The Omega Mated To The Four novel Chapter 157

The morning passed in a blur as we checked out of the hotel, grabbing our things before heading to the car. The adrenaline from the night before had faded, leaving an eerie quietness between us. But there was no time to linger. We had a destination.

Isaiah sat in the front, typing in the coordinates to the Appalachian region, where the Sacred Hall was located. The air was thick with anticipation as the GPS calculated the route.

“Alright,” Isaiah said, glancing back at us. “This will be a straight shot. If we keep up the speed, we should be there in a few hours.”

Elijah nodded, settling into the driver’s seat. “Let’s get moving before anything else decides to try and kill us.”

As soon as he pressed his foot to the gas, the car roared to life, speeding down the winding roads. The landscape blurred past, trees and hills melting together in streaks of green and gold. My stomach churned at the sheer speed, and I braced myself, gripping the armrest as we shot forward.

Austin let out a whoop from the backseat. “Now this is the kind of road trip I can get behind!”

“Yeah, yeah, Alex grumbled, still sore from his near–drowning experience. “Just don’t crash us, alright?”

Elijah smirked, eyes locked on the road. “Relax. I’ve got this.”

We drove for what felt like hours, crossing long stretches of highway, and then when we reached the ocean we soared into the sky. The journey was uneventful, almost too quiet. That was never a good sign. I kept my senses sharp, scanning the surroundings, waiting for something–anything–to go wrong.

And then it did.

Out of nowhere, a violent jolt shook the car. The dashboard flashed red, and warning alarms blared through the vehicle.

“What the hell was that?” I shouted, my heart slamming against my ribs.

“Something hit us!” Elijah gritted out, gripping the wheel as the car shuddered violently. “We’re going down!”

Panie surged through the cabin.

“I DON’T WANT TO DIE!” Austin screamed, clutching onto his seatbelt for dear life.

“WE’RE NOT GOING TO DIE!” Isaiah snapped at him, though his wide eyes betrayed his own fear.

The car spiraled downward, the once–clear sky now a blur of colors as we plummeted toward the ground. My breath came in sharp- gasps as I fought to think clearly.

“Was it the Children of the Eclipse?” I demanded, gripping the seat in front of me.

“I don’t know,” Elijah said through gritted teeth. “But whoever it is, they don’t want us reaching the Sacred Hall.”

“A sinking feeling settled in my gut. They had found us.

“PREPARE FOR AN AMBUSHI shouted over the chaos.

“BRACE YOURSELVES!” Elijah yelled as the ground rushed toward us

Everything was happening too fast. The car spun wildly, making it impossible to tell which way was up or down. The force of the descent pinned us to our seats, making every movement a struggle.

Then, just as suddenly as it had begun, we crashed.

The impact sent a deafening crack through the air as metal twisted and crunched around us. My body jerked forward violently, the seatbelt digging into my shoulder. A sharp pain shot through my ribs as we skidded across rough terrain before finally coming to a shuddering halt.

For a moment, there was only silence.

I gasped for breath, my ears ringing, my heart pounding so hard it hurt.

“Is everyone okay?” I croaked out, wincing as I pushed myself up.

A groan came from the passenger seat. “Define ‘okay,“” Alex muttered, rubbing his head.

Isaiah coughed, shaking glass from his hair. “We’re alive. Barely.”

Austin let out a weak laugh. “I changed my mind. That was worse than drowning.”

Elijah groaned, forcing himself upright in the driver’s seat. His knuckles were white where he gripped the wheel. “Stormi?” His voice was hoarse. “Are you hurt?”

I shook my head, still dazed. “No. Just rattled.”

His hand found mine, his fingers lacing through mine in a tight grip I didn’t even realize I was shaking until I felt the warmth of his skin. I squeezed back, grounding myself.

But there was no time to rest.
