The Omega: Mated To The Four

Chapter Hundred and One

We drove to the outskirts of town, following the directions given to us.

The further we went, the more the landscape changed. The trees grew taller, their trunks thicker, their branches tangled like skeletal fingers reaching toward the sky.

And the sounds-

Or rather, the lack of them.

At first, I barely noticed. The car's engine still hummed, the tires stil crunched

against the dirt road. But as Alex pulled to a stop near an old, weathered sign, I finally realized what was missing.

The world had gone silent.

No birds.

No wind.

Nothing

Isaiah exhaled. "This is it."

We stepped out of the car.

The forest loomed ahead of us, a black mass of twisting branches.

Austin let out a nervous laugh. "Great. A creepy, haunted forest. Exactly what I wanted."

Isaiah smirked. "Scared?"

Austin scoffed. "No. Just... cautious."

Alex rolled his eyes. "Let's go."

We stepped into the forest.

And immediately, the silence wrapped around us like a vice.

It was like stepping into another world.

Every step felt too loud. The snapping of twigs beneath our boots echoed, filling the space where the sounds of nature should have been.

I swallowed hard, trying to steady my breathing. If there was magic here, we needed to move carefully.

The air was dense, thick with the scent of damp earth and decaying wood. My wolt sued inside me, restless and alert. Something wasn't right.

I turned to the others.

Elijah stood beside me, his shoulders tense. Isaiah surveyed the area eyes narrowed as if he could see couldn't. Austin stretched, pretending to be casual, but the way his gers twitched at his sides gave away his nerves. Alex, of something the rest of us
