The Omega Claimed In Shadow
Olivia Arthur spent ten years believing she was worth nothing more than surviving until morning until Mason Atticus looked at her like she was something worth burning the world down to protect.
Olivia Arthur has spent a decade chained to a basement floor and a father who broke every promise he ever made her. Then Mason Atticus, vampire headmaster of Pinehollow Academy, finds her, and everything changes. Olivia is an Omega, a wolf classification unseen in seven hundred years, capable of bonding with any supernatural species, and Pinehollow is about to become her battleground and her sanctuary all at once.
Between Mason's fierce devotion,his guarded grief, Cormac's steady loyalty, and a circle of powerful heirs too afraid to claim what they feel, Olivia has to learn to trust a found family for the first time in her life. But her father isn't done with her yet. Can Olivia learn to be loved before the past catches up to her? And when it does, will she face it as a victim or as someone finally strong enough to fight back?

Chapter: Chapter 14Olivia’s POV “What you’re saying is I will never get the chance to have an awesome gold mating mark?” I laugh; I will be happy to find the perfect pack for me. “Not unless you’re an Omega wolf.” He rolls his eyes. “One last thing before we end the mating… if an Omega mates with royal heirs then she cements the bond between all of them, they all get the royal marks of gold. It’s not a sexual thing the other members don’t have to have sex with each other the bond just cements a deeper relationship, even if it is familial.” I have one more question that is burning me. I don’t know why I need to know so badly but I do. “Jude, what happens if a bond is not formally cemented and declared? Like what if the mates don’t want each other?” He looks at me and his eyes turn sad again. “It means the bond fades. Few people would reject a mate since it is a blessing in any race of supernaturals. Usually, mates breed in the same circles, so most royals are mated to other royals. Are y

Chapter: Chapter 13Olivia’s POV I wake up the next morning to the smell of food cooking. Searching for the source of the smell, I walk out of my room to find Jude in the kitchen making eggs and bacon. I stop and stare at him. He’s wearing his black sweatpants without a shirt on, leaving me to drool over his abs. His hair is up in his normal messy bun. My eyes trace over his face. Something stirs inside me and my body becomes uncomfortably warm. He looks up at me and his face turns a bashful red. “I made you some breakfast.” He slips some eggs and bacon on a plate, picks up the glass of orange juice, and comes walking towards me. My mouth dries up immediately; he moves so gracefully and the entire time his abs mock me. I try hard not to stare but it is damn near impossible. When he is finally standing in front of me, I realize that I have lost my opening to not be caught drooling over my roommate. I sheepishly look up to see a hint of amusement in his eyes. “You hungry?” Well, that is a lo

Chapter: Chapter 12Olivia’s POV “Olivia.” Jude plops down after his usual greeting and begins to tear into his food. The buzz of his cell phone startles me. I never hear his phone go off. “Are you not going to look at it?” He shakes his head no until everyone’s phone, including the faculty goes off. Jude looks up and around the lunchroom, then at me. He gently pulls his phone out of his pocket and looks at the message. When his face pales, I know it is about me. He slams his phone shut and lowers his head, but he can’t hide the fact that he is furious. I can scent it in the air and from the veins popping out of his head he is trying to restrain himself. I reach my hand out and touch his when he snaps it back from me. I try to show that I’m not hurt and trudge forward, anyway. “Jude, what happened? Why is everyone looking at me?” He looks up. I can see a range of emotions in his eyes, but the one that stands out, the one that I hate the most, is pity. I know right then what this is. “Jud

Chapter: Chapter 11Olivia’s POV “Get out, gutter trash.” I am panicking, having flashbacks of my father when he would push me down. When my bag hits me in the face, I land on the ground again. My face is stinging; I stumble back to my feet, and move to walk down the hall when a girl steps out from a room across the hall. It is my lovely escort from my first day of school and judging by her sneer I know I have once again made her mad. She stomps over to me, her face twisted into a sneer. “What were you doing in my fiancé’s room, slut. Don’t you have your hands full with your daddy?” Before I even think about what I am doing I haul off and punch her in the face, watching her go down and howl in pain. The guys’ door opens again, and they look from me to her on the ground before the male of Asian descent comes running out. As much as I now hate these guys and fear them, he is stunning, wearing gray sweats and a fitted white t-shirt that softens his features. He turns and glares at me. “What t

