Olivia Martins

I couldn’t move.

Not when I saw him. Not when I smelled him. Not when every fiber of my being screamed Mate.

Even after we shifted, I stood there like the wind had been knocked out of me. My heart thundered against my ribs. My knees were unsteady. I couldn’t look away from him—his hair a little longer, jaw sharper, but still the same eyes, the dark blue that I fell in love with.

Caspian.

He stepped forward, chest heaving, eyes glowing in the moonlight. My wolf whimpered. My own breath stuttered.

Then I turned and bolted.

The forest blurred as I ran, branches slicing past, the scent of moss and cold earth filling my lungs. I didn’t know why I ran or where I was going—just away. Away from the one person I wasn’t ready to face.

But he was faster.

I barely made it a hundred yards before I was yanked to a stop. His arm wrapped around my waist, and he spun me around, pressing me against a tree with just enough force to hold me still.

I struggled, panic clawing up m

  • I've Always Been Yours : A Rejected Omega Novel    Chapter 39

    Caspian Storm She collapsed in front of me, her legs folding beneath her, and I caught her before she hit the ground. Her skin was warm, soft, real. My arms locked around her instinctively, cradling her against my chest. I don’t know how long I stood there with her in my arms, but eventually, my feet started moving. The forest floor was cold beneath my bare soles, pine needles sticking to our skin, but I couldn’t care less. My heart thundered, every beat syncing with the scent of her wrapped around me. A few warriors spotted us as I crossed the edge of the trees, their gazes snapping to us in silent shock. A couple exchanged confused looks: a naked Alpha, an unconscious woman, her scent unmistakably omega, unmistakably mine. Let them stare. Let them talk. I didn’t stop. I only tightened my hold on her and kept walking. The cabin wasn’t far. It had been assigned to me earlier that day, modest, private, and now hers as much as it was mine. I shouldered the door open and stepped

    Olivia Martins The water was cooling, but I didn’t want to move. I was warm, not just from the heat of the bath, but from him. From Caspian’s arms, steady and familiar around me, the slow rhythm of his breathing against my back, the soft brush of his fingers as he washed the last of the pine needles from my skin. I should’ve pulled away. I should’ve protested more, said something stronger than this isn’t proper, but the words had crumbled the moment he reminded me what we used to do. Back then, he would’ve grinned, pulled me under with him, and kissed me senseless until I forgot everything but him. And now? Now I didn’t know what to feel. He was so gentle it hurt. So careful, like I was something precious. His

    Olivia Martins “Where the fuck do you think you're going?” Caspian growled, his voice low and dangerous. I backed up a step, the warmth of his chest still lingering in the robe I wore. “I just... I need my clothes,” I said, voice quiet but firm. His eyes didn’t leave mine. “I’ll have someone bring you some.” My fingers tightened on the edge of the fabric. “So what—am I your prisoner now?” Caspian stepped forward again, closing the space between us. I could feel the heat radiating from his bare skin and could see the sharp lines of his jaw tighten as he stared down at me. “You're mine,” he said, low and certain. “And you always will be.” The air grew heavier. He wasn’t touching me, but I felt caged. Not by his arms—by the bond pulsing betw

    Olivia Martins "Everyone, I want you to meet my mate, Olivia Martins." A stunned silence fell across the clearing after Caspian’s words echoed into the air. Then— Gasps. Cheers. Applause. Some clapped hesitantly, others with genuine excitement, while whispers fluttered like moths through the crowd. My heart hammered in my chest, my breath coming in shallow pulls as all eyes turned to me. But I didn’t look at them. I was too focused on the one face that didn’t cheer. Bridget. She stood a few paces behind the crowd, her face pale as bone, lips parted in disbelief. Her eyes were locked on me like she couldn’t make sense of what she was seeing. Like she didn't believe it was me. Then she spoke, her voice sharp enough to slice through the noise. “No. No, it can’t be her.” The crowd quieted at once. Bridget sho

