The dining hall smelled faintly of roasted meat and fresh bread. Silverwares arranged meticulously.

The hall was quieter than usual.

Not silent. Just… controlled.

Plates shifted.

Cutlery touched porcelain.

Servants moved in and out, careful not to make unnecessary noise.

Damian sat at the head of the table, savoring the first bites of his meal,

Not rushed. Not slow.

Just… steady.

Like everything else about him. His mind was elsewhere,calculating, observing, always aware.

The doors opened.

  • Forsaken by the Alpha   CHAPTER 35: THE NIGHT DOESN’T REST

    Sleep did not come back to Selene.She tried to sleep.She really did try.Selene lay still on the bed with her eyes closed and her body unmoving, willing herself to drift off to sleep again. Every time she got close her mind pulled her back to the dream, to the waters.Her fingers curled slightly against the sheets and her chest rose and fell fast for someone who was lying still.Selene whispered softly "No…"She did not want to go to the dream, not yet not when she did not understand what she had seen, not when it had felt so real.Selene sat up slowly and carefully.The room was quiet too quiet, the kind of silence that made her thoughts louder.Her gaze drifted to the window and the moonlight slipped through, pale and soft stretching across the floor calling to her or maybe she just needed something to break the stillness.Selene pushed the covers aside. Her foot touched the ground feeling a faint sting, not sharp anymore but enough to remind her.She ignored the pain, stood up an

  • Forsaken by the Alpha   CHAPTER 34: THE FIRST CALL

    Sleep did not come easily to Selene. It rarely did.. When it did it never stayed quiet for long.Selene did not remember closing her eyes. She only remembered the weight in her chest following her into the dark.. Then she was standing.She was not in her room. She was not in the castle. She was elsewhere. The ground beneath her feet was cold and smooth like stone that had been polished over time. The air was still still with no wind, no sound and no movement.Selene frowned slightly, her fingers curling at her sides. "Where am I?" she asked, but her voice echoed and did not go far as if the place itself swallowed it.She turned slowly. That was when she saw it. A wall, tall and endless stretching beyond what her eyes could follow.. On the wall there were words, written across the surface layered and overlapping ancient.Selene stepped closer, her breath slowing, her eyes narrowing slightly as she tried to read. But the words did not stay still. They moved, slid into each other sc

    Seraphina didn’t hear everything.But she heard enough. It happened quickly. The door to Damian’s chamber had opened slightly without warning.The Omega was on her knees.Head low.Like she was barely going to make it out in one piece.Seraphina had been walking past at the time.She stopped.Not visibly.Not enough to draw attention.But she slowed.Just enough.Her steps softened.Her breathing steadied.Her presence… erased.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * “Alpha please, I'm sorry….”The Omega’s voice had been shaking.Seraphina’s eyes shifted slightly. Toward the half-closed door. She didn’t turn fully. Didn’t need to. She listened.“It was Lady Seraphina, she stopped me and asked me to return the food.” “She said Selene can get her own food.”Silence.Heavy.Sharp.It stretched.Long enough to feel dangerous.Then Damian’s voice.Low.Controlled.“When I give an order, you carry it out.” “No one overrides me.”No raised tone. No anger thrown around. But the weight of it.

  • Forsaken by the Alpha   CHAPTER 32: THE FIRST SLIP

    The moment did not break immediately. Damian was still holding her. Selene had not stepped away. Not yet. Her hand rested lightly against his chest. Her breath was uneven. His grip was firm. Too firm. Too aware. The space between them felt wrong. Too close. Too quiet. Too real.Then a sound came. Low. Soft.. Loud enough in the silence. Her stomach. It chunned.Selene froze. Her eyes widened slightly. No, not now. Not in front of him. She pulled back quickly. Too quickly. Her injured foot hit the ground wrong. A sharp wince crossed her face.She said, "I am sorry Alpha" and stepped away from him. Her head lowered. Her hands tightened at her sides. Damian did not move. Did not speak. His eyes stayed on Selene. Watching. Not missing anything.Damian said, "I asked that food be sent to you." He was calm. Flat.. There was something under it. Something sharper. Selene blinked. She looked up at him. Confused. "Food?" she asked.There was a pause. "I did not receive anything, " sh

    The pain did not go away. It just stayed there.. Persistent. It was not his pain. But felt like it.Damian walked down the corridor with strides. His footsteps echoed behind him. His jaw was tight. His eyes were fixed on one thing. Finding her. He did not question it anymore. He just kept moving.The pull was stronger now. It was like a thread tied around his chest. Guiding him without a reason. Without thinking. He turned into the hall. The air changed. It was damp and cold and quiet. The basement.His steps slowed down. Not because he was scared. Because he was being careful. The further he went, the stronger the feeling got. That sharp pain pulsed through him again. He thought it was his foot. It was not. His eyes got darker. “Selene,”he said quietly.……................................Selene tried to ignore the pain. At first it was a slip. The floor was wet. She had not noticed. Her foot landed on something. Glass. The pain was sudden and sharp. She lost her grip on the baske

    Selene stood outside the Alphas door for a time.The tray she was holding felt heavy even though it was a bowl of warm water, a clean towel and some medicine. It was not complicated. She had done this before.Yet…Her fingers held the tray a little tighter.Her heartbeat was louder than usual. It w

    The gates opened before anyone had to shout. Word had already reached ahead of them. By the time Damian was brought into the castle the air had changed. Conversations died mid-sentence, footsteps slowed and eyes turned. The Alpha was back.. He was hurt.Two warriors supported him on either side th

    The moment Liam left the study Damian didn’t waste any time.“Get the warriors ready. We are going in ten minutes " he said firmly.Liam nodded. "I am already on it.”Damian. Walked out right away, his pace fast, his face set. He was focused now. Nothing else mattered. Whatever was happening at the

    The doors to Damian's study swung open without any warning."Alpha " Liam said.His voice was like a knife cutting through the room.Damian did not look up. He just sat there behind his desk, his fingers, his face not showing any feelings.. The way the air in the room changed and the urgency in Lia