Chapter: Chapter 10Kade’s POVShe keeps her eyes downcast for the rest of the class, silently taking notes on our species. When she drops her pencil and leans my way to pick it up, I can’t help but lean forward to smell her hair. When it’s time to leave, she rushes out without a backward glance. The rest of the day goes by quickly and by the time we get to our last class, Mr. Helix, the race hierarchy and mating rituals teacher, has us research how different species mark their mates. After class, I head back to my room. When I walk in, I see the other guys are already here: I have three roommates, but we’re also best friends. Blaze has dark hair shaved into a fade, eyes almost golden in color, and he’s the tallest out of all of us. He’s already taken the uniform off, sitting in jeans and a t-shirt. Maddox has dark hair that falls around his head with stubble covering his jaw. His eyes are strange, sometimes they’re hazel, and other times, like when he’s cranked up the lust from his incubus power

Chapter: Chapter 09Kade’s POVThe moment she walks into the gym, I can smell her; she smells like cherries and cinnamon. It’s so powerful that my wolf is trying to break free and claim her. Fuck that noise. I knew the moment I saw her in first period that she was my mate, and all day my wolf has been driving me crazy, trying to get close to her or see her. I have to tell the guys tonight. I need to stay away from her. When she looks directly at me, my wolf preens at the attention, soaking it up like we are still pups. Disgusted at my wolf’s behavior, I hit the bag hard and move faster. Until the teacher speaks, I thought Sloan would pair the new girl with another girl, but instead, he pairs her with that asshole Jude Sterling. The other Alpha nearly matches me in all my strengths. Except he lost his mate before the bond even formed, losing his chance to run his own pack. I watched the coach pair the rest and of course, I’m paired with a third-year student. I know Alphas are typically the best

The Alpha’s college Mate
"You're mine, Clara and nobody will ever be allowed to take you from me again."
Picture the moment a forbidden mate-bond snaps into place in a crowded lecture hall, and neither Lucan Vance nor Clara Sterling can look away again.
Clara Sterling came to Brainstorm University to disappear. Instead, she collides with Lucan Vance, her devastatingly commanding Classics professor, and secretly the alpha of a werewolf pack hidden beneath the campus. What starts as a forbidden student-professor spark ignites into a full-blown supernatural claim, dragging Clara into a hidden war she never asked for.
Her own parents sold her to a ruthless council years ago, and its leader, Thiago, will tear the world apart to reclaim her. Between rival alphas, buried secrets, and a power inside her even she doesn't understand, Clara must decide who she's willing to become and who she's willing to fight for.
Can Lucan protect the mate he waited forty-three years to find? And can Clara survive becoming exactly what her enemies fear most?

Chapter: Chapter 98Clara's POV I kept my hand raised long after he'd walked out of sight. The lawn lay empty under the new palms. A thin mist drifted across the grass where he had stood, and I watched it close over his footprints one by one until the quad looked as though nobody had ever crossed it. My arm began to shake. I lowered it. My palm still tingled with the shape of his, and I pressed it against my mouth, because I knew I would not be allowed to keep that either. Courteous, I thought. He nodded to me the way you nod to a stranger. It should have been the worst thing I'd ever felt. It was only the second. The worst was still waiting inside me, and it was my turn. I slid down the wall until I sat on the floorboards with my back against the bed and the jar of Pea in my lap. The room was gray and gold and utterly quiet. Someone had folded Lucan's sweater over the chair. It still smelled of him: cedar, smoke, a faint ghost of clove from Gail's bandages. I didn't touch it. I'd decided that

