Where are you going?" my best friend Sandra asked as I threw my few belongings into a suitcase from underneath my bed. I hesitated, unsure of how to answer. I didn't know how much she knew about the pack's dynamics, and I didn't want to reveal too much.

"Just leaving for a little while," I said, sounding casual. "I need some time to think."

Sandra's eyes narrowed. "Think about what? You're not even telling me what's going on."

I sighed, feeling a sense of guilt wash over me. I didn't want to lie to my best friend, but I didn't want to reveal the truth. Not yet, at least.

I couldn't tell her. I couldn't tell my best friend that I had been sleeping with the alpha of our pack for the last five months of my life. It was a secret eating away at me, making me feel like a traitor and a fool.

And now, as I was preparing to leave, I couldn't bear the thought of telling her about Damon's rejection. It was like a fresh wound, still raw and bleeding.

I thought back to how Damon had looked at me with disdain and disappointment. I had tried to play it cool, to pretend I didn't care, but inside, I was dying.

I couldn't tell Sandra about the months I had wasted on Damon, about the way he had used me for his pleasure. She would think I was stupid, that I had thrown away my chance at a happy life.

But most of all, I couldn't tell her about Aurora, the beta's mate who had taken Damon's place in his affections. The thought of her made my heart ache with jealousy and resentment.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing thoughts. I knew I had to get out of there, to leave the pack and its toxic dynamics behind. But it was hard to let go of the past, of the memories and emotions that still lingered.

As I finished packing my bag, I felt a sense of determination wash over me. I was going to start a new life, one where my relationship with Damon or my status in the pack didn't define me. I was going to find myself and figure out who I was without the constraints of the pack.

And maybe, just maybe, I would find a way to heal from the wounds that Damon had inflicted on me.

"Just personal things, Sandra," I said finally. "I promise you'll be the first one I call when I'm ready to talk."

Sandra looked at me sceptically but eventually nodded. "Okay, Harriet. But if you need me, don't hesitate to reach out."

I nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. I knew she would be shocked if she knew the truth - that I was leaving the pack for good.

As we hugged goodbye, I felt a sense of trepidation. What would the future hold? Would I be able to make a new life outside the pack? And what would happen if Damon found out where I was going?

But as I looked at Sandra, I knew I had made the right decision. I was finally taking control of my life, and nothing would stop me now.

“I will see you soon,” I told my best friend as she gave me a final wave and left me alone in my room.

I looked around at the familiar surroundings of my den. It was small, but it was home. I had grown up here, surrounded by the pack. But it was time to leave.

I picked up my bag and slung it over my shoulder. It was heavy with all my belongings, but I didn't care. I was leaving behind the only life I had ever known.

As I walked out the door, I felt a sense of freedom. I was finally leaving behind the constraints of the pack and its rigid social hierarchy.

Damon wouldn't even care that I wasn't here anymore, and to be honest, he probably would not even notice. I was sure he would be far too loved up on Aurora and making her his Luna.

I made my way to the bus station, my heart pounding. What was I doing? This was wild. I had never been outside the pack before. What if I got lost? What if I didn't make it? Luckily, the patrol officers didn't even look at me walking down the long gravel path.

Nobody said a word, and I wondered if I was invisible. Did this pack not care about us omegas? Were we only noticeable when they needed something? When it suited them?

Just outside of the pack was a road that was deserted, but I saw a sign that said bus stop. So I decided to wait for a few moments, and sure enough, there came one rattling up the road. Then doubt hit me. Should I do this? Should I leave?

But I pushed those thoughts aside and focused on the bus ride ahead. I had always been curious about the world beyond the pack's borders. And now, I was finally going to see it. Damon had hurt me badly, so why should I feel any guilt for leaving Milton Manor?

“Town, please,” I said, paying the driver with the coins I had in my pocket. I didn't have much money, but I guessed that I would be able to find a paying job in the town.

The bus ride was long and tiring, but I didn't care. I was too busy staring out the window at the passing scenery, dreaming of all the possibilities ahead.

I thought about all the things I had never experienced before. I had never seen a city, never ridden a subway, never tasted an authentic pizza. And now, I was finally going to experience all of those things.

I was going to make it here. I was going to make a new life for myself in this city.

