The cold night air cut through my skin as I stepped out of the manor, my heart pounding so loudly I thought it might burst from my chest. I hadn’t packed much—just enough to survive, just enough to get away. Sky had tried to stop me, his voice pleading, but my mind was made up. It had to be. I couldn’t live like this anymore, in the suffocating shadow of his family’s disdain, in the constant fear of what tomorrow might bring.

I glanced back at the towering structure behind me, its grandeur now a symbol of everything I couldn’t have, everything that wasn’t meant for someone like me. No matter how much Sky said he cared, no matter how many times he promised things would change, the truth was simple: I would never fit in here. His family had made sure of that.

Especially Selene.

Her words echoed in my mind, the venom in her voice stinging as sharply as it had when she first spoke them. “You don’t belong.” And the worst part? She was right. I didn’t. I never had.

    The night was cold, the kind of crisp chill that clung to your skin and made everything feel sharper, more real. I could feel it sinking into my bones as I hurried down the hallway toward Hayley’s room. Something was wrong—no, I knew something had been wrong for a long time, but tonight it felt like a ticking bomb ready to go off. Hayley had been distant, almost invisible in her attempts to avoid me. I couldn’t blame her, not after the way my family had treated her, after the tension I’d created by not telling her the truth about Veronica. I’d been trying to find the right moment to talk to her, to fix everything, but it seemed like the more I tried, the further she slipped away. And now, I had a sinking feeling that she was about to run. The thought made my chest tighten with panic. I couldn’t let her leave. Not like this. Not without talking things through. When I reached her door, I paused, my hand hovering over the handle. Part of me wanted to burst in and stop her from whateve

    The moonlight streamed through the window, casting long shadows across the floor. I stared out at the dark woods, the towering trees swaying slightly in the breeze. The night was still, too quiet for my liking, but it was also my only chance. My heart raced in my chest, each beat a reminder of the urgency I felt deep within. I couldn’t stay here anymore. I had to get out.I hadn’t seen Sky since the confrontation in the hallway. Every time he approached me, I found a way to slip away. It had become a game of avoidance, but now it was more than that—it was survival. His family was suffocating me. His mother’s cold, judgmental stares, and Selene’s sharp words, like daggers every time they spoke. It was clear that they didn’t want me here, and the longer I stayed, the more vulnerable I felt. Sitting on the edge of the bed, I fidgeted with the edge of the worn blanket, my mind spinning with thoughts of how to escape this suffocating prison disguised as a mansion. I had nowhere to go, no

    I leaned against the cold marble countertop in the kitchen, staring at the dark liquid swirling in my mug. The rich aroma of coffee filled the air, but I couldn’t bring myself to take a sip. The house was too quiet, except for the occasional ticking of the antique clock in the hallway, reminding me of how much time had passed since I’d been avoiding this conversation. I knew what was coming. Hell, I’d known for days now that my family wouldn’t let it go. My engagement to Veronica was supposed to be the glue that kept everything together—the perfect arrangement that would keep the bloodlines pure, keep the legacy intact, and keep my mother happy. But my heart had gone in a completely different direction. Footsteps echoed down the hall, the kind that could only belong to my mother. Her heels clicked sharply on the polished wood floors, each step a reminder of her unwavering authority in this house. I straightened, setting my coffee mug down just as she and Selene entered the room. M

  • Alpha Sky's Switched Omega    Chapter 019

    The mansion, once a place of uncertain promise, had slowly begun to feel like a cage. Each day, I fought to find a sense of belonging within its grand but cold walls, but my interactions with the other residents and the underlying tensions made it feel more like a gilded prison. I had tried to stay out of everyone’s way, focusing on the small joys of daily life, but the strain was palpable.That evening, I decided to take a walk in the garden. It had become my sanctuary, a place where I could find some semblance of peace amidst the chaos of my new life. The garden was expansive, with manicured hedges and flower beds arranged in elaborate patterns. As I strolled along the path, the scent of blooming roses and freshly cut grass filled the air, providing a temporary reprieve from the stress that had been mounting.The sun was beginning to set, casting a warm golden glow over the landscape. I paused near a stone bench, taking in the tranquility of the moment. The rustling leaves and chirp
