The Omega Mated To The Four

The Alpha Bond 114

The morning sun barely crested over the horizon when we gathered at the training grounds, the crisp air humming with tension. The past few days had been grueling, each lesson pushing us further Today, however, was different. I could feel it in my bones.

Eira stood at the center of the field, her stance rigid, eyes sharp with a knowing glint. I'd learned to recognize that look. It meant today would be another day where she pushed us to our limits.

"Elijah," she said, turning toward my mate. "Today, you're going to learn the true weight of responsibility."

Elijah stiffened slightly. He was already a natural protector-his presence alone was enough to make me feel safe. But I had a feeling that whatever she had planned, it wouldn't be easy.

"You'll be maintaining a full barrier," Eira continued, raising her hand. The air shimmered, and suddenly, glowing orbs of energy surrounded. her, flickering with unstable power. They pulsed with raw magic, dangerous and unpredictable.

Elijah's jaw tightened. "And for how long?"

Eira's lips curled into a smirk. "As long as it takes."

My mates and I exchanged glances. We had practiced defensive magid before, but maintaining a shield while being bombarded with energy attacks? That was another level entirely.

Elijah stepped forward, rolling his shoulders. "Alright. Let's do this."

Eira gave a sharp nod. "Stormi, you will assist. Your job is to channel the moon's essence and help sustain the barrier. Your mates will deflect attacks, but if you fail, Elijah's shield will crumble."

A lump formed in my throat. It sounded simple enough, but I knew better. My wolf's magic was powerful but unstable. If I didn't channel it properly, I could end up draining myself-or worse, breaking the connection completely.

I took a deep breath and nodded. "Got it."

Eira didn't wait. She flicked her wrist, and the first orb shot toward us.

Elijah reacted instantly, summoning a shimmering blue dome of energy that enclosed us in a protective sphere. The orb slammed into the barrier, sending ripples across its surface, but the shield held strong.

Another attack followed, then another.

Isaiah stepped forward, his shadows coiling around him like armor. With a flick of his wrist, tendrils of darkness lashed out, intercepting a stray orb and dissipating its energy before it could reach us.

Austin and Alex moved in sync-Austin freezing the incoming blasts mid-air while Alex shattered them with controlled bursts of fire. They were working together, a perfectly balanced dance of offense and defense.