  • Rejected by my ex, claimed by the CEO   55

    Harriet's POV The door creaked open softly as a woman stepped inside, her presence immediately filling the cramped little room with a warmth that seemed to push back some of the shadows lingering in my mind. She was older, probably in her sixties, with silver-streaked hair pulled back into a loose bun. Her face was lined but lively, and her eyes sparkled with genuine kindness and curiosity. “Gino,” she exclaimed softly, her voice thick with emotion. “It’s been years—years since I last saw you!” Gino stood quickly, a hesitant smile crossing his face as he stepped toward her. “Mrs. Carter,” he said, voice warm. “It’s good to see you again. Sorry for just showing up like this.” She hurried over, her arms opening wide. “No need to apologize, dear. I’ve always told you—you’re like family. And I’m glad you’re safe. Come in, come in.” Her eyes flicked over to me, and for a moment, her smile faltered. Her gaze sharpened, and her brow furrowed as she took in my face—my tense posture,

  • Rejected by my ex, claimed by the CEO   54

    Harriet’s POV The room was small, cluttered, and smelled like it hadn't been aired out in years. Dust clung to every surface, and the faint glow of the city’s distant lights seeped through the cracked curtains, casting long shadows across the battered furniture. I sank onto the edge of the bed, feeling the uneven springs creak beneath me. My mind was racing, trying to piece together everything that had happened—everything I’d felt. The glow. The power. The anger, the fear, the confusion. I pressed my palms into my eyes, trying to block out the chaos swirling inside me. It was like a storm that refused to calm, each thunderclap echoing with questions I couldn’t answer. Gino sat quietly beside me, his presence a fragile anchor in this storm. His hand rested softly on my knee, warm and steady. I appreciated the gesture, but I knew that no matter how much he tried to reassure me, I was still lost in a sea of doubt. I looked out the window again, watching the city lights flicker

  • Rejected by my ex, claimed by the CEO   53

    Harriet’s POV The engine’s hum was the only sound filling the silence inside the car. I stared out the window, watching the trees blur past, struggling to process everything that had just happened. My mind kept replaying the chaos—Aurora’s hatred, Damon’s desperation, the glow in my eyes—and I couldn’t quite believe what I’d seen, what I’d felt. Gino was silent beside me, his eyes occasionally flicking to me with concern. I could feel his gaze, but I didn’t turn to look at him yet. I needed a moment—more than that, I needed to understand what I’d become. My hands clenched into fists in my lap. I felt the residual tingling in my fingertips—the strange, electric power that still hummed beneath my skin—and I wondered how much of what happened was real, and how much was just my mind playing tricks on me. I’d always thought I was normal, just a woman trying to make her way in the world. Now, everything had changed. I was no longer sure what I was or who I should be. I took a deep

    Harriet's POV Damon's eyes glistened with disobedience; he held no fear. 'You think I could want to hear what you have to say? I don't. Harriet can make her own decisions about who she wants," Damon turned to me and fell to his knees, reaching for my hands, and he gazed up at me. “Harriet, the day you left was the worst nightmare for me, I should never have bet you go so easily. You are meant for me. I can’t bare to see you with anyone else, please come home and give me another chance, will you?” Damon’s words threw me. Months ago, I would have melted at such a thing to happen to me from him, but now? I felt nothing. He didn't deserve me or another chance. To him, I was just his mistress. To Gino, I was everything; he treated me like I was worthy and showed me how much he cared. There was absolutely no doubt about it. "No, Damon. I don't want to be with you; we were never meant to be. I feel nothing. Gino is my true love; he makes me feel good about myself, and I do

    Harriet’s POV The sudden appearance of Aurora shattered the fragile moment I had been trying to hold together. Her face was a storm—eyes blazing, lips pressed into a tense line. The air grew colder, suffocating, as if her anger had seeped into every corner of the room.Her voice was icy, cutting through the silence. “Damon, what’s going on here?” She stepped closer, suspicion and something darker flickering in her gaze.Damon straightened, his jaw tightening as he turned to face her. “Aurora, I was just—”She cut him off sharply, voice rising slightly. “Just what? Entertaining old flames? After everything?”My stomach clenched painfully. I could feel my fists tightening, but I kept my expression as neutral as I could, trying to hold onto the resolve I’d gathered. I knew Aurora’s reputation—her fierce protectiveness, her jealousy. I understood her as a rival, a threat, even if my heart was pounding painfully in my chest.Damon finally spoke, voice calm but with an undercurrent of tens

  • Rejected by my ex, claimed by the CEO   Fifty

    Harriet’s POV I stood at the edge of the place I had fled when my lover had denied me, I remembered his words that we would never be together. The tears that I had cried because of him. He had made me feel worthless and unwanted and weak. I was just an omega in his eyes. But then, I’d met Gino. He was everything that Damon wasn’t. Yet, Damon had followed me to France and believed we were mates? I couldn’t think of anything worse than being with someone who hadn’t seen my worth from the start. All I was to him was someone to have sex with. He had chosen Aurora after all, she was a better fit for him. Leaving this pack had been the right thing to do, I thought I’d be happy with Gino. A fresh start away from my old life and yet there it was, seeping its way back into my new life like a snake. I had to face Damon head on and tell him straight that we were over, he had made his decision and it was Gino I wanted to be with. Suddenly Sandra came rushing towards me with the b
