Samantha had learned something early while growing up: No one ever suspects the middleman.

She had continue watching for days—quiet, careful, calculating who next to deal with. And she saw it: Hani and Luma, two young slave maids barely sixteen, always stuck to each other like glue. They shared food, took blame for each other’s mistakes, and even whispered dreams of saving enough coin to escape servitude one day.

It was perfect.

Because Samantha also noticed something else: a third girl named Yula. Pretty, bold, and recently favored by Paula to serve tea during meetings at the Officials Guest Wing.

That meant Yula had access to important documents. More importantly… she was becoming visible.

Too visible. And Samantha doesn't like it.

The Setup Begins

Samantha approached Hani first, early in the morning while they swept out the west corridor. Her voice held concern—sincere, hushed.

“I heard something last night… Paula’s not happy with Yula. Said she thinks she’s stealing from the

  • Alpha Theo: Legacy Of The Banished Omega    Sabina's Journey

    The night was quiet, heavy with mist and strange whispers from the woods as Sabina rode along the crooked path leading away from Dam-Nighade Pack. Her heart pounded violently — every sound, every rustle of leaves made her clutch the reins tighter.She had never been this far from home, and never on such a dangerous errand. The Luna’s order echoed in her mind like a curse.“Find a sorcerer… before dawn.”As the moon slipped behind thick clouds, she reached the border of Brothstone Pack — a land shrouded in rumors of witchcraft and forbidden dealings. Sabina dismounted, leading her horse by the reins as the forest swallowed her whole.For hours, she wandered through thick mist until she reached a faintly glowing cottage tucked beneath an ancient willow. Strange charms hung from its branches — bones, feathers, and shimmering stones that hummed softly in the night air.Sabina hesitated at the door, her hand trembling as she knocked.A low, raspy voice answered from within.“Come in… trave

  • Alpha Theo: Legacy Of The Banished Omega    Looking For An Answer

    The Next Morning — Theo’s StudyMorning sunlight filtered through the wide glass panes, spilling across the polished wooden desk. Theo sat behind it, fingers rubbing his temples as though trying to erase the fragments of the haunting dream that had refused to fade with dawn.Moments later, a knock echoed softly.“Come in,” Theo called out.Beta Matt stepped inside, his usual calm composure shadowed by concern. “You sent for me, Alpha?”Theo gestured toward the empty chair opposite him. “Sit, Matt. There’s something I need to discuss.”As soon as Matt settled down, Theo leaned forward, elbows resting on the desk. His tone was low, almost hesitant.“It’s been happening again,” he began. “The same dream. Every night… a little girl crying, begging me to save her. But I can’t see her face. No matter how close I get, she fades—” His voice trembled slightly before he steadied it. “And each time, the pain feels real, like it’s mine.”Matt’s brows furrowed. For several seconds, he said nothing

    That Same Night…Theo suddenly jolted up from sleep, breathing heavily as if he had been running. His chest rose and fell sharply, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He rubbed his eyes, trying to steady his heartbeat.Beside him, Mina stirred from her sleep, blinking in confusion at his sudden movement. Slowly, she sat up, her hair falling across her shoulders as she studied his troubled expression.“Theo,” she murmured softly, reaching out to touch his arm. “What’s wrong?”For a moment, he didn’t answer. His eyes were distant, haunted — lost in something far away. Then, finally, his voice came low and strained.“It’s that dream again,” he said, his tone heavy. “Every night, the same one… a little girl keeps crying and begging me to save her. I can’t see her face, but I can feel her pain — like she’s somewhere close, calling out to me.”Mina froze. Her fingers tightened slightly on the blanket. She didn’t need to ask who that little girl might be. The mention alone made her heart

  • Alpha Theo: Legacy Of The Banished Omega    The Sold Heiress

    Amelia hauled Elina into the small, scrappy room and dumped her on the little bed. The bedding was thin and worn, but she forced a careful calm into her hands as she cleaned the wound with the same hurried motions she always used for the child’s cuts and bruises—water from a chipped basin, rough cloth, a strip of old linen torn for a bandage. Her hands were efficient, but her face was hard. She wrapped the linen tight around the girl’s head and smoothed the hair away with a brusque hand, as if roughness could erase what she’d done.She had barely straightened the blanket when a soft knock sounded at the front door. Amelia moved to answer it, wiping at her eyes to hide the red, frantic gulls of pain and rage. The door opened and her husband stepped in—tall, mid-aged, shoulders already slumped with work and the weight of life. He looked exhausted; his coat still smelled faintly of smoke from the road.“Hello,” he said, dropping onto the single cushion in the sitting room with a weary si

    Outside, the peaceful pack slept soundly, unaware that in the farthest corner of their land, vengeance had just been born anew.But slowly a year passed and the lost child wasn’t found despites Theo’s effort, his desperation increased. Following the elders suggestion, a Luna crowning ceremony was held for Mina. Although she barely won the fight, she was crowned amidst joyful celebration and without questioning. Liam was sent to represent Damian who has focused more on his fst growing son Damon. Six months later, Mina is pregnant with a pup, Theo slowly forgotten about his sold child while he focus on the unborn baby.---Five Years Later…The moon hung faintly above the horizon, its pale light barely breaking through the mist that wrapped around Brothstone Pack.Forty miles away from Dam-Nighade Pack, the peaceful night was shattered by a heart-piercing wail.Inside a fairly large but poorly kept house, the sound of something crashing echoed out through the thin wooden walls. A small

  • Alpha Theo: Legacy Of The Banished Omega    Luna Mina

    The journey back to Shadowfang was a silent one. Not even the sound of hooves could drown the heaviness that trailed behind Damian and his warriors. The cold wind of the northern mountains lashed at their cloaks, carrying the lingering scent of blood and vengeance from Brothstone Pack.By the time they reached the towering iron gates of the Pack fortress, the night had deepened. Guards bowed as the Alpha passed through, his expression unreadable—stern, distant, carved in stone.Inside, torches flickered along the vast hall where a meeting had already been prepared at his order. Lucain and Liam were waiting for him.Damian took his seat at the head of the long obsidian table. His armor was still dusted with traces of the road, his gloves streaked faintly with dried blood.“The mission was successful,” he began, his voice low but commanding. "The rebels has confessed and has been dealt with. And I happened to settle over some matters in Dam-Nighade Pack."Lucain gave a small nod, but hi
