Asheron

I barged into Pearl’s room without thinking.

Pearl gasped and scrambled backward against her vanity.

"Where is she? Tell me before I lose it" I asked as calmly as possible.

"A-alpha Asheron" Pearl stammered while clutching her chest "What... What is the meaning of this? Y-you cannot s-simply barge into my—"

I bridged the distance between us in a second. "Do not lie to me, Pearl," I growled as I stepped closer to her "Seraphina is gone. Her scent is dead. If you had a hand in taking

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

    SeraphinaAsheron’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 pressed a hand to m

  • 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

    Seraphina Asheron caught my chin, tilting my face toward the light. His thumb brushed the split in my lip with a care that contradicted the fury rolling off him in waves.“Are you going to talk or not?” he repeated, quieter this time, but far more dangerous.“I told you. It does not matter.”“It matters.” His gaze dropped to the way I held my breath. “Breathe.”I tried. The sharp pain that followed made my knees weaken. Asheron’s other arm locked around my waist before I could sink, holding me upright against his chest. The contact was sudden and overwhelming. His scent flooded my senses“Lira,” he called over his shoulder as his voice carried the full weight of Alpha command. “Now.”Kevin must have been waiting nearby. Within moments Lira rushed in with her medical bag, face paling when she saw me. Asheron did not release me. He guided me to the edge of the bed and forced me to sit, one hand still steadying my shoulder as if he expected me to collapse.Lira worked quickly with gent

    SeraphinaI should have known Pearl would not just wait around and let me be. I had been waiting for her to make a move and while heading back Practically, I was alone enough for Pearl to strike.She waited for me beside the fountain, dressed in pale lavender that looked almost gentle in the sunlight. The moment the attendant withdrew and the garden gates closed, the gentleness vanished.“You just could not stay in your place,” Pearl said softly. “Sovereign bloodline. First Dynasty. Do you practice these stories in front of the mirror until you believe them?”I kept my voice calm. “I did not come here to argue with you.”“No. You came because you thought my fiancé’s temporary fascination made you untouchable.” She stepped closer. “He still looks at you and sees a weak, unranked Omega he can keep on a leash. That is all you will ever be to him. A problem he has not yet decided how to discard.”I said nothing. Anything I spoke would be twisted and carried straight back to Asheron as pr

  • Rejected Omega, Alpha's Claim    CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE; RANKING THE TRUTH

    Seraphina I waited until nightfall to make a move.The security guards outside my door had grown used to my silence. When I opened it and told them the Alpha had summoned me, they hesitated only a second before stepping aside. Kevin would hear about it within minutes. I did not care.I found Asheron in the training yard, alone under the half-moon. He had been sparring with a reinforced post until the wood splintered. I noticed that he sensed me immediately because his shoulders stiffened. He did not turn around.“I ordered you confined.”“I know.” I stopped at the edge. “I also know you have been standing outside my door like a man at war with himself. So I came to end the pretense.”He turned then. Moonlight caught the hard lines of his face. His eyes flicked over me, assessing, dismissing, and lingering despite himself.“You are supposed to be resting,” he said. “Not wandering the grounds after dark.”“I am tired of resting while you decide whether I am worthy of anything.” I too
