Rejected Omega, Alpha's Claim CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN: THE WEIGHT OF CARE
AsheronAs I watched her, I felt some type of tension.Seraphina held the cup with both hands, the way she did when she was trying to anchor herself. Her eyes stayed on the Sovereign texts, but her attention kept flickering toward me in small, careful glances. She still did not fully trust me. Every kindness seemed to land on her like something that might be taken away without warning.I understood why. I had given her enough reasons.I had given Pearl the public claim her family required. And then I had spent the days since adjusting schedules around her The contradiction was not lost on me. It lived in every decision I made.Kevin’s latest report lay open on the table beside my own papers. Border activity remained quiet. Rowan’s confinement was held. Pearl had arrived at the secondary residence as ordered, though the tone of the messages from her household suggested she was not content to stay there indefinitely. None of those matters required my presence Seraphina shifted in he
Rejected Omega, Alpha's Claim CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX: TOO GOOD
SeraphinaAsheron brought me a drink in the library. I was so surprised when I saw him.I sat at the long table with a spread of recovered Sovereign records in front of me. When he set the cup beside my elbow, I stared at it for a second longer than I should have.“You did not have to do that,” I said.“I know.” He pulled out the chair across from me and sat. “You have been reading for three hours. Lira said you forget to drink anything when you concentrate.”He had paid attention to me. This was becoming a pattern.Since after the wedding, Asheron had treated me with a careful, steady consideration that felt almost unreal. He ordered the kitchen to send meals at regular times because I still forgot to eat when my mind was busy. He assigned Kevin to handle any formal requests that might otherwise have dragged me into spaces I was not ready for. When the training sessions with Lira left me tired, he appeared at the door with a quiet order to rest, and then he actually waited to make s
Rejected Omega, Alpha's Claim CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE: A NEXT DISASTER
Narrator Pearl angrily stood exactly where she had been told the two of them preferred to meet when they thought no one was looking.Seraphina was still there. She was not quietly removed after the wedding as Pearl had been promised in private conversations before the ceremony. Instead, the Omega was walking with the Sinclair Alpha himself. Asheron’s head was bent toward her as she spoke. Whatever she said made the hard line of his mouth ease for a fraction of a second—an expression Pearl had never once managed to draw from him in all the years of their arranged future.She got jealous Asheron’s gaze dropped to her hand for a moment too long. The way he looked at her was already a claim more intimate than the ring he now wore for Pearl.The wedding had been perfect on the surface. The hall had been full. The vows had been spoken. The territory had seen the Sinclair Alpha bind himself to the correct woman. Pearl had smiled through every required moment and accepted the congratulati
Rejected Omega, Alpha's Claim CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOUR: THE PATH FOR ME
SeraphinaWe stayed together for a long time.His forehead against mine. His hand in my hair. My fingers still curled at the back of his neck. Asheron then eased back carefully, as if any sudden space might break something. His hand left my hair last. The absence of his touch felt colder than it should have.“I should not have done that,” he said. His voice was low and rough.“I asked you not to stop.”“I know.” He sat on the edge of the bed, elbows on his knees, head slightly bowed. The formal wedding clothes still looked out of place in my room. The ring on his hand caught a thin line of moonlight. “That is the problem. I keep doing things I should not do when it comes to you.”I pushed myself up against the pillows, mindful of my belly which was small but obvious. My mouth still felt warm from his. My pulse had not fully settled. Part of me wanted to reach for him again. However, the rational part knew the moment had already cost us both something.“I do not regret it,” I said.He
Rejected Omega, Alpha's Claim CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREE: WANTING HIM
SeraphinaAsheron’s hand stayed over mine for longer than I had expected. He belonged to someone else on paper now. And still I sat there, staring at the shape of his fingers against my skin, wanting more than I had any right to want.I wanted to kiss him.I felt like leaning just across the small space between us and pressing my mouth to his. I wanted to feel the heat of him, the strength of his hands, the way his breath might change if I got close enough. I wanted to hold him the way I had in the courtyard under the Blood Moon; except this time without the violence of the shift forcing the contact. I wanted him to be mine in a way the ceremony had made legally impossible.The wanting made me feel shallow.I was a pregnant Omega who had spent most of her life being discarded, used, and underestimated. Yes, the bloodline mapping had confirmed Sovereign markers. But realistically, I had not claimed any of that power yet. I had not learned what it meant. I still flinched under raised
Rejected Omega, Alpha's Claim CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWO: HE CHOSE ME ANYWAY
SeraphinaI did not expect Asheron to hear me when I called out to him. I had spoken his name almost without meaning to, the word leaving my mouth before I could stop it. When the door opened, I was still sitting on the edge of the bed. I had simply sat in the growing dark of the room and tried to make the images of the ceremony stop replaying in my headAsheron stood in the doorway for a long moment. The formal black of the wedding still clung to him. The ring on his hand caught what little light remained. He looked tired in a way that had nothing to do with the length of the day.“You called for me” he said.“Uhmmm, I guess so…maybe I did. I-I didn’t mean to”He stepped inside and closed the door. At first, he remained near the entrance, as if crossing the rest of the space might commit him to something he was not ready to name.“I saw you in the hall,” he said after a silence. “You barely looked up.”I scoffed in disbelief “I saw everything I needed to see.”He exhaled slowly. “I
