"Slow down Jess. You're not making any sense," Ariel said over the phone.

"Kanyon told me he loves me last night, and I freaked out. I told him I wasn't worthy," Jessica repeated, but this time she took a breath between every word so her statement didn't sound jumbled.

"Girl, you better go tell that man you feel the same way before it's too late. Life waits on no one," Ariel instructed.

"I know, but I thought since I am an omega, and he's the lycan king, it wouldn't work out," she sighed. She figured it was best to keep the whole wolf/beast fiasco to herself. She wasn't even sure if it was real or just a dream. "Plus he's expecting a pup with a high-ranked she-wolf. Don't you think it's best he mates with the mother of his child?" Jessica whispered, biting her bottom lip while she used her finger to play with the phone cord.

"No, the fuck I don't. The heart wants what it wants and he doesn't want Anna. The man craves you, Jessica. I saw the way he looks at you," Ariel barke

  • THE REJECTED OMEGA IS THE LYCAN KING’S MATE   166: THE MONSTER IN THE MIST

    The land beyond the northern ridge was unrecognizable.What once was fertile farmland had turned to ash and bone. Smoke curled from still-smoldering fields, and the wind carried the iron stench of blood. Birds no longer sang here. Even the crows kept their distance.Kanyon led the charge, his beast just beneath the surface, itching to break free. DJ rode beside him, stoic as ever, though his knuckles were white against the reins. Behind them, a hundred of the kingdom's best warriors moved in formation, senses sharp, weapons drawn. The silence of the land disturbed even the most hardened among them."Your Majesty," Cameron said, eyes scanning the horizon. "Luxair Valley's gone. Burned clean through. No survivors."Kanyon didn't speak. He couldn't. His chest was a cage of pressure, tightening with every step closer to the truth. This wasn't the work of mindless beasts or rogue packs. This... this was war. And whoever had started it, they knew the kingdom intimately.He had a sinking fee

  • THE REJECTED OMEGA IS THE LYCAN KING’S MATE   165: CORY’S POSSESSION

    The night air was thick with mist, curling like fingers along the crooked streets. In the distance, lycans howled, but here, near the edges of the kingdom, the shadows moved differently—heavier, hungrier.The Baktu glided through the mist like smoke, her form barely visible to mortal eyes. Where she passed, streetlamps flickered and dimmed, casting long, twitching shadows over the cracked pavement.Her target stumbled out of a dingy bar, reeking of ale and regret.Cory.Once a proud man, now reduced to a shell of himself, unshaven, bloodshot eyes, clothes rumpled. He lurched forward, muttering slurred curses under his breath. Constance followed silently, savouring the desperation that rolled off him in waves."Oh Jessica," he muttered, lifting a bottle of moonshine wrapped in a brown paper bag to his head. He still obsessed over her. Still pined for what he had lost—and would never reclaim on his own.Cory kicked a broken bottle down the sidewalk, his boot scuffing the asphalt as he s

  • THE REJECTED OMEGA IS THE LYCAN KING’S MATE   164: WE RIDE WITHIN THE HOUR

    June's hands hovered above Daniel's broken body, magic swirling at her fingertips. Her lips pressed into a hard line as she tried spell after spell. The lights flickered, danced—and fizzled out, but nothing else was happening. She felt drained and she felt like giving up. With a frustrated grunt, June finally sat back on her heels. She wiped the sweat from her brow and looked at them all."I can't summon Opal," she said heavily. "Her magic... it's too strong. It's like trying to leash a hurricane with a fishing net. She'll feel the attempt and shake it off."A heavy silence fell over the room."The only way to get her here is," June added. "To go to her and convince her to come to us. The only thing I know is she lives on Mystic Mountain."Ariel tightened her arms around herself, staring down at Daniel, whose pitiful, animalistic whimpers were growing weaker by the second."Mystic Mountain..." Jessica murmured, exchanging a worried glance with Kanyon.DJ's jaw tightened. "Then we go.

  • THE REJECTED OMEGA IS THE LYCAN KING’S MATE   163: AND THEN HE ATE HER HEART

    Ariel didn't stop running until she reached the far end of the hallway. She had Dante wailing against her chest with one hand and the other holding her phone. Her hands shook so badly she almost dropped her phone as she fumbled to call DJ."Come back here. Now," she gasped the moment he answered. Her voice cracked with panic. "Please — it's Daniel. Something's wrong!"She hung up before he could say anything.Seconds later, DJ came tearing around the corner, his face pale and panicked.He skidded to a stop in front of her, reaching for Dante without hesitation."Take him to Reniece," Ariel choked out, handing the crying baby into DJ's arms. "Don't let Daniel near him. I have to get Queen Jessica and King Kanyon!"Without waiting for a response, Ariel spun and ran. The corridors blurring as she pushed herself faster.She found the King and Queen in their sitting room, hugging. It looked like they had made up after that heated argument earlier. They broke apart the second they saw Arie

  • THE REJECTED OMEGA IS THE LYCAN KING’S MATE   162: HUNGER

    The guest suite was too quiet. The kind of silence that pressed down on Ariel's chest and made it hard to breathe.She sat stiffly on the edge of the sofa, nervously twisting the hem of her sweater. Across from her, Daniel shifted in the armchair, his movements stiff, mechanical, wrong.His eyes, which were once so warm and so full of life — now looked hollow, like windows to a house long abandoned.DJ grinned from ear to ear, then he clapped a hand on his father's shoulder."Man, it's good to have you back, Dad," he said, his voice thick with emotion.Daniel smiled weakly but said nothing. His gaze flickered between DJ and Ariel, confusion and unease poorly masked behind that ghost of a smile.Ariel's heart squeezed painfully.He didn’t remember me. Nor did he remembered their son.But worse than that — worse than the empty look in his eyes was the smell.It wasn't fully vampiric, it lacked that sickly-sweet pungency, but it was there.Lingering in the air. Just wrong and unorthodox.

  • THE REJECTED OMEGA IS THE LYCAN KING’S MATE   161: KANYON’S FURY

    The heavy doors to their quarters slammed shut behind them with a deafening boom. Jessica flinched at the sound but refused to cower. She stood her ground as Kanyon paced in front of the fireplace, the muscles in his jaw ticking furiously. Yes, he was upset when he found out that Jessica dabbled in dark magic to bring Daniel back to life. But this, finding out that Constance is now a Baktu made everything even more detrimental. The temperature in the room felt hotter than the flames licking the hearth, the fury rolling off Kanyon in suffocating waves."You went behind my back," Kanyon growled, his voice a low, dangerous rumble. "You. My Queen. The one person I should be able to trust above all others!"Jessica crossed her arms defiantly. "I did what needed to be done, Kanyon. You don't understand—""No! You don't understand!" he roared, whipping around to face her. His eyes, usually molten gold with warmth, now blazed like wildfire. "You brought back a dead Alpha using forbidden mag
