The Omega Mated To The Four

The Alpha Bond 235

The battlefield was eerily silent. The dust had settled, and the bodies of the fallen lay still beneath the moon's glow. The war was

finally over.

I took a deep breath, but it was heavy-filled with the weight of loss So many had died. Brave werewolves, powerful witches, warriors who had given everything to secure our future.

I clenched my fists, my nails biting into my palms. Was this the price of peace?

A soft breeze carried the scent of blood and burnt earth. Around me my people moved-some searching for survivors, others tending to the wounded. The air was filled with hushed voices, murmured prayers, and the quiet cries of those who had lost loved

Rowena nodded, but I could see the weariness in her posture. We were all tired. Exhausted. But we weren't done yet.

And we would rebuild.

I turned back to Rowena. "The witches fought beside us. They bled for this victory just as much as the wolves did. It's time for a new alliance, one that isn't built on old grudges and mistrust."

Rowena's lips twitched in a faint smile. "You sound like a queen."
