The Omega Mated To The Four

Chapter 196

I sat in the dim light of our makeshift sleeping area as the last embers of night surrendered to the gentle glow of dawn. Elijah lay before us, finally succumbing to exhaustion-his battered, unconscious form cradled carefully by Alex and Austin, the twins whose faces were filled with worry and exhaustion.

I couldn't tear my eyes away from him. Every bruise, every cut, every shard of pain etched onto his skin was a silent testament to what he had endured. His right eye was now swathed in a thick bandage, the skin around it was discolored and swollen into a grotesque shade of purple. Even his arm, was twisted at an odd, unnatural angle, bore evidence of injuries that Isaiah later claimed looked as if it had been broken by being crashed. The sight of him like this-so fragile, so broken-had my heart clenching with a mixture of sorrow and a bittersweet relief that he was still here.

I shifted my gaze from Elijah to the others.

Isaiah, was cleaning up the things we had used and arranging a few stolen sleeping bags—yes, I knew he had "borrowed" those from the supply depot, still sporting their price tags as a silent admission of his cunning resourcefulness.

I broke the silence, my voice trembling as I asked, "Is he going to be okay?"

Isaiah paused, his eyes meeting mine with a calm certainty that belied the chaos of the past few hours. "He's tougher than most," he said, his tone steady as he recalled a memory that seemed to momentarily lift the weight of the present. "I remember when we went mountain climbing. We both fell and He broke his arm and I twisted my ankle, that didn't stop him from carrying me he just gritted his teeth and kept on." He smiled softly at the recollection.

"Elijah has always been badass." Austin said "he played in last years quarter finals even when he twisted his knee and we still won."

"Yeah the dude is an iron tank." Alex chuckled.
