Amelia’s POV

I didn't sleep.

Not really.

Every time I closed my eyes, I saw that silver light pulsing between the trees. I heard the attacker's voice whispering about my blood, and I remembered my father's warning.

Do not let Serena near it.

Why Serena?

Why not me?

If the eastern grounds were reacting to something in my bloodline, shouldn't I be the one he wanted to keep away?

Unless—

I sat upright so quickly that pain shot through my bruised shoulder.

Unless whatever lay beneath the eastern wo

  • A Plus Size Omega: Submitting To My Bestie's Alpha Father    The House Beneath the Ashes

    Serena’s POV The old Blackwood estate appeared through the morning mist like the skeleton of something that had once been magnificent. I remembered the photographs Dominic had shown me once. The grand entrance, the enormous windows, the gardens that stretched across the hills, and the ancient stone walls that had stood for generations. None of that remained. The fire had devoured almost everything. Blackened pillars rose from the earth like broken bones. The roof had collapsed years ago, leaving the rooms exposed to the sky. Ivy crawled over the surviving walls, and weeds had claimed the paths that once led to the front entrance. Even the air felt different here. Heavy. Silent. As if the land remembered the screams of the people who had died. I pressed my fingers around the silver key hanging from my mother's necklace. The house beneath the ashes remembers its master. My father's laboratory. It had been here all along. "Are you certain this is where you want to go?" Th

  • A Plus Size Omega: Submitting To My Bestie's Alpha Father    Echoes of Two Hearts

    Dominic's POV I remained on the wide stone steps long after the black SUV disappeared down the winding drive. The dust had already settled. The morning mist clung to the trees like ghosts, and the only sound left was the cruel, steady beating of my own heart.My hands were clenched at my sides so tightly that my nails had dug crescent moons into my palms. I couldn’t seem to move. My wolf was pacing violently beneath my skin, snarling, howling, demanding I chase after her. But my feet stayed rooted to the cold stone.She was gone.Serena was really gone.The sound of soft footsteps approached from behind. I didn’t need to turn to know it was Evelyne. Her scent — wild roses and warm amber — wrapped around me, familiar and comforting, yet somehow heavier this morning.She came to stand beside me, close enough that our arms brushed, but not so close that it felt like a claim. For a long moment, she simply watched the empty road with me.“She’s gone,” she said quietly, her voice carrying

  • A Plus Size Omega: Submitting To My Bestie's Alpha Father    The Morning I Walk Away

    Serena's POV I didn't sleep. Not properly. Every time I closed my eyes, I heard his voice. Dominic's low laughter. Evelyne whispering his name. The quiet intimacy behind a bedroom door I had no right to open. I had spent the entire night convincing myself that leaving was the right decision. Yet, when the first rays of sunlight slipped through my curtains, I discovered that knowing something was right didn't make it hurt any less. I sat up slowly. My suitcase stood beside the wardrobe. Everything was ready. My clothes. My books. My few personal belongings. The small silver flower Liora had made for me lay beside my handbag. I picked it up and ran my thumb over its uneven petals. "She'll miss you," Rose whispered. I swallowed. "I'll miss her too." And Amelia. "Yes." And him. I closed my fingers around the necklace. "Don't." Rose sighed. You can leave the house, Serena. You cannot order your heart to stop loving him. "I don't need to stop loving him today." I p

  • A Plus Size Omega: Submitting To My Bestie's Alpha Father    Come for me again, my love.

    Dominic's POV “Dominic—! Oh gods, yes—!” Her hips bucked against my face. I curled my fingers, stroking that sensitive spot inside her while my tongue lashed her clit mercilessly. Within minutes she was writhing, moaning my name like a prayer. Her first orgasm hit her like a storm. She came with a sharp, keening cry, thighs clamping around my head as her pussy spasmed and gushed around my fingers. I drank every drop, growling against her folds, my wolf snarling in triumph. I didn’t let her come down. I rose, tore off the rest of my clothes, and fisted my aching cock. The head was flushed dark and leaking steadily. Evelyne’s eyes glazed with pure lust when she saw it. “Inside me,” she begged, voice husky. “I need you inside me right now.” I gripped her hips, flipped her onto her stomach, and pulled her ass up. In one powerful thrust I buried myself to the hilt inside her tight, fluttering pussy. Evelyne screamed in pleasure. “Dominic—! So deep—! Fuck—!” I gave her

  • A Plus Size Omega: Submitting To My Bestie's Alpha Father    The sound of goodbye

    Serena's POV Midnight. The Blackwood lodge was wrapped in a silence so complete it felt like the walls themselves were mourning with me. I had been lying in bed for nearly two hours, eyes burning, mind refusing to quiet. No matter how many times I turned over, the same images kept flashing behind my eyelids — Dominic’s face when I told him I was leaving, the way his jaw had clenched, the flash of pain in his eyes that he quickly buried. The certainty that I was doing the right thing warred with the devastating ache in my chest. Sleep wasn’t coming. It wouldn’t come. My throat felt like sandpaper. I needed water. Or maybe I just needed to stop lying in the dark with nothing but my thoughts for company. With a heavy sigh, I pushed the blankets off and sat up. The cool air kissed my skin as I slipped my silk robe over my thin nightdress and tied it loosely at the waist. I didn’t bother with slippers. The cold floor might ground me. The corridor outside my room was dimly lit by low

  • A Plus Size Omega: Submitting To My Bestie's Alpha Father    Dominic—! Oh gods, yes—!

    Dominic's POV Later that night, I found Evelyne in our bedroom. Moonlight poured through the tall windows, painting her in silver. She stood by the dresser in a thin ivory nightgown, turning the small silver hairpin I had guarded for sixteen years between her fingers like it was the most precious relic in existence. “You kept this,” she said softly, without turning. “I kept everything that was yours.” I leaned against the doorframe, drinking in the sight of her. “Your ridiculous teacup collection. The books you loved. The blanket stained with your blood the night Amelia was born. I couldn’t bear to move a single thing. It felt like admitting you were never coming back.” Evelyne set the hairpin down with reverent care and finally faced me. Her eyes were luminous with unshed tears. “I used to imagine coming home,” she whispered. “In every dream you were furious with me for making you wait so long. I never imagined you spent sixteen years believing I was dead.” I crossed t
