THIRTY FOUR
FREYA’s POV
We wave goodbye to Hunter and his entourage. I watch as three cars, all sleek and black pull out of the mansion’s driveway and into the night, wishing that I had been in the car instead of Elena.
My sister has been acting very strangely towards me ever since I told her of my intentions to become the Luna. She is probably laughing at me in the car right now, she looks down on me and I do not like that.
It matters not that Hunter does not feel for me yet, I will make him want me more than anything in the world. I will become the very air that he breathes, the only sight he will see and the one being his heart will beat for. I will be his woman no matter what, I will be the Luna of the Storm Riders pack.
ELENA’s POV
Hunter’s car pulls up in front of the biggest building I have ever seen. This place is huge! I rub my eyes, careful not to smudge the mascara tha

ELENA’s POV We turn around and come face to face with Kai Volok, the big bad of the north. The man smiles through his parched thin lips and I find myself taking a step back. I feel Hunter’s arms circle around my waist to stop me from retreating. “Kai, how have you been?” Hunter greets him. His voice is terse and I sense an undercurrent of uneasiness emanating from him. Hunter is tense and rightly so. I have heard of Alpha Kai’s name even as a child; this man is a legend but not in a good way. He kills for fun and dips his meals in the blood of his victims. “Never better,” Kai replies, his eyes graze my body and I grimace. I really should not have come. Behind him, a beautiful woman with an eye patch comes up and takes her place next to Kai. She wears a dress the colour of midnight that hugs her womanly curves and has two long blades tied to her back in the shape of an ‘X’. “You have news of Clyde?” Hunter asks. Around u

ELENA’s POV “Kai!” someone from the crowd shouts. Aiden runs back to the middle of the ballroom to check for a pulse, he shakes his head, there is none. The big bad of the north is dead, it should not have happened but it did and all eyes fall on Hunter. He gently lays Kai back onto the floor before making eye contact with Aiden. “He’s dead,” he states the obvious. Aiden nods his head silently and raises his hand, signalling for help. One of the attendees or waiter, I can’t tell the difference, they’re all dressed the same quickly exits the ballroom. I run towards Hunter, fall on my knees and cup his chin with both my hands. Tears line my eyes and blur my vision. I hate crying, but seeing him wounded like this breaks my heart. He palms my hand with his bloodied ones and shoots me a weak smile. “I’m fine,” he says. Fine my ass, his lips have gone blue and his face the colour of snow. My eyes trail to his blood-bo
Rise of the Omega THIRTY SEVEN
ELENA’s POV The kiss….our kiss is neither earth-shattering nor is it one filled with throes of passion and moans. It is none of that. Instead, it is like the waking up of one’s soul on a fine spring morning, allowing me to taste and feel every colour of the rainbow in their own sensual way. It is like tasting cotton candy as it melts in your mouth, coating every one of your senses with its softness and sweetness. Everything around me fades to nothingness, it is as if nothing else exists except the two of us. It is my first kiss and it is one I will remember for the rest of my life. “You should rest,” I whisper when our lips finally part. He massages my earlobe and offers a smile. “You should change.” We both look down at my bloodied dress and laugh a little. Or at least I do. Hunter grimaces right after a laugh escapes his lips, his wound must hurt him more than he lets on. I run my hand through his hair and give him a
Rise of the Omega THIRTY EIGHT
FREYA’s POV Elena and Hunter. Hunter and Elena. I should be happy for them, I should give them my blessings, I should wish them nothing but happiness. I know what she went through. She never said anything to me and mother has kept mum about it but I am no fool. I know she was raped because of me. I should be grateful she volunteered to take my place. I should, but I am not. I am a monster. I want Hunter, I want him more than anything else in the world. He consumes my every waking moment and I thrive just by drinking in the sight of his beautiful face. I know it’s strange, how can I fall for a man I barely know? He hasn’t even spoken more than a few sentences to me but there’s just something about him that draws me, that makes me yearn for him. Is it his power? His devilish charm or the fact that he is unattainable? I do not know, all I know is if I can’t have him then no one can, not even Elena. I step out of the kitchen and make my w

ELENA’s POVLights fill the eastern sky as the sun begins to peek over the horizon. Helios and I will be heading to the Hidden Forest soon. According to Helios, a witch who dwells among the forest animals can tell us more about the crystal.Swiftly, I slip on a simple white t-shirt and slide a light blue sweater over it. Helios does not like to wait, and I do not want to give him any more reason to grumble about me going with him on this journey any more than he has already complained to Kane.A knock comes at the door and I utter a ‘come in’ and breathe a sigh of relief to see Conner poking his head through the crack in the door. At least it isn’t Helios.“Hi,” Conner says and I smile, noticing how much taller he has grown since we first came here.“All packed and ready?” he asks and I nod. His head bobs up and down slightly upon my answer but makes no attempt to leave. He seem

FREYA’s POV I watch as my sister descends the stairs with Helios and the corners of my lips curl up into a smile. I cannot believe my luck, no one noticed that the pills have been tampered with. No one noticed the powder of pure silver that i laced the pills with. It seems that even the moon goddess has given me her blessings. With the bottle in my hand, I make my way to Hunter’s room. It is time to make him mine. ***** HUNTER’s POV I twist my body to take a better look at my back. It is gruesome, marred by scars from yesteryears’ battles and most recently from the fire in the warehouse and the wound courtesy of Kai. We werewolves heal fast but the scars will always remain to remind us of all that we had lost. I clench my jaw as I slip into a plain shirt, trying to ignore the phantom pains that gnaw at my back. A gentle knock comes at my door and for a moment, my heart soars and all pain is forgot
Rise of the Omega FORTY ONE
ELENA’s POV The night is filled with a labyrinth of stars and as we stand at the borders of the forest, Helios raises his hand. “You men stay here,” he orders before turning to point at me. “Elena, you come with me.” I nod and take a step forward. The rest of the men stand at ease like soldiers and look at us silently, anxiety written all over their faces. One of them gives me a fist pump and I smile back, grateful for the support. Helios whistles and rubs his hands together like a little boy awaiting his birthday present. “Let’s go, it’s time to say hello to the Witch.” Helios is excited for not everyone gets to meet the Witch of the Hidden Forest. I have heard of her great name before, once long ago when father told us bedtime stories. The Witch has lived in the forest all her life but even without setting a foot out from the canopy of trees, she sees and knows more than all of us combined. An
Rise of the Omega FORTY TWO
ELENA’s POV The Witch is a mystery. She had healed Helios, shared with us the crystal’s knowledge and yet she has not asked for anything in return. I stand next to Helios who has awoken and he bows deeply before the Witch. “Great one,” Helios says and I raise an eyebrow. I have never heard him address anyone with so much respect before. “Please, can you please tell us where the crystal is, or at the very least where the bastard, I mean, where Clyde is?” He tugs at my arm, trying to make me bow too but I shoo his hand away. The Witch smiles at our exchange, she is amused. “I cannot reveal the crystal’s location for if I do, chaos will ensue and war will erupt for everyone who lust after greed and power will be after it.” Helios’ face falls. He is disappointed but understands and respects the Witch’s reasoning, as do I. The greed for such power will only create mayhem, pain and grief. It is better for us not to kno
