Chapter 8 — The Old Dog

The pack doctor finally allowed me to get out of bed and move around. My ribs still ache, my muscles still protest, and my wolf still snarls at the memory of how close I came to death because of my son’s foolishness. Because of the woman he chose over his fated mate. A woman who never deserved the title of Luna. A betrayer of the pack she swore to protect.

Serena nearly destroyed us.

And I made sure she paid the ultimate price for her betrayal.

I walk slowly down the co

  • Rejected Omega, Alpha's Fate   Chapter 12. A New Day

    Patricia. m Chapter 12 -- A New DayThe smell of breakfast hits me halfway down the hall—eggs, sausage, fresh bread, and something sweet my mother only makes when she’s stressed. Sylvie perks up inside me, tail flicking.She’s worried, Sylvie says. She always worries. Not like this.I push open the dining hall door.My parents sit at the long table, close together, speaking quietly. My mother’s eyes soften the moment she sees me. My father’s shoulders drop a fraction—his version of relief. Elias sits beside them, posture alert, eyes scanning the room the way he always does.“Morning, sweetheart,” my mother says, voice warm but edged with concern.I sit beside her. She slides a plate toward me without a word. I start eating immediately. My body needed this more than I realized.“You slept?” my father asks, studying me the way he studies wounded wolves—checking for breaks that aren’t visible.“Enough.”He nods. He doesn’t push. He never pushes unless it’s life or death.The dining

  • Rejected Omega, Alpha's Fate   Chapter 11. Aftermath

    Chapter 11 — Aftermath I stay in the ruins long after Alara walks away. Drago presses under my skin, pacing, restless, wanting to go after her even though he knows we can’t. The night settles around me heavy and cold. The pack is still behind me, silent and tense, but I can’t turn around. I’m not ready to see whatever’s in their eyes. I’m not ready to see whatever’s in mine.Alara’s terms replay in my head, each one landing with steady weight. Drago growls at every one of them, not in anger—just in the frustration of knowing we earned this. She didn’t come back for me. She didn’t come back for forgiveness. She came back because the pack is falling apart and someone has to hold it together.And that someone isn’t me.I finally force myself to move. The wolves shift out of my path, not with respect but with uncertainty. They felt the shift. They know things changed. They’re waiting to see what I do next. Drago is silent now, watching them through my eyes, judging me harder than any of

  • Rejected Omega, Alpha's Fate   Chapter 10. Terms of Survival

    Chapter 10 — Terms of Survival The ruins are quiet.Not silent—quiet. The kind of quiet that comes after a storm, when everything is still deciding whether it survived. The air hangs heavy, thick with the scent of damp earth and old stone, as if the land itself is holding its breath. Shadows cling to the broken walls, stretching long and thin across the training grounds like scars.I stand in the center of the broken training grounds, the same place I once bled for this pack. The same place they let me fall. The same place they watched me walk away five years ago. The memories rise like ghosts, brushing against my skin, reminding me of every bruise, every betrayal, every silence that hurt worse than claws.Now they watch me again.I feel their eyes from the shadows. Wolves lingering at the edges, unsure whether to approach or flee. Unsure what I am now. Unsure what I will demand. Their bodies are tense, ears angled forward, tails low. They’re waiting for something—permission, punishm

  • Rejected Omega, Alpha's Fate   Chapter 9. What you Broke

    Chapter 9 — What You BrokeShe walked past me.Not a glance. Not a pause. Not a flicker of recognition.Just… nothing.The same nothing she felt when our bond snapped five years ago. The same nothing that hollowed out my chest and left Drago silent for months. The same nothing that has been eating me alive ever since.I stand in the doorway long after she’s gone, fingers tightening around the frame until the wood creaks. The courtyard is dim now, shadows stretching long across the broken training fields. Wolves move around me, but none speak. None interrupt. None dare.They saw her. They felt her. And they felt me break all over again.Drago stirs, a low rumble in the back of my mind. You did this.“I know.”She doesn’t want you.“I know.”She shouldn’t.That one hurts more than the others.I step back into the pack house, shutting the door behind me. The sound echoes through the hall, sharp and final. I walk toward my office, each step heavier than the last. The bottle of w

And I made sure she paid the ultimate price for her betrayal.I walk slowly down the corridor, each step reminding me of the battles fought and the ones still ahead. The pack house feels different now—quieter, heavier, as if the walls themselves are mourning. Wolves pass me with lowered heads, offering respectful nods. They know what happened. They know who caused it. They know who almost died because of it.I reach the back office and don’t bother knocking. I push the door open and enter, lowering myself into the chair opposite where my son stands.Adrian is staring out the windo

  • Rejected Omega, Alpha's Fate   Chapter 7. What He Destroyed

    Chapter 7 — What He Destroyed. The council chamber doors slam shut behind me with a heavy thud that vibrates through the hallway. The sound is final, like a verdict being delivered. I don’t look back. I refuse to give them even a fraction of my attention after the disrespect they tried to force on me. Sylvie is pacing inside me, claws scraping at the edges of my control, still bristling from the confrontation.They wanted you on your knees, she snarls, her voice sharp and feral. They can choke on their own arrogance, I reply, my jaw tight.Elias trails behind me, silent, keeping a careful distance. He knows better than to speak right now. My heels strike the stone floor sharply as I move through the pack house, each step a reminder that I survived what they tried to break. The walls feel smaller than I remember, the air heavier, the dominance of the pack house pressing down like a weight I refuse to carry.I push open the side door and step out into the courtyard. The air is cooler
