crossing his arms. "So, nothing physical?"

Eira tilted her head. "Your mind is just as powerful as your body. Sometimes, the worst battles are fought within."

I swallowed hard. That didn't sound reassuring.

"Each of you will be placed in an isolated chamber, where your fears will manifest. You must fight through them, or they will consume you." She let her gaze sweep over us. "Remember, nothing you see will be real... but the emotions will be. Face them, broken by them."

And then-

Darkness.

The moment the swirling mist swallowed me, I felt an eerie shift. My feet landed on solid ground, but the air was thick, suffocating, heavy with something unseen yet deeply familiar.

When the world sharpened around me, I froze.

I knew this place.

The packhouse.

But not as it was now-this was the past.

The scent of polished wood and faint traces of burning firewood lingered in the halls, just as it had when I was younger. The walls stretched high, the familiar creaky staircase ahead of me. The same long corridors where I had walked alone, too afraid to meet anyone's gaze,

My pulse pounded as footsteps echoed from around the corner,

And then-

Laughter.

The sound sent a cold shiver down my spine.

I knew those voices.

I turned the corner and saw them.

A younger version of my mates.

They were different back then. Not the strong, loyal, devoted men they were now- but the cruel, arrogant boys who had tormented

me when we were younger.

And in the center of their circle, standing small and fragile-

Was me.

My breath caught in my throat.

A younger version of myself stood there, shoulders curled inward, her eyes wide but filled with unshed tears.

Elijah stood with his arms crossed, his golden eyes sharp, indifferent. Alex was smirking, arms slung casually over Austin's shoulder, while Isaiah stood slightly behind them, his face unreadable.

They had her-me-cornered.
