Asheron

"She’s a dangerous gamble, Alpha. Seriously. She’s not even worth the headaches."

Kevin didn't even warn me before rushing in. He was even looking at me like I’d completely lost my mind.

I didn't lift my eyes from the security monitors on my screen. "I don't remember inviting you into my office to critique my personal life, Kevin."

"I’m not critiquing, I’m giving you a field assessment," Kevin said, tapping his fingers against his knee. "I was keeping an eye on the Omega just like you i

  • Rejected Omega, Alpha's Claim    CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN: RECLAIMING THE UNRANKED OMEGA

    AsheronThe next morning, Kevin stepped into the study with a sealed letter in one hand and a face that had gone carefully blank.“Rowan is back again” he said. “He brought his highest-ranking wolves. He is requesting a formal audience. And he asked for Seraphina by name.”I took the letter. Inside, the handwriting was clean, arrogant, and far too familiar.It read: “Sinclair, I made a mistake. I want her back. The child as well. I am prepared to negotiate territory, trade, and public apology. Refuse, and I will make this a matter for the high council. She was under my house first. I do not surrender what belongs to me”I read it twice. Then I set it on the desk and stared at the dark window while the first light of morning touched the training grounds.He had thrown her away in front of an entire hall. He had named her stepsister as Luna and offered Seraphina a place as side mistress like she was a spare wolf. He had watched her crawl across the floor while others laughed. And now, a

    SeraphinaWhen the room was finally empty, Asheron turned back to me.“Can you walk?” he asked.“Yes.”He did not offer his arm. He simply stayed close as we left. The alarm bells had stopped. We did not speak until we reached my room. He followed me inside and closed the door. For a moment he only stared at me.“You should sit” he said.I sat on the edge of the bed. He remained standing, as if sitting beside me would cross a line he was still trying to protect.“Lira will be here soon,” he said. “She will check the child again. And your ribs.”“I know.”Silence settled between us. But at least, it was not empty. It was full of everything we had not said. I looked down at my hands. “You are protecting me according to the contract”His jaw tightened. “I did.”“In front of Pearl. In front of Kevin. You did not hesitate.”“I was not thinking about politics at that moment.” His voice was low.I nodded slowly. The honesty in his words made my chest ache. This was the part that felt most

  • Rejected Omega, Alpha's Claim    CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE: FIRST REAL BATTLE

    SeraphinaThe third toll of the alarm bell vibrated through the floorboards and into my bones.Asheron’s arm tightened around me before he set me carefully on my feet. The gentleness vanished the moment my balance held. His face had gone cold. It was the expression he had on when the territory itself was under threat.“Stay behind me,” he ordered. “If I tell you to run, you run. No arguments allowed”I nodded. Someone intended to use the relic before the bloodline results could spread any further.Kevin met us in the corridor, already armed with two elite guards at his back. “West wing breach. Pearl’s personal attendants overpowered the first watch. She is not in her room.”Asheron’s reply was a single low growl. “Seal the outer gates. No one is allowed to leave the grounds. Secure the relic.”We moved fast. Every hallway felt longer than it should have. Servants pressed themselves against walls as we passed. The alarm continued its sound designed to wake every wolf on the estate and

  • Rejected Omega, Alpha's Claim    CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR: TRIGGERING RELIC

    Seraphina Asheron’s forehead stayed against mine for several long and deep breaths. The connection between us was now more insistent, as if the confirmation of Sovereign blood and Sinclair paternity had finally given it permission to root deeper. I felt the exact moment another seal cracked. A fragment slipped through showing Asheron’s hand had locked around my wrist, pulling me into shadow. His mouth in my ear, whispered: “If the relic senses us, it will not stop at warning. It will erase.” I gasped and pulled back. Asheron’s eyes snapped open, as if he had seen the same piece of stolen time. “What was that?” he demanded. “A warning, perhaps” I whispered. “From before. You knew the relic could take the memories. You tried to keep me away from it. It’s the same one we seized from Rowan and Quinn” Lira’s earlier words about the soul-swap relic echoed in my head. The same artifact Quinn had used to steal my body. The same one that had powered the suppression seals. I presse

  • Rejected Omega, Alpha's Claim    CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE: THE SPACE HE LEFT

    SeraphinaI woke up slowly and felt Asheron’s lingering presence For a few disoriented seconds I thought Asheron was still there. The chair beside the bed was empty, but the blanket had been drawn higher over my shoulder, and the faint warmth of his hand still seemed to linger in my palm. He had stayed.The knowledge settled in my chest with a complicated ache. He could order distance, confine me, refuse the child or the bond, and still he had sat holding my hand like a man who no longer trusted himself to leave.Lira moved quietly at the side table, arranging vials and a slim diagnostic slate. When she noticed I was awake she offered a small smile.“He only left when I arrived,” she said without being asked. “Sat there the entire time. Alpha did not look away for a second”I pushed myself up carefully. The bruises along my ribs protested, but the sharp edge of pain had dulled. “Did he say anything?”Lira hesitated. “He ordered Pearl’s confinement extended indefinitely. Kevin posted

  • Rejected Omega, Alpha's Claim    CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO: EVERY PIECE OF ME

    AsheronNext to me, Seraphina slept like someone who had finally run out of strength to keep fighting.I sat in the chair beside the bed long after her breathing evened out, her hand still loosely curled in mine. The bruise on her cheek looked darker and more painful. The cut in her lip had stopped bleeding. Every shallow rise of her chest reminded me that two of her ribs were damaged because she had chosen silence over self-defense.For me. All for my sake. I didn’t deserve all of that. Especially not with the way I treated her.Of course, I should have left to maintain my ego. But for some reason, I had told myself I would stay only until she fell asleep, then return to the study and rebuild the distance I kept demanding. Instead I remained there. I was so far gone for her it was quite humiliating to admitAn unranked Omega. That was still the label my mind tried to force into place. Seraphina was the kind of woman a Sinclair Alpha was never supposed to want, let alone need. I