    Olivia Martins The breeze tugged at the hem of my shirt as we made our way toward the sleek black SUV waiting at the edge of the clearing. My heart thudded with every step, unsure if it was nerves or something deeper settling beneath my skin. Caspian walked beside me, silent but solid, his presence grounding even when everything inside me felt like it was shifting. Then I saw her. “Victoria?” I blinked, stopping in my tracks. She was standing by the car—duffel bag slung over one shoulder, backpack at her feet, arms crossed with that familiar look of quiet determination stamped on her face. She smiled. “Did you really think I’d let my best friend travel to the other side of the country without me?” Emotion clogged my throat. I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. A laugh slipped through my lips instead, shaky and raw, and then she was in my arms. We held each other tightly, tears slipping freely now, soaking into the fabric of her hoodie and my shoulder. “I don’t care

    Olivia Martins Karen’s gaze locked on mine, unreadable in the growing hush around us. I braced myself for venom, for the bitterness she’d once spat so freely when she saw me as a threat to Caspian's future. But she surprised me. "Olivia," she said calmly. I eye her suspiciously, waiting for an outburst. "Luna Storm." I was greeted with a subtle bow, and when I lifted my head, she didn't stare at me with the disdain I'd gotten used to receiving from her. Instead, his eyes were softer, or at least I thought they were. This side of her was new to me, so I didn't really know what to expect. She stepped towards me and held my hand in hers. “I thought you were the reason he was betraying his mate,” she started quietly. I blinked, thrown off by the absence of malice in her voice. “Bridget,” she clarified. “I believed she was the one. I thought Caspian was being selfish. And reckless.” My heart pounded in my ears. I stayed silent. “I didn’t want history repeating itself,” she co

    Olivia Martins “Do you really want to bond yourself to an omega… forever?” Ryker asked. I held my breath, anxiously waiting for Caspian's reply. And then— “I couldn’t be more sure,” Caspian said, his voice low and steady. “I’ve waited long enough to make her mine.” Something inside me unknotted. I stood frozen for a second, the weight of his words grounding me in place. Then, without thinking, I raised my hand and knocked—once, sharply—before pushing the door open without waiting for a reply. Both men turned at the sound. Ryker blinked in surprise, but I only had eyes for Caspian. I walked in without a word, locked eyes with Ryker long enough for my glare to land, and then crossed the room in three purposeful strides. Caspian barely had time to straighten before I reached up, grabbed the collar of his shirt, and kissed him. Hard. It wasn’t gentle. It wasn’t tentative. Six years of longing, confusion, pain, and buried love burst to the surface. His hands hesitated for only

    OLIVIA MARTINS "Look at her, what a slut."I ignore the whispers and stares as I walk down the hallway of my high school. It wasn't new to me, the insults, the disgusted looks they throw at me. I should have gotten used to it by now. But I haven't. It doesn't hurt any less after a thousand times, and I still feel the burn in my cheeks when their stares get too unbearable.I keep my head down and increase my pace, counting my steps until I'm out of the school, where I won't be able to hear their snickers and whispers anymore. The blast of air that hits me as I step out of the school walls is refreshing, calming the storm raging in me. You might wonder why I put up with it. Well, it's because I have no other option. As an omega, I don't really have many choices. I listen, obey, and do what I'm told without questions. It's been that way for as long as I can remember. My opinions don't matter, my feelings are ignored, and the only reason I've not been kicked out is because of Caspian,

    First Day of the Congress Caspian Storm The Crescent Moon Pack’s territory stretched beneath a cloudy sky, crisp mountain air brushing against my skin as we crossed the border. I hadn’t been here before, but I’d read the reports—smaller numbers, tight defenses, an Alpha I don't quite trust, but I don't underestimate either. Darius stood waiting with a couple of warriors behind him. His smile was broad, but it didn’t reach his eyes. Calculating. I hated reading Alphas like that. Too polished. Too practiced. “Alpha Caspian,” he said, extending a hand. “Welcome to Crescent Moon.” I shook it, firm. “Thank you for hosting.” “And this must be your Luna,” he added, glancing at Bridget with polite interest. Bridget smiled brightly, batting her lashes at him. “She’s not—” I started, but Darius didn’t wait. “Please, allow one of our warriors to escort you both to your quarters.” “Separate quarters,” I said, louder this time, cutting in before the warrior could move. “Bridget is repr
