**Shawn's POV**

(The Next Morning)

My phone screen glares back at me, unchanged.

There is no new message or missed call from Stella. Her phone is still off.

I've tried calling three times since I woke up. Texted twice. Even thought about calling Joe again, but what's the fucking point? He made it clear—she doesn't want to talk to me.

And now I have to walk into my brother's memorial service and pretend I'm holding it together.

I'm parked outside Angela's house, watching the few guests trickle in through the front door. The werewolf community here is smaller. They live quiet lives among humans who don't have a clue of our existence.

My hands grip the steering wheel until my knuckles turn white.

I don't want to be here.

I should be back with Stella, making sure she and Noah are safe. Instead, I'm sitting in a goddamn rental car outside a house full of memories I've spent years trying to bury.

Victor's words from last night won't stop echoing in my head: I don't trust those gua

  • Rise Of The Betrayed Omega    Chapter 147. Tell her about me.

    **Shawn's POV** "What do interns usually look like?" Stella asks, and I can hear the slight edge in her voice. She doesn't like him. Thank fuck. "I just mean—" Ezekiel moves closer, his smile widening, "—you seem too... polished for an entry-level position. Most interns come in wearing khakis and polo shirts. You look like you should be running a department." It's a compliment wrapped in flirtation, and Ezekiel delivers it too smoothly, it makes me clench my jaws hard. Stella's expression doesn't change. "I believe in dressing for the job you want, not the job you have." "Smart," Ezekiel says. "I like that. Initiative. Ambition. Those are good qualities." I want to punch him in the throat. Kelvin is looking between them with wide eyes, clearly sensing the weird energy in the room but not understanding it. "So, Stella," Ezekiel continues, leaning against the sorting table in what he probably thinks is a casual, charming pose. "What made you want to work here? At Ace Industrie

  • Rise Of The Betrayed Omega    Chapter 146. Playing it cool.

    **Shawn's POV** (Meanwhile upstairs...) I follow Ezekiel out of my office, every step feeling like I'm walking toward my own execution. The hallway is busy with the morning rush—employees heading to meetings, assistants carrying coffee, the general hum of a workday beginning. And as we pass, I notice the looks. The she-wolves employed at Ace Industries have never been subtle. Their eyes follow me with barely concealed interest as usual, some smiling invitingly, others blatantly staring. Sarah from Marketing. Jessica from HR. That new analyst whose name I can't remember. All of them are watching with hope that never interested me. Not once. But apparently, it interests Ezekiel. "You know," he says conversationally as we walk, "you could have any woman in this building. Look at them. They practically undress you with their eyes." I don't respond. "I know Sarah's been asking about you for months," he continues, nodding toward a blonde she-wolf who's pretending to lo

  • Rise Of The Betrayed Omega    Chapter 145. Trainee.

    **Stella's POV** Barbara—as she finally introduced herself—leads me through the sleek lobby of Ace Industries with brisk, efficient steps that her sensible flats make easy. My Louboutins, on the other hand, are already starting to pinch. I keep pace with her, refusing to show any sign of discomfort, my head held high despite the fact that she's been nothing but condescending since we walked through the doors. We take the elevator down—down, not up—and I realize with a sinking feeling that we're heading to the basement level. The doors open to reveal a much less glamorous part of the building. Fluorescent lights. Linoleum floors. The faint smell of copy machine toner and old coffee. This is where the real work happens. Away from the glass and chrome of the executive floors. Barbara leads me down a narrow hallway to a small office with her name on the door. "Sit," she commands, gesturing to a chair across from her desk. I sit, smoothing down my skirt and crossing my an

  • Rise Of The Betrayed Omega    Chapter 144. Blackmail.

    **Shawn's POV** I'm sitting at my desk, reviewing the morning reports, when my secretary Margaret buzzes in. "Mr. Black, I've prepared everything for Miss Matthews' arrival as you requested. Her workstation is set up on the 1st floor, and I've briefed the team to give her—" "Special treatment," I interrupt. "But discreetly. She doesn't want anyone to know who she is yet. Make sure she's comfortable, has everything she needs, but don't make it obvious." "Understood, sir." I end the call and lean back in my chair, checking my watch. 8:08 AM. Stella should have arrived by now. The thought of seeing her in professional attire, walking through these halls, working in the same building as me... I adjust my tie, trying to focus on the financial reports in front of me instead of the images of last night—and this morning—that keep flooding my mind. Focus, Black. You have work to do. A knock on my office door pulls me from my thoughts. "Come in." The door opens, and I look up, expe

  • Rise Of The Betrayed Omega    Chapter 143. First day at work.

    **Stella's POV** "I understand," Cole says quietly. "Good. Don't call this number again unless it's about Maya or an actual emergency involving her. Goodbye, Cole." I hang up before he can respond. For a moment, I just sit there, my heart pounding, my hands shaking slightly... How dare he question my security?! "What the hell was that about?" Riley asks, her eyes wide. "I have no idea," I admit. "But something's wrong. Cole's never cared about Noah's security before. Why now? What does he know?" "Maybe he's just trying to mess with you?" Riley suggests. "You know, typical ex-husband power play?" "Maybe." But I don't believe it. There was something in Cole's voice. Something real. He's worried. But about what? I push the thought aside. I can't deal with Cole's drama right now. I have too much else going on. "I need to get ready," I say, standing up with the bedsheet and heading to my closet. "I have work today." "Work?" Riley's eyebrows rise. "Already?" "I'

  • Rise Of The Betrayed Omega    Chapter 142. Unexpected caller.

    **Stella's POV** "Cole?" I sit up straighter, pulling the sheets around me. "How did you get my number and why are you calling me?" Riley's eyebrows shoot up, and she mouths Cole Grant? with a look of surprise and disgust. "Good morning to you too, Stella." His voice is smooth, and too controlled. "I'm calling to check on Noah. How is he doing?" I frown, immediately suspicious. Cole has never once called to check on Noah since the custody hearing. Not once. "Noah's fine," I say curtly. "Is that all?" "Actually, no." There's a pause. "My parents have been asking about him. They're concerned about his wellbeing, especially now that he's away from... family." "Away from family?" My voice rises despite my best efforts to stay calm. "I AM also his family, Cole. Actually, I'm even MORE his family than you and your parents ever were." Riley's eyes widen, and she gives me an encouraging nod. I can practically hear Cole's jaw tightening on the other end of the line. Here comes his in
