Cassian Vale – POV

I hated not knowing.

In my world, you either sensed your path or you carved it yourself. But this—this thing between Orion and me? It felt like walking in the dark, knowing something was ahead but unable to reach it.

I kept playing our last conversation over in my mind. His voice when he said he didn’t know if he could let me in. The way his eyes dropped when I told him I came for him.

Every part of him screamed don’t trust. Every part of me wanted to earn it anyway.

My wolf wouldn’t shut up about it either. It circled inside my chest like a storm without lightning. There was a pull—deep, sharp, constant—but no confirmation.

No snap. No bond. Just confusion.

And that was what worried me most.

---

Kai, my Beta and second-in-command, sat beside me as we watched the security footage of Orion’s press event from earlier that morning.

"Still playing the perfect heir," Kai said, crossing his arms. "If you didn’t know better, you’d think he was a Beta.

    Orion – POV The knock came sharp against the door. My chest tightened before I even spoke. “Enter,” I said, keeping my tone steady. The door opened. Cassian walked in. He didn’t just enter—he owned the space. His eyes swept over the room like everything in it was already his. Including me. I stayed seated, watching. “Orion.” His voice was calm, almost casual, but the edge underneath made my pulse jump. I caught his scent before he reached the desk—clean, sharp, laced with power. Alpha. My hands curled into fists under the table. Hold it together. He didn’t get to see me slip. “You asked for this meeting?” I said, clipped, professional. A slow smile touched his lips. Not warm. Not inviting. But it stirred something low in me anyway. “I did.” He leaned against the desk, one hand on the polished wood, the other loose at his side. “I wanted to speak… privately.” My pulse stuttered. “About the joint operations?” His eyes cut to mine, sharp as a blade. “That, and

    Orion Drevenhart – POV The words landed harder than I wanted to admit. If the North pulled out… if Cassian walked away… the South wouldn’t just lose an opportunity. We’d lose years. Everything our people had worked for would collapse—and with it, my promise to them. A coil of tension wound tight in my chest. Pride wanted to argue. Survival silenced it. Survival always won. I reached into my case and drew out the second document—Cassian’s original draft. Clean. Balanced. Fair. Power split evenly, jobs divided, no traps buried in the fine print. Sliding it across the table, I said quietly, “This is the version we’ll sign.” His eyes flicked to it. His face stayed unreadable, but the air shifted. Approval. Without a word, he lifted the pen. The scratch of ink against paper was soft, yet it sounded like a verdict. My pulse thundered as I rose and circled the table. Relief surged—sharper, heavier—carrying something I refused to name. Up close, I caught the scent of him. Sh

  • Behind the Beta's Mask: The Hidden Omega   Chapter 14: Finalizing Contract

    Orion Drevenhart – POV I hadn’t slept. Not really. Just short naps between long hours of reading, adjusting, and rewriting every paragraph of the agreement. My head ached. My eyes were heavy. But I couldn’t afford to get this wrong. Every word mattered. The North was too strong, too polished, too dangerous. If I didn’t lock down the terms tightly enough, the South would lose more than land. We could lose control. My desk lamp cast a pool of warm light over the documents, while the rest of my suite was sunk in heavy shadow. It was past 4 a.m. when I sat back, my fingers stiff from typing and annotating. The edits were done. The contract now had stricter clauses and the North will have to agree to them. No military involvement. No override power from the North. All hiring had to prioritize Southern citizens. Most importantly, the land remained under Southern ownership—and technically, under me. This was the only way my uncle and the Council would accept the 50/50.

    Orion Drevenhart – POV The car was quiet as it drove through the morning fog. I sat in the back seat, staring out the window, deep in thought. My hands rested on my lap, but my mind was spinning. The silence inside the vehicle felt heavier than usual, thick like the mist curling around the trees. The driver said nothing. Even the radio was off — just the low hum of the engine and the occasional crunch of gravel under the tires. I welcomed the stillness, though. It matched the storm building inside my head. I was on my way to meet my uncle and the Southern council. And I had one goal. Convince them to accept the 50/50 deal Cassian offered. I didn’t want to accept it at first. I still didn’t love it. But the truth was simple: we needed that deal. It’s not that the South was weak or poor. We had resources. We had land. We had money. But when it came to technology, the North was far ahead. Cassian’s company had the best systems, the best workers, and the most advanced tech

  • Behind the Beta's Mask: The Hidden Omega   Chapter 12: We need to talk

    Cassian pov My gaze flicked to the folder on the table — the contract Orion had sent. But my mind wasn’t on the papers yet. " Orion’s wolf?" Kai asked. “Yes, to free Orion’s wolf,” I said simply. “He built walls around himself so high, not even his wolf can scream for help. But Nora... she’s the only one allowed to past those walls.” Kai tilted his head. "Explain" I continued,. "If I can win her over — not with money, but with truth — she might help me switch his suppressants. The ones that are slowly killing him." “You’re not asking her to betray him?” he asked, tone skeptical. "No," I replied. "I’m asking her to save him. And she knows it. She's been the one handing him those pills, brewing his suppressant tea. She's seen his hands shake. She’s smelled his scent thinning." Kai raised a brow. “She seems loyal. You think she’ll agree to sabotage his suppressants? That’s risky.” He blew out a breath. “And if she says no?” "Then I find another way. But I'm betting s

  • Behind the Beta's Mask: The Hidden Omega   Chapter 11: A plan for my Omega's wolf to rise

    Cassian’s POV The room was quiet, but my head wasn’t. I had a file in my hands — something about land policies and zoning — but I’d been reading the same sentence for the past ten minutes without processing a single word. My eyes moved over the lines, but my mind was far away, trapped in that damn ballroom again, in that moment when Orion’s scent had wrapped around me like a vice I didn’t ask for. I exhaled sharply and dropped the file on the table. This was getting ridiculous. A knock came. I didn’t look up. “Come in.” Kai stepped in, tablet in hand, his usual calm expression in place, though I could tell something about him looked... entertained. “There’s someone from the South here to see you,” he said. My eyes snapped to him. “Orion?” Kai smirked. “No. Not the Prince himself. His secretary. Also his maid. Also his friend. Apparently.” I arched an eyebrow. “He really multitasks his staff, doesn’t he?” Kai’s lips twitched. “She said her name is Nora. She ca
