The Assassin Omega

Chapter 7: The Trials Part 1

Early the next morning, Kyle went over to Kai's house to prepare him for the trials that he would be facing today. Walking up to the door, he knocked but did not receive a response. After a few moments, he knocked again but still did not get a response. Testing the door, the Beta found that it had been left unlocked, something that immediately worried him considering the state of the pack at the moment. Opening the door quickly, he called out to Kai.

"Kai, are you here?"

Again, he received no response and decided to walk farther into the cabin only to notice Kai's seemingly lifeless body on the ground. Panic immediately set in for Kyle as he rushed over to his cousin's body, and upon noticing the Omega breathing, he let out a sigh of relief. Picking Kai up, he transferred him from the floor to the couch, afterwards kneeling down and lightly shaking the smaller man.

"Kai... Kai, wake up! Kai, please wake up!"

After a few moments, the Omega finally came to, "Kyle? Where am I?" Kai said in a hushed tone, barely making out the words.

"You are in the living room, Kai. It seems like you fainted. Do you remember what happened?"

Kai thought for a moment, before jumping up in a seated position, his eyes wide in confusion and fear.

"I don't know what happened, but I had a dream about my father. It was so real Kyle and when I woke up I went to the bathroom and my eyes were blue. I heard him, Kyle. I heard him." Kai said frantically, his voice laced with fear.

"You heard your father?"

"No Kyle, I heard Zafir. He was howling. I thought he was gone." Kai put his face in his hands, his whole body was shaking. "How..."

But before Kai could finish his sentence, there was a knock on the open front door, before a female voice called out, "Kyle, Alexander and the others are waiting. We have to go."

Both Kai and Kyle looked up to notice that Tasha, the warrior that had escorted Kai to Alexander's office, stood at the front door. She gave them a look of judgement, her face slightly scrunched up in a manner of distrust and disdain. Tasha was not a fan of the assassin being on the pack's territory, especially since the Omega was seemingly given free reign to do whatever he pleased during the night.

"Okay, Tasha, just give us a moment please." Kyle said authoritatively.

Tasha folded her arms and at first looked as if she was about to argue before sighing and nodding her head dismissively.

"Fine," she finally said, turning around and leaving the cabin.

Kyle turned back to Kai, "Do you think you will be able to do the trials today?" Kai only nodded in response. "Okay, we have to go. We can talk about this some more afterwards. How long is it going to take to get ready?"

"Just give me a few minutes. It won't take me too long."

"Okay, I will go wait for you outside."

Kyle waited outside with Tasha for a few minutes before Kai's front door opened and the Omega stepped out. He was wearing basically the same outfit that he wore when he arrived at the pack except his mask was missing and his hair was done up in a right bun that sat nearly on top of his head secured with a golden hair pin that was in the shape of a bow and arrow. As Kai walked towards the pair, Kyle looked down and noticed that the Omega was even wearing the heeled boots that he wore the other day.

"You know you are fighting today right? Why are you wearing heels?"

"I am an Omega Kyle, and a short one at that. These trials are all about impressing the Elders and I do not want them to count me out before I even start."
