Alpha's Claim, Omega's Surrender 43
Whether it was a moment of weakness or sheer mental exhaustion, I decided to lay all the wreckage of my life out for Kenneth to see.Kenneth stood there, stunned into a rare silence."I don't care about the history or the burden," he said finally, his voice firm, grounding.In truth, from the first time our scents crossed, Kenneth had been intrigued. With Jessa constantly howling about my virtues, his interest had only deepened into something protective. He’d had a steady mate before, so he hadn’t acted on it, but after their bond dissolved and Jessa suggested he look my way, he found he couldn't turn away. It wasn't just that I was easy on the eyes; it was the steel in my spine that made him want to shield me."But I care," I stated, my voice a flat line. "I want a union of equals. Under these conditions, I’m just a parasitic weight on a high-ranking family.""How is that possible?" Kenneth’s tone turned urgent. "Even if your mother needs a dozen more procedures, it's just a few more

Grant had finally made our bond irrevocable. He had secured my legal status as his mate, the position the Walker lineage had always demanded for him."We keep this between us for now," he’d told me.He was being cautious because of his mother’s fragile health, but I knew the truth: Grant was an Alpha who understood that if he didn't claim me then, while the pressure was high, he might lose the chance forever. He was striking while the iron was hot, locking me into a contract I’d originally thought was meant for another man."Relax. My lips are sealed," Brooke had said, backing away from him in the Pacific Crest suite. "Since you’ve made it clear my assistance isn't wanted, I’ll leave you to your rest."Grant had only given her a curt nod. He didn't even offer a polite farewell before closing the door. He walked back to his bed, his mind replaying the audio he’d caught from my end during the briefing.“Mars? Can I come in?”“Don’t be modest. Even if you’re working until the moon sets,

Before I could force another syllable past my lips, Grant had severed the link.The silence that followed was heavy, pressing in on me like the atmosphere before a storm. It felt as if the fragile bridge we’d built had collapsed, leaving us back at the formal distance of Alpha and subordinate. It was logical, really. He was in Verdant City with Brooke Caldwell—the high-born wolf who actually belonged at his side. What place could a contract-bound substitute like me truly hold once the real hunt began?I scrubbed my face, took a scalding shower to wash away the scent of the Tower, and pulled on my worn sleep-shreds. But as I lay in Jessa’s guest bed, the dark room felt like a cage. I tossed and turned, my mind looping through the image of the gauze on Grant’s forehead and the coldness in his eyes during the briefing.The moon was already beginning its descent toward the horizon. If I didn't catch some sleep now, I’d be a walking corpse at the Tower. I squeezed my eyes shut, but the sil

Kevin’s analysis of Genesis Creations Inc. was surgically precise, detailing every silver coin in their treasury, their expansion trajectory, and the recent shifts in their board of directors. He had clearly tracked their scent across the entire territory.He then pivoted to the viability of our current technological developments in the Silverwood sector. Suddenly, I felt my pulse spike as my own name echoed through the link."Mars has recently flagged a new propulsion project to the Prosperity Consortium. It’s currently sitting on the High Alpha’s desk for final clearance. I’ve reviewed the schematics, and if the output is as stable as the data suggests, it could be the catalyst Westline Holdings needs to dominate the sector."The speaker was the Director of Investments, a formidable wolf within the Walker hierarchy. Behind his screen, Grant offered a slight, imperceptible nod. He didn’t even blink. "Kevin, maintain a close watch on that trail.""I’ve already vetted the lead," Kevin

It was nearly noon when I finally found a gap to breathe. My fingers felt stiff from the keyboard, and the sterile hum of the Walker Enterprises Tower was starting to grate on my nerves.Subconsciously, I reached for my slate and swiped into our encrypted thread.Silence. The chat with Grant was the third one down, the last message still that cold warning I’d sent about the clinic.Knock knock.I looked up to see Kevin leaning against the doorframe.“Keep your eyes on Genesis Creations Inc. out at Lumina Bay,” he said, his tone shifting into professional gear. “They’ve been snapping up territory and tech assets all cycle. That’s the reason the Alpha is on this circuit—the Tower is looking at a private placement to buy into their momentum.”“Understood.” I immediately pulled up the dossier on Genesis.Kevin chuckled at my intensity. “Easy, Reed. The Westline Holdings deal is inked, and the project is moving. You’ve put in enough sweat on the Social Networking Service to guarantee your

It was true that since the crash, my slate hadn't buzzed with even a single ping from Mars Reed."Scent the air, Grant," Jeffrey said, his voice dropping into a low, predatory rumble. "There is a wolf out there better suited for the Walker line. Someone who actually tracks your heartbeat."He might as well have whispered Brooke Caldwell’s name.But Grant just pressed his lips into a thin line, his eyes anchored to the dark screen of his slate. He didn't offer a single word of defense.Seeing the Alpha like that, Jeffrey let out a jagged sigh. "Fine. I’ll stop barking. You’re the one who has to lead this pack. Do you need help with your gear? Your circuit to Verdant City starts tonight.""No. I’m driving myself back to the Walker Ridge Estate first.""You’re going back to him?" Jeffrey knew Mars was still entrenched there. "I can retrieve your ritual clothes for you.""No need." Grant’s reply was a sharp snap.His feelings were written in the tension of his jaw. He was still holding on

My thoughts felt like a stagnant marsh, thick with a cold, suffocating fog that made every breath a struggle. I practically crawled out of the hospital, my legs throbbing with a dull, leaden heat from standing through the entire lunar cycle.I couldn't go another step. A small, early-morning apothe

The scenario had spiraled so far off the scent that I was starting to feel the silver-sting of a panic attack!Where in the Great Forest was Kenneth going to conjure two elders to play his parents? If he kept this charade going while my mother played hardball, this wasn't just a white lie anymore—i
Alpha's Claim, Omega's Surrender 35
I stood paralyzed for a heartbeat, the weight of the lie suddenly feeling like a physical shackle. Kenneth’s suggestion caught me completely off guard.“Just call me Kenneth,” he said, his voice a soothing balm against the sterile scent of the hallway. “That’s how my inner circle addresses me.”I n

His assistant dropped off the evening meal just as the sun dipped below the jagged peaks of the Ridge. Grant only let his instincts take over once, a brief but possessive claim that left me breathless.Even so, he’d drained the last of my stamina. By the time we were meant to eat, my legs felt like