Chapter: Chapter 97Lucan's POV I nodded to a stranger's window, and then I stood in the middle of a lawn trying to work out why my chest hurt. It wasn't the wounds. Gail had packed those and sworn at me for an hour. This ache sat lower and older, the ache of a hand reaching for a light switch in a house where the wiring had been moved. I knew I'd left someone asleep upstairs. I knew she'd had dark hair. I knew I had wanted, very badly, to turn around. I didn't. The black notebook was in my fist, and my feet seemed to know where it needed to go. The campus was changing as I walked it. I watched it happen in small, patient pieces, the way you watch a tide come in over flats. The hemlocks along the east path had begun to shed their needles in soft brown drifts, and from each bare crown a green spear was pushing up, unfurling into fronds. The air thickened and warmed. Mist lay across the grass in long pale scarves, and the ridge that had stood against the sky for forty-three years was sinking into m

Chapter: Chapter 96Clara's POV "Clara," I said. "You told me to call you Clara." "Clara." He said it carefully, like a man setting down something hot. "Thank you. I'm sorry. I keep dropping it." "You can drop it as often as you like. I'll keep picking it up." He looked at me for a moment longer. Then he laughed, short and wrecked, and led me up the rest of the stairs by the hand. Gail had cleared the guest quarters in the east wing and left a kettle on the stove, three mismatched mugs, and a note in her cramped hand. Milo is alive and swearing. Do not come to the infirmary. That is a medical instruction. Someone had lit the little fire. Someone had also, God bless her, left a plate of Victoria's rolls under a dish towel. We spent the first hour pretending. Lucan made tea badly and put the milk in first, and I told him so. He said it was a family tradition. I said it was a crime. He sat on the sofa, a lumpy green thing with one cushion permanently sunk, and I curled into his side with my fe

Chapter: Chapter 95Lucan's POV She didn't flinch, and that was how I knew she'd been expecting it. Clara stood in the failing blue light with a specimen jar held against her sternum like something that might spill. Behind her the loom had gone quiet, a gray frame in a garden of dimming flowers. The vines on the walls hung slack. Across the chamber, two of Declan's wolves were hauling Adan Blackridge to his feet. He went without a fight, a soft, balding man in the ruin of a good suit, muttering the same four words to the floor. I'm owed. I'm owed. Nobody answered him. Gail had promised me Milo would keep his side and his stubbornness, in that order of certainty, and the promise sat in my chest like a breath finally let go. I'd climbed twenty-two steps rehearsing a speech, one sentence per stair. Somewhere between the last step and her face, it had slid out of my head and left only the shape of the hole. "It's all right," she said. "It isn't. I had it whole a minute ago." I leaned on the rail, b

Chapter: Chapter 94Clara's POV The weave gave us until dawn. Eliza told us so from the foot of the stair, swaying, her bloody hand finally lowered. The verses had run out of her like water from a cracked jug. "It begins at the edges and works inward," she said. "Slowly, so that the world can get used to itself. By sunrise it will reach us. Whatever you mean to say, child, say it now, in order, while you still have the words to say it with." I didn't argue. I had a list. I'd written it in my head on the way down the stair, and it had only one rule: nobody got a speech. Jasmine came first. Milo had laid her against the pillar before he fell, and she'd woken there with vine burns on her wrists and a bruise rising on her temple. She was sitting up when I reached her, staring at the ink along her forearm. HE IS YOURS. HE IS WAITING. The letters had smeared where she'd been crying on them. "I got it all wrong," she said hoarsely. "I ran at a knife." "You ran at a knife for him. It's the best bad

Chapter: Chapter 93Lucan's POV I came back into my body all at once, like a man dropped from a height. Stone under my palm. Blood in my mouth. The cathedral swung into focus in pieces: ten thousand silver blossoms, my mother's raised hand, Clara sunk to the shoulder in the loom with her eyes open and empty. The red cord ran from her wrist to mine, bright as a drawn wire. A wet black shadow fell across it. Adan had stopped swaying. He stood over me with his head lowered and his jaws wide, and he wasn't looking at my throat. He was looking at the cord. The small bright eyes followed it, wrist to wrist, with the dawning, tidy delight of a man who has finally found the one stitch that holds the hem. He didn't need to cut the thread. He only needed to cut the man tied to it. "Mother," I tried to say. It came out as a wheeze. "Ar-enn, sa-ven," she said, faster, and her voice cracked down the middle. The vines drew back from her feet and then, slowly, stopped retreating. Adan lunged. I couldn
